Episode 2

Legendary double Michelin-starred chef Michel Roux Jnr and vegetable expert and Masterchef veteran Gregg Wallace are joined by Michel's trusted sous chef Monica Galetti as they hunt for a young chef who can make it to the top of the culinary world.

The three chefs who earnt the right to cook for the legendary Michel face one final test: to recreate two classic dishes of steak with Bearnaise sauce and cannoli, an Italian pastry.

Only one of them will make it through to the quarter-final, moving one step closer to winning the title of Professional Masterchef.

Then, four new chefs face a nail-biting elimination round. In front of the watching Monica and Gregg, they have to earn the right to cook for the double Michelin-starred Michel by demonstrating their culinary expertise with a skills test of turning artichokes and a palate test of cooking a rump steak.

Our remaining three chefs then face two more gruelling tests for an expectant Michel and Gregg: first they must make two dishes in 50 minutes from the central ingredient of sea bass, then they must recreate two classic dishes of ravioli and pears poached in red wine with Chantilly cream.

Only one of them will join the earlier winner in the quarter-final, inching a step closer to winning the coveted title of Professional Masterchef.
