C±«Óãtv Controller Damian Kavanagh has commissioned Objective Productions to make a brand new food series called Incredible Edibles.

This 10x30 part series presented by fearless foodie and presenter of Gastronuts, Stefan Gates, once again aims to encourage children to open their minds to a whole new world of culinary creativity by introducing new methods of cooking, offering them new ingredients and asking them to question more closely what they eat and where it comes from.

From cooking with a JCB, sampling braised duck tongues and uncovering exactly what goes into an everyday hotdog, to engineering a rocket-powered baking powder, Incredible Edibles is a kids' cooking show like no other.

For the first time the show will go on the road and see Stefan and his team tour the UK experimenting with food in front of a live audience. On tour the team will also uncover some of the hidden truths about how some of the nation's favourite foods are actually made as well as cooking some long-forgotten local delicacies.

Stefan says: "Incredible Edibles is quite simply the wildest and most adventurous food series ever made: we're touring the country discovering extraordinary foods and meeting brilliant, fearless kids to experiment with it in front of a big audience.

"We never lecture them on what's good or bad, what's healthy or unhealthy, but instead we challenge ourselves to inspire them to find food fascinating, fun and... okay... just a little bit naughty. But it's the best way I can think of to help our kids become happier and healthier and to turn Britain back into a nation of real food-lovers."

±«Óãtv executive producer Bridget Banton says: "We hope to take the audience on a culinary journey up and down the UK and amaze them with incredible facts behind some of their favourite foods."

Paul Gilheany, executive producer for Objective Productions adds: "Stef has eaten everything from sheep's eyeballs to fresh cane rat in the past so we hope to add to his reputation as the man who will eat anything cooked anyway."

Incredible Edibles is made by Objective Productions, part of the All 3 Media Group. Executive producer for Objective is Paul Gilheany and executive producer for C±«Óãtv is Bridget Banton.
