MasterChef Is Back And Looking For The Country's Best Amateur Cooks
This is a competition for people who are passionate about food and who believe they can cut it as a top chef. It’s a real test of their abilities, an experience of a lifetime, and an opportunity not to be missed.
MasterChef is back for a fourth series and the BBC is once again searching for talented amateur cooks who want to change their lives for a future in the food industry.
We are looking for people from all walks of life, who love cooking and want to take their obsession a stage further.
MasterChef offers a potentially life-changing experience. Since taking part, the winner of the first series, Thomasina Miers, has worked as a professional chef in top restaurants in both London and New York, has published two hugely successful cook books and is planning to open a restaurant of her own. Runner-up Caroline Bruster is now a successful food writer in America. Peter Bayless, winner of series Two, has worked in one of the country’s top Michelin restaurants and is considering opening a restaurant of his own. Series Two runners up ‘Digger Dean’ and Daksha have both started their own thriving catering businesses, and Christopher Souto is now working as a chef at Michael Dean’s top Michelin starred restaurant in Ireland.
The current series' contestants (now showing on BBC2 at 6.30pm) have stretched their cooking skills and determination to breaking point to reveal how talented they really are: in the heats they have cooked in a range of restaurants including Galvin at Windows, Gordon Ramsey’s La Noisette, Bentleys, Trios Garcon, Cocoon and the Mandarin Oriental’s The Park.
For the lucky six who make it through to the semis and finals, they have found themselves cooking for as wide a group as hungry soldiers in army field kitchens of the deserts of Cyprus, restaurant critics, ravenous school kids and the entire cast of ‘Casualty’, to top Michelin giants at the legendary Savoy, a state dinner at No 10, and cooking in service in the culinary centre of the world - Paris.
We are looking for the cooks out there who can be the champions of the next series and take their skills out of the kitchen and into cooking challenges that even the most hardened pro would dream about...
