Rachael Ray: Rachael's Daytime Talkshow

Ready, Set, Bake!

About five nights a week, Jessica and Andy make Rachael's recipes. This husband and wife enjoy cooking together, but there's a little competition brewing. And there's only one way to find out who's the better cook -- an old-fashioned cookoff!

The Challenge

The contestants will each prepare a version of Rachael's Mexican Lasagna. Each has got their own special tricks up their sleeve: Jessica's recipe appeals to the healthier side by using turkey meat and whole wheat tortillas. Andy's variation throws caution to the wind with sour cream, ground beef and his secret ingredient, avocado. Both sound delicious, but who will emerge victorious?

The Judges

Rachael assigns the important task of judging the competition to Olivia and Isabella Gerasole, the youngest winners of James Beard Foundation Award, whose Website Spatulatta.com won the 2006 award for Best Webcast. The girls try both creations and judge them on presentation, flavor and overall deliciousness (the "yum-o" factor).

And the winner is...

Jessica! The girls choose her recipe, though the spoils are sure to go to both the victor and her husband - a brand new set of Rachael's pots and pans!
