Do you ever find yourself watching your favourite film or TV show, and wish that you could taste one of the dishes they’re enjoying?
Following on from the popular Fictional Foods competition ran by Wren Kitchens in February, The UK’s No.1 kitchen retailer has now teamed up with MasterChef 2020 Champion, Thomas Frake, to create gourmet fictional food recipes that you can make at home.
The recipes are inspired by:
- The Friend’s “Shepherd’s Pie” Trifle (don’t worry, there’s no actual beef and mash)
- The iconic Krabby Patty from SpongeBob SquarePants
- The chocolate cake made famous by Bruce Bogtrotter in Matilda
Get closer to the action of your favourite TV shows and films by making these three delicious recipes!

The Bruce Bogtrotter Matilda cake scene is arguably one of the best scenes in the British Movie collection. The cake looks so delicious but there’s so much of it – will he finish, or will be he be punished by the Trunchbull? Luckily, Thomas’ rendition of the classic cake is just as delicious, but you can eat it at your own pace, and as much or as little as you like!
