a cooking and guessing game

At the beginning of each episode, someone will choose a genre and specific title for example movie -'To Kill a Mockingbird', 'Passion of the Christ' etc

A small bell is rung several times to indicate that the chef must begin.

Within a set time limit - the chef must prepare a dish in such a way that audience members or celebrity buffoons must try and guess what film, book, song etc he or she is trying to express.

I think this would be fun to watch as chefs frantically attempt to prepare desserts in the vein of Proust, David Lynch, Mel Gibson etc.

Another bell could be rung several times to indicate the segment has finished, but a 'gong' sound may also work depending on what is available.

You may also play this at home with friends or care workers.

So "Titanic" could be a damaged gravy boat?

I shudder to think what "Se7en" would be as a dish. Maybe Haggis.
