Episode 18

Four new chefs tackle a skills test and a palate test in the elimination round, with the top three required to make two dishes from the central ingredient of best end of lamb.

Legendary double Michelin-starred chef Michel Roux Jnr and vegetable expert and Masterchef veteran Gregg Wallace are joined by Michel's trusted sous chef Monica Galetti as they hunt for a young chef who can make it to the top of the culinary world.

Four chefs face a nail-biting elimination round. In front of Monica and Gregg, they have to earn the right to cook for the legendary Michel by demonstrating their culinary expertise with a skills test of filleting a bream and a palate test of cooking one of the fillets.

The remaining three professionals then face two more gruelling tests for Michel and Gregg. First, they must make two dishes in 50 minutes from the central ingredient of best end of lamb, then they must recreate two classic dishes of consomme and a vanilla studded baked pineapple.

Only one will make it through to the quarter-final, moving a step closer to winning the title of Professional Masterchef.
