When Food Network Star kicks off upon May 22 (at 9|8c), mentors Bobby Flay as well as Giada De Laurentiis will have a single pursuit before them: Find Food Network's next famous face. It's up to them to guide a rivals through 11 weeks of competition, challenge them to grow as well as improve, as well as ultimately decide who among them has a bright light of Star power only like a mentors have. Recently Star Talk chatted with Bobby as well as Giada, who looked forward to what's in store for a finalists this season as well as reflected upon their own roads to stardom as well as how they've claimed a spotlight as their own.

For Giada, a key to success is as simple as only being yourself as well as "being comfortable with who you are," she says. But that may be easier pronounced than done, she explains. "Thats a tough place to get to, especially for women," she says, noting a double standard that's often expected of women. "For a long time in a beginning of my career, we really cared a lot about what everybody else thought of me, as well as that defined who we was as well as what we was doing," she adds. It turns out, though, that all it took for her to accept herself as well as feel loyal ease was time. "I consider in my older years, being over 40 now, Ive started to realize we only have to do what we want to do as well as not worry so much about what everybody else thinks, because truly Im not going to make everyone happy," she says. "Im not going to be a person everybody wants me to be." These days, her concentration is upon herself as well as her family, she tells us. "So as long as we can get up in a morning, look at myself in a mirror as well as be happy with who we am, as well as my immediate family is OK with who we am, we consider thats a success."

Bobby says professional growth has been a vast driver of his success. He notes his willingness to adapt as a landscape changes around him. "Trying to be improved each day as well as being open to trying new things as well as evolving as a times evolve as well as then a viewers evolve," he explains. "I consider that thats really important."

They had to do everything with one hand, Alton explained of their prep work. And occasionally a Bobs, with their creepy little raccoon, gecko hands, would change, and [the mother-daughter team] would have to [prep] upon a alternative side.

Come a second-round review, Alton unveiled what he called a bun-in-the-oven sabotage, and Jet had just one word for this microwave-oven-turned-vest contraption both contestants upon one group had to sport. Dude, Jet pronounced simply, taking in a plea in all its glory. This is crazy.

And in Round 3, it was all about a certain Mom-focused repository that, according to Alton, is perhaps a most-painfully diabolical sabotage weve ever come up with. The sabotage was complete with dual face holes one for each aspirant upon a group though only dual arm holes, and a mother-daughter group saddled with it was forced to stay in this for a whole challenge, Alton told Jet. The judge, while shocked by a realization of a stipulations such a sabotage would entail, couldnt help though suppose himself and a host gracing a cover. We demeanour amazing, dont we? he asked.

Its not difficult to find the bottle labeled extra virgin olive oil the tenure thats not only ubiquitous, though that is also synonymous in many peoples minds with the high-quality product. Unfortunately, like many other words that end up upon food labels, those dont necessarily mean what they say. In fact, an estimated 70 percent of alien extra virgin olive oil isnt actually extra virgin during all. Its been refined as well as processed or done from poor-quality (possibly even rotten) olives.

Rob McGavin, CEO of Cobram Estate, is upon the query to change that or during least suggest up the reasonably priced, peculiarity olive oil that lives up to its extra virgin label. Here, he explains how to find the single thats worth eating.

Healthy Eats: Whats the disproportion between an olive oil thats refined as well as the single thats truly extra virgin?

Rob McGavin: Approximately 50 percent of the worlds olives are so rotten when they are crushed that the resulting oil is not fit for consumption as well as needs to be refined. The refining process is the very unnatural, industrial process that uses heat as well as chemicals to bleach, neutralize, deodorize as well as degum the oil. The process also removes all the antioxidants as well as creates unhealthy trans fats. True extra virgin olive oil comes from simply abrasive as well as pressing uninformed olives.

HE: How can consumers distinguish the true extra virgin olive oil from the refined or adulterated product?

RM: Consumers really need to taste it. Extra virgin olive oil should taste like the uninformed fruit, with the formidable season as well as the bit of pepperiness upon the finish (those are the antioxidants). In the store, its best to look for bottles with the harvest date to verify the freshness of the oil. And buy ones done from olives from the single source (e.g., 100 percent California olives), because if the olives are entrance from multiple countries, chances are some were mishandled along the way.

HE: How quickly should olive oil be used up after bottling in order to get the best taste as well as many nutritional benefits?

RM: The quicker the olives are crushed as well as pressed after picking, the more the levels of antioxidants are maximized. And the sooner you enjoy it after that, the better. We test each of the olive oils for an exact best-by date during the time of pressing as well as print it upon the bottle. Typically, it is about 18 months from the harvest date. We also recommend that once the bottle is opened, you use it within 4 weeks for maximum season as well as health benefits.

HE: How is Cobram able to furnish such the high-quality extra virgin olive oil during such the comparatively low price?

RM: Our production methodology allows us to furnish some of the highest-quality extra virgin olive oil during an affordable price (California Select as well as Australia Select both retail for $12.99). We are the fully vertically integrated company, which allows us to be efficient as well as provide unparalleled peculiarity control. Thanks to exclusive harvesting as well as abrasive techniques, were able to press the olives within 4 to six hours of them being picked from the branch.

Note: The olive oil will be available in stores across the US starting in May 2016.
