It’s comeback time on Master Chef we’re looking for a great amateur cook who can make it as a professional someone who can turn out exceptional food I think I could actually win this competition I certainly got a damn good shot this year this is one tough
Competition if I don’t wi it this year I’m going to come back under a different name next year whoever wins it’ll change their life cooking doesn’t get tougher than this last series these three contestants didn’t quite make the grade now they’re back for one
More go at the Master Chef title I can do it I can go further in this competition I was really disappointed to go out in the in the quarters last time I think I’ve got the determination and the skill and the passion yeah hell I’m determined definitely and um yeah I said I
Think I’ve got a good chance this time they face two grueling challenges they have to impress the judges with their own two course meal it’s a really lovely clean elegant dish good on you but first it’s the endurance test they have to prove they have the skill and stamina to survive
Life in a professional kitchen by cooking in service for 18 hours if you’re not answering you’re not hearing that’s why I want an answer you’ve learned already that there’s coagulates learn from that get it of the fridh this is a long tough day this is about stamina endurance and
Focus it’s just after 500 a.m. and the contestants begin their 18-hour shift last time Turkish born Fatima won praise for her inventiveness but was let down by some unusual flavor combinations I like your style I like your bravery um that doesn’t particularly work for me garlic and
Grape is is a combination I’m I’m not used to I could have done much better than I did last time I’m much more serious and determined about where I want to go with cooking and um so I’m determined to succeed nerves got the better of graphic designer Billy last time after his
Chocolate fondant failed to deliver it’s like eating a bit of undercooked cake sure for me it’s not a true fondant I’m not bothered about uh proving something to someone but just doing as best I can and you know I think I’ve got a good a chance as anyone construction manager
Simon made it through to the quarterfinals but then he slipped up by cramming too many flavors onto the plate I feel as though the meat is not strong enough to cope with the rest of the flavors I don’t know why you want to put all these flavors together going out you
Think well what have I got to do to get even better you know so you just try and perfect and refine to maybe lose a few ingredients and uh yeah I definitely think I’m stronger than I was last year these guys today will have to think on their feet two services in a
Professional kitchen who has the stamina who has the skill and who has got that real want for this competition for the first part of their endurance test all three contestants will have to cook breakfast for over 150 guests at spices restaurant at the Crown Plaza in the
City where they’ll be cooking under the watchful eye of executive Chef Bruce Smith hi guys we’re going to be busy we’re going to be doing over 100 covers today so uh let’s get Kracken and have a good service breakfast service is about big numbers quickly people think breakfast is
Easy but you get stuck behind that stove and the dockets keep on coming and an egg comes back it’s not cooked properly the whole thing goes down each contestant is in charge of one section Billy is looking after the Poached Eggs including including the popular eggs benedict
They need to be cooked perfectly and at speed right two poached eggs away yes chef yes [Music] chef no cooking take them back and he’s off to a poor start Sam another X benedic tee things
Go from bad to worse one of these ex expiration Che I’m going have to put two more on I’m not nervous I’m just uh trying my hardest to get them out quick right let’s go we’re going to build up a checks here let’s go I need a faster service faster yeah as Billy
Struggles with the pace on the other side of the kitchen fattima is in charge of the full English breakfast one fries breakfast that’s full English yeah yes chef sorry I missed that one fries breakfast one full English Fri smage two fries breakfast she’s immediately
Swamped with orders I think there’s about six or seven things on one plate and uh it’s just a matter of you know managing the cooking CH and Under Pressure she becomes flustered I need two fried eggs anyone got to answer today if you’re not answering you’re not
Hearing she gets her first plates up to the pass but in the restaurant there’s a problem what’s wrong tomato is not cooked and sauces is very cold okay right let’s give me another fried breakfast yes chef while Fatima Rec cooks her fry up Simon is All Quiet on the Omelette
Section right s two ham and cheese omelette yeah Chef I’m Bo when ready hey omelet we have omelets I think I got the easy section you know somage one tomato onion ham and cheese Che omelette one mushroom and tomato omelette Che it’s like omelet time boys
Can’t just roll it over take your player he might talk a confident game but is his end product up to scratch just a bit bit too runny yeah okay just should have been need a bit more cooking maybe yeah just watch your shape on that yeah 3 hours into service and with
A packed restaurant the orders are flooding in one tomato and cheese omelette one fries breakfast after a shaky start Fatima begins to find her feet very good L however Billy is still struggling to keep up with the volume of Poached Eggs they all need
Cooking up take them back sorry messed one egg up and it kind of put you behind but uh trying to catch up now [Music] with the clock ticking the chef loses his patience get the free Xmen out it’s been a long time help out a little bit Yeah customers are waiting let’s
Go with service nearing an end Simon and Fatima are both turning out breakfast to the chef standards that’s a good omelette restaurant thank you Chef I’m always confident you know you got to
Go have a k a smile on your face K you and just think you’re going to do a good job nice color on the sausage mhm ex much better now yeah and that’s what I like well I didn’t panic I think
That was probably a relief to the chef 5 hours after the morning shift began service finally draws to a close Okay that’s the service boys and girls couple of complaints all in all not bad che
Che Chef thank Chef breakfast service it’s a real tough one Billy what what did he cook this morning and how did he get on Billy was on the uh poached egg section his eggs were probably not cooked
Enough and then they were overcooked he was sort of a bit slowish as well so really needs to pick his game up how did Fatima get on she started off bad a bit of a nightmare a few dishes went
Back but I think she got a coordination and she really done well and improved herself at the end of the day tell me about Simon Simon was U mainly on me omelets it was nearly there obviously it is
A neck and it takes a few you know goes at it to get it right but you know he done well if you invite one of them back into the kitchen who would it be and why I reckon Fatima because
She pulled her game round she didn’t crack you know and that takes a marking of a good Chef the three contestants are not even halfway through their grueling day and have to travel across town to cook an evening service at a new restaurant it’s a long service
It’s a fast service tonight for me is where it really really count will they cope the adrenaline is going to have to kick in because otherwise they won’t make it 8 hours into their 18-hour day and the contestants arrive at the popular vandry restaurant in London’s
West End where they’ll be working under head chef Brian Scully we’ve got a busy night ahead of us so the sooner we get in there and get cracking on with it the better good luck the three contestants have the afternoon to design and prep their own dishes before cooking them for paying
Customers this place gets rammed and they are going to get hit hard after a quiet breakfast service Simon is eager to impress chef with an ambitious dish of lamb cutlets roasted cherry tomatoes Geral mushrooms and a white onion sauce lamb
Mashed potato onion sauce and little baby Tomatoes you’re going to get slammed how you going to cope with that pressure um I’ll find out in about half an hour’s time but um I’m feel really confident i’ I’ve done a lot of prep work put a lot of hard working
Up front so uh yeah I’m going to I’ll give you a [Music] go lovely tender lamb on top mashed potato with the sweet acidity bursting in your mouth from the Cherry Tomas that’s perfect absolutely perfect it’s going to fly out the door will he get everyone
Right Billy struggled with the Poached Eggs this morning but is hoping for better luck with his own creation of chicken stuffed with mozzarella and basil wrapped in ham on a Water Crest sauce it is a fairly simple sounding dish sure do you think it’s going to sell really well I’ve tried
To pick something that’s sort of in the style of the restaurant and you know what it’s not a pretentious too fussy menu that they’ve got so hopefully it’ll be a winner we waiting to see after a good breakfast service fattima is cooking monk fish and muscles cooked
In a saffron and basil fish stock on canellini beans fat what’s the most difficult part for you to this dish it was actually preparing the stock and the alioli so I got most of that out of the way I made sure that I’m prepped as much as
Possible I think it’s going to sell really well her issue is getting all those ingredients together and then plated up John I think they are going to get hit much harder than they realized tonight because I think they’ve got these dishes absolutely right they sit on
This menu perfectly 12 hours after their day began the contestants must now keep Focus as evening service kicks off okay check on four R slam you’re in the frame Simon unlike breakfast Simon is immediately hit with orders four Mains four lamb so fish BOS is uh here we go
[Music] he gets his first plates out with the minimum of fuss got a nice dish Simon is off to a great start and faa’s monk fish is also proving popular her dish has a number of separate elements timings are crucial I need to start seeing this now nice just need
A speed now I need to get this off here are we there Fatima yep sh can I take this yes you can the hardest part is listening to the order and being able to hear what the shi’s instructions
Are hearing orders are not a worry for Billy he’s not getting any don’t worry Billy your time will come when we’re going low on the uh mon in alarm we start pushing the chicken yeah but when they do arrive he’s not paying attention three chicken two c really yes three chicken
Yes Billy get the cream in there man come on we need to get this up during the long wait Billy left the cream out of the fridge and it’s gone off cream is coagulating somebody got me some cream please let’s get this up remember when you add cream to that the temperature’s going
To go down Billy I’m bringing this up onto the pass I need to see it a little behind he gets his first plates to the pass trying to remember several things at once but we’re learning pretty
Fast so I think we’ve got rid of most of the mistakes so far hope the rest of the night will be okay 16 hours into the endurance test the restaurant is packed and fatigue is setting
In it’s three mon fish in total no I was told one and then two two monish I get a monkfish on straight away please may be my accent but you need to listen quite closely I’m sorry out there
Yeah Chef I’m going to run out of sauce so after the 6 one there’ll be no more I don’t think we got time to make any more sauce we need to get this sorted off because we can’t afford to run
Out of monfish if we got some in the building it’s a disaster for Fatima she hasn’t made enough sauce and the or ERS for her fish are still flooding in one and A2 minutes on these
Two mfish please yes chef chef is left with no option but to summon help stay with stay with FMA for a few minutes she’s in a bit of trouble is she need color out it’s quite a shock to the
System when you work in such heat and such Pace while Fatima struggles Simon continues to ride out the service got eight eight lamb on I think F it’s going out so I can’t GR Simon get in there is no more lamb after this one you’re out of the frame yeah no
Disasters and uh yeah I’m uh I’m free so I’m buzzing yeah it’s superb and with service coming to a close Billy is cooking with confidence for the first time today few tense moments few oldd mess ups but overall I’m pretty
Pleased right guys that’s it we’re done than tail DW right done Lads well done be [Music] CL it’s time for headchef Brian to give the judges his verdict tell me how Simon got on he got hit the hardest and got hit quite early lamb flew out the window Fatima the next busiest buckled
A little bit under pressure and fell into that sin of sins began to R run out of garage for the extra monkfish that she had halfway through the evening Billy on the surface looks the most nervous person
But seems to get it up in the calest way possible so tonight who’s the star of your kitchen I would say Simon he held us cold did really [Music] well it’s early morning on day two and the contestants
Arrive at Master Chef HQ for the final test I think this is the crunch time now the best cook is going to come out on the day and hopefully that would be me how would anyone feel if they won
Mas it would be absolutely fantastic hopefully if it’s close to day I’ll be the one that that gets through feeling good feeling confident just really want to get in there and get on with it I’m going
To kick it today really I’m going to do [Music] well your two courses one quarterfinal Place let’s [Music] cook after surviving the grueling 18-hour double shift in the Pro kitchens the contestants must now impress with their own two course [Music] menu Fatima had a mixed
Day in the Pro kitchens and must now step up a gear with her own food food FMA once again we have lots of ingredients uh on your bench from foreign worlds just a remind us of your family background F I’m Turkish um and half Kurdish grew up in Australia what are you
Going to cook for us today duck and pomegranate molasses sauce with sour cherry pilloff and a beetro relish on the side and dessert is baked peaches in cardamon with a burnt orange syrup and vanilla cream do you think you can win today fattima I I think I bring a different
Element different element that’s for sure that’s for sure thank you FAA thanks [Music] guys be TR relish is pink and pink food very rarely works but her dessert I love the idea of it Peach flavor is lovely does it want Citrus lime on it I’m not convinced
John you’ve had 20 minutes Billy struggled in both restaurants he can’t afford any more mistakes if he’s to progress further in the competition Billy you going to cook us two dishes I am yeah uh what are they Thai style fish cakes
With a Dion relish salad and then chicken in a mushroom and Cornish meat sauce I like the sound of the dishes are you good enough this year Billy to go all the way yeah I think I was good
Enough last year to be honest but it’s all down to what happens on the day one or two mistakes or one or two things going well and it’s up to you guys at the end of the day isn’t [Music] it
His main course I like the idea of chicken with a mead sauce I think sounds great is it missing one more component part ladies and gentlemen you have but 20 minutes left 20 minutes [Music] left Simon hopes own two courses will continue the great success he enjoyed in the evening service
Simon what are you going to cook for us I’m doing a starter of scallops on a sweet corn puree with a black pudding and walnut crumble uh with crispy skin and the main hopefully keeping that quite simple this time plet of beef with a horse relish Mash with some uh brazed baby
Onions and a hickory and licorice you and that’s keeping it simple yeah I’ve only got an hour he’s already proved he can cook I don’t understand what he’s trying to prove by putting all those ingredients [Music] together 5 minutes guys that is [Music]
It youve got just 1 minute to finish off 1 minute [Music] that’s it time’s [Music] up fattima is looking to impress with a man of duck in pomegranate and molasses sauce with sour cherry peaf and beetroot relish the earthy almost sweet beetroot I get it’s this acidity
That is the base flavor and it’s the pomegranate I wouldn’t reorder this dish the good thing about this is that we all have personal tastes I like the idea of that duck against the sourness the pomegranate and I really like that Rice divided
We are her dessert is a whole baked peach in cardamon and burnt orange syrup with vanilla cream I’ve rarely eaten something so sweet that has such a sharp clean finish and I doubt it it that’s lovely I love it I love that really soft roast Peach I love the card that sits in
The back of your throat on that orange it’s really really great you are an exciting cook Fatima a thought-provoking cook that’s for sure thank you thanks for his starter Billy has cooked Thai fish cakes daon radish salad and chili dipping
Sauce I really like it because actually you have balance the flavors really well sweet sour salty and hot I think it’s a really lovely clean elegant dish good on you thanks very much maybe a little too acidic but I would definitely finish my
Plate can Billy’s man of chicken in mushroom and Cornish Mead sauce build on his good start the first flavor I get is not chicken actually it’s honey and then mix that with that potato and it’s not just the flavors but the textures a bit
Weird that potato stack is just a wishy-washy finish it’s a little bit watery it needs seasoning or it needs a lot of butter or it needs something do you think that you’ve done enough to get you into the the place you want to
Be I think I’ve got a good shotter yeah I’m quite happy for his starter Simon has made scollops with sweet corn puree black pudding and walnut crumble and crispy chicken skin what I’m left with this very sort of earthy almost sort of dried
Dirt texture of Walnut left on my palette rather than being lovely and fresh U I really like it um the sweetness of that corn and the saltiness of that crispy skin and that beautiful Rich sweet scallop I think is lovely Simon’s main is
Fillet of beef horseradish mash and bread raised baby onions with Hickory Jew that sauce is seriously seriously powerful it’s wiping out so many other flavors I can’t even taste the horse feish in that mashed potato it’s very original I mean I do really enjoy your sauce and uh and your beef is cooked
Beautifully everything’s cooked beautifully interesting food do you think you done enough is it yours today it’s too close to cool I think I would hope so yeah Greg and I are going to have a conversation cuz we’ve only got one quarterfinal place off you go thank
You what’s interesting today is there were a few mistakes there were a few things that weren’t quite right but there was also some very very good cooking today Billy worked hard today Asian fish cakes nice little dipping sauce and a daon salad really like the flavor it
I’d love the look of his fish cakes um I almost love the flavors I thought it was slightly too acidic the chicken dish lovely chicken the stack was a bit sort of watery and milky against that
Mushroom and almost honey Rich Meade sauce it started with a big punch that dish and it just ended with a whimper I I definitely think I should enough skill to get through it’s all down now to whether they think that’s more than the other guys did so at least it’s out of my
Hands you and I divided over Fatima I know that the idea of pomegranate and the rice and the the dried cherries and the duck I really like that that sharpness that savory sharpness rather than sweetness I couldn’t could not get my tongue around that almost Citrus acidic pomegranate
I just thought where are we going with this where are we going I don’t know where we going but could it please stop so I can get off her dessert beautifully well roasted Peach with lime when
You ate it it was just really exciting I think Fus Peach was was truly lovely it shows what the lady is capable of I’ll give you that I’ve got the drive and the passion for the food I cook so
Yes I think I could go right to the end let’s talk about Simon cuz Simon did very very well last night Simon was definitely the star of the professional Kitchen last night the issue I have today is beautiful scallops black pudding chicken skin and cream corn love the idea of it but then
It’s salty and then it’s sweet from the walnuts I love that scallop dish and John there is no questioning the cookery skill the imagination and the amount of work that is going into his food and that’s brilliant as long as it tastes okay it confused my palette completely not quite as much
As his main course beef mushroom blue cheese onions and all I got was that hickory sauce and that piece of steak he is doing adventurous thought-provoking food and that is what we want from a finalist I’m absolutely desperate to go through that’s why I’m here you know I was I was
Uh in bits after going out last year and and I’m really can’t face it again this year who do we go for well you know how I feel person going through to the next round it’s
Simon yeah a bit gutted but I did my best I’ll be glad to get home but it would have been nice to go through I’ll always carry on cooking it’s if you Lov something you do all
The time anyway so you don’t need to worry about that one I’m going back happy a little bit disappointed but it was a good Adventure I’m a predetermined girl I’ll I’ll uh pursue my dreams oh yes I’m so happy M I tell you it’s unbelievable means absolutely everything you know
Is a second chance and it is the last chance and uh yeah I’m absolutely absolutely over the moon I’m I’m just s a bit bit of shock at the moment and I can’t run around naked but like I feel like
Doing Simon will be back for the quarterfinal where he’ll face three other exceptional Cooks for

With peace and love, why is it that every other English man looks they’ve been addicted to meth for decades? Seriously. You don’t see that in the Scots, Irish, or Welsh. It’s the English specifically.
All these London views in the beginning convinced me that I’m due a trip home. It’s been decades.
Yum on the full English. I cook that every weekend (with a few twists). Timing on the eggs is everything 🍳 (multiple perfectly poached eggs should be cooked in advance, then dropped back into water to finish. Easy peasy 🤷♀️)
