Masterchef 2012

Tuesday 17th January 9pm BBC One

MasterChef returns for its eighth series with more fantastically talented amateur cooks who want to test their kitchen skills and take a shot at lifting the coveted MasterChef Champion title.




Thousands of applications were scoured and a short-list of the country’s most talented amateur cooks were invited to cook for John and Gregg. Each created a spectacular dish which John and Gregg tasted in the isolation of the MasterChef
dining room, without watching the cooks themselves, their processes, techniques or skills. From these blind tastings, the judges selected the best 24 contestants.

Over the course of this week’s programmes, the 24 chosen best cooks are split into three groups of eight as they battle for just 12 MasterChef aprons and the chance to go through to the main competition.

In tonight's episode the first eight of the chosen 24 battle against each other. Firstly, they must hold their nerve in the dreaded Invention Test, where with only one hour and 15 minutes the hopefuls must impress the judges with an exceptional dish. For two contestants it will be the end of the road. The remaining six must then face the pressure a professional kitchen, working a packed lunchtime service in London restaurants The Living Room and Gilgamesh. After just an hour of learning the ropes they are set loose to prepare dishes for paying customers.

Finally they return to the MasterChef kitchen where all their hopes rest on jus tone dish. The contestants must draw on all their skills and influences as they prepare their own food to the highest standard in their last chance to impress John and Gregg.

Who will have what it takes to secure a MasterChef apron, and earn one of the 12 places in this year’s competition?
Only the best will win a place, taking their first step towards being crowned MasterChef Champion 2012.

Afijn Masterchef is er weer .

Vanaf morgen.

Begonnen.

Ja en nee

Vroeger was masterchef in heats en gingen de besten door naar de volgende ronde met een finaleronde waarin de winnaar werd gekozen.
Nu is dat 1 grote groep en vallen er steeds mensen af zoals dat in Australië ook is.

In de UK-versie heb je niet het geneuzel dat mensen bij elkaar in huis worden gezet etc.

Al heb je nu nog wel een voorronde waarin gestart wordt met 3x8 mensen. Maar daarna is het 1 grote groep.

MasterChef judges John Torode and Gregg Wallace set a truly daunting challenge for the contestants as they continue their search for this year's best amateur cook.

The remaining 12 amateur cooks have a baptism of fire as they face each other in the MasterChef kitchen for the first time. Not only do they have to be at the top of their game to ensure good food on time, but their guests for this pressure cooker of a challenge are a group of people who know exactly how high the MasterChef standards are - a selection of previous MasterChef winners and some of last year's finalists.

Each of the cooks is allocated a course and then they have just one hour and 30 minutes to prepare the meals. It is an impressive menu, and the guests have four starters, mains and desserts to choose from - but which will be the most popular?

With John overseeing the kitchen, the pace and the tension is immense for the amateurs to deliver their own food to the incredibly discerning diners. Not only must they be cooked perfectly and to John's standard, but they must also reach the pass at the same time so that no starter, main or dessert is late.

The stakes are high and heat is truly on - who will be able to deliver perfect plates, and who will crack under the pressure and reach the end of their MasterChef journey?

Only the best will survive in the battle to become the next MasterChef champion.
