Programs such as My Kitchen Rules and Masterchef often push their contestants to cook under extreme conditions. Cook underwater? No problem. Create a dish with stale bread and an egg? Voila, panko crumbed onsen egg! Cook with no modern kitchen appliances? BBQ, here I come!
There are so many other potential extreme environments that they can dump the contestants into. They could even morph two shows into one to capture more audience. For example, they could have the contestants run and bike for 10 km, swim 10 laps then cook three courses with quinoa as the main ingredient. Ironman & Ironchef, who will reign supreme?!
I must say that time limits, making do with what is in the kitchen and cooking for specific ocassions are really exciting for me. Tonight, I had to unexpectedly cook 4 dishes for dinner in 30 minutes as a guest had to leave early. And the reason for the early retirement? To catch a tv program.
