Australia’s top culinary competition continues this Tuesday, July 1, at 7:30 PM AEST on Channel 10, as MasterChef Australia presents its latest Pressure Test. This time, the heat is on with award-winning pastry chef Philip Khoury setting the challenge, and one cook will go home.
Episode 38 of Season 17 puts the remaining contestants through their paces in the dessert kitchen, a notoriously difficult arena for even seasoned chefs. Khoury, known for his intricate and refined pastry work, will surely bring a task designed to push skills to their absolute limit. The goal is simple: impress the judges with their sweet creations or face elimination.
The series has a reputation for these high-stakes challenges, where technique, precision, and a bit of kitchen calm are key to survival. Pastry often sorts the contenders from those who are merely good cooks, and with Khoury’s reputation, viewers should expect nothing less than a difficult test.
