MasterChef S20E02 - Episode 2

Six more amateur cooks throw themselves into the world of MasterChef. Their aim is to reach the quarter-final, but first they need to fight for the right to wear a MasterChef apron.

John and Gregg task the six competitors with elevating an everyday ingredient in the new Basic to Brilliant challenge. With competitors including a farmer, bartender and a musical director, John and Gregg can be guaranteed a broad range of culinary delights.

The remaining contestants must think on their feet when they are given a trout which needs to be filleted, cooked, and served in the most delicious way possible.

The two that make it through join those from the first round for the most daunting task yet: cooking their best two-course menu for three guests who have been in their shoes. This time they are past champions Jane Devonshire, Irini Tzortzoglou and Ping Coombes. With only an hour and 15 minutes to deliver eight plates of food, it will take steady nerves not to crumble.

Will John and Gregg agree with the MasterChef alumni's feedback?
