MasterChef: The Professionals

Episode 7

In the first heat of the week, six professional chefs from across the UK put their reputations on the line. Each professional’s journey begins with the infamous skills test. Marcus kicks off proceedings when the first three chefs have to attempt his croque monsieur. In just 15 minutes they have to show they can muster this classic French sandwich to Michelin-starred standards. The remaining three chefs face a test set by Monica to create a pea risotto. Can the chefs deliver a dish with flavour, flair, and rice with the right bite to put a smile on the judges’ faces?
