The Top 12 home cooks face their first mystery box challenge, which includes a treasured and meaningful kitchen item to provide them with inspiration.
In the first team challenge of the season, the home cooks receive patriotic red and white aprons as they cook for 105 new Canadians following their citizenship ceremony.
The Top 10 are blindfolded and work in pairs to replicate a seven-layer birthday cake in honor of Canada's 150th birthday. The duos also must decipher the flavor of each layer before they re-create the cake.
The final elimination challenge of the season will determine who makes it to the finale. The home cooks have to take one luxury ingredient and create a dish using it three different ways.
The remaining home cooks face off as they create 3 courses in 3 hours.
