MasterChef judges look for creativity
However, contestants are on MasterChef to prove their creativity and offer a unique take on a traditional dish.
Those who want to use recipes for their meals might think twice if they want to make it to the finale!
Unsurprisingly, contestants will impress judges much more if they create something original like a gluten-free option of a popular dessert for example. Or a carrot tzatziki instead of the Greek dish with yoghurt, cucumbers and dill.
Is creative thinking enough to substitute the cooking skills one needs to join MasterChef?
