The sixth season of MasterChef Canada aired its special 2-hour season premiere on April 8, 2019 on CTV, concluding on June 10, 2019 with Jennifer Crawford of Kingston, Nova Scotia crowned as the winner and Andre Bhagwandat of Scarborough, Ontario finishing as the runner-up.
[1][2] Runner-up Andre Bhagwandat, who finished second place returned to MasterChef Canada: Back to Win.
As Season 5 winner Beccy Stables made her return to the MasterChef kitchen, the home cooks were tasked to elevate their favorite dish from their teenage years.
Alyssa, Jennifer, Cryssi, Jenny and Chanelle chose to take a risk with the secret box, which contained largely exotic ingredients including black cod, escarole, passion fruit and tamarind paste.
Jenny, Alyssa, Rozin and Tony were brought back into the MasterChef Canada kitchen and subjected to a series of challenges involving knife skills; after each, one of the four would be eliminated, and the last cook standing would rejoin the competition.
Redemption Challenge Part 1: The four home cooks' skills in using a chef's knife were tested by having to julienne cut red onions, sweet peppers, zucchinis, carrots, and mangos to make an Asian rice noodle salad with Thai chilli vinaigrette in 14 minutes.
Due to poor time management, Alyssa presented a salad that was missing various components, resulting in her permanent elimination.
Mystery Box 4: The Top 5 home cooks were faced with a giant mystery box where their loved ones were waiting inside: Jennifer's boyfriend, Cryssi's sister, Chanelle's husband, Josh's wife, and Andre's aunt.
After tasting all the dishes, the judges decided that Andre and his aunt were the winners of the Mystery Box, earning him an advantage in the elimination challenge.
Each team had to create a three course menu consisting of three dishes that honor the Three Sisters ingredients: corn in the appetizer, beans in the entree, and squash in the dessert.
