It's the Professional MasterChef semi-finals. Marcus Wareing, Monica Galetti and Gregg Wallace turn up the heat in their hunt for a future culinary superstar.

The first two semi-finalists battle it out for a place in finals week. The semi-finalists travel to the village of Sparkwell, Devon, to cook alongside a chef who has achieved the very accolade they are both fighting for. In 2012, along with fellow contestant Keri Moss, Anton Piotrowski was crowned Professional MasterChef champion. Last year his pub, the Treby Arms, won its first Michelin star, and has just been voted Country Dining Pub of the Year. Now the semi-finalists are each put in charge of one of his award-winning dishes for a busy lunchtime service. The chefs must quickly adjust to the ferocious pace and high demand and deliver consistently stunning plates of food if they are to maintain the exceptional standards that have won Anton his reputation.

After the exhausting service, the chefs must rise to the challenge once again and cook Anton his very own signature dish - the pigeon wellington that was a triumph on Professional MasterChef. They must remain calm if they want to do justice to the stunning and technically demanding dish that holds a special place in Anton's heart.

Finally, the chefs return to the MasterChef kitchen for the final battle of their semi-final. They have one hour and 45 minutes to cook a flawless main course and dessert for Monica and Marcus. With the stakes so high, it is their most intense cook-off so far. Only the best chef will continue on to finals week and keep alive their dreams of winning the coveted Professional MasterChef 2015 title.
