MUMBAI: TLC is all set to launch a new series called Food Fighters that will showcase the epic battle between home cooks and professional chefs. Hosted by renowned foodie and TLC host Adam Richman, the series is part cooking competition and part game-show.

Food Fighters will premiere on TLC on 9 April, 2015 and will air every Thursday at 9 pm.

In this fight for culinary supremacy, Richman will give home-grown amateur cooks the chance to test their skills against professional chefs. Every home cook has that one 'signature dish’ or ‘secret family recipe’ that always gains favour with friends and family and this will be their secret weapon in their fight against trained chefs.

The professional chefs will try to cook the amateur’s specialty dish even better than them, in the quest to prove that they’re better. The dishes will be judged by a dinner party made up of the American public.

With each savoured victory, the cash prize gets bigger and bigger as the home cooks try to rise to every challenge and outcook the professional chefs.

Food Fighters is the competition that proves it's not about the size of your kitchen, it's how you use it.
