About MasterChef

MasterChef is a cooking competition like no other. A beloved part of the BBC line-up for almost 10 years in its current form, it has since become a global phenomenon with more than 40 local versions produced in countries as varied as South Africa, France, Israel, Norway, Vietnam, India and New Zealand. Its aim is to inspire food lovers everywhere to appreciate and share great food, and even transform their lives through their passion for food and cooking.

With more than 1,000 amateur chefs turned professional after appearing on MasterChef, the show has truly been life-changing for many, and has inspired spin-offs including Junior MasterChef, Celebrity MasterChef and MasterChef: The Professionals.

In the UK, fans can enjoy watching MasterChef on air across the year, with the 10th series of the revamped amateur version hosted by John Torode and Gregg Wallace airing in March 2014.
