''MasterChef'' is a BBC television competitive reality cooking show. It initially ran from 1990 to 2001 and was later revived in a different format known as ''MasterChef Goes Large'' from 2005 onwards. In 2008, the "Goes Large" part of the name was dropped, but the format remains identical. The revamped format was devised by Franc Roddam and John Silver with Karen Ross producing. The series now appears in four versions: the main ''MasterChef'' series, ''MasterChef: The Professionals'' for working chefs, ''Celebrity MasterChef'', and ''Junior MasterChef'', for 9-to-12-year-olds.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=CBBC gets children cooking as Junior MasterChef is announced )〕 The format has been reproduced around the world in a large number of international versions. ==Original series== In the original series, three amateur cooks took part in each episode, with nine heats leading up to three semifinals and a final, in which they competed for the title of ''MasterChef''. Their task was to cook a gourmet three-course meal in under two hours. Contestants could cook whatever they liked, though there was a price limit on ingredients. "Everyday" ingredients and equipment were provided for them, in addition to which they could bring in up to five "specialist" ingredients or utensils. The first incarnation of the series was presented by Loyd Grossman, who was joined each week by two guest judges, one a professional chef, the other a celebrity. Grossman and the guest judges discussed the menus, wandered around talking to the contestants, and finally ate and judged the food at the end. Originally, the judges' "cogitations" took place off-camera, though later on edited highlights of the discussions were added between the tasting and the announcement of the winner. In 1998, Grossman decided to take a one-series sabbatical. He returned to present the 1999 series, but left the programme in 2000. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「MasterChef (UK TV series)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
