MasterChef: The Professionals

Episode 12

The three chefs who earnt the right to cook for Michel face one final test: to recreate two classic dishes of poulet aux morilles and a far Breton. Only one of them will make it through to the quarter-final. Then, four new chefs face a nail-biting elimination round. In front of Monica and Gregg, they have to earn the right to cook for Michel by demonstrating their culinary expertise with a skills test of filleting a mackerel and a palate test of cooking one of the fillets. The remaining three chefs then face two more gruelling tests for an expectant Michel and Gregg. First they must make two dishes in 50 minutes from the central ingredient of wood pigeon, then they must recreate two classic dishes of roast leg of lamb and creamed rice pudding.
