Excited about food? Catch MasterChef India Season 5.

Ermahgerd. It’s that time of the year when our food knowledge is going to be tested, excessive saliva production aka drooling is about to commence, and our culinary universe is all set to expand AGAIN.

So if you think cooking is about staying in the kitchen, turn off the judgement and prepare to learn a thing or two about culinary perfection. Because guess what, cooking is #NotJustAHobby. It takes a brilliant mind to rethink tradition and create something that can stimulate all the five senses together. MasterChef India will change the fate of its contestants all the while stunning you with a new art form.

MasterChef India Season 5 is all set to launch today and we can’t stop gushing over the promos. If you don’t believe us, then take look.

If your passion to pursue cooking was simmering till now, MasterChef India Season 5 is all ready to crank up the heat. And here’s why we are looking forward to this particular edition of our most favourite cooking show format…

Molecular Gastronomy

Now ‘molecular’ has been making all the right noises on the Indian food circuit. It is a branch of food science, that combines physics, chemistry and biology. It requires precision and in-depth knowledge of processes. And with Zorawar Kalra, restauranteur and the brain behind Farzi Café & Masala Library, on board as a judge, get ready to witness the magic of lemon gel bubbles and quenelles of saunth chutney.

Shock And Awe On Plate

If THAT dessert in the promo is anything to go by then get ready for some shock and awe this season. We are looking forward to bursting into giggles with some drama on judges’ tables. We can’t wait to see what our contestants will come up with.

Techniques

The 30 contestants participating this season seem to be adept with a range of techniques. From what we gather, some of them are already flambé-ing and using blow torch. The presentation techniques also seem to be on point this season, and as any die-hard MasterChef junkie will tell you presentation is as important as taste.

So get ready to dedicate your weekends to pursuit of culinary excellence. Because cooking, like the judges of this season say, is more than just a hobby. Tune in tonight at 8 PM on Star Plus.
