BBC One - MasterChef: The Professionals, Series 3, Episode 14

The semi-final continues as the chefs are sent to cook in Michelin-starred restaurants.

Cookery challenge hosted by Michel Roux Jr and Gregg Wallace. The semi-final week continues as the chefs are split into pairs and sent to cook in Michelin-starred restaurants.

Double Michelin-starred chef Michel Roux Jr and Masterchef judge Gregg Wallace are on the hunt for a young chef who wants to make it to the top of the culinary world.

The semi-final week continues; over the next two nights the remaining six chefs will be split into pairs and battle it out head-to-head for a place in the final. Each pair will be sent to one of Britain's most famous Michelin-starred restaurants, and first up in this programme is the 1 Michelin-starred The Kitchin.
 
First, the two chefs must cook a busy lunch service under chef patron Tom Kitchin, who was awarded a Michelin star in 2007. They have only two hours to perfect Tom's dishes before preparing them for customers and possible Michelin inspectors. Once they have finished service, the two chefs must recreate Tom's Michelin-starred signature dish for judgement by the chef himself.

Then it is back to the MasterChef HQ where, inspired by their time at The Kitchin, the two chefs face a sudden death cook-off when they have to create two perfect dishes in one hour to show Michel and Gregg exactly what they have learnt. Only one chef can become a finalist - the other will be going home.

The second pair of remaining semi finalists must cook a busy lunch service at the 2 Michelin-starred The Dining Room at Whatley Manor, under the recently named Chef of the Year, chef patron Martin Burge. They have only two hours to perfect Martin's dishes before preparing them for customers. Once they have finished service, the two chefs must recreate Martin's Michelin-starred signature dish for judgement by the chef himself. The following night sees them back at MasterChef headquarters for a sudden death cook-off. At the end of it one chef from this pair will a finalist - the other will be going home.
