Celebrity MasterChef – Season 2

It’s the grand finale! They are playing for the title, trophy and, most importantly, $100,000 for their charity. The dish that will seal their fate is set by culinary legend, Martin Benn.

In this challenge, the judges have decided to be generous and throw out the rules. They want to see a dish that is the culmination of everything the celebrities have learnt so far.

The celebrities have 2.5 hours to prepare 12 dishes and 30 minutes to serve. This is an elimination, so whoever serves the least impressive course will be knocked out of the competition.

The judges reveal that today the celebrities are going to have to keep up with Jock and replicate his dish as well as they can without a recipe or dish to reference.

The two most important things in the MasterChef kitchen are time and ingredients. The celebrities have four pantries to choose from. One pantry is revealed every 10 minutes in this elimination challenge.

Heston Blumenthal explains to the remaining celebrities how nostalgia is so important to the way he cooks, and challenges them to cook a dish that takes them back to their childhood.

This elimination challenge is a two-rounder, starting off with a classic MasterChef taste test. The ingredients from the round one taste test make up the pantry for round two.

The celebrities are split into four teams of two. Each team must cook a dish and serve it to 20 diners plus the judges in their very first service challenge at Starward distillery in Port Melbourne.

It is the second elimination for our celebrity cooks, and the judges announce that they’ll be competing in a two-round challenge, with round one being the famous MasterChef team relay!

Today’s challenge is a mystery box with a twist! Time is like gold in the MasterChef kitchen, and with immunity up for grabs for today’s winner the risk might be worth the reward.
