The eight chefs must concoct a dish using a selection of just seven ingredients: sardines, camembert, endive, cucumber, caped gooseberries, pistachios and pomegranate. Monica cooks a dish for Gregg using the same ingredients, in the same amount of time - just one hour - to demonstrate the standard of food she expects.

Then it is the turn of the eight hopeful chefs. They must hold their nerve and take the opportunity to catch the judges' attention from the start - hopefully for the right reasons.

For now they are all safe, but the group will be split in two. In the next stage, the first set of four chefs will return to face further tests - Monica's much feared Skills Test followed by Michel Roux Jr's demanding Classics challenges. After this both Monica and Michel decide who has earned a place in the quarter-finals and who will be leaving the competition for good.
