Episode 3
Four chefs earn the right to cook for the legendary Michel Roux by demonstrating their expertise with a skills test of boning out an oxtail and a palate test of dressing a salad.
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.
In this heat, four 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 legendary Michel by demonstrating their culinary expertise with a skills test of boning out an oxtail and a palate test of dressing a salad.
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 guinea fowl; then they must recreate two classic dishes of sole duglere and apple beignets with caramel sauce.
Only one chef will make it through to the quarter-final, moving a step closer to winning the title of Professional Masterchef.
