their flavor profile. Flay’s line was something like “if you don't know the characteristics of an ingredient, then you shouldn't be using it.” When one is cooking something on the fly to serve the food, I really...

Welcome to the Cool Whip/Redi Whip crowd and glad to have you. I thought i was flying solo for the last week. I was lucky to have flown around the world four times last year on business and tried many local flavors. In each case I...

Ted Allen’s blog is up at the Bravo site. http://www.bravotv.com/Top_Chef/season/4/blogs/index.php It looks like ALL of the judges thought it was Richard’s competition to lose. Said he saw him at the airport alone...

i doubt richard didn’t tweak the banana scallops— they did look different on the plate for RW. he did the original dish on the fly, & probably got a few more ideas about the presentation and flavor complements after...

all he really came up with was to scoop fruit with a melon baller.

Written recipes and cookbooks are not permitted and clearly stated in the contracts signed before flying out to LA. I am pretty sure your own ingredients were ruled out as well. I believe Elia referred to Marcel using agar and...

the only reason why I came on this board right now is become my Bravo channel completely BLACKED OUT at 11:10, right before I was about to find out who lost. Figured it would be Betty... the producers want to see sparks fly...
