Season 4 Episode 4 | 30s

In week four of the competition, the six remaining home cooks must step outside their comfort zones in two rounds of cooking. In the first round, a brand new challenge tasks each home cook to prepare one of the judges’ recipes. In the second round, the home cooks swap recipes with each other and try to put their own personal spin on a fellow home cook’s dish.

Funding for THE GREAT AMERICAN RECIPE is provided by VPM and the Corporation for Public Broadcasting (CPB).
