Legendary double Michelin-starred chef Michel Roux Jr and Masterchef dining expert Gregg Wallace are joined by Michel's sous chef Monica Galetti, as they hunt for a young chef who has what it takes to go to the top of the culinary world. In this one-hour show, eight more chefs must deal with the pressure of a nail-biting elimination round. In front of the watching Monica and Gregg, they have to earn the right to cook for the legendary Michel. In the first part, the four chefs must demonstrate they have the necessary skills and palate by preparing and cooking scallops with a beurre blanc; in the second they must correctly cook a souffle with caramel sauce. At the end of it, one chef from each task will be going home. The three remaining chefs from each part must then face one more gruelling elimination challenge. Michel cooks a classic dessert of sesame crisp marinated grapes and tipsy cream, before asking the chefs to recreate the dish in just 60 minutes. Next, Michel cooks a classic blanquette de volaille. The two best chefs from each part make it through to the quarter-final and a step closer to winning the title of Professional Masterchef.
