Britain's Youngest Head Chef

Documentary following seven months in the life of young head chef Luke Thomas as he reaches for cookery's ultimate prize, a Michelin star, backed by hotelier Mark Fuller.

At the tender age of 18, Luke Thomas is already Britain's youngest head chef, with an eponymous restaurant in a boutique hotel in the foodie home county of Royal Berkshire. He's got a taste for success and now he's reaching even higher - for cooking's ultimate prize, a coveted Michelin star.

Backing Luke is self-styled rock & roll hotelier Mark Fuller, who is keen to cash in on the PR power of the teen sensation. He has set Luke up in the restaurant and hand-picked a team of experienced staff to help. But for Mark the bottom line is making money, not wining prizes.

This documentary follows Luke on his first seven months as a baby boss to see if he he can make it in a man's world and catch his star.
