Chef a Domicilio
Chef at Home is a culinary competition, recorded simultaneously remotely and without the physical presence of professional film crews. Under the leadership of Chilean chef Chris Carpentier, this virtual challenge will have the famous participants demonstrate their talent and creativity to prepare the best dishes from their own homes. Each broadcast will feature three contestants (or couples) from Argentina, Colombia and Mexico, who will receive a basket with the same ingredients in their kitchens. Participating chefs and celebrities from each country must cook within a time limit to present original, creative and visually striking dishes. Additionally, as the competition progresses, participants must solve trivia and overcome some unexpected obstacles.
Episodes
Los chefs Josefina Santacruz, Donato de Santis y Alex Salgado tendrán que preparar el mejor plato con todos los ingredientes de la canasta que recibieron, que incluye hígado, fríjoles enlatados, tocineta y huevos. Nuestros chefs sienten la presión; cuando se cocina para la vista es diferente a cuando se cocina para el estómago, y todo se complica aún más cuando Chris Carpentier destapa el ingrediente sorpresa.
Chris Carpentier sends the surprise boxes to the homes of the Chefs: Ingrid Ramos, Nicolás de Zubiría and Leandro "Lele" Cristóbal, who will have to prepare a menu that consists of a starter and main course with the following ingredients: shrimp, asparagus, tomatoes, zukinis, chickpeas (precooked), potatoes and oranges. During preparation, the chefs face the trivia of the day that gives the winner an advantage. Chantal Abad, Gastronauta and Tulio, are prepared to rate the dishes.
Chefs Narda Lepes, Diego Sobrino and Rodrigo Pazos will only have 30 minutes to prepare a dish that must include all the ingredients from the basket they received, which in this chapter includes chicken with wings and turkey, as well as cheese and lots of vegetables. The chefs begin, but soon doubts arise as to whether they are on the right track or not, without knowing what the other participants are doing, and the pressure increases. To complicate the situation even more, they must answer a trivia question and whoever wins will be able to decide which of their rivals will have to incorporate the surprise ingredient into an already complicated recipe.
In this chapter we have three pastry chefs: Linda Cherem, Catalina Moroni and Mark Rausch. They will have to prepare their desserts with a combination of ingredients that will not be easy at all (dark chocolate, cocoa, cream cheese, mint and strawberries). At the end, the chefs send photos of their desserts and Chantal, Gastronauta and Tulio will decide which of the desserts looks the most provocative.
Stars or starry? Chris Carpentier will test Claudia Fontán, Ramiro Meneses and Jass Reyes, who describe themselves as "not so expert" in the kitchen. The food Bloggers are waiting because they don't know what to expect from these amateur cooks. They will have to prepare a main dish and a side dish with all the ingredients of the basket, which will not be easy to combine (chicken, beans and oat flakes). Although our chefs are celebrities used to living under public pressure, they will experience a much stronger tension, which will increase even more with the trivia of the day that will give you a advantage to whoever wins it.
Our participants are Tania Rincón, Geraldine Neuman and María José Martínez, celebrities with some experience in the kitchen. Their culinary skills will be put to the test when they have to prepare a dish that includes beef tenderloin, chicken livers, corn on the cob, broccoli, red pepper, potato, and Parmesan cheese. When the cooking and plating time is over, they send their photos and Chantal, Gastronauta and Tulio choose the most visually attractive dish.
Chris Carpentier will put three couples to the test, experts in making us laugh, but not equally experts in the kitchen: Mariana Echeverría and Oscar Favela, "La Gorda" Fabiola Posada and Nelson Polanía "Polilla", and Emilia Attias and "El Turco" Naim. They must prepare a main dish and a side dish with the ingredients from the basket: prawns, chicken breast, green peas, canned corn, prunes, noodles (soup paste), maple syrup and seasoning juice or Worcestershire sauce. The couples finish their dishes, plate them and send the photo to the bloggers, who vote to choose the best dish.
Ximena Sáenz, Luis Aranda and Carlos Gaviria participate in this chapter, in which they must cook a recipe with tofu, arugula, capers, Greek yogurt and other ingredients. While they cook they must answer the trivia of the day. Whoever wins the trivia will receive a surprise ingredient that will help them better present their dish. Food bloggers see the photos of the dishes and choose the best one. Today we will be supporting the feeding of families in vulnerable situations in Latin America, with a donation in the name of the chef who wins the program.
Three couples of cooking enthusiasts will show us their skills: Dalia Gutmann and Sebastián Wainraich, Guy Davidyan and Jenny Vargas and the newlyweds Mónica Escobedo and Ivan Juarez. They will have to prepare at least one main dish and one side dish, with a basket that includes salmon, Spanish chorizo, Brussels sprouts, apples, yellow paprika, couscous, avocado and oats. We realize that more than one person in The kitchen can cause a lot of problems! Plus, the trivia of the day is especially difficult. The winning couple of the trivia will receive a surprise that they can use in their favor or against another couple. In the end everyone sends their photos and Chantal, Tulio and Gastronauta give their verdict.
