MasterChef episode 8 2021 – The Professionals

MasterChef episode 8 2021 – The Professionals: Tonight’s quarter-final sees the strongest four chefs from heats three and four return to face two more demanding challenges.

First, the judges set the bar high with an Invention Test. The chefs must create a standout dish centered around one key ingredient, mustard. They have ten minutes to select their ingredients from an array of meat, fish and vegetables, then 60 minutes to cook and serve the dish. Can they turn up the heat and balance the bold and complex flavours of the classic condiment?

Then they face the daunting task of cooking for three of the UK’s leading restaurant critics: Grace Dent, Tom Parker Bowles and William Sitwell. With one opportunity to make their mark, they have one hour and 15 minutes to prepare a perfect two-course menu. Can they strike the right balance between ambition and capability? Only the most talented chefs will make it through to the semi-finals.

MasterChef is a competitive cooking show television format created by Franc Roddam, which originated with the UK version in July 1990. The format was revived and updated for the BBC in February 2005 by executive producers Roddam and John Silver with series producer Karen Ross.

The revived format is sold internationally by Banijay. Its first international adaptation was MasterChef Australia, which began in 2009, and then the adaptation was executed within several other countries of the world.

The show’s format has been exported around the world under the same MasterChef logo, and is now produced in more than 40 countries and airs in over 200 territories.

The format has appeared most often in four major versions: the main MasterChef series, MasterChef: The Professionals for professional working chefs, Celebrity MasterChef featuring well known celebrities as the contestants and Junior MasterChef, a version created and adapted for children, which was first developed in 1994 and has also expanded to other countries in recent years.

Despite the four major versions, in 2012, Australia created the fifth version called MasterChef All-Stars, for former contestants to raise money for charity. In 2018, Ukraine created MasterChef Teens, for teenage contestants. Brazil created MasterChef: Para Tudo (MasterChef: Stop Everything), a TV show featuring interviews with judges and former contestants, plus recipes and memes, presented by Ana Paula Padrão.
