The eight MasterChef winners occupy the kitchen while mingling with the jury and scouting the competition. In the first challenge of the season, they have to cook a signature dish that shows who they are today, something that some find easier than others.

Jessica Frej comes to visit and brings a box with her 20 favourite ingredients. The task is to prepare a main course of your choice using at least 16 of the ingredients. In the next challenge, former participant Philip Poon organizes a demanding taste test.

In the first challenge, the MasterChefs will prepare a dish from pikeperch. In the next challenge, the jury presents various kitchen appliances that have come on strong in the last decade. The task is to choose one of the utensils and cook any dish using it.
