MasterChef Canada (season 4)

Mystery Box 1: This Mystery Box contained a piece of kitchen equipment used by the home cook in their own homes. The top three dishes were Aaron's, Miranda's and Trevor's. Trevor was declared as the winner of the Mystery Box.

Team Challenge 1: For this team challenge, the cooks were tasked to cook a buffet lunch for new Canadian citizens. Each team had to create one curry and one noodle dish (one of which must be vegetarian) with a salad side for the guests. Justine and Miranda were the Red and White Team captains respectively. Justine chose Trevor, Aaron, Jordan and Alisha for her Red Team. Miranda chose Mai, Matt, Thea and Kimberly for her White Team. The judges give Barrie the option to choose which team to join. Barrie chooses to join Justine's Red Team. Justine's Red Team was declared as the winner.

Team Challenge 2: The Top 10 cooks were put in pairs where they are required to replicate a seven-layer birthday cake (4 sponges with 3 types of icing) in honor of Canada's upcoming 150th birthday. The pairs were Justine and Matt; Miranda and Aaron; Barrie and Alisha; Trevor and Thea; and Mai and Jordan. The cooks tasted the cake blind-folded to identify the ingredients used in the cake and then baked it. The judges decided that Justine and Matt produced the best replication.

Team Challenge 3: The Top 9 were divided into three teams and challenged to create gourmet burgers and fries for a group of hungry motorcycle enthusiasts. Aaron chose Trevor and Thea for his Red Team. Alisha chose Matt and Barrie for her Blue Team, while Mai chose Justine and Miranda for her Green Team. The winning team with the most sales will be safe from the pressure test. Mai's Green Team was declared as the winner in a close result by beating Alisha's Blue Team by 8 orders.

Mystery Box 2: The theme of this Mystery Box featured Italian and Mediterranean ingredients. Chef Jamie Oliver made a special appearance in the MasterChef kitchen. He also announced that the winner of this Mystery Box will also have his/her appetizer dish featured in the menu of Jamie's Italian Canada. The top three dishes were Barrie's, Trevor's and Thea's. Thea was declared as the winner of the Mystery Box.

Skills Test, Part 1: The Top 6 home cooks were shocked to learn that a special redemption challenge has taken place outside the MasterChef kitchen as Alice returned to the competition after competing against Justine and Matt (See MasterChef Canada: Redemption). Now, the 7 home cooks will face a series of pressure tests featuring egg as the main ingredient that gets progressively more challenging. The cooks had to battle for survival to progress to the next stage of the competition. The first pressure test featured Scotch egg. Barrie produced the best dish, and is sent to safety. Aaron and Thea have also done enough to be made safe.

Skills Test, Part 2: Alice, Miranda, Mai and Trevor now faced the next pressure test which featured Eggs Benedict. Mai and Trevor both produced dishes that are enough to be made safe, leaving Alice and Miranda to face the final pressure test.

Team Challenge 4: The Top 6 faced the annual restaurant takeover in Michael Bonacini's iconic Auberge du Pommier, an Oliver & Bonacini restaurant. Barrie and Aaron were the captains of the Red and Blue Team respectively. Barrie chose Trevor and Mai, while Aaron chose Thea and Miranda. The teams had to prepare two appetizers (an artichoke salad and a duck consommé en croute) and two entrees (a beef tenderloin dish and a ham-wrapped monkfish dish). The judges received feedback from their valued guests during service, and in the end, they decided that Barrie's Red Team was the winning team.

Mystery Box 3: In this challenge, the Top 5 cooks were shown the judges' favorite techniques in cooking salmon: glazed, encrusted and poached. The cooks will then use one of these techniques to create a delicious salmon dish. The winner will receive a huge advantage in the elimination challenge. In a random draw, Miranda and Trevor selected "glazed", Barrie picked "encrusted", and Mai and Thea selected "poached". In the end, the best three salmon dishes were Miranda's, Trevor's and Barrie's. Miranda was declared as the winner of the Mystery Box.

Team Challenge 5: The Top 4 home cooks arrived at a picturesque Ontario orchard to compete in their final Team Challenge. The home cooks were then surprised by their loved ones, and tasked to create an elegant family dinner that showcases the autumn harvest. Having created the best dish in the last elimination challenge, Barrie was given the option of choosing his partner. He chose Trevor, forming the Red Team, which left Mai and Thea to form the Blue Team. In the end, Barrie and Trevor were deemed as the winner of the challenge, securing their spots in the Top 3.

Individual Challenge: Trevor, Barrie and Thea were tasked to create a mélange of pastries in two hours to be served to the judges and 45 guests (11 pastry chefs and children). Some of their dishes had minor flaws but the judges, the chefs and the children voted Barrie as the winner of this challenge.
