Synopsis

The newest batch of celebrity recruits are trading scripts for spatulas as they enter culinary boot camp. Chefs Jeff Mauro and Tiffany Derry are ready to mold these stars into kitchen MVPs -- but first, they need to see what they're working with. In the baseline challenge, the celebs whip up red-carpet-worthy dishes to show off (or expose) their culinary chops. Then, in the main dish challenge, the chefs turn up the heat and teach their teams bold and spicy piri piri chicken. Some recruits rise to the occasion, while others fizzle out. The least successful celebs must face off in a blind elimination cook-off, and only one will survive to cook another day.
