Legendary Kiwi chef Josh Emett will be joining judges Simon Gault and Ray McVinnie for series two of MasterChef New Zealand.
Emett, a guest chef in series one of MasterChef New Zealand, is no stranger to pressure in the kitchen.
He has run restaurants for Gordon Ramsay in London, New York, Los Angeles and now Melbourne where he has opened Ramsay's first two restaurants in Australia.
"New Zealand is a nation of great amateur chefs, I am delighted to be coming back home to take part in MasterChef New Zealand and have the opportunity to meet a batch of motivated new chefs," he said.
"But there will be no room for jokers, I am looking for dedication, determination and discipline."
Series One judge Ross Burden decided to step out of the kitchen for series two to concentrate on his law degree.
"I have had a blast on MasterChef New Zealand, I met some truly great budding chefs and hope to see them go on to do great things," Burden said.
Applications are open to take part in series two at tvnz.co.nz/masterchef
