Rocco's Dinner Party - Season 1

The chefs must create a prohibition-era supper club, complete with reminiscent food and décor to impress special guest, chef, and restaurateur Marcus Samuelsson.

With $20,000 at stake, the chefs must design their meal around the secret guest's passions: a star in the culinary community with a taste for travel, a love of spices and a preference for the unfussy.

The chefs face the challenge of turning friends into family with a traditional Italian family-style dinner. Guests include `The Real Housewives of New Jersey's Caroline and Albert Manzo.

To take home the $20,000, Rocco's chefs must cook their version of recipes from Rocco's guilt-free bestseller, `Now Eat This! Diet' but with all the flavour of higher-calorie fare.

The chefs must transform Rocco's dining rooms and create a phenomenal menu worthy of the $20,000 prize. Guests include acclaimed chef of Picholine and Artisanal, Terrance Brennan.

The chefs are asked to put their spin on classic Julia Child dishes and decorate one of three dining rooms in their bid to win $20,000. Guests include Julie Powell, author of `Julie & Julia', comedian Michael Ian Black, and actress S Epatha Merkeson.

Rocco's chefs must elevate British pub food without the stuffy air of fine dining. Even more challenging will be to convince British television host Cat Deeley that she's not far from home.

Rocco challenges the chefs to become trend-setters, while fashion designer Nicole Miller shows up to surprise the chefs with an additional twist.

Rocco honours the 10-year wedding anniversary of `The Daily Show's Jason Jones and Samantha Bee. The food and decor have to work together to inspire an atmosphere of festive romance, while honouring the spirit of this comedic couple.

There's $20,000 at stake, as well as serious bragging rights, as the chefs compete to craft a fete worthy of Liza Minnelli, with actress and comedienne Sandra Bernhard.
