Greetings beautiful people of the Steemit world!

Friday is here and it's time to launch a new round of your most favorite cooking contest of Steemit - The one and only **Steemit Iron Chef!!!**

Yes my lovely friends, same as each Friday, I am here today to reveal the theme of this new round!!! We are already on the 10th round of Act 1 which will consist of 15 rounds in total! 

10 is a nice number...and it calls for the second **surprise** round of the first act!!!

After the normal **veg/fruit** theme the last three weeks, this 10th round will be a surprising one which I am sure you will all have fun making it!!!  

Before discovering that surprise theme, let me first of all thank all the 22 entrants for the 9th round whose theme was peas and at first sight all of them looks really very well done! 

If more entries come up before I complete my judging, for sure I will take them into consideration!

**Make a monochrome dish!!!**

This gonna be super exciting! What I am expecting from this round is that the contestants come up with a plate/dish made of ingredients having the same color...it can be of different tone but same color!

Let me share some plates I made for you to have an idea! Hope these will help!
