Episode 4

Four chefs face two challenges in this week's first heat. Marcus and Anna set skills tests involving ravioli and rainbow trout before the chefs prepare their signature menus.

Four new chefs begin their bid for the coveted MasterChef: The Professionals title as they compete in two challenges set by judges Anna Haugh and Marcus Wareing. Only the strongest two chefs will go through to the quarter-final.

The first two chefs face a Skills Test devised by Marcus. He asks them to make ravioli with a cheese and β€˜nduja filling, served with an oregano butter emulsion. Who will have the cookery knowledge and control to plate up a dish full of flavour in just 20 minutes, and who will fold under the pressure?

Anna sets the test for the other two chefs, who must fillet a rainbow trout, cook a portion and serve it with a pea and wild garlic puree.

Then the four contenders have a final chance to impress as they cook a two-course Signature Menu. Now is their time to shine with dishes they have designed and practiced.
