Pretty much every MasterChef fan in the world has likely wished they could learn to cook like the champion cooks they see on TV.
And now, thanks to a delicious partnership between MASTERCHEF and Eatwith, they can.
Eatwith is the world’s largest community for authentic culinary experiences with locals. The company has now partnered with Endemol Shine North America, a Banijay company which produces the hit culinary competition series MASTERCHEF. This week the two culinary powerhouses announced they are extending their partnership with all-new, live, online cooking classes hosted by MASTERCHEF contestants from past seasons.
Adding to the 400+ dining experiences booked to date, the new Eatwith MASTERCHEF virtual format will give fans and home cooks alike a unique opportunity to invite their favorite MASTERCHEF contestants into their kitchens for an interactive, one-on-one cooking session. Participants will get a chance to learn how to cook signature dishes, master exciting new culinary skills and techniques, hear insider stories and more from the comfort of their own homes.
In other words, you can learn to be a master chef, from an actual MASTERCHEF.
“We are excited to refresh our partnership with Eatwith and MASTERCHEF in a brand-new way,” said Amber Sheppo, SVP, Licensing, Endemol Shine North America. “We have enjoyed years of fun, in-person pop-up culinary events with contestants from the series, but given the current environment, we are thrilled that Eatwith is now able to offer these experiences virtually!
“This new online format allows fans across the country to continue to connect with their favorite MASTERCHEF contestant in a more intimate and personal way—learning directly from a real MASTERCHEF.”
Jean-Michel Petit, Co-founder and CEO of Eatwith, says he and his colleagues are looking forward to the new collaboration.
“We are very excited about our partnership with MASTERCHEF to offer fans unique cooking classes with their favorite contestants through this original online format,” said Petit. “We can’t wait for the contestants to share their signature recipes and cooking skills with Eatwith guests across the world.”
Anyone interested in taking part can now go to Eatwith.com and sign up for a MASTERCHEF virtual cooking class hosted by past contestants across the country including:
• Bri Baker (Dallas, TX – Season 10)
• Yachecia Holston (Nashville, TN – Season 8) –
