Beautiful Cooking (Traditional Chinese: 美女廚房, literally: Beautiful Girl's Kitchen) is a Hong Kong variety show broadcast on TVB. The show began broadcasting on May 28, 2006 hosted by Ronald Cheng, Alex Fong and Edmond Leung. The second season began broadcast from April 5, 2009.[1]

Format

The game participants include 3 female Hong Kong celebrities. Usually the girls are invited for their beauty or celebrity status. The girls are given an apron to wear on top of the clothes they come in.

Competition 1

For the first competition, a master chef will cook a more complicated dish and then explain the recipe and cooking procedure. The female celebrities are then requested to match the chef's dish by trying to imitate the cooking and recipe.

Competition 2

In competition 2, the three contestants are presented with a live seafood. Their tasks are to butcher, clean, and prepare the seafood all by themselves.

Points

When the dishes are finished, the hosts, guest judges and the guest chef gets to sample the dishes and on a scale of -10 to 10, they give out a score. Selected members of the audience also get a chance to try the dishes and make additional comments. Winners are announced at the end of the show.
