Worst Cooks in America

“Worst Cooks in America” is a reality competition series aired on the Food Network. The program features 12 to 16 participants who lack culinary expertise and guides them through an intensive eight-week cooking boot camp, with a grand prize of $25,000 at stake. Throughout the show, the contestants receive training in fundamental cooking techniques such as baking, knife handling, temperature control, seasoning, and food preparation. The ultimate test for the recruits is to prepare a three-course meal of restaurant quality, which is then evaluated by three food critics.
