It’s fair to say – there’s been some exceptional cooking so far in this year’s series of Masterchef: The Professionals. Eight extremely good chefs were left in the competition at the beginning of the week, and although we lost two in the first episode, the remaining six were rewarded with a chance to cook for two great British chefs we know very well indeed – Michael Caines at Lympstone Manor in Exmouth and Paul Ainsworth at Number 6 in Padstow.
If things seemed full on until now, the pressure is about to crank up to another level. Cooking for Monica and Marcus is one thing, but when the chefs join a real brigade and have to take responsibility for a dish being served to paying guests, it’s another thing entirely. All our chefs followed that up with another cook-off in the MasterChef kitchen, and by the end of the week, six became four, and we were left with our finalists. Read on for a few things we learnt from this week’s action.
