MasterChef

MasterChef is a competitive cooking show television format created by Franc Roddam, which originated with the UK version in July 1990. Dave Ross commissioned the show for the BBC and gave it the name, he had already produced Masterteam a quiz with Angela Rippon and worked on Mastermind, and so the name was a continuum of that. The format was revived and updated for the BBC in February 2005 by executive producers Roddam and John Silver with series producer Karen Ross.

For the occupation, see Chef de cuisine. For other uses, see Master Chef.
