Fox's 'Gordon Ramsay: Cookalong Live' special releases shopping list

Fox has released the shopping list for home viewers who plan on participating in Gordon Ramsay: Cookalong Live.


The special -- which is based on a cooking show that aired in the U.K. last January and encourages viewers to cook along with the Hell's Kitchen star from their homes -- will air live on Tuesday, December 15 at 9PM ET/PT.

During the one-hour special, Ramsay will guide viewers with step-by-step instructions on how to cook a three-course meal that will feed four and includes angel hair pasta with shrimp, chili peppers and tomatoes for an appetizer, steak diane with sauteed potatoes and peas as a main course, and a quick tiramisu for dessert.

In addition, Fox is currently casting interested individuals to appear on the special from their home. More information is available via Fox's website.

Fox ordered Gordon Ramsay: Cookalong Live as part of an agreement it struck with Ramsay last September that included Hell's Kitchen's recently-concluded sixth season and an additional seventh edition, a third season of Kitchen Nightmares, and a third yet-to-be-announced new series.
