I get the impression that, except for the one that Paul or Mary give them (with very abbreviated instructions), they know ahead of time what they are going to make and can practice at home. Can someone correct or confirm? Maybe just basic parameters? Like what the Iron Chef contestants get, except we aren't supposed to suspect? 😁
