MasterChef: The Professionals

The first challenge faced by the eight chefs is cooking against each other to create a dish dedicated to someone who has inspired them in life. In just one hour and 45 minutes they must deliver a perfect plate of food that showcases their personality and style, and sets them apart from the other chefs, with the judges deciding who makes it through to the next round. The remaining chefs then face an invention test, which sees them each tasked with creating their own unique dish which celebrates the fresh and light ingredients on offer - and this time, there's no meat or fish for them to choose from. After this hard-fought battle, two chefs are asked to leave the competition.
