Culinary Quiz: How Well Would You Fare at Worst Cooks Boot Camp? by Maria Russo in Shows, February 16th, 2013
In this all-new fourth season of Worst Cooks in America, 14 culinary recruits are in for the kitchen Boot Camp of their lives, as Chefs Anne Burrell and Bobby Flay work to transform them into capable, confident cooks who can turn out winning meals with ease. But before one can be crowned the best of the worst of the kitchen, they’ll have to endure seven weeks of hands-on training covering even the most elementary culinary know-how.
For many watching the competition unfold at home, it’s easy to think that you’d fare far better than the recruits if tested with the same challenges of Boot Camp. But would you really succeed where others have fallen? FN Dish is giving you the opportunity to assess your critical culinary thinking and the extent of your cooking chops. Take the quiz below to find out how well you’d manage in the kitchen with Chefs Anne and Bobby, then watch this exclusive video to see how the Worst Cooks recruits answered when they were asked quiz questions.

10/10 on the quiz. I watch a lot of Food Network! :-) For those complaining about the "rudeness" of Anne and Bobby – remember that the "recruits" are in " boot camp"! It's part of the personality of the show. When have you ever heard of a nice drill sergeant?
It is really easy to act like a bad cook then get better with each show to win. I am an excellent cook but do have an occasional Bad day.
LOL my friends tell me i should audition and try to cook bad which if i try i am sure i could LOL then progress slowly and hit a slam dunk when it counts cause i can cook !
I have watched this show from the very first episode/season. I wish I could figure out if these people are REALLY the worst cooks in America, or if they PRETEND to be to get on the show. The money could make people be the "big pretender". I would hate to think that these people really have "some skills" and are making us all watch for the ratings.
I want to think the best, and hope that these people have actually learned something and get a great prize in the end. Not JUST the money, but the experience. People like Bobby Flay and Anne Burrell should not be wasting their time otherwise.
I don't know about the others but my aunt, Carla, is the worst cook. We never ask her to bring a dish. I hope that helps. : )
I scored a 83%, which is not bad. I am tired of hearing that woman is in love with Bobby Flay. Please, I can see that she wants to get into Bobby's pants so bad. I wonder how her husband feels now.
yeaaa! I got a 100%!!!! I am a pretty good cook!
How do you get a 58% or a 67% when there are 10 questions? If you get 1 right it would be 10%, 2 would be 20% and so on, come on people!
If you get an answer wrong, and pick the right answer the 2nd time, you get partial credit, which will make your score almost anything.
You can return for partial credit
When I answered a question incorrectly, I took a second chance. That was right. I got a 97%. My husband however would not take the test at all. He's the one who needs to be on the show. After suffering from a heart attack with complications, my husband can no longer work. I can't tell you how wonderful it would be to come home from work and find dinner on the table. I think it would give me a heart attack.
Hello! Lets all enjoy the entertainment value…does anyone actually believe that people choose to cook with "delicious" dogfood…reality tv is not REAL! (but can be fun!)
Ha! I only got 2 wrong. These cooks are so bad, it's hilarious! And no, I highly doubt they are actors.
I am 14 and I only got 2 wrong. I feel smart LOL.
my score was 70% and im only 17 and barely know how to cook, -.- have people not watched theyre folks in the kitchen how they cook? it's called paying attention! if your stumped just simply write down what you did and ask whomever is the best cook in the family
its called partial-credit smarta**
nevermind wrong person
Andrea; You should have paid attention to your spelling teacher! Theyre should be their and your should be you're. Now, with better knowledge you should be able to score 100% Woohoo!! Able in TN
Incorrect, read my other post.
Although your mention of your vs. you are (contracted you're) is very astute.
Their is not the same as they're (they are, emphasis on the ') A possessive pronoun is different from a contradiction. If you choose to ask people to pay attention, it's best to do so yourself. You may know how to cook at 17 but you certainly can't pay enough attention to learn proper grammar. Apparently you stopped paying attention in grammar school, which ends around 12 years old.
I was disappointed to learn that at least one of your contestants from Worst Cooks, Alex, has previously been a cast member of another reality show, in Alex's case, ABC's The Glass House. To add to my disappointment, he "played" the villain on that show, hamming it up and causing as much drama and low brow entertainment as possible. I cant help but believe that the producers at the Food Network recognized Alex as a potential push button drama source and hired him on as just that. I'm wondering how many of the other cast members are actually paid reality tv actors, etc. It appears to me that Worst Cooks is not a competition based reality show at all but more of a casted and scripted drama presented in a reality show format. As a result, I'm genuinely questioning the credibility of the Food Network both in terms of it's competition shows, etc. but also as a instructional reference for cooking. I can now guarantee I'll check epicurious.com before I look at foodnetwork.com.
