Douglas teaches a camper to string up the porchetta.
Porchetta, breakfast of champions.
"Do you need help?" Leslie Kelly, of the Al Dente blog, asked Douglas during a break. She soon found herself stuffing rabbit and bantering with the chef onstage. Kelly is well-practiced in Douglas-style double-entendre banter: she worked for in one of his kitchens for a spell as part of her research for a book project.
When I went over to Palace Kitchen to check out the veggie-dish competition, the intensely competing campers were at the plating stage. The purple team placed their fate in the hands of some tasty-looking asparagus.
This is what that dish looked like in the end. Very beautiful.
Contestants picked veggies from the selection on this shelf.
The yellow team is not messing around.
The blue team is not messing around either.
