The cookery competition with John Torode and Gregg Wallace reaches knockout week, as the twelve most promising cooks from the heats compete for a place in the semi-final.

With the cooks split into two groups of six, this episode sees the first group sent to London's Heathrow Airport, where they must cook lunch for over 200 employees at British Airways' maintenance base. Heathrow is the busiest airport in Europe, and the BA maintenance engineers carry out work on one of the 250 aircraft that require daily maintenance checks. Split into two teams of three, each group must cook two different main courses and desserts for the hungry engineers. Will they manage to hold their nerve and get all their dishes out to the pass on time?

Then, it is back to MasterChef HQ to show John and Gregg what they have learned. Still in their teams, they must cook 20 portions of breakfast in just one hour.

In a last chance bid to stay in this year's competition, the weakest individual cooks of the day must face each other in an invention cook-off to determine who will make it through to Friday's show-stopper challenge - the gateway to this year's semi-finals.

In this episode, the second group of six cooks are sent to the Fire Service College in Moreton-in-Marsh, Gloucestershire, where they must cook lunch for 200 firefighters. The college is an award-winning leader in fire and emergency response training, and one of the largest operational fire and rescue training colleges worldwide. The contestants must cook two different main courses (to include meat and vegetarian dishes) and desserts for the hungry firemen and women. Will the contestants manage to hold their nerve and get all their dishes out to the pass on time?

It's the start of the final week on MasterChef. Over three nights, the Final Three face some incredible challenges, putting their skill, ambition and tenacity to the test as they do all they can to impress some of the world's greatest chefs and raise their food to a level they never dreamed possible.

The pressure intensifies now as judges John Torode and Gregg Wallace send them on a culinary odyssey to Italy. Getting the chance to learn from and cook for some of Italy's most highly-regarded chefs, the three finalists must put everything they've learnt so far into practice if they are to have a chance at lifting the trophy.

The contestants start their journey on the Amalfi Coast where they meet legendary rustic cook Mamma Agata, who made her name cooking for visiting film stars like Humphrey Bogart, Elizabeth Taylor and Jackie Kennedy. Mamma begins by giving the final three the ultimate masterclass, introducing them to the foundations of her rustic Italian food before she challenges them to cook the dishes for her family. They must impress with flavour and knowledge if they are to make Mamma proud.

From Amalfi the contestants travel to Florence, where they face cooking at the opposite end of culinary spectrum; from rustic home cooked fare to three-star Michelin food. Enoteca Pinchiorri opened in 1979, and its interpretation of traditional Tuscan gastronomic cuisine has seen them hold three Michelin stars for almost a decade.

Finally all three travel north to Fiesole as they face their final challenge and put their Italian experiences into practice. Cooking an elite lunch attended by luminaries of the Florentine art world, they must produce three show-stopping dishes to truly demonstrate they have listened to the experts and mastered Italian food

The MasterChef finals reach boiling point as the outstanding Final Three face their penultimate and most terrifying challenge yet - The Chefs' Table.

However, before they face this esteemed group of professionals at the top of their game, they are back at MasterChef HQ. Judges John Torode and Gregg Wallace give the trio one last chance to prepare for this daunting challenge as they set them an invention test of epic proportions. From an incredible array of fine dining ingredients, the finalists have to come up with just one spectacular dish. The challenge doesn't just end there though, as the pressure is on when John and Gregg bring in a guest judge - the two-Michelin-starred Michael Caines, a chef with a fearsome reputation for nothing less than culinary excellence.

Some survive better than others, but all must learn from the experience as next they face the ultimate challenge - cooking an exquisite three-course menu, designed by two-Michelin-starred chef Simon Rogan, for a table of the county's finest three-star chefs.

Each preparing one course from the daunting menu, tension is immense and the expectations high in the kitchen, as the finalists battle to overcome new techniques, working with unfamiliar ingredients in the incredibly complex three-star dishes with multiple taste and textural layers. Not only are the contestants desperate to make Simon Rogan proud with perfectly executed dishes, but they are also out to prove their skill and talent to the esteemed guests seated at the Chefs' Table - four of the culinary industry's greats, all of whom hold the coveted three Michelin stars. This is their chance to prove to the best in the country they have what it takes.

It is the MasterChef final and, after a formidable eight week competition, the search for the country's best amateur cook reaches its climax. The finalists have to push themselves to the limit for one last time before judges John Torode and Gregg Wallace crown one of the three highly-talented amateur cooks MasterChef Champion.

This is their chance to pull out all the stops, show everything they have learned, and in three hours demonstrate what sort of cook they have become. They must produce three exceptional courses and are on a mission to push culinary boundaries and give the judges an awe-inspiring tasting like never before.

One of these three exceptional cooks will lift the trophy as John and Gregg crown them MasterChef Champion 2013.

ik heb mogelijk niet zo goed opgelet gisteren, maar was er normaliter niet een veel groter aantal chefs waar ze voor moesten koken? waarbij ze dan commentaar krijgen van Michel Roux etc.
Of komt dat vanavond?
