Search is on for Irish MasterChef

MAD about mussels or simply cracked on cooking? If you have a flair for food, it’s time to warm the oven and put the TV on because RTÉ is trawling for Ireland’s next celebrity chef.

The iconic MasterChef is coming here and the search is on for amateur cooks to take part in the first series of MasterChef Ireland.

The judges will be chef Dylan McGrath and restaurateur Nick Munier. McGrath won his first Michelin star at 30 while Munier is a Dublin restaurateur working with some of the world’s best chefs.
