Tuesday’s episode features a challenge with Arabic dishes and special guest chef Fred Caffarena.
The seventh episode of MasterChef Celebrities dives into Arabic gastronomy as the contestants face a flavorful Middle Eastern banquet. The show airs Tuesday (30) at 10:20 p.m. on Band.
The six remaining contestants — Dodô, Gilmelândia, Julianne Trevisol, Maurren Maggi, Rachel Sheherazade, and Valesca Popozuda — will be guided by guest chef Fred Caffarena, an expert in Arabic cuisine. He will share professional tips to help them prepare authentic dishes full of tradition and flavor.
Split into teams, they must create a pasta, a main dish, and mini esfihas to impress judges Erick Jacquin, Helena Rizzo, and Henrique Fogaça. The best-performing group earns a spot in the mezzanine and stays safe from elimination.
Natural market and game challenge
In the elimination round, the studio turns into a natural market. Contestants must create a savory dish featuring a mandatory fruit using only fresh ingredients. Before cooking, they join a fun mini-game that awards strategic advantages.
The contestant with the weakest dish leaves the competition. The MasterChef format was created by Franc Roddam and is represented worldwide by the Banijay Group. In Brazil, it’s produced by Endemol Shine Brasil for Band and Discovery Home & Health.
The show airs on Tuesdays at 10:20 p.m. on Band, with encores on Sundays at 4 p.m. Episodes can also be watched on Band.com.br, the Bandplay app, and every Friday at 8:15 p.m. on HBO Max and Discovery Home & Health. Extra content is available on the official YouTube channel.
