Cook like a Michelin-starred chef and impress the heck out of your dinner guests this holiday season. Check out Gordon Ramsay: Cookalong Live on FOX Tuesday night (Dec.15). The best part is, you get to cook alongside Gordon Ramsay without being yelled at.

You will need to gather and prep all the ingredients beforehand. Here's the low-down straight from the FOX press elves:

Comedian Cedric the Entertainer, actress Alyson Hannigan and Grammy Award-winning artist LeAnn Rimes will strap on their aprons and step up to the stovetop as they join Chef Gordon Ramsay in-studio for Gordon Ramsay: Cookalong Live Tuesday, Dec. 15 (9:00-10:00 PM ET live/PT tape-delayed) on FOX.

During the live one-hour special, Chef Ramsay will guide America and his special celebrity guests through step-by-step instructions on how to cook three fresh and easy dishes, including Angel Hair Pasta with Shrimp, Chili Peppers and Tomatoes appetizer; Steak Diane with Sautéed Potatoes and Peas as the main course; and Quick Tiramisu for dessert.

As a reminder, participants will need to be armed with all the ingredients before the cookalong, so Chef Ramsay has provided this shopping list to assist in preparation for the cooking event:
