BBC One - MasterChef, Series 16, Episode 22

It is finals week, and only four chefs remain.

It is finals week, and only four chefs remain. Tonight, they embark on a culinary adventure of a lifetime on the island of Mauritius.

It is finals week. Over the past seven weeks, 60 of the country’s very best amateur cooks have been whittled down to just four. Each talented contestant has a single goal - to lift the coveted MasterChef trophy at the end of this week. 
 
Tonight, the final four hopefuls embark on a culinary adventure of a lifetime on the island of Mauritius, facing three extraordinary challenges that they will remember for the rest of their lives. 

The first challenge takes place in the town of Mahebourg, one of the island’s earliest established fishing ports. Split into teams of two, each pair will be tasked with cooking two traditional Mauritian street food dishes for 15 local fishermen. To help the finalists make sense of this unique multicultural fusion cuisine, they are mentored by chef Moroogun Coopen, president of the Mauritius Chefs Association and one of the island’s best known cooks.

Next, the amateurs travel to the island’s capital, Port Louis, where they have the honour of working at Labourdonnais, a hotel famed for being at the forefront of Mauritian gastronomy, run by executive chef Peeroo Nizam. The four contestants will be working during a busy lunch service at Labourdonnais and are given three hours to each prepare and cook a dish from chef Nizam’s menu. 

Finally, the finalists face the daunting challenge of creating an exceptional dinner for chef Coopen, chef Nizam and some of the leading figures in Mauritius’s food and cultural community.
