Dawlish Discussion

Foodies were pitted against celebrity chefs in a kitchen cook-off for a cash prize.

Bethan Donnovan, 26, from Dawlish, and team-mates Cherif and Lucy Elzik from Exeter, cooked up an Egyptian-style storm in a BBC2 programme Step Up to The Plate.

The programme, on BBC2 at 4.30pm today, sees the South Devon food lovers test their culinary skills to the limit as they compete against celebrity chefs Aldo Zilli and Richard Phillips.

Hosted by flamboyant Strictly Come Dancing presenter Anton Du Beke, the show pits home-cooking against professional chefs.
