Episode 9
John Torode and Gregg Wallace take the remaining contestants to Oxford University, where they prepare a three-course meal for 150 students and 15 senior fellows of New College.
The pressure is mounting as the country's best six amateurs enter the seventh week of the cooking competition of their lives.
In this episode, MasterChef judges John Torode and Gregg Wallace take the contestants to one of the most iconic universities in the world: Oxford University. In their first foray into fine dining in large numbers, they are preparing a delectable three-course meal at a formal hall for 150 students and 15 senior fellows of New College, Oxford.
Working under the college's head chef, they cook in pairs, with each team delivering one course. With so many intricate elements to their dishes, service for 165 people is an awesome challenge for the amateurs. In addition, they cannot afford to turn the tide of history and become the first to be late serving in 700 years.
Then the contestants return to the MasterChef kitchen for one more fine dining challenge. This time their food is tasted by two Michelin-starred chef and legend Michel Roux Jr. With hearts pounding, the contestants must endure their most feared and respected critic's view of their dishes before the judges decide their fate.
Only the finest, most skilful cooks will stay in the competition and have a chance to win this year's MasterChef.
