Episode 2
The cookery competition continues, as five more hopefuls try to prove to judges John Torode and Gregg Wallace that they have the potential to be the 2016 MasterChef champion.
Five more amateurs try to prove to judges John Torode and Gregg Wallace that they have the potential to be the 2016 MasterChef champion.
The contestants are first given just 75 minutes to impress Gregg and John with their calling card, a practiced dish that represents who they are as a cook and showcases their talent. After tasting all five dishes, John and Gregg, without telling each other, each pick their favourite dish. If they both choose the same dish then they will select their second preference. The two lucky cooks will be safe - for now - and sail straight through to the second test.
They remaining three contestants must cook again in a 'sweet or savoury' invention test, at the end of which one amateur is sent home. The four remaining cooks must then create two courses to excite not only John and Gregg but also 2010 finalists Alex Rushmer and Tim Kinnaird and 2010 champion Dhruv Baker. After the four hopefuls have cooked, John and Gregg decide which three contestants deserve to take the next step in the competition and go through to the first quarter-final.
