MasterChef Australia
Food2009Rated 7.1
Home cooks audition for three professional judges with a signature dish, and those who get through compete in weekly challenges, cooking against the clock and each other until one is named MasterChef Australia.
Starring George Calombaris, Gary Mehigan, Matt Preston

Nothing scheduled
Is it for me?
A warm, upbeat contest for people who would rather watch technique than backstage drama. Every season brings back the pressure test, where the weakest cooks must recreate a hard set recipe. The mystery box hands each cook the same hidden ingredients, and the judges teach as much as they criticise.
Before you start
Any year works as a starting point, since each stands alone, but the judging panel changed after season 11 and the feel differs by era.
18 seasons, 1151 episodes, 70 min each, about 1345 hours so far
