After sweeping season 2 of OFTV’s “This Is Fire” hosted by Grandmaster Chef Jojo, Emma Magnolia was ready to compete in the final round against Nathan Webb.
Emma revealed that she stayed up late the night before studying recipes, while Nathan spent time online to brush up on different types of recipes. Chef Jojo reveals the final dish will be lamb and the contestants must also include beets and ricotta cheese in their recipe. Emma and Nathan have 30 minutes to create their dishes.
Emma begins by starting to cook her beets and Chef Jojo compliments Emma for throwing some fat in with her beets while they cook to add flavor. Emma cracks some jokes about Nathan copying what she is doing. Emma’s goal is to have a beautiful crust on the lamb.
While Emma was happy with her final dish, she wishes she had more experience with lamb. Her dish was seared lamb chops with a raspberry and mint puree, and beets sliced thin and stacked with basil lemon ricotta.
If she wins, Emma said she will use the $20,000 to travel, while Nathan plans on giving his daughter, who lives in Texas, a White Christmas so she can see snow. To find out who wins, please watch the finale at OFTV.
