cooking show

I watched iron chef this week which is a show i really love. Bobby Flay faced off against another chef, and the secret ingredient was canadian lobster. Throughout the competition they narrate what ingredients are being used, how they are going to use them and then they usually guess what type of food they are making. The contestants have to cook and plate 5 dishes within an hour. A big problem with the time component is making sure everything gets plated on time. The chef's scores are based on creativity, appearance and flavor. I learned from this show that it is important to be able to be quick thinking when making food, especially if you don't have certain ingredients near by. Improvization isn't always a bad thing and food can be made to taste better if you have a good idea of what tastes mix well together.
