Tiny Kitchen Cook Off Season 1 Episode 1 Whitney Cummings & Miranda Cosgrove make Tiny Spaghetti & Meatballs

In the premiere episode of Tiny Kitchen Cook Off, two celebrity guests, Whitney Cummings and Miranda Cosgrove, compete to make the best version of the classic dish, spaghetti and meatballs, in a tiny kitchen. The contestants are given a set amount of time to make their dish, using miniature cooking tools and appliances that are half the size of regular ones.

Whitney, a comedian and actress known for her appearances on television shows like Whitney and 2 Broke Girls, opts for a traditional approach, using ground beef and pork to make her meatballs. She mixes the meat with oats instead of breadcrumbs, and adds a hint of fennel and red pepper flakes for flavor. After browning the meatballs in a tiny skillet, she simmers them in a canned tomato sauce, adding fresh basil and grated parmesan cheese for extra deliciousness.

Miranda, a former child actress who starred in Nickelodeon's iCarly and the movie Despicable Me 3, takes a more unconventional route. She decides to make her meatballs out of turkey, and spices them with cumin, paprika, and chili powder. She also adds a finely chopped onion and garlic, and some breadcrumbs to the mixture. Miranda's sauce is a little more experimental too, featuring canned tomatoes, roasted red peppers, red wine, and her secret ingredient: a spoonful of grape jelly.

As the clock ticks down, Whitney and Miranda both face challenges in the tiny kitchen. Whitney struggles to fit all her ingredients onto her miniature cutting board, and has a tough time flipping her meatballs in the cramped space. Miranda, on the other hand, accidentally spills some of her wine into her sauce, causing a frantic scramble to soak it up with a paper towel.

Despite these setbacks, both contestants manage to plate up their dishes for the judges – a panel of culinary experts who taste and rate each dish based on presentation, taste, and creativity. Whitney's spaghetti and meatballs come out looking like a classic Italian dish, with tender meatballs and a generous serving of sauce. Miranda's dish, meanwhile, is a riot of colors, with the bright red sauce contrasting against the green of the grated zucchini she uses instead of pasta.

After much deliberation, the judges announce the winner of the first Tiny Kitchen Cook Off challenge. While both dishes were tasty, they decide to award the victory to Whitney and her traditional recipe. Miranda takes the loss in stride, congratulating her fellow contestant and joking that she'll have to work harder next time.

The first episode of Tiny Kitchen Cook Off sets the stage for an entertaining and high-stakes cooking competition, as celebrities and amateur cooks alike battle it out in miniature kitchens. Whether you're a foodie or just looking for something fun and lighthearted to watch, this show is sure to entertain.
