Two home cooks compete to impress four of the country's toughest and most feared food critics. Their aim is to convince this panel of culinary judges that home cooking can knock the spots of sophisticated restaurant food. The series will play out as a regional competition which will run five days a week for a month, culminating in a national final. Eating with the Enemy's presenter, top TV chef James Martin, will mentor and monitor the amateur cooks both at the cook-offs and at their homes, before they take their dishes on a journey from their own kitchens to a hot house professional kitchen. In the second week of the competition to find Eating with the Enemy's home cook champion, the critics get passionate. Food lover Jay Rayner declares love after eating heart-shaped biscuits made by feisty Anglo Italian mum, Nicole. But will his opinions influence the others' vote and what will they make of Jewish Joyce's daring menu?
