Worst Cooks in America 15 is the fifteenth season of the American competitive reality television series Worst Cooks in America. It premiered on Food Network on January 6, 2019 and concluded on March 3, 2019. Allison Wolfe was the winner of this season, with Brittany Carel as the runner-up.
Format Worst Cooks in America is an American reality television series in which contestants (referred to as "recruits") with poor cooking skills undergo a culinary boot camp for the chance to win $25,000 and a Food Network cooking set. The recruits are trained on the various basic cooking techniques including baking, knife skills, temperature, seasoning and preparation. Each episode features two core challenges: the Skills Drill, which tests their grasp of basic techniques demonstrated by the chef mentors, and the Main Dish Challenge, where they must apply those skills to recreate or invent a more complex dish under specific guidelines. The weakest performer is eliminated at the end of each episode. The final two contestants prepare a restaurant-quality, three-course meal for a panel of food critics, who evaluate the dishes based on taste, presentation, and overall improvement.
Judges Tyler Florence returns to Worst Cooks in America with Anne Burrell to host season 15.
