Alex, Daniel, Jamie, Sean and George cook and preparing a pork belly for survival on day five of MasterChef The Professionals 2014

It is day five of MasterChef: The Professionals 2014 and the second five chefs of week 2 enter the kitchen to showcase their cooking skills.

However, Chefs Marcus Wareing, Monica Galetti and food critic Gregg Wallace will sort out the wheat from the chaff as they decide who is good enough to make the quarter finals and who will get their bus fare home.

The five chefs are:
Alex 29, from London
Daniel 25, from Newcastle
Jamie 27, from St Andrews
Sean 27, from Malta
George 23, from Cambridgeshire.

Alex, Daniel, Jamie, Sean and George begin their bid for the coveted MasterChef: The Professionals title with a total of three daunting tests to prove themselves to the judges.

Cooking in a brand new MasterChef kitchen, the first challenge they face is the Signature Dish Test. The five chefs have one hour to cook one plate of food that showcases just what they can do, before one must leave.

The four remaining chefs must then take on Monica’s Skills Test (demonstrate their butchery skills by preparing a pork belly for roasting), followed by Marcus Wareing’s Invention Test before one or more is sent home.
