Cutthroat Kitchen is Craig and my favorite show on Food Network. It is one of our Sunday night staples. Last night was the first time a vegan chef won on Food Network's show Cutthroat Kitchen. In fact, it's the first time we ever saw a vegan chef on the show.
Cutthroat Kitchen is different from most Food Network cooking competition shows, where 4 contestants cook their version of a chosen dish and are judged by celebrity judges. The twist in this competition is that sabotaging your opponent isn't only encouraged, but is for sale. Contestants can purchase sabotages to hinder and at times destroy their competition. Love it!
On last night's show, Chef Kristina, the Vegan Temptress, showed her vegan cooking chops with plant-based versions of corn chowder, gyros, and ginger snap cookies. I thought she was done when she had to use pickled sushi ginger as her only form of ginger in her cookies (one of the many sabotages doled out her). She came through like a champ and used her cunning culinary knowledge by pouring coconut milk over the ginger to soak up the pickled flavor and concealing the overbearing taste. Great job!
Congrats to the Vegan Temptress and thank you for making a good name for vegan food.
Good luck - hope to hear of your vegan restaurant opening soon.
