Creative culinary competition. Jak O'Donnell, Jimmy Lee and Graham Campbell battle to plate up a perfect main course.

Great British Menu is back and 24 of the nation's top chefs are challenged to plate up perfection. They're fighting it out for the chance to cook at a glorious banquet marking the centenary of the Women's Institute, at London's historic Draper's Hall.

This year's challenge is to produce 21st-century dishes worthy of the custodians of first-class homecooking. The dishes must honour the generations of women who have helped make Britain the great culinary nation it is today. The chefs have taken inspiration from the women in their families and the pioneering women of the institute to turn homecooked classics into modern masterpieces.

Along the way, there'll be soaring highs and crushing lows, as the chefs do everything they can to get their dishes onto the final banquet menu. But who will triumph and who will fall?

Scottish chefs Jak O'Donnell, Jimmy Lee and Graham Campbell are battling to plate up a perfect main course for a veteran chef. Self-taught Jimmy is honouring his mum with his rendition of her Chinese beef stew, but will it be worthy of the WI? However, Jak and Graham aren't resting on their laurels. They are going all out for top scores in the battle to reach the judges' chamber on Friday.
