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.

The four chefs must first show Monica and Gregg they have the necessary skills and palate by French trimming a rack of lamb before cooking it perfectly. At the end of it one will be going home.

The three remaining chefs must then face one more gruelling elimination challenge. Michel cooks a classic recipe of mussel soup served with breaded mussels and julienne leeks and carrots before asking the chefs to recreate the dish in just 60 minutes. After judging each plate on presentation and flavour, Michel and Gregg will send one more chef home.

The two remaining chefs will make it through to the quarter-final and a step closer to winning the title of Professional Masterchef.
