The F Word - Series 4 Episode 3 - McFly

Date Published:

27/05/2008

Gordon's wannabe celebrity chefs this week are pop foursome Tom Fletcher, Dougie Poynter, Danny Jones and Harry Judd, otherwise known as McFly

With starring roles in a Hollywood movie and months spent on tour, these boys are more used to being served food than dishing it up for others. Now under Gordon's watchful eye, the band will tackle an impressive menu of
seared beef salad, herb crusted brill with minted Jersey royals and soufflé pancakes with rhubarb compote.

McFly will be hoping to dazzle the hungry hoard in the F Word kitchen with some culinary wizardry. If the diners are pleased with their food they'll pay up and the money raised will be shared between McFly's nominated charities, The Teenage Cancer Trust and The Brain Injury Rehabilitation Trust.

The boys seem fairly relaxed, singing Beatles' songs and gossiping about that Lindsay Lohan rumour. But when the heat is on, will the boys be able to perform in the kitchen?

With McFly busy with their beef, Gordon has time for a quick celebrity challenge. This week it's the turn of comedian and actor, Ben Miller to throw down the gauntlet in the for of a sponge pudding cook-off. Ben's hoping his Victoria sponge will blow Gordon's Swiss roll out of the water.

Swiss roll certainly isn't on the menu for beefy Ben, who's hoping to run a marathon but is more interested in Snickers. Marathon veteran Gordon catches up with Ben to share some training tips and to help him cook his way out of his belly-bulging binge habit with a Thai-style beef stir fry.

Also in search of healthy food, Janet Street-Porter takes a break from her veal rearing to learn more about ostrich meat. It's low in fat, low in cholesterol and tasty to boot, so why can't we buy it in the supermarkets? Janet takes to the streets to show the Great British public what they've been missing.

And Gordon fulfils every man's fantasy by learning how to make his own beer. He wants to get beer back in the restaurant and is in search of the perfect brew to compliment Janet's veal. After finding out what makes an awesome ale he sets up a brewery in his own back garden. Lucky Tana.
