It is day four of MasterChef: The Professionals 2014 and the first five chefs of week 2 enter thhe kitchen looking to book a place in the quarter-finals.

However, they must first convince judges Marcus Wareing, Monica Galetti and food critic Gregg Wallace that they are worthy of such a place.

The five chefs are:
Jamie 23, from Plymouth
Sam 25, from Leicestershire
John 29, from Edinburgh
Mark 28, from Cardiff
Sven 25, London.

Jamie, Sam, John, Mark and Sven begin their bid for the coveted title with a total of three daunting tests to determine who is good enough to progress to the next round, and who must be sent home.
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 (classically preparing a woodcock for roasting), followed by Marcus Wareing’s Invention Test before one or more is sent home.
