Junior Masterchef: Episode 17

7.30pm Tuesday November 15 on Ten

Tonight the top 8 young cooks practise the sweet art of food deception, guided by world famous chocolatier Max Brenner. First up the kids are challenged to make something that looks savoury but tastes sweet.

After tasting Max’s deceptively sweet nacho and hamburger, the kids attempt their own sweet but savoury masterpieces – think chocolate meatballs and sweet spring rolls.

Later the kids participate in a MasterChef first – a slumber party! The kids sleep over in the MasterChef kitchen and wake up to a fantastic surprise… it’s Christmas! George, dressed as Santa, announces the kids must cook a winning Christmas dish that they usually share with their family every year. This festive cook-off is going to be a Christmas to remember!
