Test their skills cuz we have got the  most extraordinary challenge yet it’s   amazing to be part of the final Trav I  can’t believe that I’ve got this far to f I don’t think I’ve ever committed myself  to anything so greatly in my life no one  

Wants to go home everyone is fighting so  hard to stay here the more I stay in the   competition the more I think actually do  you know what I can do this I can win this   competition I’m not here for a day out  I got a lot more trick obious [Music]

Sleep today we are running  a restaurant service in this kitchen I we in the pass and Greg will be hosting  the dinner in the dining room it’s a tough test but what makes  it really hard are the people you’re   cooking for you are cooking for all  the winners and finalist of Master

Chef people that have been here  before who have done it whatever   we asked of them they delivered whatever we  set they exceeded this is what we want from you ladies and gentlemen you go outside get your   chef’s spes on you’re about  to enter the world of the professional

Whoa okay what do you reckon 12 amateurs me in  the middle and you guys out in the dining room   with the winners from Master cheef do you  think I’m okay well if you have any issues  

I can sing a couple of songs out there and  give you a bit of time thanks I might need it it’s one thing cooking for a few friends  and family at home it’s a totally different   thing cooking with John on the past that’s  ridiculous I have cooked for for about 20  

Children all at once and I’m sorry but jont  Ro can’t be nearly as demanding as they can   I’ve been a waitress once or twice but I’ve  never cooked in that environment I think   this is going to be unlike anything I’ve ever  experienced before I don’t want to stand here  

Grinning like a village idiot but this is one  of the best tests we have ever come up [Music] with now it’s up to you your own food you have  1 hour and 30 minutes to prepare and when   I call the order from that pass you’ll  have just 30 minutes to get your food

Up if it ain’t on the pass in 30 minutes I  tell you what hell is going to be let loose at the end of this two of you will be going home ladies and Gentlemen let’s cook the 12 contestants were each asked to  design one dish for today’s [Music] menu  

They all dream of joining the  exclusive Master Chef call of [Music] Fame today the winners have all gathered  for the first [Music] time current champion Dro   has worked in some of the country’s leading mishan  kitchens cooking for these guys and people I’ve  

Watched for the last few years years winning M  you’ve got to not lose focus of what you’re doing   while bearing in mind that it’s a pretty scary  [Music] crowd Matt FIS has his own restaurant in  

Dorset what I expect from these guys is something  a bit special we’ve got the winner here so you   know from them I certainly expect a very good dish  James Nathan currently Works alongside Rick Stein  

The menus are very ambitious I’m really excited  to see how how they pull it off I think I am going   to be a picky naughty critic Steven Wallace  works for Major Brands as a food consultant  

It’s great having a wonderful poetic dish but if  the flavor doesn’t stack up then for me that’s a   real let down Peter bis is an accomplished writer  and food lecturer I have a love and a passion for   cooking that was showing the food Thomasina  Myers runs her own growing chair chain of

Restaurants we’ve all been  there we all know what it’s   like if I was cooking out there I would be [Music] terrified there are three courses on today’s menu the selection of starters are being  made by Claudia Kennedy James and Alice   [Music] Alice young mom and housewife  from South Wales elegant [Music] food  

The competition really is my life now  everything is on hold whilst we do this Alice what are you going to cook for them  I’m cooking a lasagna of scallops mushrooms and   truffles with a butternut squash blut  okay wow there’s a lot of stuff to do  

But I really think it’s going to show that I  can do lots of things under pressure you’re a   confident girl like I am really confident at  the end of the day now my fate rests in the  

Hands of my diners but it means so much to me  I don’t think I’m going to let them down good   luck this is one of the most complex sounding  dishes Fair due to the girl she’s not [Music] farted James Carpenter from Milton keing food  is obviously that boy’s [Music] passion  

Throw me into any environment within  carpentry and I’ll run away with it   now I want to be a chef if I can’t do  this Challenge and that’s never going to happen James what are you going to cook  for them I’m doing uh pan fried scallops  

With crispy bacon and how’s it feel to  be here it’s incredible it really is   incredible you know this is what I want  to do for a living so you know it’s my   opportunity to embrace it all I need to  do is make sure I get an amazing dish

Out Kennedy he’s a chist from Glasgow he’s  doing a starter and it’s busy I’m cooking   halit on a sort of Stew of smoked heck uh with  muscles and asparagus and a white wine cream   sauce starter or main course starter light  it sounds that it might not be but it’ll be

Light I hate losing absolutely hate it  I always have since I was about five I   had a t-shirt said I hate losing  on it so I I hate losing I really do I haven’t shown John and Greg a  fraction of what I can achieve yet  

There’s so much more Claudia she is  doing chicken livers with Hard Dough Bread Claudia tell me about Hard Dough Bread  it’s a Caribbean bread and it’s slightly sweet   and it’s quite dense in texture how special  is this going to be the taste will speak for

Itself I love chicken livers  but Hard Dough I don’t know   how hard my teeth aren’t all they used to be 45 minutes gone you are  halfway through your preparation [Music] dining with the six winners are some  of Master Chef’s outstanding finalists Hannah  

Miles has gone on to write several acclaimed  cookbooks Johnny Stevenson is now head chef   in his own restaurant and Caroline Brewster  is a successful food writer both in the UK   and America anybody who wants to cook for  us I think is going to be very very brave  

These contestants have watched all our  series and have learned what they need   to do so um I’m expecting big things  today can they give us a professional   standard because we are all professionals  and that’s what we want to see from them [Music] today SAR Peter Polly and Tom have  each created a main for the menu Tom joh I’m not joking so far he has  been one of the most impressive Cooks I’ve   seen in this competition he gave us hair he  gave us mushroom ravioli that boy can cook

Tom what is your dish pan fried fillet of  Brill with crab bon bons and octopus crisps   crab bon bons little crab cakes basically yes  if you get lots of orders on what happens I  

Think it’ll be manic if I get a lot of orders  but I’m hoping that I can uh hold it together   and get it done youve set yourself a huge  challenge I wish you the best of the Lu   I really do thank you very much sounds  fantastic thank you it’s quite daunting  

I think I’ve given myself quite a lot to  do you can almost feel the nerves around   the room but I’m focused it’s going to be  really really impressive as long as he can deliver Polly I love Polly she’s a  mom from high Wickam she’s my pudding

Queen a sweet touch is absolutely marvelous  what’s strange in particular is that at home   I’m in charge definely in charge I run  the home and to think that now somebody   else is in control of that is it’s a  very different set of emotions to deal  

With Polly what are you going to be cooking  Cannon of venison with potato and cerc mash   and purple sprouting broccoli is this the  last minute addition absolutely not that   brings a freshness to the Dish everything else  seems really rich and I think that is totally  

Integral where’s your smile Polly it’s here  it’s here um yeah I’m so thrilled to be here Polly she will be having to do that  venison to order and that Mash has   to be boiling hot and it has to look  beautiful go on Polly knock them dead

Girl Peter I am warming to him  with every single dish he was a   pharmacy lecturer he wants a gastro  pub John and he cooks like he’s got one this competition’s definitely  brought out my competitive side and   I think my father will be proud of that  he’s never really seen me engaging any  

Competitive Sports so here we finally  got a competition that I might actually win he’s got a smoke D breast he’s got  salc rosty that’s yummy can he really   produce the definite flavors  that dish require for it to be stunning Sara Italian but she now lives  in York she does Italian food food I

Love what is the dish today wood pigeon  rotto with pisam anded black truffle   shavings are you confident they’re  going to order risoto with such stiff competition um you have to today approach  that pass with a look in your eye that  

Says you’re confident about the dish okay  you’ve got to do that you’re will I will I will Master Chef has got to be a bit more special  than just a bowl of food saying that if anybody   can pull off risoto it’s going to be Sara this  competition has seen over a thousand amateurs  

Come through its doors only a handful have become  finalists last series Tim kinnard left medson to   set up his own Patisserie daaka mystery runs a  successful catering business and Dean Edwards   gave up his Digger and is now a chef on Breakfast  Television there a whole lot of pressure on them  

Do well I know that this program changes your  life been through it and it’s tough but I will be   looking for high level of cooking I think they’re  probably a little bit nervous than what we were  

In our time because we only had John and Greg to  feed but we’ve got a lot more people to satisfy here 30 minutes of preparation time  [Music] left the first dessert on the   menu has been created by Annie [Music]  Anie is our mom from barkshire she just  

Does great [Music] food her food is technically  great it always tastes great I want her to be my mom what are you cooking for us Annie  I’m cooking an orange and pomegranate   syrup cake with some pomegranate ice cream on  a menu the idea of reading cake and ice cream  

How enticing is that it’s a very special cake  and the combination of pomegranate and orange   is really fantastic it’s uh delicate  to put on the plate so I better stop   these hands from shaking fingers crossed  Annie thank you good luck cake and ice  

Cream sounds very exciting for the kids but  does it sound exciting for our Master Chef winners Fiona legal secretary from  arford she was thrown a Lifeline   twice she’s done more cooking  this competition than anybody else Fiona is doing a bread and butter pudding  with tea and she’s sewing with cardan and pears  

Well it sounds [Applause] fantastic you work very  very hard to get here what does it mean for you   now to still be here it does mean everything  now I I have to stay I I’ve got to make it to  

The end it means everything will it keep you in  this dish yes it will good luck F thank [Music] you Jackie now there’s a determined lady I mean  talk about adversity last round she dropped her   pad tight on the [Music] floor and got  us another one out the Jackie I know is  

Usually running around and very excited  what’s going on I’ve been meditating uh   I need to be calm I need to be focused I  need to be still in my head what is your   dish spiced coconut rice pudding with a mango  [ __ ] puddings are not really my thing but  

I don’t want to go out on a pudding so  this has got to sing keep on channeling   that energy won’t you yeah rice pudding  and pineapple really nice idea and can a   bowl of rice pudding look [Music] beautiful  make rice pudding on a restaurant menu look

Interesting I’m kind of  regretting choosing that dish Now Tim our American Nutty Professor he’s a sort   of creative event cook that you love  and it’s the sort of one that gives me nightmares Tim’s pudding is inspired by Hawaiian  pokei which is a multi-layered raw   fish salad but he is using slightly  sweeter ingredients to create his

Layers doing something a little bit individual  and outlandish might make me stand out more   it’s risky but on the other hand if it  pays off it’ll pay off big time I think how are you going to make this look extraordinary  it’s all about the layers um there’s three  

Definitely distinct elements here the rice  footing the sauce and the pineapple and um   keeping them distinct um because I think that  you know when you stack them all up in a bowl   they just uh it’s really enticing I’m thinking  it’s going to be something like an edible Pina

Cola there’s something great  and quisitive about him he is   a dangerous cook who lives on the edge  I’m hoping that his delivery is truly special let’s do this girls and [Music] boys I’m now stepping back out of your  kitchen I’m heading to the pass and I’ll  

Be standing call the orders in 5 [Music]  minutes finalists Alex rushmer Chris Gates   and Emily ludolph have all been here before  especially with John being on the past he’s   going to be really making sure that what they  put out is perfect but at the end of the day if  

They haven’t got it ready he’s going to make  them put out something and that’s a lot of pressure may I take your story order yes  please can I have the lasagna to start with   please yeah for stter can I have the chicken  livers please it’s got to be H my favorite

Fish ladies and gentlemen first check  on one scolar one livers one lasagna one halan table two three lasagnas one chicken  livers as the orders for starters come in   the contestants will need to work together  to ensure each table’s food is ready at the  

Same [Music] time Alice’s lazania has proved  to be a popular choice Alice how many you got   an order nine nine you have to work really  hard you know that don’t you you’ve got to   talk to me yeah Alice has got nine Ord  on I’m just so worried she’s got so much  

To do she has to put that dish together  at the last minute she’s going to really [Music] battle you know You’ got to get  the pasta out and make sure it’s identic   I think the flavors might balance out  but I’m not entirely certain how they  

Work with the sweetness of the butut squash  and the tra along the bench Kennedy has five   halibuts on order first test is going to be  how well the Hal that’s cooked you know just  

A bit under and it’s inedible a bit over and  it’s all dry so it’s a real test and I think   they’re very brave to try it meanwhile James is  already cooking the scallops for all four of his dishes those scallops are going to  be overcooked James mate you still  

Got plenty of time son plenty of time those  scallops are not going to take 15 minutes as   James takes the scallops off the heat  Claudia is portioning out her chicken livers how you done uh I’ve got three three  yep okay you’ve got one chicken livers on  

Table two you’ve got one little chicken livers  on table number one you got two chicken livers   on table number five that’s four where  I come from fine I can handle that it’s okay why she’s cooking all her chicken LS at once  they don’t take long to cook what’s she up to guys four

Minutes hello yes [Music] [Music] John come on guys let’s go first  table up let’s go come on Claudia go go go   there please nice go get out there  pretty Alice get back there three   more please now oo very good off you go  thank you come on Claudia I’m waiting for you service please

Table one is served but the others  are still waiting okay Alice how   long 4 minutes chicken livers how long ready job Alice you’ve got to push mate I am  don’t worry I need to get this out C   is it’s going cold done okay guys  going on table five next [Music]

Please hold on M much with just one more  table to serve Alice is still behind Alice come on come on come on  come on come on come on last table where’s my [Music] food next  time don’t bite off more than you can chew let’s just hope it’s worth it

That’s the hardest thing I’ve ever done  Alice has served nine plates of her lasagna   of scollops mushrooms and truffles with a  butternut squash valute sauce topped with a   parmesan crisp I’d wish I’d made the title  less appealing now to be honest because I  

Didn’t really want nine people asking for it  but what can I do I got them out they weren’t burnt it looks absolutely amazing really  really stunning the scallops are cooked   well on and I like the cheese TW as  well gives it a nice bit of texture  

The elements of this dish that have been  very beautifully done the V smooth the   Truffle is delicious the pasta is way for  thin delicious really beautifully cooked   flavors of truffles running through that  like the sweetness of the scolars I love it

All James has cooked pan-fried scollops  on a bed of baby spinach with crispy bacon   and a cider bur Blanc I should have been  able to do enough to impress the dish was   good enough to impress whether I’ve  done the dish Justice is a different

Story really quite impressed the  beer blank sauce contrasts very   well with the scallops bit of crunch  of the bacon the flavors work together   really really well my scops are  like overdone but the sauce is wonderful the sharpness of the cider is coming  through very nicely and Kennedy has made five  

Plates of his halibut on a smoked hadac and  muscle stew with asparagus and white wine   cream sauce yeah I was worried about the the fish  the the halet getting it cooked right with there  

Crispy skin um I think I managed to do that um  but it’s not up to me had but it’s very juicy   fish and you’ve got a very buttery creamy sauce  very easy to get the moisture splitting out of  

The sauce and it hasn’t done that at all it’s an  absolute knockout I’m impressed by this you know   honestly I’m happily pay for this in a restaurant  the power of the sauce with the smokiness of   the fish in there and the shellfish is always  really good that’s what we technically call M

Finally it’s Claudia’s four portions  of fried chicken livers with red onion   and mango marmalade baby Leaf salad and  Jamaican Hard Dough Bread that was so hard   incredibly hard my proportions weren’t  right because I didn’t prepare enough   it was just stupid I can’t believe  I just didn’t hear him didn’t hear

Him the star of the show should be the chicken  livers but it’s covered the salad I mean I   couldn’t even see it the livers themselves are  quite badly overcooked there’s no why Factor at   all with it there’s a lot of skill in the  bread but I just think it’s quite heavy I  

Don’t understand what the salad leaves all over  it listen if you can cook chicken livers this   well serve it with something that will help  it the starters have made their impact now   the spotlights on the main I have the fill of  grill that sounds really good absolutely we’ll  

Have the dock pleas the wood pigeon Main and  go with the venison venison okay ladies and   gentlemen main course on two risoto one duck one  Venison and a Brill Table Three venison duck two Brill the main course is the centerpiece and  it has to be refined it has to be ample but  

It’s got to be refined Tom’s Brill has  shown Mass Appeal with a total of eight orders Brill rad bombos octopus crisps that  sounds absolutely Sensational you and your   clip and mess you drive me [Music] nuts lay  your four plates out and do it methodically  

For me okay yeah so you fish on a plate  1 2 3 sandfire mixed together 1 2 3 y   he’s got a huge amount of orders on and as  he is running around with mess everywhere   there is no way in the world his plates  are going to come up looking clean no

Way while Tom starts to cook his crab bon   bons Peter starts pan frying  the duck breasts for his five orders pet sauce has done and  everything else but those Roses   are in in the oven they’re going to be dry  as anything if he doesn’t actually watch

Them Polly has five venison on the go on  table three it’s medium on four it’s medium   well and on table two it’s medium rare yes John  hopefully this isn’t going to drive me mentally   insane trying to get it out the venison is quite  similar to something I cooked in my quarterfinal  

So I’ll be really interested to see how that  gets done today 10 minutes for the first main course Sara may only have  four orders for her pigeon   risoto but they all have to be cooked at the last minute one rotto then a two rotto straight after  

That second rotto going be ready I’m  Hopey so so do I I got to show the customers Sara Roto really nice  idea right now finishing the to   order she is struggling 2 minutes  on the first main coures [Music] please Wonder beautiful too messy too  messy I’ll wipe it but too messy thank

[Music] you right guys thrill two Roto on  a duck y Polly youve got nothing on this   next table no it’s good that’s good is it  no it’s not good it’s given me a tiny bit   of breathing space and I’m getting myself  collected that’s all I meant by [Music] that

Wonder Sarah how long 3 minutes John sorry Sarah now thank you very much [Music] John yes I’ve forgot to put the sauce on  top well then quickly get your sauce up here [Music] okay oh my God it’s good we’ve only  got a little bit of sandfire hanging over the  

Plate need a plate this time please venison medium  well that looks just the same as medium rare can   cut longer I’m only joking with you I’d send it  back if it wasn’t done enough really nice good on you 2 minutes ratoo two BR two du  two venison please with the final  

Table called the cooks have one last chance to shine come on guys guys come on come on come on push two Brill now let’s go what do I do I not got   enough source to do this and the next  so I’m just making some more now it’s fine split on

Me split how’s the sauce coming along Tom  not good John it’s just split right at   the end [ __ ] what do you do serve  it without it I don’t really have a choice you panicked didn’t clean  down you’ve tried too hard I hope  

For your sake it’s worked on the  other side of the doors yeah me [Music] too that was hard Blood out of a bloody stone or what that was  the toughest challenge by a mile by a country   mile that was that was seriously hard you know  you’re in trouble when he feels the need to come  

And clean your bench Tom has served eight  dishes of Brill on a bed of sfire with crab   bonbons octopus crisps and a shrimp bur Blanc  I think John was not impressed with my uh with  

My tidiness and I think it’s something I’m really  going to have to work on it was tough it was very tough the brill is perfectly cooked it’s  beautifully creamy I just think this dish   is fantastic these little crap Bon bonss they  they just sing honestly there deal in there and  

It’s fresh and it’s delicious I’m not entirely  sure what this octopus crisp brings to the dish   they’re going to have to go but that’s you know  that’s it’s really good I could finish the whole  

Plate and and not pass it on that fish with that  B Block that is salty from these little shrimp   that is lovely yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah that’s  accomplished that that’s quality Sara’s delivered   her for orders of wood pigeon and Panetta risoto  with black truffle and Parmesan shavings cooking  

Roto consistently nicely can be a bit hard  I’m just hoping that that uh I kept uh being consistent perfectly made risoto I think she  used Caroli rice it’s still got a little bit   of firmness to it the pigeon on top of  there is perfectly cooked for me it’s  

Soft and it’s iron flavored I really like  it the risotto is well cooked but they’ve   left a little bit of the um the breast bone  which could be quite dangerous there’s all   these beautiful chams of truffle on the side  of the plate here it seems a shame for that  

Gorgeous truffle to go to waste but um yeah all  in all I’m pretty pleased with that Peter’s tea   smok duck breast with salc rosty white bean  and garlic puree parsnip crisps and Juniper   jeu attracted five orders I came out of  the kitchen feeling really pleased with  

Myself but now got this nagging doubt that they  might think it it didn’t really deliver what it promised I know there’s an awful lot of  work gone into this but the rosty is raar   in the middle and burnt on the outside the  dock has been brilliantly cooked it’s well  

Seasoned you get the smokiness off the tea  off it but the rosty is not cooked the purey   has been burnt bitterness to it I’m not keen  on the puree unfortunately but plate looked   beautiful when it arrived at the table so I  think 10 out of 10 for presentation finally  

It’s pol’s five dishes of venison with a  red wine and blackberry production served   with salc mash and sprouting broccoli  I did push myself but I did manage it   and I do Wonder having looked at the final  edition of the plate if if it was still a bit

Simple the venison is beautifully cooked  the only slight criticism I would have is   that the sarc puree is probably a little bit  watery and slightly underseasoned it’s just   a little bit unimaginative with the  broccoli so it’s a bit meat and two  

Veg beautifully cooked venison a really  nice fruity sauce but deserves better ACC   compliments I don’t want to use the word  dull it’s a bit strong but there’s lots   of surprises and plenty of Elegance in the  other dishes that are missing in this [Music]

One what do you like for dessert it’s going  to have to be the Masala chai I’m going to   have the orange and pomeg Grant syrup  cake the Hawaiian Pake it’s going to be   the spiced coconut rice pudding with orders  in for the final four Cooks the wait is over  

Table one orange cake two Masala bread and  butter pudding one Pokey yes table two one   coconut rice pudding one Masala bread and butter  pudding one orange cake one [Music] Pokey that   is dessert of course is a celebration it’s the  end of the meal the desserts have to be really

Stunning Annie’s orange cake  and pomegranate ice cream has   attracted eight orders as confident as  Annie might be that cake and ice cream   has to be an amazing cake and ice  cream I just hope she can pull it off next to her Tim is preparing the  sauce to start Ling clearing up his

Pudding the Hawaiian po cake that’s um a  raw fish dish and I’m slightly intrigued   how that will work with a pineapple and a  rice pudding it sounds a bit Bonkers that’s   how much rum you put in there yep that’s half  a pint of rum yeah I know I got it down from  

A cup and a half so what’s the idea if they  don’t like it get them drunk so they don’t   know don’t worry I mean I wish I could do that  but I’m going to set it all on fire so are you

Yeah I so believe Tim would be doing something  really special with presentation but to me it   now looks like a bowl of rice with sugar  on top and pineapple is that going to be   good enough really with five orders on Fiona  is shaping the peirs to serve with her bread  

And butter pudding F very calm very confident all  she’s got to do now is make her food deliver on Flavor Jackie has four orders for her spiced rice pudding so the rice is not  sweet because the sweetness   of the pineapple and the caramel is  that right yeah and the mango cooie  

Okay thank you he doesn’t think it’s  sweet 5 minutes on the first desserts please Thank you very much next table please orange cake two  Masala bread and but putting one Pokey please n uhuh not yet I haven’t called it  listen to me I don’t want to e on the   food on the P unless they’re coming together  2 minutes please and Pokey orange cake now yes John well

Done thank you very much thank you sir okay guys last table Masala bread  and butter pudding two orange   cake two Pokey two coconut rice  puddings everything at the same time well done your service is over off  we go thank you John thank you John

Joh that was very very hard work  indeed and I think they did very [Music] well I’ll be interested to  see what Mr Wallace has to say besides   he’s had a nice time in his dining room  eating whil St being in here [Laughter] sweating he gets all good

Jobs Fiona has made a masala chai tea inspired  bread and butter pudding with cardamon infused   poached pear served with almonds toasted  pistachios and a caramel basket I’m too   much of a perfectionist to let a plate go out if  it’s below par I just my pride just won’t allow

It it’s really stodgy and the flavor is is  just a bit onedimensional I was expecting   that lovely kind of creamy sweet tea with the  different spices I’m not actually getting any   of that it looks amazing and it smells good  as well and it’s really disappointing it’s  

A big lump of bread and no flavor it’s really  really disappointing and the pear is the same   the pear hasn’t got the flavor in it it’s not  wet enough it’s just a big solid lump and bread  

And butter pudding is a moist thing and the pear  you don’t get any spice from at all I’m a little   disappointed Jackie’s dessert is a spiced  coconut rice pudding with mango and passion   fruit [ __ ] caramelized pineapple and a ginger  TW I’m happy about how the dishes look when they  

Went out but it’s such a simple dish it has to be  perfect and I’m not sure everything was exactly perfect the smell of Ginger from the  TW is awesome the biscuits a little   bit soggy but I love it the rice pudding’s  okay it’s fine but but the things around  

It are absolutely sumptuous it could do  with being a bit lighter it’s spicy it’s   almost like mace flavor in there but  its presentation leaves a bit to be desired Annie has served eight portions of her  orange cake with pomegranate ice cream caramelized  

Oranges and a pomegranate and orange syrup it was  very tough in there uh I was extremely nervous   at the beginning but I did relax into it and I  managed to carry on and I’m quite proud of myself

The orange cake is the best thing I’ve tried  today the balance of the sweetness and the   acidity is absolutely bang on it’s absolutely  stunning it’s lovely and moist flavors are   really they really pop this ice cream I’ve  never tasted ice cream like it in my life  

This is absolutely stalling I would eat 10  of these quite happily it’s it’s beautiful   that looks the most unassuming yet it comes  up out and just snugs you that is a beautiful thing finally it’s Tim’s Hawaiian Pokey  inspired dessert of layered coconut rice  

Pudding fresh pineapple and vanilla rum sauce  topped with macadamia nuts and citrus zest it   came out almost exactly how I wanted it to but not  sure it’s Advanced enough that’s the only thing this is delicious you’ve got a really  rich creamy rice pudding you’ve got  

Incredible caramel flecked with vanilla  pods it’s just Sensational I don’t know   it’s kind of one step away from kind  of Genius or one step away from being   a bit old it just melts in your mouth oh it’s  delicious the other guys are wanting a bit to  

Try and I’m just is not going to let them  have any of it it’s so delicious no James no no not for me not for me I like the creaminess   of the rice pudding but orange and lime  and the zest from it as well is [Music] odd [Music]

You look tired you all right that was tough  I’m exhausted I think overall the standard was   pretty high there was one absolutely standout  blew everybody away unanimous fantastic dish   and that was Annie’s uh orange syrup cake with  with pomeg granite ice cream I agree with you  

I think probably one of the best dishes in the  room the ice cream was fantastic the cake was   lovely enriched really nicely done I feel like I  can hardly speak I’m so tired I just really hope  

They hurry up and make their decision now the  next big popular dish was Tom’s Brill with the   little crab bon bonss John it was a beautiful  dish how Tom got that food up in that mess I  

Have no idea I just hope I’ve done enough and  I hope that you know people can appreciate   the fact that’s the first time for me in in a  situation like that and uh you know it’s it’s   massive learning curve Alice’s lasna everybody  agreed it was a beautiful beautiful dish she  

Worked seriously hard seriously hard head off  to her I hope I’ve done enough to impress I’d   be impressed I love that dish I love it I  think it’s a real crowd pleaser but oh God   knows Kennedy’s plate was loved the fish was  cooked perfectly and he was so calm so clean  

So organized every single plate exactly the  same perfect for me there’s five people who   are really Hanging On by the fingernails  and they are Claudia Peter Jackie Fiona and Polly Pizza duck okay sauce very sweet it looked  beautiful but he messed up that rosty completely  

It would be devastating to go out at this stage  I don’t know what else I could have done other   than to cook my damn rostis today Jackie was a  different person from that bouncing Bean that  

Was around she suddenly sort of went very very  calm and I don’t think it did her any favors I   think she overspiced that rice pudding and mine  was like heavy with mace from the calm place I  

Was in when I was in the kitchen today you know  I was in a happy calm place I just feel like   I’m hitting the pit of despair here right  now actually feel owner’s bread and butter   pudding looked fantastic but it was dry it wasn’t  sweet enough it wasn’t flavored hideous hideous  

That’s a really strong one no it was awful but she  worked really well really confident in the kitchen delivery I’m not just hungry to stay in  I’m starving to stay in but I’ll have to   live with whatever they say what is Polly  doing because venison nicely cooked then  

What happened we had a salc mash and then we had  some sprouting broccoli stuck on the side I asked   right at the start what’s it doing there is it  an add-on because it didn’t make sense to me I  

Was worried that my dish was too simple um I  wanted to make sure I could plate up in the   time and I think that may be to my detriment now  Claudia uh cooked her chicken livers really well  

But her onion marmalade was made too sweet the  bread wasn’t cooked through properly it was a   little bit doughy and what were all the leaves  doing scattered across the top it wasn’t right   it wasn’t great I’m not confident but it’s been  so exciting so challenging so enjoyable I just  

Want to do more and more we’ve got our five  who’s got the biggest issues let see we send out [Music] The winners and the finalists of Master Chef  were blown away by the standard of the food seriously there are four outstanding Cooks today  for those people that go straight through the next round those four are Annie Tom [Music] Kennedy and [Music] Alice pretty job really  really well [Music] done you for  

A safe take a step over there for me Please for three more of you we agree you deserve a place in the competition James  congratulations [Music] Sara hold [Music] on and Tim good job hold [Music] done two of you are leaving us Fiona and Claudia I’m sorry I’m sorry thank You it’s hard to not be completely devastated  I’ve learned a lot about myself and about my   food and I’m going to achieve my dream watch  this face do you know what it’s not unfair   that I’m going home because I did feel like  I was lagging I’m good you know but they are

Amazing boy oh boy have I learned Lots  today and we’ll be taking that and using   it wholeheartedly in the next round brilliant  where’s the wine I’m so happy I am so happy it’s brilliant I’m I’m slightly  in shock it’s amazing I mean   it makes you feel incredibly proud of what you’ve Done so happy in the final 10 it’s  incredible it really is I think feel   like I’ve been on something that goes  very fast up and down at a theme park   and I don’t like them at all and I’m not  sure I can cope with much more I want more  

Much more and as you say cooking doesn’t  get any tougher than this uh I believe it next time the contestants hit the road well I hope they know was going to hit  them John because they are in a tent in the  

Middle of a field in the highlands seriously  tough we’re really against the clock now we’ve   got to keep moving the Scots are coming  and they look hungry to [Music] me medic [Music] medic [Music]
