Anne Burrell and Tyler Florence return to whip a fresh crop of
bumbling cooks into culinary shape in a new season of Worst
Cooks in America, premiering Sunday,

that transforms kitchen disasters into skilled cooks, Anne and
Tyler each lead a team of cooking-challenged recruits in an intense

"Kicking off the year with a new roster of Worst Cooks
has become a Food Network tradition," said Courtney White, Senior Vice President,
Programming, Scripps Networks Interactive. "Watching Anne and Tyler
turn these kitchen misfits into confident cooks is a fun ride from
start to finish."
The competitors are: Brandon
Arroyo (Cleveland, Ohio);
Steven Crowley (New York, New York); Kayrene Curtis (Rocky
River, Ohio); Jonathan Farhat
(Livermore, California);
Lily Frey (Anaheim Hills, California): Asaf Goren (Los
Angeles, California); Robyn
Hayden (Charleston, South
Carolina); Sylvia Jefferies
(Charleston, South Carolina);
Hazell Mckenzie (Brooklyn, New York); Priscilla Nguyen (Hattiesburg, Mississippi); Skyler and Spencer Nick (Wauconda, Illinois); Kevin Pettice (Charlotte, North Carolina); Shatima Ruffin (Yorktown, Virginia); Sharon Shvarzman (Staten Island, New York) and Lacey Stout (Owasso,
Oklahoma).
In the season premiere, sixteen of the country's worst cooks
enter boot camp with dreams of putting their kitchen nightmares
behind them. Anne and Tyler need to see what they're dealing
with, so they have the recruits make their signature dishes – and
the results are worse than they could have imagined. For the
first main dish challenge, the chefs teach the recruits how to make
breakfast, the most important meal of the day. Then Anne and
Tyler pick teams, and the two recruits with the least successful
breakfast dishes are sent home. Upcoming episodes feature a
fun fish market challenge, a round of food trivia game "Family
Food," a sweet Valentine's Day
challenge and the return of "Remote Control Chef." The season
culminates on Sunday, March
11th at 9pm with
the two most-improved recruits preparing a three-course, restaurant
quality meal for judges Jordan
Andino, Michael Chernow and
Paulette Goto – and the creator of
the best dish wins $25,000 and
victory for their mentor.
