Can't Cook, Won't Cook is a British cooking game show that aired on BBC1 from 20 November 1995 to 7 July 2000.
Two people, one of whom can't cook and one of whom won't cook, were nominated to appear on the show and under the instruction of a celebrity/world class chef prepare and cook a meal. When the dish was cooked, the nominator would be blindfolded and asked to taste the food. Following this, they would decide whose dish was best. In the event of a tie, the aforementioned chef would decide.
Then once the winner has been decided the walls of the studio open up to reveal a prize (usually a food blender or set of saucepans).
