Everyone has talents, whether they are hidden, peculiar, or worth a standing ovation, but each talent has its own beauty and perks at many points. Many people are gifted with the talent of being able to cook delicious meals, and some might even call them food magicians to turn bland and boring food items into something very delicious and most importantly, something that is not less than gourmet.
Masterchef has been a platform for refining and representing such talent that has been hidden or limited to the four walls of a person’s kitchen and gives them a chance to express their talent of cooking food and meals through this show and complete their dream of becoming a chef.

The show was originally launched for its season in 2011, and since then, the show has been popular among the locals, and they have loved the show immensely. The show recently renewed for season 12, bringing in new chefs with dreams and aspiring to become the MasterChef. The show premiered the latest season on December 15th, 2022, and the first episodes were released together.
The show is judged by Bruno Barbieri, Antonino Cannavacciuolo, and Giorgio Locatelli, who are experts in their fields and are extremely practiced for the show. The show is directed by Umberto Spinazzola.
