Cheech Marin is one of the contestants on Food Network's latest reality competition, Rachael vs. Guy Celebrity Cook-Off. Marin said he picked up a few strategies on the show to decrease his cooking time. 
"When you have a short challenge - like a 10-minute one - it's hard to find quickly all the ingredients you need in a huge pantry. So anytime we had a spare moment, I would go in there to locate my staples: parsley, oregano and chiles."
Like many chefs, Marin thinks of cooking as an art form and likes for that to show in his presentation. 
"I always try to bring art to my food - I love to have a lot of colors on the plate."
