Only the most exceptional chefs can make it through to the semi-finals and move a step closer to the coveted title of Professional MasterChef 2014. Sitting in judgement of their culinary abilities are critics Tracey MacLeod, Jay Rayner and William Sitwell. With a semi-final place at stake, the chefs have an hour and 15 minutes to create a stunning two-course menu which will determine their MasterChef future.
Next, the chefs face the terrifying task of showcasing their skill to three of the UK's hardest-to-please restaurant critics. It's a daunting challenge but the price is high - after judging their dishes, Marcus and Monica will decide who is worthy of continuing in the competition. Their ingredients include bones and offcuts, fish skin, overripe fruits, cooked rice, cheese and stale bread. Whilst the chefs are used to cooking with the finest ingredients, they are instead faced with the kitchen scraps and trimmings, from which our judges expect them to create one course that truly impresses. The chefs' first challenge is the Invention Test - this one will push them to their limits. Two Michelin-starred chef Marcus Wareing, the formidable Monica Galetti and MasterChef's seasoned diner Gregg Wallace push the professional chefs to the limits as they hunt for Britain's next culinary superstar. Only the ten best chefs can go on to battle for the title of Professional MasterChef.It's quarter-final day. In the most pressured hour and a half of their lives, the four remaining chefs must cook their showstopper dish, knowing nothing less that perfection is necessary if they want to survive. Marcus, Monica and Gregg choose the best eight chefs to go straight through, leaving the four weakest to cook off in a fight for one of two remaining places in the competition. In two hours they need to deliver one dish that stands out from the crowd and proves to judges that they have a future in the competition. As well as having to think on their feet and show off their creativity, their skills and judgment are tested to the limit. They must go back to basics using just the hobs and ovens - and their chef's intuition - to cook their dishes. The 12 chefs have an abundant selection of meat and fish, fruit and vegetables and herbs and spices to choose from, but this time all the modern machines have been removed from the MasterChef kitchen. Their fate now rests in the hands of the infamous Invention Test.
After four weeks of fierce competition only the 12 best chefs remain, and the battle is on as they come together for the first time to cook off against each other. Two Michelin-starred Marcus Wareing, formidable chef Monica Galetti and MasterChef's seasoned diner Gregg Wallace step up the pressure in their search for a culinary talent exceptional enough to take the coveted title.
