Masterchef: The Professionals - Series 3 - Episode 11

Legendary double Michelin-starred chef Michel Roux Jnr and Masterchef judge 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. Eight more chefs must deal with the pressure of a nail-biting elimination round. In front of the watching Monica and Gregg they have to earn the right to cook for Michel. In the first part, four chefs must demonstrate they have the necessary skills and palate by filleting and cooking a John Dory; in the second another four must correctly make steak tartare with a poached egg. At the end of it one chef from each task will go home. The three remaining chefs from each then face one more gruelling elimination challenge. Michel cooks a classic recipe of cabri a la Provencal, before asking the chefs to recreate the dish in just 60 minutes. In the second, Michel cooks a classic nougatine basket fillet with fruit, Chantilly cream and topped with spun sugar. The two best chefs from each part make it through to the quarter-final and a step closer to winning the title of Professional Masterchef.
