The first semi-final of the tournament sees our cooks tackling the ancient tradition of Peka in the Croatian historic city of Dubrovnik - otherwise know as the 'Pearl of the Adriatic'. Featuring Fred, Emma and guest Crystelle Pereira and Lucija Tomašić Šarić.

Our second group of semi-finalists travel to vibrant Crete, the largest island in Greece, where they will battle it out for the remaining place in the final. Antikristo and tzoulamas are the order of the day, each presenting their own unique challenges. Featuring Fred, Emma, Akis Petretzikis and guest judges Atul Kochhar and Panagiotis Magganas.

We conclude in the stunning resort of Khao Lak, Thailand where our remaining contestants' paths cross.
