E1Episode 1The mentors sample the cooking of 25 hopefuls - ranging from talented amateurs to professionals from some of Britain's best restaurants. Each of them must deliver just one spoonful of food that will showcase their talent and earn them a spot on the show. Where they're from and how they're trained doesn't matter - only those who can deliver a mouthful of sensational flavour will make the cut. - Episode 2E2
Episode 2The three mentors get to witness their hand-picked contestants in action for the first time. Richard Corrigan sets and judges a 'classic' challenge, where the mentors have to coach their cooks to create the best prawn cocktail. In the elimination challenge, the contestants are on their own as the mentors return to the role of judges. At the end of the show one of them is eliminated. - Episode 5E5
Episode 5The cooks keep it in the family, making recipes passed down through the generations. Emotions run high as the contestants try to do their mums, dads, grandparents and godparents proud.

Episode 8This week is all about meat, and features the master of 'nose to tail' cooking Fergus Henderson as guest chef. To progress to the semi-final the cooks have to prove they can make exceptional food from the very finest cuts of meat and from the 'forgotten cuts', like bone marrow and tripe.
