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 apart 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 that’s great and how do you feel in this environment where everybody’s probably I assume a non-vegetarian 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 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 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 an 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 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 and I’m hoping it’ll 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 okay and now I’ve got like three recipes with tofu in 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 all work itself it you have belief I don’t think that’s going to be that hot you’ve got 30 minutes left Sara and James are making the
Grilled vegetable halumi Salad I want to see the contestants keeping the vegetables crunchy I want them to grill them properly to give them nice color 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 and different Cuisine you know there meals that I’ll eat without Meat and Fish so you still there’s still hope for you uh I won’t [Laughter] 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 Flawlessly last two 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 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 coook 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 theart really nice really really really nice it is quite sweet and the feta is salty so this sort of Balancing Act and as 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
