    #1 - Lights, Camera, Boot Camp

    S30:E1

    The newest batch of celebrity recruits are trading scripts for spatulas as they enter culinary boot camp. Chefs Jeff Mauro and Tiffany Derry are ready to mold these stars into kitchen MVPs -- but first, they need to see what they're working with. In the baseline challenge, the celebs whip up red-carpet-worthy dishes to show off (or expose) their culinary chops. Then, in the main dish challenge, the chefs turn up the heat and teach their teams bold and spicy piri piri chicken. Some recruits rise to the occasion, while others fizzle out. The least successful celebs must face off in a blind elimination cook-off, and only one will survive to cook another day.

For the skill drill challenge, the celebs must nail a classic combo: soup and a sandwich. Later, the spotlight shifts to the main dish challenge, where chefs Jeff Mauro and Tiffany Derry roll out a show-stopping pairing: eggplant parmesan and handmade pasta. The stars with the best performances move on, but the bottom two must battle it out in a blind elimination cook-off featuring a sweet and savory appetizer.
