The Take Home Chef is a handsome Aussie (lots of flirting ensues) with a gift for cooking fabulous meals for women and their significant others. In each show, he approaches a woman at a grocery store and returns home with her to cook dinner. The food is yummy, and the couple (or family) always enjoys it. Take Home Chef is a fun, but not fabulous, show.

What Parents Need to Know
About Take Home Chef
Parents need to know that in each episode, a chef walks up to a "random" shopper in a grocery store and offers to take care of the cooking that night. They then agree on a menu, gather the ingredients, and return to the shopper's home to cook. While it's obvious that this is a controlled environment, parents who watch with young kids might want to remind their children that talking to strangers isn't OK, no matter how friendly or responsible they seem.

Families Can Talk About
- Families can talk about the risks of talking to strangers. Why is it important to be alert in public places? What should kids do if they're approached by a stranger? Families with older children can discuss how to prepare a meal. Why do you read a recipe? How do you time your cooking so that all the elements are ready in time? Or take it one step further and make a meal together.

I cried! I laughed! But mostly, I sleeped!
This show is really dumb. You can TOTALLY tell that the person that the chef meets in the store is expecting him to come up to her and ask her to bring him home. Also, when the husband comes home, he NEVER seems surprised. They obviously let EVERYBODY in on the secret and it is REALLY dumb!!! The cooking tips are useless, the food is garbage. I tried cooking the Tariaki Chicken and the Flaming Yon, but I ended up starting the house on fire. The quote "Everybody can do this" is a lie!!!!!!! Dont waste your hour on this rubbish! If you see your child watching it, PUNISH THEM!!!!!!
