Episode 3
The first four quarter-finalists cook two courses for three previous MasterChef champions - Irini Tzortzoglou, Jane Devonshire and Tim Anderson.
In the first quarter-final, this week’s four most talented cooks return to fight for a place in the semi-finals. They must cook two courses that will excite not just John and Gregg, but also three previous MasterChef champions - Irini Tzortzoglou from 2019, Jane Devonshire from 2016 and Tim Anderson from 2011.
With just two semi-final places up for grabs, the contenders need to show real flair and ambition to edge closer to the MasterChef 2022 trophy.
