Across the nation the call has gone out. Home cooks, send us your best recipes. Something that represents who you are.
Something that represents where you come from. Something special. Unique. And of course, delicious.

Regional competitions will decide who from this group of hundreds will make the first cut.
Some of these kitchen creators will find out their creations are not as great as they thought. And back to their homes they will go.

Before the competition heats up we will meet these ladies, up close and personal. Where do they come from? Who do their share their meals with?
What is the source of their inspiration?

Deciding how good it is not the people who usually judge your cooking. Instead you are cooking for the best of the best professional chefs.
And they are not going to treat you any differently than they would treat their fellow masters.
If the dish doesn't make the grade your stay at the kitchen will be over.

They'll be cooking in a state-of-the-art kitchen studio. But with the world watching, it's a lot more pressure to cook.
Especially with the title and the chance to have your recipes published at stake.

Everyone loves great food. Everyone loves to watch a great battle. And everyone loves to root for the everyday person to finally get the recognition they deserve.

Plus for the home cooks watching in their living rooms it's a chance to dream that one day they could be named The Queen of Recipes.
