The first of a new series for BBC1, Junior MasterChef follows the pattern of its senior counterpart but with children as the contestants. Aged between 10-16, they compete in nine regional finals, three semi-finals and a grand final for the title of Junior MasterChef. All the recipes followed in these heats can be found in the book. Set in the same kitchens as MasterChef, each contestant has to cook two courses a main course and a pudding - for him/herself and an adult - in just 90 minutes. Illustrated with photographs of some of the best dishes, each recipe is laid out using clear, step-by-step instructions, and gives hints and tips for the not-so-experienced cook.
