Nigella Lawson selected her team of cooks on The Taste Channel 4

Nigel Lawson pulls out all the stops to try to secure the best cooks on her team on The Taste, a cooking competition like no other.

Tonight Angela and her fellow judges – food maverick Anthony Bourdain and critically acclaimed chef Ludo Lefebvre – cut the number of hopefuls who made it to the short list, from 25 to just 12.

Nigella is hoping that the four cooks she selected for her team will make her triumph over her fellow judges as the competition heats up.
