Episode 16

As finals week begins, the six remaining chefs must come up with their own twists on classic dishes including rabbit in mustard sauce and bouillabaisse with a rouille sauce.

Only the six most talented chefs remain as the competition reaches finals week. They now face their hardest tasks, including the infamous Chef’s Table, where they face the scrutiny of some of the UK’s most respected chefs.

Before that is the final invention test, where they must produce their take on a classic dish. Split into two groups of three, they have just one hour and 15 minutes to come up with a twist on rabbit in mustard sauce and bouillabaisse with a rouille and a crouton. The chef who presents the finest dish in each of the groups will be rewarded with a pass straight through to the final four.

The remaining chefs cook-off for a place in the final four in another classics challenge. This time, it's their take on a classic dessert, with their pastry skills being tested. Once again, the best two chefs will win places in the final four, while it will be the end of the road for the other two.
