Year 10 Masterchef Challenge!

This year’s Year 10 MasterChef Challenge pushed students to the next level! Working against the clock, students had just 1 hour and 20 minutes to prepare not one, but two dishes – a savoury main and a dessert.

 

Each team selected a country to represent and created dishes that stayed true to the authentic flavours and traditions of that cuisine while adding their own creative twist. Alongside their cooking, students also presented a food label for their main dish. The menu featured an incredible range of dishes, including Pork Schnitzel and Apple Strudel, Lasagne and Biscotti, Bobotie and Cinnamon Pannekoek, and Chicken Souvlaki and Loukoumades. The creativity and quality of the dishes were outstanding.

The standard of cooking was exceptional, with students demonstrating impressive time management, organisation, creativity, and culinary skills.

 

Congratulations to our 2026 Year 10 MasterChef Champions, Dylan Subke and Noah Batchelor, who claimed first place with their outstanding Italian menu of Pecorino and Pancetta Carbonara and a classic Chocolate Tiramisu. Their dishes perfectly captured authentic Italian flavours and earned them a well-deserved place on the Year 10 MasterChef Honour Board after an incredibly competitive challenge.

 

A special shout-out also goes to our runners-up, whose dishes were of an exceptionally high standard and pushed the winners all the way. The competition was incredibly close, making the judges’ decision one of the toughest yet. Well done to all of our aspiring MasterChefs for their enthusiasm, creativity, and outstanding effort!
