Be the MasterChef
Together we’ll turn food into fundraising
Get cooking for your friends, family and colleagues, then brave their judgement MasterChef-style.
Whether you throw a dinner party, sell your best bakes, or take in lunch for your colleagues, we’ve got everything you need to turn your fun foodie fundraiser into a MasterChef experience
Let’s cook!
Ready to feel the heat of the kitchen?
Whether you’re a novice or a budding pro, our Be the MasterChef kit is filled with free ideas, inspiration and goodies to make your fundraiser feel one step closer to the MasterChef kitchen
Now follow these easy steps
Step 1
Decide what, who and when
Who do you want to attempt your MasterChef skills for? Will you throw a dinner party for friends and ask them to donate the price of their favourite takeaway? Could you take lunch to work for your colleagues and get them to give the price of their usual lunch? Or will you bake and sell your goodies to raise some dough?
Decide whether you want to get competitive and pit your skills against your crew, or simply serve up delicious food to raise money.
Make your call, name the date and invite people along. There are posters and invitations in our Be the MasterChef pack.
Step 2
What’s on the menu?
We have lots of recipes for you to try, kindly donated by MasterChef winners and DK books. Or pick recipes of your own.
Will you stay within your comfort zone or take on a challenge to see if you can really impress?
Step 3
Set the stage & fundraise
On the big day, we’ve got everything you need to bring the fun to your foodie fundraiser. Channel the MasterChef judges to critique each other’s creations using our printable John & Gregg masks; download score cards, winner’s certificates and more in our Be the MasterChef kit.
Download a Pudsey moneybox to collect cash or set up a fundraising page to make collecting donations super-easy.
Step 4
Share your creations with the world
