“Hi Tiffi, I decided that I would like to enter the cooking competition with you,” Kimmy says. “I just completed the application so now we have to wait until we get a response back. I started looking online for more details of what this competition is all about. I found this one article that offers 5 Tips for Getting on a Competition Cooking Television Show.”

‘Be Yourself, But Better - While you don’t want to be phony or false, you do want to be entertaining and original. An audition tape is essential for the process, and thousands of hopefuls are sending in those tapes. Do something different in your audition. They want to see some personality as well as some skill in the recorded audition. Try to impress them with your originality. Think about what sets you apart from other chefs and include that in your video audition.

Watch Multiple Episodes of the Show - It’s never a good idea to audition for a reality competition cooking show without some idea of the format, the judges and the challenges. When you watch every episode a few times, you’ll know what’s expected of the contestants as far as cooking and personality.

Practice, Practice, Practice - You should be able to dice carrots in your sleep, or know how to bone a fish. Have your friends bring over ingredients that don’t normally get cooked together. This will help you prepare for your debut on television in front of the judges.

Learn New Skills - Anyone who has ever watched a cooking competition will see a chef complain that they don’t know how to bake, or that their pastry skills are lacking. It happens in every single show at some point. You don’t want to be that chef, so learn the skills that you’re lacking in the kitchen. If you’ve never worked with an ingredient that seems to be thrown at every contestant, brush up on your knowledge.

The Audition Food - Before you ever cook for the judges of the competition show, you’ll present food to producers and staff members who will narrow down the competition. For this part of the process, you’ll want to bring all your own utensils as well as everything you’ll need to prepare your meal. You’ll also need to think about the dish you’ll prepare. The food could sit for hours before it’s served to the panel. Keep this in mind when choosing the meal you’ll create. It should be tasty at room temperature.

It’s important that you really understand yourself and your cooking style too. It’ll be tested consistently throughout the process.’ (Info here)
