MasterChef

Nine cooks face an audition test in which they must cook a Family Favourite dish, and an invention test. Seven will progress to the next round, and two will be eliminated.

This week’s seven remaining home cooks return to face a challenge set by food critic William Sitwell. Only four can progress to the first quarter-final.

The week's four best cooks compete in the first quarter-final, aiming to secure a place in Knockout Week. Their dishes must impress last year's MasterChef finalists.

Nine home cooks aim to progress to the next round of the competition, but they must recreate their Family Favourite dish and face the invention test. For two, their MasterChef dream will be over.

The seven remaining cooks face a challenge set by food critic Jay Rayner, in which they must create a dish using dough or batter.

This week's four most talented cooks must cook two courses that will excite not just John and Gregg but also some of MasterChef's most inspiring winners, finalists and contestants, who have all gone on to careers in the food industry.
