Worst Cooks in America Season 5 Full Episode Guide
It's Bobby Fray's last recruit versus Anne Burrell's last recruit to determine the ultimate winner of Worst Cooks in America. Finalists cook a three-course meal in a professional restaurant kitchen for a panel of culinary experts.
The final four recruits cook for their loved ones during a blind-tasting challenge to determine who will compete in the final.
The recruits face two challenges in one day, beginning with making breakfast for Bobby and Anne.
The recruits may have mastered putting out one plate of food but they are still a far cry from being able to cook for their families. Anne Burrell's and Bobby Flay's challenges this week teach them how to cook quantity.
It's time to learn how to build flavors. From a sweet skill drill making doughnuts to a savory main dish challenge making roulades, the recruits are asked to experiment for the first time and create their own take dishes.
Since Chefs Bobby and Anne are starting from scratch with these bad cooks, the lessons for the week involve learning to cook from scratch -- including an "udder-ly" hands-on experience sourcing milk for homemade cheese.
Coming off her first loss in four seasons, to Bobby Flay, Anne Burrell is out for revenge. In a rematch, they scour the country for the 14 worst cooks in America, pick teams and gives the recruits their first cooking lesson.
