The show has tentatively been titled Celebrity Family Cook Off in which famous families will go up against each other in several cooking challenges for charity.
The synopsis reads: "In each episode, a food-loving celebrity and a family member face off against another celebrity family duo in a two-round battle, dinner followed by dessert.
