Meet the Crazy Delicious cast on Instagram your new Channel 4 and Netflix foodie obsession!

When it comes to cookery competitions, there are rarely any out there that push the boat far out.

Yes, MasterChef: The Professionals does feature some mind-blowing culinary skill, but on the whole, the types of cookery showed in these televised contests is on the classic or ‘safe’ side.

That’s where Crazy Delicious comes in. 

The brand new cooking competition – made by Channel 4 in collaboration with Netflix – sees cooks compete in a series of mind-boggling challenges, turning the ordinary into the extraordinary. They then will be judged by three of the world’s most imaginative and rule-breaking chefs.

So, who are the cooks and chefs taking on the first season of Crazy Delicious?

Carla Hall, Heston Blumenthal, Niklas Ekstedt

Meet the ‘Food Gods’

Firstly, we have Heston Blumenthal. Arguably one of Britain’s – if not the world’s most famous chefs ever, the 53-year-old chef is known for breaking the boundaries of what is thought possible when it comes to cooking. Heston is definitely a solid choice for Crazy Delicious.

Then, we have Swedish chef Niklas Ekstedt. Niklas, 41, is experimental in his approach to cooking. He is best known for his skills cooking over an open fire!

Finally there’s Carla Hall. She is a 55-year-old chef originally from Nashville, Tennessee who has worked as a TV chef. Carla was a co-host on The Chew, a talk show on ABC which looked at food from all angles, as well as being a featured chef on Sugar Rush and Top Chef.
