Legal Assistant to Compete for Master Chef Title

By Lynne DeVenny

ADVERTISEMENTS

50 amateur home cooks, including one legal assistant, will compete to become the next legendary culinary master on MasterChef, a new Fox reality series, which starts Tuesday. The winner will also have her own cookbook published and receive a $250,000 cash prize.

According to the show's website:

MASTERCHEF contestants will be put through their paces in a series of challenges designed to test their palate, food knowledge, passion and culinary skills both inside and outside the kitchen. As they're whittled down, they'll face increasing pressure, from being asked to slice and dice a truckload of onions to creating incredible gourmet dishes from boxes full of random ingredients to providing an all-American send-off meal for hundreds of U.S. Marines to catering a high-end wedding.

I bet California legal assistant Adeliz Garcia will be right at home in this high pressure environment - with Chef Gordon Ramsay, one of the world's most demanding taskmasters. The photo is of Garcia with Ramsay as he gives her a few words of advice after sampling her audition recipe. She loves to cook her signature dish, Trio of Tostones with Red Wine, Balsamic Reduction and Sundried Tomato Cream Sauce. What are tostones? They are twice-fried green plaintain chips, a favorite snack and side dish in Puerto Rico, Cuba and the Dominican Republic.

Practical Paralegalism wishes Garcia the best of success in the competition - even if she is trying to change careers.
