Episode 1 (2021)
The four competitors in the first heat are challenged to prepare bangers and mash served with beer & onion gravy, with only 20 minutes to complete a dish that is not as simple as it looks. Judges Monica Galetti, Gregg Wallace and Marcus Wareing will pick the two best efforts, and set a second challenge for the cooks who made them - serving up monkfish with a pea and bacon ragout
Episode 2 (2021)
The four chefs from heat one return for their second challenge, in which they must demonstrate their own unique style by preparing a mains and dessert of their own choosing. Judges Marcus Wareing, Monica Galetti and Gregg Wallace will then decide who will go through to the next round and who will be the first to leave.
Episode 3 (2021)
Four more seasoned chefs compete, with only two able to proceed into the week's quarter-final. The infamous Skills Test returns as, under the watchful eyes of judges Marcus Wareing, Monica Galetti and Gregg Wallace, the first two chefs take on Marcus' test of pan-fried scallops, cauliflower Velouté, croutons and a curry butter. The second test, set by Monica, sees the final two chefs create a chocolate crème pâtissière filled Swiss roll served with a raspberry sauce. The final challenge sees the chefs produce two standout signature dishes - a main and a dessert.
Episode 4 (2021)
Seasoned chefs compete in the first quarter-final, initially presented with the taxing task of creating an outstanding dish using preserved and tinned food. They must then cook for three of the UK's most discerning restaurant critics, needing to win over the praise of Jimi Famurewa, William Sitwell and Tracy Macleod. With the pressure on to impress the critics and judges Marcus Wareing, Monica Galetti and Gregg Wallace, they have 75 minutes to showcase a two-course menu. Only the two most talented contenders will go through to the semi-finals.
Episode 5 (2021)
Four more professional chefs arrive to make their mark in the MasterChef kitchen. Monica Galetti sets the first test - a pasta challenge where two chefs must make agnolotti filled with burrata and sundried tomatoes, served with a pea and mint pesto. The technique of rolling and filling the perfect pasta pillows requires accuracy and precision. Will they be able to keep calm and deliver, or will nerves overcome them? Next, it's Marcus Wareing's test. Two chefs need to prepare pan-fried calves liver with potato cake and walnut beurre noisette. The chefs can't take their eye off the ball during these crucial 20 minutes or they risk overcooking the liver.
