The week's six best chefs must create a dish of their own invention.

Cookery challenge. It is quarter-final day, and the week's six best chefs must prove to Michel and Gregg they have what it takes by creating a dish of their own invention.

It's quarter final day on Professional MasterChef. Double Michelin starred Michel Roux Junior and MasterChef judge Gregg Wallace crank up the pressure as they hunt for Britain's next culinary superstar. 

For the week's six best chefs this is where the battle really begins. First they must prove to Michel and Gregg they have what it takes with a dish of their own invention. Choosing from a beautiful array of fresh produce including pollock, partridge, bream, mascarpone and raspberries they must blow the judges away with just one course. Only the best four chefs will go on to showcase their skill to three of the UK's most experienced restaurant critics.
  
The critics will be expecting two exceptional courses and the chefs have only an hour and a quarter to produce an outstanding menu that will decide their MasterChef future. Only the two most skilful chefs will go through to the semi-finals and continue in the fight to become this year's Professional MasterChef.
