Gerry and Daisy cook dinner at similar times and both enjoy listening to the radio as they are cooking. I propose a cross platform project that involves a ‘radio cook-along’ where people can tune in to a popular celebrity chef and cook as the chef dictates the recipe whilst adding their own personal tips, answering common problems and generally presenting the show.

The recipies featured on the show can be accessed via the internet and there are even podcasts that can be downloaded featuring step by step instructions on every recipe.

Every day, the audience are given a choice of three recipes via the internet or radio, which they can vote for throughout the day. Whichever recipe has the highest number of votes by the time the show goes to air is the recipe that will be cooked that day. The audience have a chance to phone in during the radio show, to ask any questions for the chef and can even suggest their own tips.  

This is aimed at all people who enjoy cooking and must cook at around the 5.30pm time. It suits those who like to be interactive, vote for the recipes, phone in advice and ask questions, as well as suiting those who are more passive audience members who enjoy listening to the banter and concentrating on the cooking.

    There’s not a lot of time to go shopping for the ingredients of the recipe that wins.

    Probably better as a podcast: you can prepare better and cook when it suits you.
