Episode 1

Ellie Taylor and Liam Charles welcome a new batch of professional pastry chefs from hotels, restaurants and patisserie shops around the UK to compete for the title. To get things rolling, judges Cherish Finden and Benoit Blin have a French classic up their sleeve in a secret challenge for the teams, and without proper recipes to hand, the chefs must rely on their knowledge and teamwork to create 36 individual tarte aux fraise and one chocolate amenity in just three and a half hours.
