Courtesy of Banijay Italia Banijay Entertainment will debut “Cooking Grandmas,” a feel-good cooking competition format from Banijay Italia, its Italian production arm, at content showcase Mipcom in Cannes.
“Cooking Grandmas,” commissioned by Sky Italia’s TV8, is an original new primetime format that sees grandmothers compete in an uplifting culinary contest. While traditional family recipes and regional specialities are at the heart of the competition, contestants are pushed outside their comfort zones through challenges inspired by fine dining, street food and international cuisines. Beyond the kitchen, they live together in a rustic farmhouse where friendships, rivalries and personal stories unfold, revealing the characters behind the cherished family recipes.
