MasterChef S20E06 - Episode 6

It's the second quarter-final, and this week's most talented amateurs return to test their mettle with their sights set on a place in Knockout Week. But getting there won't be easy.

The brief will be set by one of country's finest restaurant critics – Jay Rayner. The dish in mind is a true crowd pleaser – the perfect pie. It can be sweet or savoury, but they must make their own pastry and deliver it with the most exceptional accompaniments in just one hour and 30 minutes. Soggy pastry and lacklustre fillings will not be well received.

Nobody wants to go home now, but only the best will secure a spot in Knockout Week, where truly extraordinary challenges await in the race for the title of MasterChef champion 2024.
