This is a proposal for a seeming typical cooking show (where a chef cooks a nice dish in 30 minutes) -- but in each episode something goes horribly wrong and the point of this show is to show you - the viewer - how you can still salvage some good food even after a disaster strikes.
Even if you don't
"learn" anything from watching this program, it's bound to be entertaining. Everything seems to be going very well and professionally, and you don't know *when* something will go wrong or what it will be. But all of a sudden the chef discovers he/she is all out of a particular ingredient -- or the oven has been broken and set for the wrong temperature all along, or the chef fell asleep and now whatever food it is has been soaking way too much. Or a prankster has loosened the top of the salt shaker and causes a ton of salt to drop into the stew. Or part of the recipe is obliterated and the chef must figure out the missing ingredient...
What will the Master Of Disaster do to save the meal and present it to the company that's coming over in just one hour? Will he/she add potatoes to the stew to soak up the extra salt? Cut off the burnt parts of the roast and reassemble the good parts into a completely different dish? Substitute ginger for nutmeg and add a delicious Chinese flair to her eggnog? Dilute the error by cooking a second portion and mixing the two together? Cover the taste of the whole thing by adding chilli sauce?
We'll take viewer suggestions for disasters they'd like advice on as well.

I don't know much about this, but I assume it's pretty close to what phundug describes. [jutta, Dec 03 2007]

Once, I drained some pasta over the sink and had the misfortune to drop most of it into the washing up. I just rinsed it with boiling water and no-one was any the wiser. |

wow, it's baked (or was it supposed to be boiled but they made a mistake)... I guess I'll delete mine soon. |

Iron Chef demolition derby? *sizzle*, *clang*, *splosh*, "yeowwch!", *chop-chop*... "Hmm.. very interesting use of ginger, but not so well dubbed - what do you think, simperingflirty actress?" "Mmm.. oishii desu yo!" etc. ? |

Another possible title is "Recipe For Disaster" |
