Cookalong Live USa will be aired on C4 Feb 5 at 9pm and contains no swearing – not because it is edited out, because Gordon Ramsay didn’t use the word during this hour-long live cooking special!
As previously reported the show features LeAnn Rimes, Alyson Hannigan, Cedric The Entertainer and Whoopi Goldberg and instead of the F Word, Gordon’s favourite word is ‘amazing’!
Enjoy if you haven’t ‘come across’ the footage already!

As we predicted, the deadline to apply to be a part of Gordon Ramsay’s Cookalong Live in the USA has been extended (again) to November 30. I, like many others, thought that the few days notice to fill out the application form, get a respectable mug-shot, sign the waiver (and get your guests to do the same) as well as make and submit a video was a little ambitious! Now it seems the powers that be, agree.
At least now you have a weekend to work on your Cannes award-winning application and your glamour photography session. Check out our initial Cookalong Live USA post for all of the details, they are still all current (except for the date!).
Gordon Ramsay has put together an appealing yet challenging menu for would be chefs America-wide to cook along with him live on December 15. The idea for the Fox television show is based on the popular UK version, with a goal of getting more people to prepare food at home.
All of the dishes on this menu are designed to serve four people and will be Angel Hair Pasta with Shrimp, Chili Peppers and Tomatoes for appertiser, a main course of Steak Diane with Sautéed Potatoes and Peas finished with Quick Tiramisu for dessert.

As we reported here in February of this year, Fox has now confirmed that as well as ordering another Hell’s Kitchen series, that the popular Cookalong Live concept from the UK will be appearing on US television at the end of 2009. The eighth season of Hell’s Kitchen was reported by some media outlets as the seventh season, but Season seven, which was actually shot immediately following the current airing season 6 in January of this year.
The announcement was made at a unique press conference in Los Angeles where reporters where asked to prepare a meringue and a topping for a Baked Alaska, with the winner being offered a table Hell’s Kitchen (is this really a prize worth winning, epsecially if it was for early in the season?!). The prize was won by a reporter from St Louis today – here’s the link to there story.
According to reports, the show will air at 9pm ET Tuesday night December 15 and will involve preparing a three course meal live virtually alongside the great Chef. As per the UK format, most of the preparation will be done ahead of time, with instructional videos ensuring that you are up to speed by the time the show hits the airwaves! The show will actually be shown in others areas on delay 9pm there time!
Of course, the question of swearing came up in the cooking audition come press conference and Gordon Ramsay was reported to have replied that “Of course, I’m going to try not to swear … I do have good days!” “I’ll be cooking live on a domestic front … I promise not to swear.” Good luck on that one !
Here’s a taste of what is to come for US audiences – from last season of Cookalong Live UK – a seven part series!
Counting down!
