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.
