In this programme, the Kings from south west London compete against the Codougan family from Northamptonshire. The King family motto is 'backbone', and they are hoping that this approach, along with their favourite home-cooked dishes, will earn them a place in the semi-finals. Standing in their way are the Codougans - a mother, son and daughter combo who want to impress the judges with their spicy Caribbean-inspired food.

Sixteen multigenerational family teams of passionate cooks battle it out for the chance to be crowned the nation's best family of home cooks. Judging their efforts every step of the way are top Michelin-starred chef Giorgio Locatelli and renowned cookery teacher Rosemary Shrager. In each episode, two families face a series of challenges based on the realities of everyday meals, cooking up their favourite dishes both in the studio and in their own homes. At the end of each show, the judges decide which family make it through to the semi-finals.
