If anyone can cook 11 meals in ONE HOUR without knowing the ingredients beforehand, it’s chef Richard Blais.

And that, he did!

When he stopped by our show, he took the contents of one viewer’s pantry and whipped up ELEVEN dishes (impressive ones, at that!) throughout the course of the show.

We’re talking Mac n’ Ham n’ Cheese, Chicken Satay and Cacio e Pepe -- to name a few!
