It’s the highlight of every MasterChef Australia series: the international trip. The remaining eight contestants find themselves winging their way to Dubai, with two lucky contestants winning a special trip to Paris in World Food Week.

Welcome to Dubai. In four teams of two, the contestants will face a challenge that sees them shop in the local souk and then travel to the desert to prepare, cook and serve a banquet to 36 VIP Emirati guests. With each team given a local core ingredient, they will be mentored by guest chef and Middle Eastern cuisine expert Greg Malouf. The winning team will be granted a prize like no other – first-class tickets to Paris for a guided walking tour hosted by the one and only Matt Preston. For the losers, they go into tomorrow’s elimination challenge.

Today the six losing contestants from yesterday’s challenge face elimination. Taking over the Ossiano kitchen at Atlantis The Palms hotel, they must prepare dinner for 50 VIP Atlantis guests joined by Ossiano Vice President Mark Patten. They will each be responsible for one dish: an entrée, main or dessert. The creator of the worst dish of the day will be eliminated.
