MasterChef is a Spanish competitive reality television cooking show based on the British television cooking game show of the same title. It premiered on La 1 on 10 April 2013. The show is presented by Eva González. Jordi Cruz, Samantha Vallejo-Nágera and Pepe Rodríguez judge the contestants. The series was picked up for a second season.
In the first season, only 15 people were chosen from among the 9,000 in the initial casting selection and competed for the title of MasterChef. The winner was given 100,000 euros, the opportunity to publish his own book of recipes, and the chance to attend the esteemed culinary school Le Cordon Bleu.
The initial selections began on February 4, 2013 in five areas of the country. All types of people came, including high-level executives, housewives, and construction workers. All of the candidates came together over their love of cooking. They had to be amateur cooks without culinary experience, but at the same time very talented.
The contestants competed against each other in individual challenges in the kitchen and also in group challenges outside of the set kitchen. The judges were Pepe Rodríguez, Jordi Cruz, and Samanta Vallejo-Nágera. The first season aired on La 1 of Televisión Española starting on April 10, 2013, and was hosted by Eva González.
In October 2013, MasterChef received the Ondas Awards for the best entertainment program in Spanish television.
The Spanish version of MasterChef filmed in the Estudios Buñuel is produced by Televisión Española in collaboration with Shine Iberia.
This reality show has been very well received by the public at a worldwide level with more than 200 million viewers in the 145 countries where it airs.
Fifteen amateur chefs competed in different challenges cooking alone or in teams, both in the set kitchen and elsewhere. The television studio was located in the Buñuel studios in Madrid.
