Take Home Chef

Interestingly, unlike many other shows, the Take Home Chef has a hint of a romantic side to it which makes it all the more popular with many people. The chef visits a grocery store, where as a stranger, he introduces himself to a good-looking woman who takes him home (the title of the show is perhaps named after this step of the show) and allows him to prepare dinner. The running time of the show is half an hour including the time allotted for commercials. With the charismatic Curtis Stone, who convinces the pretty woman in taking him to her home for cooking some simply amazing Take Home Chef recipes, the show has attained high entertainment value.

 


The essence of the Take Home Chef is to observe the cooking routine of people in general and offer them techniques and concepts on how to make their daily menus more interesting. The series has some good mouthwatering Take Home Chef recipes like Apple Tarte Tatin, French Onion Soup, Creamy Polenta with chives, Chocolate Cheesecake and Pan Fried Mahi Mahi with Chocolate Veloute.
