Are you ready to join forces with my secret group of Chef Kitty's to take on either Dish 1 or Dish 2 to find your perfect Secret Ingredient??? ***BASIC INFO:*** -10 days to complete each Clue (total of 5 Clues). -Choice of SHAPES! Dish 1 (Wrap-Like) or Dish 2 (Shawl-Like), Clue 1 is the same for BOTH Dishes, so you do not have to decide your Dish until Clue 2. -Secret Ingredient can be used for either Dish!
