Episode 13

Ten contenders compete in the semi-finals. They must create showstopping dishes based on their favourite food memories.

As the semi-finals begin, only ten chefs are left standing. Tonight, they cook off against each other for the first time, all fighting to keep alive their hopes of being crowned MasterChef: the Professionals champion 2022.

First, the chefs must each create a showstopping dish based on their favourite food memory. They have one hour and 20 minutes to showcase their creativity, skill and flair in a dish inspired by a time in their lives when food was especially important to them.

The ten are split into two groups for the cooking, but ultimately are all competing against each other. They must aim for perfection, as only the five strongest contenders will go straight through to the next round.

The other five will have to cook again in an Invention Test round. Given a selection of the leftovers from the previous challenge, they have one hour and 30 minutes to produce a dish that wows the judges and secures their place in the competition. Who will be able to pick themselves up, think on their feet and deliver a plate of food that proves they have what it takes? At the end of this round, two contenders will be eliminated from the competition.
