MasterChef hosts Gregg Wallace and John Torode say the BBC show has revolutionised cooking in the UK as the competition returns for it's 20th series
The duo, who have been hosting the show since 2005, will soon welcome back a brand new batch of amateur cooks as they take on 'the most extraordinary tasks' yet.
Speaking ahead of the new series Gregg, 59, and John, 58, said they believed the show had helped revolutionise the UK food scene and introduced dishes that viewers would otherwise never have heard of. Viewers can expect to see the contestants, who hail from Dorset and Sunderland to the Scottish Borders and North Wales, serve up their food and cultural heritage in the hopes of making it to the final. Later, semi finalists will have to cater an extraordinary event celebrating MasterChef's legacy and emerging talent, as well its wider influence on the UK's culinary food scene; tackling an ingredient they didn't enjoy as a child; creating a theatrical and surprising dish; impressing Michelin-starred Swedish chef, Niklas Ekstedt; and finally, creating a plate of food inspired by a past contestant.
