X2.1. Signature Ingredients
X2.1.1. Each participating Chef shall be assigned a signature ingredient. The signature ingredient shall be identified based on it being an ingredient that has been frequently-used by, is particularly relevant to, or iconically representative of the Chef concerned. Typically, a Chef's signature ingredient will be the ingredient that they have most frequently encountered through random selection during games of Ready, Steady, Chuck!, but it may subject to agreement be iconic to that Chef for other reasons, for example, in respect of a Special Achievement Award.
X2.1.2. A Chef's signature ingredient will always be included as one of the ingredients of their dish.
