Episode 9
Cookery competition. After four weeks of intense competition, the best eight cooks remain. They face a mass catering challenge and cook British classics.
After four weeks of intense competition, it's the first of the semi-finals, and the best eight cooks remain. The show kicks off with a trip back in time, catering for Blists Hill Victorian Town in Shropshire. Seventy dedicated volunteers who run the shops, businesses, and schools of the mining town are gathering for a special lunch. Split into two teams, the contestants must work in specially constructed kitchens in marquees, and on equipment they have never worked on before, so conditions are tough! The teams must design and create four mouthwatering dishes, each from a selection of ingredients that would have been available in the Victorian period, including beef sirloin, kidneys, herring, John Dory and pork, as well as a selection of fruit and vegetables, and herbs and spices.
Next it's back to the MasterChef kitchen, where they face the Great British Classic Dish Test, and must fight for their place in the competition. Each of the eight benches in the kitchen contains the ingredients and recipe to make a different British classic, from a Cumberland rum nicky, to a Lancashire courting cake, to a Devonshire apple dappy. The celebrities must pick a bench at random, and then cook the dish that's on it perfectly.
At the end of this challenge more celebrities will be going home, and their dream of being Celebrity MasterChef champion 2015 will be over.
