The hunt for the next superstar chef. Professional cooks are put through their paces. Who will cope and who will crack?

E07
It’s the third heat week and time to give four more chefs the opportunity of a lifetime. Landing a place in this week’s quarter-final is their aim, but getting there won’t be easy.
The skills test is the first hurdle. Monica has a brilliant recipe up her sleeve and will be asking the first two chefs to prepare a five-spice duck breast, served with a duck heart skewer and an orange sauce. Speed will be of the essence, as they will have just 20 minutes to prove some top-notch butchery, along with a discerning palate. Marcus sets the next skills test brief, which will see the last two competitors prepare Welsh cakes and serve them with poached plums, a plum syrup and cheese. They will have all the ingredients laid out for them, so even if they’ve never even heard of a Welsh cake, they should be able to work things out. It won’t be easy, though, under the intense glare of the judges. Next, it’s the signature round, where the professionals are under the spotlight with their own food and are expected to seriously shine. Tasked with cooking two courses that sum them up as a chef, these hopefuls need to prove to the judges that they mean business. The judges step up to select the best chefs destined for this week’s quarter-final, leaving the others to find their MasterChef journey has come to an end.

E08
Four more chefs are excited to start their MasterChef journey, which, in this episode, begins with two infamous challenges that will test their ability to cope with the pressure. Those that outshine their competitors will move forward into this week’s quarter-final.
First up, Marcus will ask the first two to cook up a skills test dish of Italian blue cheese gnudi dumplings and serve them with a broccoli soup. All the ingredients are laid out in front of them, but it’s down to the chefs to work out the correct process. A vibrant green soup with firm dumplings that sing of blue cheese needs to bring a smile to the judges’ faces. It’s then down to the last two chefs to show what they are made of, as Monica tasks them with making citrus-cured sea bass tacos with a vegetable garnish and crispy fish skin. They will have to prep the fish and taco shells from scratch as well, meaning time is of the essence. The judges will be expecting moreish tacos that are easy to pick up and bursting with flavour. The signature round is next and might give the chefs the chance to redeem themselves. They have 90 minutes to prepare a main course and a dessert that will be sure to linger in the judges’ memory. With menus influenced from a real variety of food cultures, including Colombian, Brazilian and Japanese, there is potential for taste sensations for Gregg, Marcus and Monica. After this, just one task remains – this time for the judges – to name this week’s best chefs. They will forge their way into the quarter-final and be in with a shot at the MasterChef: The Professionals 2024 title.

E09
It’s quarter-final time, and that can only mean more pressure for this week’s most talented professionals as they return to the kitchen ready to battle for a place in knockout week. Getting there will require oodles of creativity, as well as the perseverance to impress their toughest critics yet. The invention test is their first stop. The chefs will need to create a standout dish featuring the key ingredient, offal, as the star of the show. The larder has been packed with goodies, including chicken livers, sweetbreads, chicken hearts, tripe and tongue, as well as a broad range of fruit, vegetables, herbs and spices. They will have just ten minutes to develop a dish that will tickle the judges’ taste buds, and then 70 minutes to bring their creation to life. The critics round is up next. Jimi Famurewa, Grace Dent and Tom Parker Bowles are back, hoping to sample some exquisite plates of food. Can the professionals reach their high standards, or will the occasion prove too overwhelming? Marcus and Monica will consider the critics’ reviews and reward the best chefs with a place in knockout week as the hunt for this year’s champion continues.
