1. Desserts and more desserts
Top Chef Just Desserts is all about pastries and desserts. Part science, part arts and craft, the show introduces us to the joy of fabulous desserts. Featuring chocolate fudge cakes, banana cream pies, pralines, bombes and many more, these vivid and luscious creations are feast for all the senses.

The ever delightful Gail Simmons takes a step up from her role as judge on Top Chef and hosts the new show. She is joined by Johnny Iuzzini, Hubert Keller and Dannielle Kyrillos as judges.
3. Drama like you've never seen on Top Chef
From the self titled "Snow Queen" to the utterly disturbed Seth Caro, Top Chef Just Desserts dishes up a bevvy of delusion and crazy the likes of which we have never seen on a cooking show. Last week Seth had a complete emotional breakdown in the Quickfire challenge when his sorbet did not set in time. A mere mortal would have been annoyed or depressed, 34 year old Seth started ranting and eventually crawled in under a table, weeping uncontrollably and babbling on about his mommy. (If you are an avid watcher of the show, you would probably have noticed that Seth is missing from the promotional picture above. Keep watching to find out why!)
On a different note, fellow contestant Morgan Wilson was arrested soon after the end of the show on allegations relating to child pornography. Watch out for scenes where he waxes lyrical about the virtues of little children.
Top Chef Just Desserts airs on M-Net Series on Saturdays at 19h30.
