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.

Only 10 contestants remain in the cookery competition, and now they must face the Great British public for the first time. Judges John Torode and Gregg Wallace set the exceptionally tough task of creating fantastic food in a field.

Divided into two teams of five, the contestants have their work cut out for them as they prepare an elegant lunch for 100 patrons of the Jane Austen Festival on The Royal Crescent in Bath. They have just three hours to create six savoury dishes and two deserts between them, but can the teams manage to impress both the judges and the guests, and can they get the food out on time? With a range of ingredients to work from including chicken, salmon, duck, samphire, gooseberries, basil, figs and quince, the menus are set to be mouthwatering.

John and Gregg must then decide which team performed the best, at which stage the successful five then have the opportunity of working with one of the country's most exciting and respected chefs, Jason Atherton. They may have triumphed at mass catering, but the five winning team members must now show they have what it takes to cook at the top level. They are each made responsible for one course at an exclusive dinner. Cooking of this standard requires the utmost attention to detail and impeccable timing, but one of the hopefuls won't quite reach the mark and their MasterChef journey will come to an end.

de komende vijf weken slechts 1 aflevering per week aldus de masterchef twitter.

Dit seizoen heeft net zoals vorig seizoen slechts 15 afleveringen.

MasterChef continues its eighth series, as more fantastically talented amateur cooks put their culinary skills to the test and take a shot at lifting the coveted MasterChef Champion title. The contestants have been battling to stay in the MasterChef competition, and now only the best nine remain.

In this episode, judges John Torode and Gregg Wallace apply the pressure by giving last week's losing team a chance to redeem themselves. The team must once again survive the world of mass catering, and this time the five contestants have to prepare lunch for a massive 350 hungry factory workers. With the clock ticking, they have just 20 minutes to design their menu and only two and a half hours to create over 100 portions each of two tasty and satisfying meat dishes, and one substantial vegetarian option. Can the contestants work together as a team and prove they have what it takes this time, or will the pressure of cooking in volume be their undoing once more?

The remaining contestants must then return to the MasterChef kitchen to do battle as individuals. The cooks have just one daunting challenge to ensure their place in the competition - to make a show-stopping dish for judges John and Gregg. With only one hour and 30 minutes to deliver a simply sublime dish bursting with skill, flair, flavour, and presentation, the stakes are high for the contestants. They will have to cook their socks off to show John and Gregg that they still deserve a place in the competition.

Only the best cooks will survive and become one step closer to being crowned MasterChef Champion 2012

MasterChef continues with its eighth series and more fantastically talented amateur cooks who want to put their culinary skills to the test and take a shot at lifting the coveted MasterChef Champion title. Over the last few weeks the contestants have been battling to keep their place in the MasterChef kitchen, and now only the best eight remain.

In this episode, judges John Torode and Gregg Wallace ask the remaining cooks to take on three cornerstones of European cuisine - they must each master the art of Italian, Spanish or French cooking. Each group begins by being given a master class by a top chef in their chosen style, a chef who has developed their reputation by being the leading advocate of that country's cuisine: Italian Francesco Mazzei of L'Anima; Ben Tish from The Salt Yard, who specialise in Spanish tapas; and Bruno Loubet, chef in his self-titled French restaurant, Bistrot Bruno Loubet.

The MasterChef cooks are taught to prepare a dish that captures the heart and philosophy of their chosen country. They then must compete in the heat of service, mastering another dish working under their head chef, ensuring they reach the exacting standards of not only the restaurant and chef, but the specific cuisine of their chosen area. The contestants must take in everything they can if they are to impress when they return to the MasterChef kitchen. Here, watched by their mentor, they must create one dish that proves they have understood how to encapsulate their chosen country's style and flavours, and show John and Gregg that they have the skill to succeed.
