Four new chefs are required to fillet a mackerel and cook one of the fillets.

The three chefs who earnt the right to cook for chef Michel Roux Jnr face one final test. Then, four new chefs tackle a skills test and a palate test in the elimination round.

Legendary double Michelin-starred chef Michel Roux Jnr and vegetable expert and Masterchef veteran Gregg Wallace, joined by Michel's trusted sous chef Monica Galetti, hunt for a young chef who wants to make it to the top of the culinary world.

The three chefs who earnt the right to cook for Michel face one final test: to recreate two classic dishes of poulet aux morilles and a far Breton. Only one of them will make it through to the quarter-final.

Then, four new chefs face a nail-biting elimination round. In front of Monica and Gregg, they have to earn the right to cook for Michel by demonstrating their culinary expertise with a skills test of filleting a mackerel and a palate test of cooking one of the fillets.

The remaining three chefs then face two more gruelling tests for an expectant Michel and Gregg. First they must make two dishes in 50 minutes from the central ingredient of wood pigeon, then they must recreate two classic dishes of roast leg of lamb and creamed rice pudding.
