Lifestyle, redefined

Discovery Travel and Living has launched three new programmes
|
Turn off the stove, fix yourself a cocktail and settle down for a mouth-watering culinary competition as five complete strangers battle it out for the title of consummate dinner party host. It’s a contest where each night, one of the five amateur chefs cooks up a dinner party for the other four at home. At the end of each evening the guests award points for food, presentation and entertainment. The host with the most wins $1,000. Can the hosts rise to the challenge and write themselves into the recipe books?
From dressing the guests in pajamas to serving grilled scallops and chocolate fondue in bed and playing a game of “Truth or Dare” it’s all happening in the premiere episodes of ‘Dinner Takes All’. From table setting which looks beautiful to beginning the evening in a makeshift gallery it’s all about trying to impress fellow guests in the group. ‘Dinner Takes All’ airs on Tuesday at 8 p.m.
STYLE SENSE From ‘Shear Genius’ (left) and ‘Making It Big’
‘Making It Big’ offers young professionals a ticket to the top of today’s popular creative careers. In each episode, three hopefuls face the toughest challenge as they vie for a reward money can’t buy – mentoring by a high profile leader in their industry. From music video directors to fashion photographers, from pastry chefs to songwriters, the programme features them all. To begin with, fashion photographers vie for a chance to be mentored by New York fashion photographer Joshua Jordan. Next in line are up-and-coming floral designers who must create elaborate floral design for a deluxe dinner party in just two hours. Oscar winning costume designer Angus Strathie will mentor budding costume designers who have to costume actors for a film scene in just two hours. Watch pastry chefs impress with multi-course dessert and advertising copywriters pitch a multi-media advertising campaign. All on Friday at 10 p.m.
‘Shear Genius’ which airs every Saturday at 8 p.m. puts together a group of talented hairstylists from around the world who literally go head-to-head in creative hairdressing challenges. Watch as some will get ‘cut’ early and others will literally ‘blow away’ the competition. Hairdressers need to do more than just comb and cut. Whether it’s the bob, bouffant, perm or chignon, hair becomes an art form. In the elimination challenge the contestants must create a red carpet hairstyle for a famous leading actress. Actor- singer Vanessa Williams will be one of the judges.
Watch these talent shows with a difference and watch your style quotient being redefined.
