Anne Burrell and Rachael Ray have six weeks to transform seven pampered celebrities into kitchen stars.

Celebrity recruits compete in a blindfold taste and identify challenge; an elimination challenge containing the worst takeout dishes.

The remaining celebrity recruits start the week by testing their food knowledge and then use their newfound food knowledge to make a signature celebrity sandwich.

The final two recruits are led to a professional kitchen for their final challenge, cooking a three-course menu for a panel of culinary experts.

The remaining celebrity recruits work as a team to fill in the blanks in a series of incomplete recipes; the recruits are tasked with making fresh pasta with seafood.

The final three recruits learn about entertaining, showcasing how to make chips, salsa and guacamole from scratch; the celebs are challenged to make several tapas to be served simultaneously.
