MasterChef bosses introduce new Tasting Room twist

OHMYGOSSIP — ‘MasterChef’ bosses are introducing a new ‘Tasting Room’ twist for the new series.
The culinary competition will return to BBC One on March 23, and producers are shaking up the first round as judges Gregg Wallace and John Torode won’t be watching the meals be prepared as they judge the dishes blind.
John said: “It keeps it really fresh and it keeps us fresh.”
In a press release, the Beeb explained: “The contestants must calm their nerves to focus on the food and deliver their standout Signature Dish – showing John and Gregg who they are as a cook and how good they could become.
“The judges don’t witness the action in the ‘MasterChef’ kitchen, but are served each dish in the new Tasting Room.
“Just like diners in a restaurant, they judge each contestant’s food solely on the plate that is put in front of them.
“John and Gregg pick their three favourite dishes, giving those cooks a well-earned MasterChef apron and immunity from cooking in the next round.”
There will be five heats with each featuring nine contestants, with the ‘Tasting Room’ seeing John and Gregg’s top three go to the next round, while the other six most cook again – it won’t be judged blind this time – and the bottom two will be sent home.
The semi finalists will then be given some tough challenges, with 20 returning contestants back to taste their meals.
To mark the centenary of the Royal British Legion’s crucial work with serving and ex-serving personel, the contestants will be tasked with delivering a lunch celebrating over 20 war veterans and fundraisers.
They will also have to make a dish inspired by hit single ‘Buttery Biscuit Base’.
Meanwhile, Gordon Ramsay will make a guest appearance as the final three will eventually take on the Chef’s Table challenge at his London restaurant.
