Ep 3. Celebrity: Starting From Scratch

In the third episode of the eleventh season of Worst Cooks in America, the remaining celebrity recruits are put to the test in a unique challenge designed to test their skills in the kitchen. Chef Anne Burrell and Chef Tyler Florence instruct the recruits as they attempt to create a dish entirely from scratch using only basic ingredients.

The challenge begins with a quiz designed to test the recruits' knowledge of common kitchen ingredients and techniques. The contestants are then given a set of key ingredients and are tasked with creating their own unique dish using only these ingredients, along with any other basic staples they can find in the pantry.

As the contestants work to create their dishes, they face a number of obstacles and roadblocks along the way. Some struggle to come up with ideas for their dishes, while others struggle with basic cooking techniques like chopping and sautéing.

In the end, Chef Anne and Chef Tyler taste each of the contestants' dishes and provide feedback on what they did well and where they could improve. At the end of the challenge, one contestant is named the winner, earning immunity from elimination in the next round.

Following the challenge, the contestants are then split into two teams for a classic relay race challenge. Each team is tasked with preparing a three-course meal for a panel of judges, with each contestant responsible for a different course.

As the contestants work to prepare their dishes, tensions run high as they attempt to work together and avoid making mistakes. In the end, the judges taste each of the dishes and determine which team prepared the better meal.

In the final moments of the episode, Chef Anne and Chef Tyler reveal the losing team and announce which contestant will be going home. With only a few episodes remaining, the pressure is on for the remaining celebrities to step up their game and prove that they have what it takes to become the best cook in America.
