Ep.2 Masterchef: The Professionals (2011)

Five of the ten chefs return to face Monica and Gregg in a skills test before the judges must decide who will be eliminated. Only the best four chefs will cook for legendary Michel Roux Jnr.

For the skills test, Monica asks them to demonstrate their ability to spin sugar and decorate a trio of pannacotta in three different ways. With only 10 minutes in hand to complete it, the heat is on. At the end, Monica and Gregg must decide who will be leaving the competition.

The pressure now mounts as the four remaining chefs must raise their game for Michelin starred legend Michel Roux Jnr. Michel cooks a classic recipe of mackerel three ways, 'Trio de maquereaux', which is made up of an escabeche, a tartare and a sashimi, before asking the chefs to recreate the dish in just 60 minutes. To achieve such intricate presentation, fine flavours, and attention to detail the chefs will have to dig deep to impress.

Then, they are asked to prepare their own classic dish for Michel and Gregg in just one hour. With so much at stake, nerves are running high. After judging each plate on presentation and flavour Michel and Gregg will send one more chef home.

The best three remaining chefs will go through to the quarter final and move a step closer to winning the title of Professional MasterChef.

Some of these spun sugar decorations were facepalm dreadful considering they are professional chefs. I would definitely not serve them to Michel!

Caramel drizzled over as the third decoration!

@edhunley

Competition in the food industry at the highest level is much more intense in France, so he probably thinks he's got a far better chance to cut it in the UK.

My guess though, maybe it's got to do with something else like a GF or maybe a BF (you have to put it he looks a tat gayish)

cheers

I don't understand why Sebastian would move from France to UK to be a chef?

@samreid43504350 Exactly! He should just keep his big mouth shut! He needs to learn how to present a show like this from Padma Lakshmi
