ITV Commissions New Culinary Series with Prue Leith

Prue Leith’s Cotswold Kitchen, a new culinary series led by restaurateur, writer and The Great British Bake Off judge Prue Leith, has been commissioned for ITV1 and ITVX.

Leith will celebrate and cook some of her favorite dishes of all time in her own home kitchen in the Cotswolds. She and her husband will share their top culinary shortcuts to help simplify cooking.

In each episode, Leith will invite a special guest into her kitchen to cook and share one of their own favorite recipes. As they sit down to enjoy the dish, they will chat about everyday issues. This includes a school dinner chef in Sheffield that could rival a Michelin-starred chef and various heritage foodies such as the Smokin’ Brothers, who are using ancient methods to smoke meat and fish.

Prue Leith’s Cotswold Kitchen is being produced by Yeti Television and is set to premiere on ITV1 and ITVX in February 2024. DCD Rights is distributing the series internationally.

“All in all, Prue’s Cotswold Kitchen is about the things that matter to me in my dotage: family, friends, home, farm and food,” Leith said. “And I’m such an egotist, I’m looking forward to sharing them all with the world.”

ITV Entertainment’s Leanne Clarke added, “I am thrilled for us to be invited into Prue Leith’s Cotswold kitchen for an ITV1 daytime first! Having the legend that is Dame Prue Leith on our screens from her own home every Saturday morning, sharing never-before-heard anecdotes and many of her all-time favorite recipes is a real treat that will show the culinary icon in a whole new light. Let’s get cooking!”
