Master Chef is looking for its next Champion these eight amateurs are the last Chef standing they have battled to stay in the competition medic medic that’s not good come on you shouldn’t have had that whiskey got a bit of a problem here it’s burn I’m a
Bit disappointed today they face a very different challenge I wouldn’t want to face the Clowns with an empty tray come on get hot having said that I’m going to deliver it on time I really better cold tempo of edge this is my round to shine I want this so
[Music] badly [Music] eight great amateur Cooks an emotional journey to get this far and they now have to perform beyond belief there isn’t room for error really got to raise my game you know
In order to stay in now there are only eight of us left but I think I’ve got a good chance as any of them this competition it’s so tough especially at this stage when you’ve got the
Best of the best that you’re up [Music] against the step from the amateur to the professional is a big one but you are on your way over the next 3 days we’re going to expose you to a very different style of food you’re going to be cooking the most extraordinary vegetarian
Food and for you today we have a special treat because we are going to bring in a man who is a master in this style of food ladies and Gentlemen please welcome yotam elleni Welcome today I’m giving you four of my favorite recipes I’m not a vegetarian myself but I want to show you guys how you can achieve things with vegetables in a way that you didn’t think was possible this is an extraordinary thing for you open your minds
Ladies and gentlemen 1 hour and 10 minutes do something special I wish you loads of luck yam elleni understands how to celebrate the greatness of vegetarian food and he has no boundaries whatsoever and that’s why it’s so exciting I think one needs to liberate themselves
From the idea that every meal has to have a piece of meat in the center of it and then the SKU the limit I’ve cooked vegetarian a few times but it tend to just be a roast dinner without the meat
On their plate usually when I cook vegetarian it’s because I’ve forgotten to take meat out of the freezer Tim and Alice are both making the poached stuffed onion skins the stuffed onion is a dish that challenges you because it’s fiddly the onions need
To be poached properly so you can actually play with them and stuff them hi Alice hello what’s your first reaction when you hear vegetarian I think difficult because I find it hard to pack the flavors in but you really needed
To make sure that all the flavor is there before it goes into the onion cuz then it’s too late yeah true so you can’t take it out and don’t burn it [Music] okay hi Tim hi scary a little bit scary yeah why well it’s not something I’ve cooked before I mean it may
Not be exactly right but it I’m going to make it my own in a way good luck thank you you’ve had 15 minutes qu of an hour gone Jackie and Annie are making the sweet corn palenta with an oine tomato
Sauce it is quite a struggle for me to cook dishes without meat or fish I cook vegetarian food virtually every day I should absolutely shine in this round the sweet corn pented dish they really have to get right because sweet corn is very very
[Music] sweet so it’s very important to balance it with saltiness and the saltiness comes from feta how do you feel about cooking vegetarian I’m really happy about cook vegetarian food I’m a vegetarian you are yes okay so this is right up your alley H yeah yeah yeah yeah that’s great
And how do you feel in this environment where everybody’s probably I assume a nonvegetarian it’s been amusing watching their reaction but they all think that I’ve got the advantage today whereas I feel the pressure is on me to prove you’re a worthy vegetarian yes absolutely
Annie hello no fish and no chicken no it’s very unusual for me is it yeah very much so you’re outside your comfort zone I’m loving it so far actually it’s said wonderful set of ingredients you’re loving it so far yes I don’t know I don’t believe [Applause] you
You’ve had 30 minutes I’m quite excited about vegetarian food I think it pushes people to be creative I think I’m in real trouble if I can get through this I think I can get through anything Tom and Kennedy have been given the chili
Black pepper tofu the black pepper tofu is explosion of flavors it’s so hot and spicy tofu is huge Tom yes you feeling confident ish ish is have you ever cooked tofu before a couple of times yes yeah yeah what do you think about the quantities of chilies and
Black pepper it’s a little more than i’ normally use but actually I like hot food so um yeah I think it’s great I’m hoping it will taste as good as it’ll look me too
It’s hard work HH I can see you’re all sweaty and everything yeah do you like tofu uh no no not yet well I can tell you a little secret I hated tofu up until about a year ago and now I’ve got like
Three recipes with tofu I hope to convince you that it’s wonderful you know you’ve got like so many pepper corn so much chili in there how do you think you’re going to stand the heat I’m sure
It will in or work itself out you have belief I don’t think that’s going to be that [Music] hot you’ve got 30 minutes left Sara and James are making the grilled vegetable halumi [Music] salad I want to see the contestants keeping the
Vegetables crunchy I want them to grill them properly to give them nice [Music] color I’m not a vegetarian I never have been a vegetarian and it’s very unlikely I’m ever going to be a vegetarian there needs to be a slab of meat or a lump of fish on my plate James I
Heard you’re not a great vegetarian I’m a bit of a carnivore yeah you look like a carnivore that’s right you look like a rabbit thank you no I’m I mean I’m enjoying it it’s it’s nice to try different people’s food you know in different Cuisine you know it’s meals that I’ll eat without
Meat and fish so you still there’s still hope for you uh I won’t [Laughter] [Music] pray I think I’ve done okay to be one of eight but I want to hang around much longer fingers
Crossed are you stressed no I love vegetables yes I do very much what do I hear an accent Italian okay you love vegetables I love vegetables so this is like almost like second nature to you working with here in this kitchen nothing is second nature everything is in doubt everything is
In doubt indeed don’t be stressed because this is really simple all you do is Grill your vegetables I mean what can go wrong a lot of things can go wrong just 10 minutes please at the end of today two more contestants will be going home they
Have to keep proving they can cook [Music] Flawlessly last two [Music] minutes finished time’s up first up a Jackie and Annie who have cooked the sweet corn palenta with feta topped with an oine tomato and oregano sauce Annie I’ve got a sweet soup I like sweet things but that has got a very
Very sweet finish because I don’t pick up oregano and I don’t pick up chunks of feta I don’t mind not getting chunks of feta but it’s just very very processed so you don’t even get chunks of corn in terms of texture
But I can finish fin it right now straight away because it’s just so delicious I love the sweetness of the Corn and I love the bits of fet are still prominent inside really well cook thank you thank you Jackie so you’re the queen of palenta now right I
Mean what can I say I love the fact that you can actually see bits of feta and it’s coarse it looks the part really nice really really really nice it is quite sweet and the feta is salty so this
Sort of balancing act and a little surprise as you go it’s fantastic thank you that was absolutely brilliant cooking for one of my food Heroes it was like oh my God the utumn likes my food I was up against a vegetarian expert which was always going to be tough so I’m
Thrilled for her that she did such a good job I just wish I could have matched it maybe Tim and Alice’s dish is poached onions with a tomato feta parsley and garlic stuffing served with a Water Crest pistachio and Orange Blossom salad technically you encase all the whole
Stuffing in the onion which is not as sort of straightforward as other things might be so that’s good the stuffing that is a little bit soggy a little bit soft and I would have liked a little bit more texture there but all in all I think it’s a good
Achievement Tim stuffed onions or blinders well the recipe said they roll them into a cigar shape I was thinking long cigar not fat cigar you were thinking about cigar run over by truck uh they did deflate a bit Yeah Tim my commiserations because they look quite terrible
It’s good flavors and the salad is well dressed so i’ be happy to eat it not to look at it but to eat it so well done thank you obviously it was ugly I didn’t think it was that ugly but apparently it was really ugly Sara and James have made the Char grilled
Asparagus with tomatoes cetes and halumi dressed with basil oil James for me I would just like to mess it all up it doesn’t have to be so busy and so precise it needs more tomato just because the cheese is Rich but the flavors are
Good and all the components you actually feel all of them in the mouth and that’s that’s a good sign for a dish that nothing sort of gets lost well done Sara it’s not too smoky you still feel freshness of asparagus freshness of
Corette so the balance of flavor is fantastic thank you absolutely chaft he’s such a veggie Guru finally Tom and Kennedy’s dish which is the black pepper chili and ginger fried to tofu served with steamed [Music] rice Tom you can actually see the chilies the
Shots the ginger it’s all got texture here so it looks fantastic and you really want to eat it it’s delicious it’s wonderful and it’s just what you want colors spice and bold flavors it’s just fantastic thank you very much your turn next Kennedy
The actual cooking is good but the peppercorns when I came to you were having a war with them and I think you lost because they stayed more or less the way they were when you started I can’t say just because I’ve done that I’m suddenly very comfortable around
Vegetarian food because that would be a big lie nothing’s changed I’m still pretty scared Oh my God you know I love you that was nice food I’m quite surprised being just vegetables it’s good that you learn these things it’s good that you do actually I do now actually know how to cook [Music] tofu feel so lucky to be
Here you’ve got some great dishes and I think they did you proud I think they did your food Justice they’re a great bunch I think I like Jackie I think she had good understanding of what that Penta was all about and she has a sensitivity that I didn’t see in others I
Loved her work Tim’s onions had to be the biggest disaster of the day but his dish actually tasted good you could see that they they know what they’re doing they’re trying really hard that’s the point of it isn’t it I really do hope they’ve learned from you
Because they got a major challenge tomorrow I mean a major [Music] challenge with the master class over the eight contestants must now impress with their own vegetarian Food [Music] good morning and welcome to peckam Ry my old stomping ground this is where I grew up now listen today you are the sole Caterers for these people that run the circus they’ve got a show to put on people have bought tickets they’ve got to be properly fed and they can’t
Be late we’re going to split you into two groups Jackie James Alice and Kennedy you’ll be cooking lunch service for the circus riggers Sarah Annie Tom and Tim you’ll be cooking dinner for the performers try and impress No Easy Task those of you who are preparing lunch
I suggest you get going good luck off you go tonight is opening night at the circus the lunch team have just 2 hours to feed and win over 20 riggers with their best vegetarian dishes is whether you’re a rigger or whether you’re a performer you are doing
Hard physical work you want a hearty milk to make something attractive yet substantial and vegetarian that’s not an easy task at any [Music] time Alice has designed her starter around vegetarian haggis Parcels with a whiskey cream sauce I actually found it really exciting
Working with Oten yesterday and I’ve realized that vegetarian food isn’t rubbish like I might have used to think it was James is also making a starter sticking to a classic mushroom and truffle Roto I know what it means to have a good meal after a good day’s graft and I don’t think I’ve
Ever come home fancy in a truffle Roto [Music] Kennedy will be making one of the mains a wild mushroom and spinach tart with leaks it’s an interesting challenge not ideal being out here in a in a tent trying to make this uh vegetarian food [Music] interesting and
Jackie’s dish a vegetable dumplings in a spicy yogurt Curry will be the second Main they’re doing a really tough job out there they are going to be hungry do they look like people who eat veggie food it’s a bit of a curve ball this one really isn’t
It 30 minutes gone Alice’s vegetarian haggus stuffing is ready but she still has plenty to [Music] do as a meat eater I really like this dish it’s lots of pulses and beans and nuts it’s really nice it tastes like meat I promise it really does and as a meat
Eater I’d rather something that tasted like meat Alice you believe this dish is going to suit big armed hard working guys I think so my veggie Haus is great and I’ve really spiced it well and I think they’ll like a bit of whiskey so I’m fairly confident
The success of James’s risoto depends upon him making the perfect mushroom stock this dish is all about Punchy flavor you need to literally get a mouthful of it and get punched in the [Music] mouth Kennedy needs to Blind bake his pastry and bring together his wild mushroom filling I think
It give them enough energy to go on and continue rigging [Music] you got under an hour left now please Jackie be smile on your face because this is the sort of food that you love I’m really excited about making this food but I am actually having a touch of the
Nerves and I think it’s because it means so much to me the other thing is you got huge amounts of work to do dumplings to make the bread hasn’t been started no sauce is a curry sauce on no are you going to get this done I know I’m I’m really worried actually
I’ve given myself really rather a lot to do and um I’m I am having a slight Panic about that now sorry I’ve got the jumping beans back can I good to go on get on with
It I’m not going to get this opportunity again this is my round to shine I want this so badly I just hope those riggers love her food with 20 minutes to go Alice starts on the delicate we dram pearls she’s mixing whiskey with alginate to form intensely flavored whiskey
Balls peek and Ry or Park Lane I didn’t know the clientele we were cooking for but I thought it’ be exciting for whoever had it if you press it it’ll still burst see yeah it’s all good you got whiskey bowls you’ve got whiskey bows brilliant [Music]
[Music] brilliant guys just 10 minutes left till the blos who put that tent up coming for their lunch all over here for lunch come [Music] on personally being a lover of meat I’m not overly fond of vegetarian food the
Boys here particularly like meat they’re very fun of barbecues pork is nice and the um steak we like chicken pie sausages as well I don’t know if there’s any vegetarian people here I’m not sure about that but yeah they will enjoy it [Music]
Yeah I just want to get it up not just slopped on a plate like most rotos generally are okay guys here we go it’s 12:00 come on go go finally both starters are ready to go Roto anybody H some potato cake everybody got grab okay enjoy thank
You Alice has made a spiced vegetarian haggis parcel on a Scottish potato scone with whiskey cream sauce neep and Tatty crisps and weed Ram pearls it looks beautiful I’m very impressed with the presentation hope it tastes as good as it looks [Music] is it good B okay the hugest need
Little bit Whiskey in the cream because there was too much cream not whiskey enough the potato scum was delicious and cream sauce very nice Alice’s vegetarian haggus is a great looking dish it has real texture to it the warmth The Whiskey on the background of all those other lovely flavors are
Great I’ve got to take a about to that girl’s ambition John whiskey balls and haggus in a tent on peek and RI that’s not bad at all while James has prepared mushroom and truffle risoto with basil oil and Parmesan [Music] crisps good very good I like the mushrooms but we normally
Like not eating a lot here mushrooms I don’t know why but very nice the resort was tasty but the pumps and Crips was like sour it was just I didn’t like that I’ve never eaten mushroom before you’ve never eaten mushrooms before I think it tastes nice it tastes nice yeah really nicely
Presented dish I love the Tang of the Basel around the outside of it I think that really salty cheese is good but the radoo as a whole needs a bit more seasoning and it could be a lot [Music] wetter
Listen the starters are gone and cleared they’re now waiting for their main come on get hot with pores the oil needs to be really really hot just like wishing it to get hotter quicker it’s not works a rustic tart it’s not something pretty these are working folk that’s better you got two
Minutes Jackie and Kennedy it’s time for main courses please let’s do it Go seasonal dumplings in a spicy yogurt curry good L mushroom well mushroom tart that really help you enjoy it [Music] okay Kennedy has made wild mushroom and spinach tart with creamed mustard leaks and a f AB [Music]
Potato I had the mushroom tart was nice I enjoyed it’s tasty tasty good it looks an absolute sight potato fondants aren’t Square there some sort of weird shape the tart themselves are falling all over the place and Jackie has made seasonal vegetable dumplings in a spicy yogurt Curry
Served with Crispy Puri Breads and kachumber salad bread’s a little greasy roll up roll up block up your archeries give that to a rigger not if you want your rigger to put the tent up tomorrow you
Don’t I think it’s a bit too spicy too much but it’s still good I’m enjoying it no I’m afraid that’s not going to do it for me the sauce is powdery what can I say about the Pu bed
Um it’s oil basically crispy oil um um sorry I really don’t particular like this meal at all oh God please don’t let there be loads of left food on the plate at least you gave them something they’ve seen before afraid that Curry and I can’t remember exactly what you call it the
Curry castles I thought was awful okay opinion um I thought the Cur paste was powdery it can complement what was inside P I thought was just oil crispy [Music] oil it matters massively tumor it matters massively to me you know my life has been
Defined by being a vegetarian my children have been bought up vegetarians and I went and put weird food in front of people who already think vegetarians are weird oh God God veget please just got to go outside for a [Music] [Music] bit [Music] it’s midafternoon and the circus performers have started their final
Rehearsals the dinner team now have just 2 hours before they have to serve [Music] we’re feeding the performers now John the stars of the show I mean these people are athletes they are going to really care about what they eat Annie’s vegetarian
Starter is a trio of beetroot consisting of tart tatan soup and beetroot hummus I’m effectively producing three dishes on one plate to get it done in time it’s going to be a challenge Annie’s dish is so ambitious can you really pull that off in two hours in a
Tent Sara is also making a starter of a Peppa bake with oine alap parmesana a bit worried because of the environment I’ve never cooked like this before but I’m hoping to be fine Tim’s main is a vegetable tempora Bento containing a variety of Japanese fried and
Battered veg so the idea of these Bento boxes is you have different layers is that right that’s right so you start off with one lot you take away another layer and then you eat what’s underneath that’s right I’ve got a a lot of you know interesting Japanese stuff to me none of
It’s that weird but I have a history of thinking things aren’t exotic or weird when they actually are for the second main Tom is making a spiced pumpkin tart it’s quite hearty and it’s got quite a lot of flavor and it’s not too veggie so I’m hoping that the carnival folk will like
It four very ambitious Cooks in that Tent today some may say too ambitious I’m worried that one of these might not make it one of these may be heading for a [Music] fall [Music] you’ve had half an hour already do you hear me half an hour
[Music] gone Annie you have set yourself too Mater haven’t you surely I’ve have set myself a very hard task yes but I thought it was time to step it up a bit I’m really concerned that you might actually get all this done I know I
Can get it done I’ve timed it out I’ve W to that carefully but I do need to get on with three different elements on her dish Sara is feeling the pressure I’ll be fine with these little friends here are in the oven then I can smile a little
[Music] bit you’ve had an hour you’re halfway with still an hour to go Tim is already frying his vegetable tempura you’re not going to do this now are you I’m just trying to get get
Stuff out of the way cold tempor of edge this is how they eat in Japan actually they do it’ll be good I love vegetable tempora hot steaming but not from Tim he’s going to serve it cold cuz apparently they do that in [Music] Japan I just need to get
The pies in the oven I think not serving pie would be a big problem good to see you kept clean here Tom I’m not sure if you’re being sarcastic or not now well it’s about the cleanest you’ve been so far it’s still not clean though okay I know
Cleish you have just 10 minutes left before the starter goes I’ve certainly got a lot of work to do St right now sari is close to getting in her right TI she looks behind time and she’s got the start
Just I don’t want to look like I’m panicking but got to get going Annie is also up against it she still has to make her soup and beetro hummus having said that I’m going to deliver it on time I really [Music] better I wouldn’t want to face the Clowns with an empty [Music] [Music] tray [Music] 2 minutes just 2 minutes [Music] okay 3 six and four four I think plus count take it take it take [Music] it you like some beetroot very delicious cut three ways Mediterranean Vegetables there you go I really hope you enjoy it thank you excuse me where’s the food sorry joh we Ser serving 10 yeah how many of you served I’m sorry how many of you served I’ve served 10 what are you looking at me
Like that for because I feel slightly gormless a bit freaking out kind of thing I’ve just been in the tent you’re one short am [Music] I come on move move move move come on get it out there run safely apologies of missing one I can’t even count
Anymore how can you not count to 10 accept my apologies sorry can’t count to 10 Sara has made a seavo wrapped yellow and red pepper bake an oine and Olive Ratatouille and OB alapana with pesto I can’t count anymore overall I’m happy with my dish and I hope they like
It I really liked the ratou it was very pleasant I like the oily saltiness and the olive mixed together very nicely oin and paresan and the ratat was a little crisp in some places but other than that it was Excell two bakes were delish I could happily have more happily SAR has put
A huge amount of work into this I really like the idea of the two towers it’s a lot prettier than I expected I do like melan zani paragano it’s lovely it’s classic Annie’s starter is a beetroot tasting plate of beetroot tart tatan beetro and apple soup beetroot and walnut hummus
All served with horseradish cream I’m really really happy I’ve done everything I can do now I got all the dishes out on time it looked good on plate I just really really hope they enjoy [Music] it the tart was good of all the things on the beetroot plate definitely what
I thought tasted the best was the beetroot soup the soup was really good I actually liked the one at humus and I didn’t think I was going to I love this beetroot humus that’s a new one on me I mean I think they are lovely I mean she’s
Done an absolutely brilliant job I totally agree with you ready to go Tim ready to go Tom how much stuff can you get in one [Music] box don’t mess it up now come on come on come on come on
[Music] go are you from Japan oh my god of course Doo here you go and there are two layers so please take off the top layer when you’re ready Tim has made vegetable tempora bento box with vegetarian dashy roasted Romanesco Kira carrots quail’s eggs with matcha salt plum wine jelly rice and
Pickles there was a Japanese girl in there so that’s the real test that would settle our dispute I guess of whether or not it’s okay to have cold [Music] tempura it’s a little bit cold forur I think I was expecting more like hot and crispy but it’s quite cold I
Was quite disappointed it wasn’t hot this is the first time I’ve tried the Japanese Beto box and it’s very nice I’m impressed Tim has done a huge amount of work lots of extraordinary flavors in there like the pickled vegetables love the plum wine cracking amount of work gone in there Tom
Has made a spiced pumpkin tart with broad Bean basil puree caraway seed cabbage and a fondant [Music] potato I had the pumpkin pie it’s delicious I’ve never tasted anything like that before it’s a really nice arrangement of spices and stuff I didn’t like it at all it was too
Spicy for me far too spicy the only nice thing was the potato I didn’t really like the broad bean green stuff sorry I think I’ve seen a lot better things from Tom the broad Bean puree isn’t that good and the potato fondant is almost non-existent no flying colors from
Me the contestants have survived two services and delivered 80 plates of vegetarian food some have impressed with some exceptional dishes but others have struggled [Music] now they face their final test there’s no margin for error because two will be going [Music] home we think two of you did an absolutely outstanding job
Yesterday those two for the time being your place on Master Chef is [Music] secure Annie and Alice God off you go thank [Music] you oh my God it’s just the best feeling in the world to know that my place is safe for now wow isn’t that incredible I’m really happy oh I’m so
Flattered that’s [Music] fantastic you six now have just 1 hour to cook for Greg and I One vegetarian dish at the end of this two of you will be going home come up and collect your ingredients there are a few things that I would
Have hoped were here and aren’t here I have a plan in my head I think it’ll work 1 hour one extraordinary dish let’s Cook had a little bit of a shake yesterday it did Rock me a little bit what happens if you go home today I can’t think about that right now John because it’s just too upsetting and every time we go there I’m just getting to myself in a mess to
Go on it really would actually break my heart didn’t just come here just to do a bit of cooking I came here because I want to change my life and I want to do this you’ve had 15 [Music]
Minutes Kennedy what’s the dish that’s going to keep you in this competition gonzola and tomato tart you did a tart yesterday different tart though multitude of Tarts in the world I’ll only deserve to stay if my food is better than two
Other people so it better be a good day otherwise I’m out the door at this point now I need to pull this one out of the bag I need to really show something quite elegant and unbelievably tasty I can do it I know I can do it
I’m not going home no way I’m not I’m just if I do I’ll be devastated but I’m not putting that in my mind I’m staying here I’m afraid you’re going to have to put up with me for a little bit longer yet halfway everyone 30 minutes
[Music] left I’m petrified I need to keep calm and trying to focus really and not get the Headless Chicken [Music] syndrome Sara tell me the dish that’s going to keep you in the competition hopefully it’s a batut of orange and coconut vute
[Music] whoa can you get it right today Tim absolutely and if you go home how you going to feel like [Music] crying two people out of six that’s not good chance especially when it’s six people who are Great Cooks you’ve got 15 [Music] minutes crying out loud when will you ever
Tom what’s riding on this everything you know I’m I’m absolutely desperate to be in this competition it means the world to me and I’d be devastated if I left today so everything’s riding on It any mistake now could be [Music] terminal last five [Music] minutes stop time’s up first up is Tom with chickpea and red lentil spiced cakes butternut squash chips a stack of fennel onion and tomato and a tomato sauce all the intensity is in that little tomato and fenel and
Time stack you take a while before you can taste the cumin coming out of the inside of your patties there’s a combination in my mind that doesn’t work Tom it’s not unpleasant but those patties they just fall apart I don’t think you’ve quite pulled it off today
Tom Tim has made a sesame and ricotta [ __ ] telli a type of open ravioli with vegetarian carbonara roasted baby fennel and tomatoes I like the salty cheese you got inside and the sweetness of tomato I think you’re showing a fair bit of skill in in making the fatelli thank
You I got to say I’m really surprised by the combination sesame seeds ricotta cheese fennel black olives egg and the reason I’m surprised Tim cuz I think it’s fantastic thank you I think it’s really very very clever indeed thank you very much just extraordinary
The vegetarian Gorgonzola hasn’t arrived so Kennedy’s made a tart using Gorgonzola peppers and tomatoes with a basil oil vinegret is it a bit rough around the edges yeah it’s a bit rougher under edges but I was trying to do the best I could the issue we’ve got is that very strong salty Gorgonzola
Cheese very strong very rich overpowering the whole it’s not really a sort of vegetarian celebration it’s more it’s more more Sunday tea James has made the only Des dessert a fig tart with a sweet ricotta filling pomegranate syrup and a walnut snap it’s nicely made pastry but it’s not quite sweet enough the
Whole thing I can’t pick out the pomegranate at all I like that wonderful richness of the Fig the creaminess of the ricotta the flakiness of your pastry which is really well made made I didn’t expect to see a dish like this
From you today and I’m really impressed the issue is though you’ve divided the [Music] judges sar’s dish is a butternut squash orange coconut milk and cumin vute with caramelized oranges and potato crisps there’s nothing wrong with the way you’ve made your soup but
I don’t particularly like the flavor of it I think orange and butut squash is a little odd technically it’s beautifully made but I’m not in love with it either finally it’s Jackie’s dish a spiced OB je curry with lentil Dal and stuffed
Parathas your Dow with its taka inside it is lovely and spicy and very very rich your OB jeans are wonderful and creamy and well cooked I think it’s very very good indeed okay no greas there today is there
No get in there Jack I mean that that’s nice what the time to get it right thank you off you go it’s going be a tough one this One I’ve got to say the diversity of around the room for me was just Brian we know that Alice and Annie are safe now we have got to decide which of these two are the weakest this is how I see
It Tim’s dish was by far the cleverest by far the most skillful I think he did a brilliant job just cooked his way straight into the next round feel great that went so well John said it was fantastic and that’s exactly what I’m going for next best dish Jackie I agree adds
Up the Jackie what a massive big pound of bunch of flavor that was in a bowl I think she deserves to stay absolutely yesterday I let myself down and today I didn’t let myself down I went out there
I kept my nerve and I still pulled it off so I’m really really pleased I’m I’m really pleased Tim and Jackie definitely in the competition that leaves us now with James Kennedy Tom and Sarah
Are two I’ve got a real issue with and that’s Ken he did a tomato and cheese tart not the most ambitious uh attempt I’ve got to agree I think the idea of making pastry making a
Tart is a great thing to do but at this stage of the competition I tried to be as inventive as I could but there’s a lot of good-looking stuff out there which is a bit frightening Sara barut squash with orange the combination was always going to be a strange one but we both
