Don’t worry if you’ve never made pasta before - you’ll be given a recipe and guidance in advance, so this is perfect for beginners as well as confident cooks. 

You’ll get a hands-on experience in a real kitchen setting, and its a great opportunity to meet other students along the way!

Top participants from Round 1 will progress to Round 2, where you’ll create your own dish that showcases your creativity.

From there, the best three cooks will advance to the Final, competing to be crowned the LSE Masterchef winner.

• 1st Place: £160 Dinner Experience
• 2nd Place: £80 Amazon Voucher
• 3rd Place: £60 Amazon Voucher

Whether you’re in it to win or just want to try something new, Round 1 is the perfect place to start. Grab your spot and get cooking!
