Episode 14

Overview

It's the semi-finals. Marcus Wareing and Monica Galetti send the first two talented semi-finalists to Mayfair's Connaught Hotel to experience service in the two-Michelin-starred kitchen of exceptional French chef Helene Darroze. With a successful Michelin-starred restaurant in Paris already, in 2011 Helene brought her acclaimed food across the channel, and is now one of only nine establishments in the capital to hold two stars. The semi-finalists must quickly adjust to cooking at the highest level in Helene's concentrated and largely silent kitchen, as they each take responsibility for one of the unique, precise dishes on her lunch menu.
