MasterChef The Professionals 2022 episode 15: The semi-finals conclude with the second group of four chefs facing two tough challenges as they try to win a place in Finals Week and move one step closer to lifting the trophy. Once again, the MasterChef: The Professionals pop-up opens for business in a warehouse in industrial east London, with the contenders cooking for 20 of the UK’s best pop up chefs and food entrepreneurs.
They then return to the MasterChef kitchen for their second task: cooking off against each other for an all-important place in Finals Week. They have one hour and 45 minutes to cook their Desert Island Dish. In a room of such talent and with the stakes so high, only the most exceptional food will be good enough. One chef will be eliminated by the judges, while the remaining three will join the other professionals to complete the Finals Week line-up.
MasterChef The Professionals 2022 episode 15
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.
