Celebrity Snackdown

We love both these ladies so we were anxious to see if Joanna's classic and subtle baking approach could compete with Chrissy's irreverent kitchen take.

Mario is a world-renowned Italian chef, but we weren't sure how well his recipes worked for home cooks. Ree is not classically trained, but her recipes are loved and trusted by her fans. We honestly had no idea whose dish we would like more.

When we found out that Tony Danza had a good meatball recipe, we were overcome with excitement. We were very eager to test his recipe, but we needed something to compare it to. Enter: Bobby Flay. Most of his dishes are highly rated on FoodNetwork, including his meatball recipe. We put them both to the test.

In the kitchen, it doesn't matter if you're a Democrat, Republican or Independent. Good food is universal, and politics are pointless. When we heard President Obama has been making chili since college, we had to put it to the test. And who better to faceoff against him than Tyler Florence, who claims his is the "ultimate?"

We know it doesn't feel like a fair matchup. Buddy Valastro is a world-famous pastry chef, and Kourtney Kardashian is an world-famous reality television star. But these smackdowns have been known to surprise us, so we couldn't resist pitting their pumpkin pies against each other, just in time for the holidays.

This is not a drill. We pit Jersey Housewife star Teresa Giudice against celebrity chef Emeril Lagasse to see whose marinara recipe is better. We know it sounds crazy and unfair, but hear me out. Teresa probably deserves way more credit than you'd think. She's not just some rando TV star who decided to write a cookboook. She has four! Emeril has over a dozen restaurants, but again, you never know.

Oops we did it again. We created yet again an unlikely, seemingly unfair matchup between chef and celebrity. But in this snackdown, the celeb is also a former First Lady. Its Jackie Kennedy versus Rachael Ray, waffle edition! Though the waffles look pretty similar, their textures varied significantly. Here's how the two stacked up.

So many celebrities have shared their smoothie secrets, making this a tough choice. Ultimately, we decided on Giada De Laurentiis, because we know for a fact our fans love her healthy recipes, and Julianne Hough, because her go-to allegedly tastes like apple pie. Here's how the two stacked up.

When it comes to food, Chrissy Tiegen can be pretty dramatic. In her first ever cookbook, she proclaimed that her roast chicken was better than Ina Garten- the Barefoot Contessa. It should come as no surprise that her attitude towards chicken pot pie is not very humble, so we wanted to pit her recipe against a celebrity with a seemingly traditional pot pie recipe. Enter: Lauren Conrad.

A good from-scratch brownie recipe can be hard to come by. We took the task of choosing the celebs for this snackdown very seriously. The Barefoot Contessa needed to be in the competition - we trust her with our lives. As for a worthy competitor, Nigella has proven herself more than capable in the decadent chocolate dessert department. Watch to see how we came to this VERY difficult decision.

Blake Lively's favorite biscuit recipe isn't one she wrote herself. It's from a cookbook that she swears "changed her life." Reese didn't write her biscuit recipe either - her Grandma Dorothea did. They look almost identical to Blake's ... but don't all biscuits? We all know it's not about the golden exterior - it's the fluffy and flaky layers inside that count.

Scrambled eggs may be one of the easiest things in the world to make, BUT it's one of the most difficult dishes to perfect. To strengthen our skills, we turned to two great chefs: Gordon Ramsay and Jamie Oliver.

We at Delish have faith in Sasha Fierce for pretty much anything ... including guacamole. This guac is one of two recipes she's shared with the world. (The other is for lemonade, obvi.) Against Bey, is Eva Longoria. Most people know her for her role on Desperate Housewives as Gabriele Solis, but what many don't realize is that she's a cookbook author too.

People love to hate on Giada's accent just as much as they enjoy criticizing Gwyneth's parenting practices. They're both polarizing characters, despite each woman's success in what seems like all of her endeavors - TV, movies, restaurants, cookbooks, lifestyle brands. Is the hate warranted? We decided to test see for ourselves, by way of carbonara.
