Description
Get into the kitchen and out of the box
The Box is an exciting and unpredictable cookery show in which amateur cooks face the ultimate culinary challenge – to impress a top professional chef and his celebrity guest by creating fantastic dishes from previously unseen and totally unexpected ingredients. The ingredients are selected by the professional chef, carefully chosen to get the contestants thinking on their feet and out of the box in a true test of culinary invention.
In the first round, the contestants are free to use as many or as few of the items in the box as they wish, along with any items from a basic, well-stocked kitchen cupboard. Once the clock stops, the chef tastes the dishes and declares a winner. Coming first is crucial because the round one winner gets to choose their box in round two.
In the second challenge, the Host selects the ingredients of three new mystery boxes such as The Basic Box, The Chocolate Box and The Meat Box. The first round winner chooses which box to keep for themselves, and which box the others will cook with, strategically trying to stitch up their rivals. An hour later comes the big reveal. The chef and the celebrity guest taste the dishes, and the chef decides who is Cook of the Day.
