Episode 7

Legendary double Michelin-starred chef Michel Roux Jnr and vegetable expert and Masterchef veteran Gregg Wallace are on the hunt for a young chef who wants to make it to the top of the culinary world.

The three chefs who earned the right to cook for Michel face one final test: to recreate two classic dishes of coq au vin and plum clafoutis. Only one of them will make it through to the quarter-final.

Then, four new chefs face a nail-biting elimination round. In front of Monica Galetti and Gregg, they have to earn the right to cook for Michel by demonstrating their culinary expertise with a skills test of jointing a chicken and a palate test of making goujons.

The three remaining professionals then face two more gruelling tests for Michel and Gregg. First, they must make two dishes in 50 minutes from the central ingredient of lamb rump, then they must recreate two classic dishes of soupe a l'oignon and roule marquis.

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.
