Fred Sirieix sets two of Britain’s most highly respected chefs the near-impossible challenge of replicating a British breakfast icon: a bowl of Shreddies. Daniel Clifford and Claude Bosi both hold two Michelin stars, but have previously tried and failed to win a Snackmasters trophy, so this especially difficult challenge is also a chance to earn redemption. And as the rivals have known each other for years, they’re all too happy to offer each other a special form of encouragement when they reach breaking point. Both chefs have three weeks to create a Shreddies recipe and replicate the secret factory processes that give Shreddies their famous lattice pattern and layered structure. In the end, Fred hosts a cook-off where the factory judges will pick a winner, with a shock result. And as the chefs desperately try to guess how Shreddies are made, Jayde Adams goes behind the scenes at the factory to learn the astonishing truth
