A statement from HOME said: "The theme which is 'celebrating the last 100 years of British Broadcasting' really caught her imagination and allowed her to get very creative with her dishes. We are very excited to see how she gets on.
"The dishes will be appearing on the menu alongside many more dishes that we have been developing and we are holding a very special event where you get the chance to sample them."
Next month, a secret dining event will allow customers to taste the dishes from the show, as well as others that she has created following an inspiration trip to Scotland. The event, on February 23, will be a ten course menu with matching wines hosted by Elizabeth herself, and costs £110.
It's the latest in a number of exciting new ventures for the fine-dining restaurant, based at Leeds Dock, which is also opening for Friday lunch from March 6.
