There have been many variations of this show, but Iron Chef is the original classic. To turn this into a fun group activity you need kitchens enough for each group or couple. As a group decide on 1 to 3 secret ingredients you must use in your cooking creations. These can range from: lemons, almonds, brown sugar, pineapple, strawberries, bacon, chocolate, spinach. Go shopping in teams for the secret ingredients, and whatever other ingredients you may need. Separate to your separate kitchens and at a specific time meet back up to be judged. Find a non partial judge to declare the winner.
There can be several categories of winners, or several categories of judging the dishes:
- Most Creative Use of Secret Ingredient
- Best Display
- Most Delicious
