All four contenders will then have a final chance to make their mark as they cook their own two-course Signature Menu. They have just one hour and 30 minutes to pull out all the stops and show what makes them stand out from the crowd.
Only the two best chefs will go on to this week’s quarter-final and continue in the race to become MasterChef: The Professionals champion 2023.
