Episode 5

In this heat, ten chefs plucked from kitchens across Britain arrive at the Masterchef kitchen to face the first of two tests. They must prove to Monica and Gregg that they have skills and palate required to cook for Michel. In today's seven ingredient invention test, the ten chefs must put nerves aside and create a dish from a selection that includes puy lentils, goats cheese and peaches, in just one hour. The pressure is on if they are to impress the palate of Monica and stand a chance of cooking for Michel. For now, they are all safe but tomorrow night five of these ten chefs must return and face their final test before Monica and Gregg decide who will cook for Michel Roux Jr.
