Amateur cooks compete to be crowned king or queen of all things culinary in Canada by tackling challenges given to them by judges Claudio Aprile, Michael Bonacini and Alvin Leung.

After weeks of grueling challenges, the finalists must show off the culmination of their skills and growth in a three-hour, three-course task.

The contestants are tasked with preparing food for a high-end dinner party for eight culinary insiders.

The judges ask the chefs to pursue the sweet smell of victory with some legendary desserts.

The remaining chefs have just 60 minutes to perfectly replicate a luxurious seafood platter featuring complex components.

The remaining competitors take on the artful cuisine of Japan throughout three gruelling rounds of challenges.
