Worst Cooks in America
On Food Network
A lighthearted, encouraging competition where struggling amateur cooks learn basic culinary skills over eight weeks, built on humor and human warmth rather than cutthroat stakes.
12 to 16 contestants with poor cooking skills are taken through an eight-week culinary boot camp, to earn a cash prize of $25,000. The recruits are trained on the various basic cooking techniques including: baking, knife skills, temperature, seasoning and preparation. The final challenge is to cook a restaurant quality three-course meal for three food critics.
