MasterChef: The Professionals Season 4 Episode 1
Legendary double Michelin-starred chef Michel Roux Jr and MasterChef dining expert Gregg Wallace are joined by Michel’s trusted sous chef Monica Galetti as they hunt for Britain’s next culinary superstar who has what it takes to go to the top of the culinary world.
Ten chefs must deal with the pressure of an elimination round. In front of the watching Monica and Gregg, they must earn the right to cook for Michel. In the six-ingredient-invention-test, the ten chefs grapple with their nerves as they have one hour to prove their skill, palate, and creativity, preparing a dish from only six ingredients: duck breast, leeks, blackberries, garlic, thyme and cinnamon. The pressure is on if they are to impress the awesome palate of Michel’s sous chef Monica and stand a chance of cooking for her boss.
For now, they are all safe but in the next episode five of these ten chefs must return and face their final test, before Monica and Gregg decide who will be the first to cook for culinary giant Michel Roux Jnr.
