Looking for more of a challenge?

Get ready for the ultimate test of culinary creativity and quick thinking! The Ingredient Roulette Cookoff challenges home cooks to transform the unexpected into the unforgettable. Two weeks before the event, each competitor receives a confidential list of four randomly assigned, mandatory ingredients.

On the day of the cookoff, the clock starts! Chefs have just 45 minutes to prepare, cook, and plate a show-stopping dish incorporating all four ingredients. The catch? Prep is allowed in advance—the strategic use of those two weeks is key. Will they come prepped for assembly, or rely on sheer, frantic talent? Taste, presentation, and mastery of the mystery ingredients will determine the champion!
