MasterChef France

MasterChef France is a French television series broadcast on TF1 in France.[1] It premiered on August 19, 2010.[2] It is produced by Shine France and TF1 and has run for four seasons. The original presenter, Carole Rousseau, was controversially removed from the programme in 2013.[3]

Michel Roux Jr, a judge in the original British series, has stated that he believes the British MasterChef should be more ambitious and emulate some of the content of the French version.[4]

A large number of amateur chefs compete in the MasterChef France kitchen to impress three judges in order to become the MasterChef France winner.
