"Fox has ordered a second season of Gordon Ramsay&amp;#039;s MasterChef. The cooking competition - which gives amateur chefs across America the chance to secure a cookbook deal, cash prize and follow their culinary dreams - will return for a sophomore outing next year.  &amp;quot;It&amp;#039;s amazing and refreshing to see how much passion and raw talent there is from amateur home cooks across America. It&amp;#039;s extraordinary the amount of energy and excitement the show brought in season one, and I&amp;#039;m thrilled to be back at Fox for a second season,&amp;quot; said Ramsay. &amp;quot;Gordon Ramsay is an incredible talent and the biggest culinary star on television today, so we&amp;#039;re very happy to have Gordon and MasterChef back for another season on Fox,&amp;quot; said Mike Darnell, the network&amp;#039;s president of alternative entertainment.  &amp;quot;MasterChef has resonated with viewers this summer, and we look forward to seeing where Gordon takes the show in season two.&amp;quot; The winner of the programme - which also features Joe Bastianich and Graham Elliot as judges - receives the title of &amp;#039;America&amp;#039;s Best Home Cook&amp;#039;, a cookbook publishing deal and a $250,000 prize. MasterChef continues tonight at 8/7c on Fox, with the season finale airing September 15.  "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
