Offal literally means "waste" in some languages. It's got a nasty reputation for being high in cholesterol and it’s difficult to prep, and hard to swallow. But is there any truth to their notoriety?
Organ meats constitute part of the 39 million tonnes of animal by-products that are wasted globally every year. Studies have revealed that fewer animals would need to be reared overall if people learned to consume different animal parts including offal. Is a change of mindset all that we need to reduce meat wastage?
In this episode, our challengers Jamie and Daren, go on a nose-to-tail journey where they will learn anything and everything there is to know about offal. From learning how to identify the different offal parts, to cleaning and handling, Jamie and Daren will get their hands bloody while uncovering their nutritional secrets.
Hosted by Chef Isaac Henry, our contestants will need to prove themselves in an exhilarating offal cook-off. Can they overcome their unfamiliarity with organ meats?

Do You Waste Half The Fish?

Singaporeans consume 16kg of fish per person, every year. But just how much of the fish are we actually consuming? In one local fish farm alone, fish offcuts amount to 30,000 tonnes in a year because only fish fillets are in high demand.
Home-based food business owner Julie and fish fillet enthusiast Hosanna go on a journey to learn all there is to cooking different fish parts, including its head, bones and even scales! Beginning with fish filleting, Hosanna and Julie sharpen their knife-wielding skills before picking up skills from a guru to conjure up fish stock, fried fish heads and chawanmushi with fish maw and roe.
And finally, they pit their skills against each other with the ultimate zero-fish-waste cook-off!

When Does Food Really Expire?

From use-by to best before, 80% of Singaporeans are confused by the terms printed on their food labels. What do these labels mean? And what happens if the product is past its expiry date? A typical household in Singapore throws away an average of 19.6kg of expired food every year. But does all of it have to be thrown away?
Join our two kitchen amateurs, Kelvin and Ridhwan, as they go on a zero-waste journey to uncover when expired foods should actually be discarded.
With the guidance of Chef Isaac Henry, our boys will learn essential pantry management, how to decode printed labels, and even hacks on how to use expired foods in everyday cooking!
With hardly any cooking experience, how will Kelvin and Ridhwan fare in a zero waste cook-off against each other, using only expired goods?

Why Are Carbs Always Discarded?

Studies have shown that carbohydrates like rice, bread and noodles are the most widely discarded food group in Singapore. Whether we eat at home or dine out, carbs have long been taken for granted as ‘cheap fillers’.
Our two zero waste newbies, Melissa and Benji, also have this careless attitude, so host Isaac decides to get them toiling at a mini rice field – right here in Singapore!
With a newfound respect for the resources and effort it takes to grow a single grain of rice, Melissa and Benji head to the kitchen to learn ways to transform leftover carbs.
They cap off their learning journey with a unique cook-off – utilising as many types of stale carbohydrates as they can! What kind of new life can they breathe into these previously unloved staples?
