Episode 17

Finals week continues with the final four chefs challenged to prepare dishes for eight of the most respected chefs in the UK.

Finals week continues with only four chefs remaining. In this penultimate round, they are fighting to secure their place in the final three by preparing a menu for some of the most respected chefs in the UK: Aktar Islam, Matt AbΓ©, Sally AbΓ©, Michael Caines, Jun Tanaka, Niall Keating, Daniel Clifford and Anna Haugh. Each chef is responsible for one of the courses, with three hours and 15 minutes to create a spectacular dish and get it to the pass ready to serve. This challenge is all about showing their personal flair, precision, timing and immaculate presentation - nothing can go amiss in this round, as the smallest thing will be noticed.

This is followed by a round that is all about passion, as the chefs have one hour and 45 minutes to cook a dish dedicated to someone special. The dish needs to combine all their best attributes and skills and deliver a special culinary experience for the judges. For one of our gifted chefs it will be their last dish of the competition, as the judges decide which three continue on to cook in the final round.
