phynckeSweet Genius (2012)
Cooking show competition
Food Network
Summary:
Viewers are taken on a sugary journey as four of America's premier pastry chefs compete each week in three unique elimination challenges judged by Ben-Israel himself. Each round tests their ability to create magical and inventive desserts, while being given an inspiration, surprise ingredients, and a finite amount of time. The winners from each challenge advance to the final test, with the last chef standing receiving a $10,000 cash
I usually love food competition shows but I find this show annoying. I have not been all that impressed with the skills and creations of the competitors and I find Ben-Israel a little annoying. His critiques are interesting but his manner is well, off-putting. He needs to be a little more sympathetic.
I don't really like the structure of the show either and that they can be thrown a second "must use" ingredient while they are in the middle of their creation. I think they should be given all the ingredients at once so they can really plan their work - I think then, the quality of what they produce might be raised.
Anyways. Not impressed by this show and the final work has looked a little sloppy to me. Nothing that I would want to eat anyway. Guess that is good. I don't need to be eating dessert anyway. :P
Overall rating:
Fair
Recommend:
Not really, no.
