MasterChef 14-30

Contestants must produce a dish featuring one of five internationally sourced ingredients that they have never used before, in an elimination cook off. For one cook, it will be their final dish.

The contestants gather at Gradi, one of Melbourne's leading Italian restaurants before being split into two teams who must prepare four dishes for 250 hungry diners to avoid the elimination challenge.

Eight eliminated contestants return for the chance to cook their way back into the competition.
