It’s finals week of MasterChef 2019. Over the past six weeks the country’s very best amateur cooks have been whittled down to the top five. Each talented cook has a single goal: to lift the coveted MasterChef Champion trophy. \n\nOver the next four programmes, the finalists face some incredible challenges, testing their ambition, creativity, skill and perseverance to the max as they go all out to impress some of the world’s greatest chefs, and raise their cooking to a level they never dreamed possible. At the end of this week, one will walk away the MasterChef Champion.\n\nTonight the final five are heading to the Royal Society in London. They have the immense task of cooking a five-course tasting menu to celebrate the 40th anniversary of the Transglobe expedition, the world’s first expedition to circumnavigate the globe via both the south and north poles. Hosting the event is Sir Ranulph Fiennes, the worlds greatest explorer and mastermind of the expedition itself, and guests include members of the Transglobe support team as well as renowned British explorers.\n\nThe contestants have each designed a dish based around a place that has inspired them. Will the amateur cooks rise to the occasion and impress the special guests with the standard of dishes they produce?\n\nThe finalists then return to the MasterChef kitchen where they are tasked with the challenge of creating one exceptional dish that shows they are worthy of a place in the final four. With just two hours to showcase all they’ve learned over the competition so far, now is the time to push themselves to the limits of their capabilities. Their one dish needs to demonstrate to judges John Torode and Gregg Wallace that they have what it takes to go the distance. Will their flair, creativity and palate be enough to save them from being sent home? Who can make it through to the final four and keep their dream alive of winning MasterChef 2019?
