Ep 6. Eat Your Heart Out

In Worst Cooks in America season 20 episode 6, titled "Eat Your Heart Out," the remaining recruits are faced with a Valentine's Day-themed challenge. The recruits will need to channel their inner Cupid and prepare a romantic meal for their loved ones. But before they can do that, they first need to learn how to create a savory dish and a sweet dessert using heart-shaped molds.

Chef Anne Burrell and Chef Alex Guarnaschelli are on hand to guide the recruits through the challenge, but as always, there will be twists and turns. The chefs will blindfold the recruits and have them taste various ingredients to test their palates. This will be a test of both their culinary skills and their ability to trust their instincts.

Next, the recruits will learn how to make a heart-shaped pasta from scratch. The chefs will demonstrate the proper techniques, but it will be up to the recruits to execute each step correctly. They'll need to knead the dough, roll it out into thin sheets, and carefully cut out the heart shapes. This will be a challenge for some of the recruits who have struggled with basic cooking techniques in the past.

Once the pasta is made, the recruits will then need to create a romantic sauce to go with it. Chef Anne and Chef Alex will provide a variety of ingredients, but it will be up to the recruits to decide what flavors to combine. They'll need to demonstrate their knowledge of seasoning and flavor profiles to create a sauce that perfectly complements the heart-shaped pasta.

For dessert, the recruits will need to create heart-shaped cakes. Chef Anne and Chef Alex will demonstrate how to properly measure and mix the ingredients to create a tender, moist cake. They'll also show the recruits how to make a delicious frosting to go on top. The recruits will need to pay close attention to the chefs' instructions, as even small mistakes can ruin the entire cake.

As the challenge progresses, some recruits will excel while others will struggle. The pressure of cooking for a loved one will weigh heavily on some of the recruits, leading to mistakes and missteps. Chef Anne and Chef Alex will offer guidance and support, but ultimately, it will be up to the recruits to create a meal that their loved ones will enjoy.

At the end of the challenge, Chef Anne and Chef Alex will taste each dish and determine which recruits are safe and which will face elimination. The stakes are high, as the remaining recruits get one step closer to the grand prize of $25,000.

Overall, Worst Cooks in America season 20 episode 6 is a heartwarming and challenging episode that will test the recruits' culinary skills and emotional fortitude. Fans of the show will enjoy watching the recruits rise to the occasion and impress Chef Anne and Chef Alex with their romantic creations.
