A teenager who did not know her teaspoon from her tablespoon cooked a wedding anniversary treat for her grandparents with the help of TV show.

Amie Whitaker, 17, was paired with Masterchef winner and actress Lisa Faulkner in Kitchen Superheroes on the Food Network channel.

Her mum Myra, of Great Notley, said: "She can't cook and really wanted to do a nice meal for her nan and granddad for their diamond wedding anniversary.

"Her nana has always made her birthday cakes so she really wanted to give something back to them."

The show was aired yesterday.
