1
00:00:02,920 --> 00:00:05,335
This year on Great British Menu...
2
00:00:05,360 --> 00:00:07,095
Hot stuff coming through.
3
00:00:07,120 --> 00:00:10,135
The creme de la creme
of the UK's chefs
4
00:00:10,160 --> 00:00:12,575
are cooking their hearts out...
Ooh la la!
5
00:00:12,600 --> 00:00:13,935
...for a chance to cook
6
00:00:13,960 --> 00:00:17,175
at the prestigious
Great British Menu Banquet...
7
00:00:17,200 --> 00:00:18,295
Rock and roll!
8
00:00:18,320 --> 00:00:20,935
...which this year
celebrates Britain's triumphs
9
00:00:20,960 --> 00:00:23,495
in animation and illustration.
10
00:00:23,520 --> 00:00:25,055
That's amazing!
11
00:00:25,080 --> 00:00:28,495
Of course, the chefs' dishes
must taste delicious.
12
00:00:28,520 --> 00:00:30,495
I'm not giving out points
for confidence, right?
13
00:00:30,520 --> 00:00:33,335
But they must represent
the theme, too.
14
00:00:34,920 --> 00:00:38,455
A roster of revered
Great British Menu winners...
15
00:00:38,480 --> 00:00:40,815
Snakes. That'll be the snakes.
16
00:00:40,840 --> 00:00:45,215
...are returning as veteran judges to
score the regional rounds.
17
00:00:45,240 --> 00:00:46,935
I'm scoring you a ten.
18
00:00:46,960 --> 00:00:48,695
I would give you an 11 if I could.
19
00:00:48,720 --> 00:00:52,335
They've got their eyes peeled
and taste buds primed
20
00:00:52,360 --> 00:00:56,375
for supreme culinary skill and
unparalleled talent.
21
00:00:56,400 --> 00:00:58,015
Go hard or go home. Focused.
22
00:00:58,040 --> 00:01:00,735
The pressure is on as,
at the end of each day,
23
00:01:00,760 --> 00:01:04,455
the least successful
chef will leave the competition.
24
00:01:04,480 --> 00:01:06,415
Exciting!
25
00:01:06,440 --> 00:01:08,295
Today, it's the best
up-and-coming chefs
26
00:01:08,320 --> 00:01:09,935
from London and the south-east...
27
00:01:09,960 --> 00:01:11,095
Thanks.
28
00:01:11,120 --> 00:01:14,255
...trying to impress veteran chef
Tommy Banks...
29
00:01:14,280 --> 00:01:15,375
Wow.
30
00:01:15,400 --> 00:01:17,775
...with their main course
and dessert.
31
00:01:17,800 --> 00:01:20,295
Is that on? Stressful.
Oh, stressful!
32
00:01:20,320 --> 00:01:24,615
Yesterday, the stars were not
aligned for Brian
33
00:01:24,640 --> 00:01:26,255
in the starter and fish course.
34
00:01:26,280 --> 00:01:27,375
Agh!
35
00:01:27,400 --> 00:01:31,055
And despite some positive feedback,
Tommy felt his dishes
36
00:01:31,080 --> 00:01:32,655
weren't quite on brief.
37
00:01:32,680 --> 00:01:34,895
It's lovely having you in the
kitchen. You're such a joy.
38
00:01:34,920 --> 00:01:36,415
Thank you. Thank you.
39
00:01:36,440 --> 00:01:38,655
Now, three talented chefs remain -
40
00:01:38,680 --> 00:01:41,295
newcomer Avi Shashidhara...
41
00:01:41,320 --> 00:01:45,015
I'm really excited to show
a different side of my cooking.
42
00:01:45,040 --> 00:01:46,215
...Budgie Montoya...
43
00:01:46,240 --> 00:01:49,335
I set a goal for myself
to be able to cook my whole menu,
44
00:01:49,360 --> 00:01:51,575
so new goal - try and win it.
45
00:01:51,600 --> 00:01:54,015
...and returning chef Robbie
Lorraine...
46
00:01:54,040 --> 00:01:55,295
Made it, made it, made it!
47
00:01:55,320 --> 00:01:58,215
...who left the competition after
the fish course last year
48
00:01:58,240 --> 00:02:00,975
so has something to prove.
49
00:02:01,000 --> 00:02:02,575
I didn't come here just
to participate.
50
00:02:02,600 --> 00:02:04,015
I want to get a dish at the banquet.
51
00:02:04,040 --> 00:02:07,095
With just one point
between the three chefs,
52
00:02:07,120 --> 00:02:09,135
we're in for a white-knuckle ride.
53
00:02:09,160 --> 00:02:10,935
Let's hope it goes well, shall we?
54
00:02:22,400 --> 00:02:25,855
The three top chefs for London
and the south-east must now compete
55
00:02:25,880 --> 00:02:27,375
over mains and desserts.
56
00:02:27,400 --> 00:02:29,255
Avi is in the lead on 14 points,
57
00:02:29,280 --> 00:02:32,695
and Robbie and Budgie are hot
on his heels with 13 points.
58
00:02:32,720 --> 00:02:35,055
They need to stay focused and
keep on track
59
00:02:35,080 --> 00:02:37,575
because only the top two
will get to cook for the judges.
60
00:02:38,640 --> 00:02:40,215
Right, lads. Main course today.
Yeah.
61
00:02:40,240 --> 00:02:42,135
It's the one that everyone
wants to be in, right?
62
00:02:42,160 --> 00:02:44,415
I'm really excited. I'll be running
about like a lunatic.
63
00:02:44,440 --> 00:02:46,575
You're going to see a different
style of cooking today,
64
00:02:46,600 --> 00:02:50,495
so I'm bringing my real experience
of cooking to this main course.
65
00:02:50,520 --> 00:02:51,935
You're the one to beat, eh?
66
00:02:54,040 --> 00:02:56,335
The veteran they're trying
to impress this week
67
00:02:56,360 --> 00:03:00,335
is one of the UK's most exciting
and innovative restaurateurs,
68
00:03:00,360 --> 00:03:03,335
holder of two Michelin stars,
Tommy Banks.
69
00:03:05,560 --> 00:03:09,735
The chefs need to be on their mettle
if they want to impress him.
70
00:03:09,760 --> 00:03:12,215
London and the south-east has always
been a very strong region
71
00:03:12,240 --> 00:03:13,415
in this competition.
72
00:03:13,440 --> 00:03:16,135
The last two years, the banquet
winner for the main course
73
00:03:16,160 --> 00:03:18,935
has come from this region,
so they've got big shoes to fill.
74
00:03:18,960 --> 00:03:20,775
Well, good luck, everyone. Let's go!
75
00:03:20,800 --> 00:03:22,695
Let's do it.
76
00:03:22,720 --> 00:03:25,615
Budgie is just one point behind Avi.
77
00:03:25,640 --> 00:03:28,495
He scored an impressive
eight for his fish course
78
00:03:28,520 --> 00:03:32,455
and will be hoping to close the gap
with another knockout dish today.
79
00:03:34,000 --> 00:03:35,175
Budgie. Hi, guys.
80
00:03:35,200 --> 00:03:36,775
Talk to us about your main course.
81
00:03:36,800 --> 00:03:40,175
So, the name of the dish is
A Meal Fit For Fantastic Foxes.
82
00:03:40,200 --> 00:03:43,095
Fantastic Mr Fox.
Fantastic Mr Fox by Roald Dahl
83
00:03:43,120 --> 00:03:45,375
and illustration by Quentin Blake.
84
00:03:45,400 --> 00:03:47,135
I slightly fancy Mr Fox.
85
00:03:47,160 --> 00:03:48,295
Each their own.
86
00:03:48,320 --> 00:03:51,695
There's just something
a little about Fantastic Mr Fox.
87
00:03:51,720 --> 00:03:55,175
It's based on the three main
villains - Boggis, Bunce and Bean.
88
00:03:55,200 --> 00:03:56,935
They have a specific diet,
each one of them.
89
00:03:56,960 --> 00:04:00,335
So, Boggis only eats chicken. Right.
Bunce, doughnuts with parfait.
90
00:04:00,360 --> 00:04:02,335
Ancl Bean drinks cider.
91
00:04:02,360 --> 00:04:05,615
So all of these sort of elements
are going to come to the dish.
92
00:04:05,640 --> 00:04:07,855
So we've got a chicken,
which I'm going to ballotine
93
00:04:07,880 --> 00:04:09,215
and stuff with the leg meat,
94
00:04:09,240 --> 00:04:12,375
and then to finish it, I'm going to
get it in the deep-fryer.
95
00:04:12,400 --> 00:04:15,215
You'll fry it? just to get
that skin super-crispy.
96
00:04:15,240 --> 00:04:17,855
Ancl in the sausage mix,
I'm going to put banana ketchup,
97
00:04:17,880 --> 00:04:21,375
classic Filipino condiment,
to put a bit of sweetness in there.
98
00:04:21,400 --> 00:04:23,455
Ancl then I'm going to do a little
choux bun
99
00:04:23,480 --> 00:04:25,055
with a liver parfait in there,
100
00:04:25,080 --> 00:04:28,775
and then cider in thejus, glazed
carrots with cider and butter.
101
00:04:28,800 --> 00:04:31,535
Ancl then obviously you're going to
have a little bit of cider on the side.
102
00:04:31,560 --> 00:04:32,575
Nice.
103
00:04:33,880 --> 00:04:37,455
Despite getting a disappointing six
for his fish course,
104
00:04:37,480 --> 00:04:40,295
Avi has managed to hang on to the
top spot,
105
00:04:40,320 --> 00:04:41,855
but only by one point.
106
00:04:41,880 --> 00:04:46,575
So he'll be hoping to regain his
form with his main course.
107
00:04:46,600 --> 00:04:49,335
So, the title of the dish
is What's A Squab?
108
00:04:49,360 --> 00:04:52,175
Inspired by the movie
Fantastic Mr Fox.
109
00:04:52,200 --> 00:04:54,375
Hark, Budgie!
110
00:04:54,400 --> 00:04:56,215
Yeah, he's doing the movie,
I'm doing the book,
111
00:04:56,240 --> 00:04:58,175
so, you know...
112
00:04:58,200 --> 00:05:02,055
I've chosen the scene where Mr
and Mrs Fox are at Squab Farm,
113
00:05:02,080 --> 00:05:04,575
and Mrs Fox asks
Mr Fox, "What's a squab?"
114
00:05:04,600 --> 00:05:05,655
What is a squab?
115
00:05:05,680 --> 00:05:07,695
So, he says, "I don't know,
it's some sort of a pigeon."
116
00:05:07,720 --> 00:05:10,215
So that's the inspiration
for the dish. OK.
117
00:05:10,240 --> 00:05:12,855
I'm going to stuff my pigeons
with some thyme and some sage,
118
00:05:12,880 --> 00:05:15,455
colour it in the pan, roast it
in the oven with a bit of Marsala.
119
00:05:15,480 --> 00:05:18,175
I'm going to serve it
with chestnuts, pancetta,
120
00:05:18,200 --> 00:05:22,415
sweet quince cheese, girolles
and some roasted pumpkins, too.
121
00:05:22,440 --> 00:05:24,415
I love the idea of the pumpkin
with the girolle
122
00:05:24,440 --> 00:05:26,695
and the chestnuts. Wonderful.
123
00:05:28,680 --> 00:05:31,655
Robbie scored a point more for
his fish course than his starter,
124
00:05:31,680 --> 00:05:35,815
so he'll be hoping to carry on
that trajectory with his main.
125
00:05:37,840 --> 00:05:39,495
My dish is called Darkest Peru,
126
00:05:39,520 --> 00:05:41,175
and it's inspired by
Paddington Bear.
127
00:05:41,200 --> 00:05:43,655
So, we're going back to
where he originally came from,
128
00:05:43,680 --> 00:05:45,615
which was obviously Peru.
129
00:05:45,640 --> 00:05:46,855
Peru!
130
00:05:46,880 --> 00:05:49,175
Huh? Wow!
131
00:05:49,200 --> 00:05:53,455
You can have this as a reward
for helping me today.
132
00:05:53,480 --> 00:05:57,055
So we have a Paddington
origin story? Correct. Lovely. OK.
133
00:05:57,080 --> 00:05:59,135
So, I've got a beautiful
sirloin of beef.
134
00:05:59,160 --> 00:06:01,215
I'm going to marinate it
in Peruvian spices,
135
00:06:01,240 --> 00:06:04,095
cook it in a water bath and then
finish it off on the barbecue.
136
00:06:04,120 --> 00:06:06,015
I'm going to make an
aji verde sauce,
137
00:06:06,040 --> 00:06:07,735
which is a condiment from Peru.
138
00:06:07,760 --> 00:06:08,975
And then the beef fat?
139
00:06:09,000 --> 00:06:11,815
So, with the beetroot, I'm going
to turn it into a long strip,
140
00:06:11,840 --> 00:06:14,215
cook it in a little bit of vinegar
and a little bit of stock,
141
00:06:14,240 --> 00:06:16,415
and then I'm going to finish it off
in beef dripping.
142
00:06:16,440 --> 00:06:17,855
Wow. OK.
143
00:06:17,880 --> 00:06:20,575
You've got bread, so is this
like a marmalade sandwich?
144
00:06:20,600 --> 00:06:22,895
It is going to be
a short-rib marmalade sandwich,
145
00:06:22,920 --> 00:06:25,495
and I'm going to pan-fry it.
Right! Yeah.
146
00:06:25,520 --> 00:06:30,055
Short-rib marmalade...
fried sandwich. All words I love.
147
00:06:31,840 --> 00:06:33,695
What do you think of
all these three dishes, Chef?
148
00:06:33,720 --> 00:06:35,055
Three very, very different takes.
149
00:06:35,080 --> 00:06:37,855
Again, ultimately, it comes down
to who cooks the meat the best.
150
00:06:37,880 --> 00:06:39,455
They all look at each other there!
151
00:06:44,480 --> 00:06:47,935
The centrepiece of Budgie's dish
is a chicken ballotine
152
00:06:47,960 --> 00:06:50,815
stuffed with chicken sausage.
153
00:06:50,840 --> 00:06:52,735
So, I'm going to use the skin
for the outside,
154
00:06:52,760 --> 00:06:54,695
then the breast is going to be
used in the middle.
155
00:06:54,720 --> 00:06:58,575
Ancl then all the meat trimmings
I'm going to use as sausage mix.
156
00:07:07,480 --> 00:07:11,375
Budgie's banana ketchup
includes onion, garlic, chillies
157
00:07:11,400 --> 00:07:12,775
and, of course, bananas.
158
00:07:14,680 --> 00:07:16,295
Bananas go in.
159
00:07:16,320 --> 00:07:19,415
Don't need to clean it.
There's flavour in there.
160
00:07:19,440 --> 00:07:21,655
He blitzes with brown sugar
and soy sauce.
161
00:07:24,160 --> 00:07:25,935
Budgie's dish,
it's an intriguing dish.
162
00:07:25,960 --> 00:07:27,375
I'm looking forward to seeing it.
163
00:07:27,400 --> 00:07:29,055
I'm quite excited by the
banana ketchup.
164
00:07:29,080 --> 00:07:30,215
I've never seen that before.
165
00:07:30,240 --> 00:07:32,695
But then
the chicken ballotine itself-
166
00:07:32,720 --> 00:07:33,855
deep-frying it?
167
00:07:33,880 --> 00:07:35,655
If you fry it,
it better be juicy.
168
00:07:35,680 --> 00:07:38,535
I think, though, he's going to give
us a glass of cider, get us drunk,
169
00:07:38,560 --> 00:07:41,095
and that's going to gloss over
any... It's a good technique!
170
00:07:43,920 --> 00:07:48,655
Having previously impressed with his
use of spices and complex flavours,
171
00:07:48,680 --> 00:07:51,615
Avi wants to show off
how versatile he can be
172
00:07:51,640 --> 00:07:53,975
with a more scaled-down
list of ingredients.
173
00:07:56,760 --> 00:07:58,415
I'm feeling quite confident.
174
00:07:58,440 --> 00:08:00,415
I'm really excited about this dish,
175
00:08:00,440 --> 00:08:02,055
to show a different side
of my cooking.
176
00:08:03,600 --> 00:08:05,815
Avi's stuffed squab
with sage and thyme
177
00:08:05,840 --> 00:08:09,935
before browning and topping with
pancetta, then roasting.
178
00:08:14,000 --> 00:08:16,375
He seasons his Delica pumpkin.
179
00:08:18,320 --> 00:08:22,975
So, I've got some pumpkin with a
bit of chilli flakes, salt, pepper,
180
00:08:23,000 --> 00:08:24,815
olive oil, sage, thyme.
181
00:08:26,440 --> 00:08:29,575
So, they'll roast in there
for about 20 minutes.
182
00:08:29,600 --> 00:08:31,575
Avi's a very competent cook.
183
00:08:31,600 --> 00:08:33,895
I've really been challenged by
his food so far this week
184
00:08:33,920 --> 00:08:35,855
and sort of excited by it.
185
00:08:35,880 --> 00:08:37,575
Whereas I can already
sort of understand
186
00:08:37,600 --> 00:08:39,255
what this dish is
going to taste like.
187
00:08:39,280 --> 00:08:42,695
So, is it going to have
that wow factor? Yes.
188
00:08:43,760 --> 00:08:47,415
For added sweetness
in his short rib sandwiches,
189
00:08:47,440 --> 00:08:49,415
Robbie is using citrus.
190
00:08:49,440 --> 00:08:51,295
I've got a little orange gel
on the go here.
191
00:08:51,320 --> 00:08:53,295
Agar, orange juice,
a little bit of sugar.
192
00:08:53,320 --> 00:08:55,935
I'm going to bring that to the boil,
set it in the blast chiller
193
00:08:55,960 --> 00:08:58,015
and then I'm going to blend it
into a fluid gel.
194
00:08:59,320 --> 00:09:01,655
Paddington's favourite
- orange marmalade -
195
00:09:01,680 --> 00:09:04,055
goes into his shredded short rib.
196
00:09:07,240 --> 00:09:11,215
And a Peruvian spice rub
is added to the beef sirloin
197
00:09:11,240 --> 00:09:13,375
before it's cooked
in the water bath.
198
00:09:15,640 --> 00:09:17,615
I love the sound of this dish,
199
00:09:17,640 --> 00:09:22,495
particularly the marmalade
short-rib fried sandwich.
200
00:09:22,520 --> 00:09:25,375
Yeah. It's just this sirloin of beef
that's bothering me a little bit.
201
00:09:25,400 --> 00:09:28,015
Yes. It's called Darkest Peru. Mm.
202
00:09:28,040 --> 00:09:31,335
Get it on the barbecue and get
lots of smoke going through...
203
00:09:31,360 --> 00:09:34,455
Char, lovely. ..and some char
and sort of the burnt ends.
204
00:09:34,480 --> 00:09:36,735
You want all that, that flavour.
205
00:09:36,760 --> 00:09:38,695
Ancl I think he's missing a trick
with that.
206
00:09:43,840 --> 00:09:46,455
At Boys Hall,
the Kent restaurant where,
207
00:09:46,480 --> 00:09:48,055
until recently,
Robbie was head chef,
208
00:09:48,080 --> 00:09:51,695
he got some expert
marmalade-based help
209
00:09:51,720 --> 00:09:53,335
when visited by Karen jankel,
210
00:09:53,360 --> 00:09:56,855
daughter of Paddington creator
Michael Bond.
211
00:09:58,720 --> 00:10:01,335
I've always been
a huge fan of Paddington.
212
00:10:01,360 --> 00:10:03,855
Where did Paddington's
love of marmalade come from?
213
00:10:03,880 --> 00:10:05,455
Well, when my father wrote
the books,
214
00:10:05,480 --> 00:10:07,895
he knew that bears
liked sweet things,
215
00:10:07,920 --> 00:10:11,295
and he himself particularly
was fond of marmalade.
216
00:10:11,320 --> 00:10:14,615
Talking of marmalade, we've
got here Peruvian spiced beef
217
00:10:14,640 --> 00:10:16,735
and a short-rib marmalade sandwich.
218
00:10:16,760 --> 00:10:20,455
I'm going to try the sandwich.
This looks absolutely wonderful.
219
00:10:20,480 --> 00:10:22,535
Of course, Paddington would
pick it up in his paws,
220
00:10:22,560 --> 00:10:24,015
but I don't think I should do that.
221
00:10:26,480 --> 00:10:28,615
That is absolutely delicious.
222
00:10:28,640 --> 00:10:31,615
You can just taste the marmalade
coming through,
223
00:10:31,640 --> 00:10:35,175
but it doesn't overwhelm it.
It's wonderful.
224
00:10:35,200 --> 00:10:36,615
Glad you enjoy it.
225
00:10:36,640 --> 00:10:39,855
Ancl actually my father would have
really approved of your dish
226
00:10:39,880 --> 00:10:42,015
because he used to eat marmalade
with bacon.
227
00:10:42,040 --> 00:10:43,215
Amazing.
228
00:10:43,240 --> 00:10:44,575
Great minds think alike!
229
00:10:48,280 --> 00:10:49,895
Back in the kitchen...
230
00:10:49,920 --> 00:10:51,095
Backs.
231
00:10:51,120 --> 00:10:53,215
I'm trying to multitask.
232
00:10:53,240 --> 00:10:55,095
...Budgie has a lot to get through
233
00:10:55,120 --> 00:10:58,935
to recreate the favourite foods of
the Fantastic Mr Fox characters.
234
00:11:00,520 --> 00:11:02,815
Looking like it's going to be
tight for time,
235
00:11:02,840 --> 00:11:04,855
but, yeah,
just got to crack on, really.
236
00:11:04,880 --> 00:11:07,775
Whilst his chicken ballotine
is steaming,
237
00:11:07,800 --> 00:11:10,775
he blends duck livers with shallots,
herbs and double cream
238
00:11:10,800 --> 00:11:12,175
for his doughnut filling.
239
00:11:13,680 --> 00:11:15,575
Don't split, don't split,
don't split, please.
240
00:11:15,600 --> 00:11:17,655
Then sieves and leaves to rest.
241
00:11:20,640 --> 00:11:24,335
Next, Budgie starts
his apple ciderjus.
242
00:11:24,360 --> 00:11:27,775
All the chicken trim, bones, etc,
brown them off with some mirepoix,
243
00:11:27,800 --> 00:11:29,455
and then some cider,
244
00:11:29,480 --> 00:11:31,535
a little bit of port and red wine.
245
00:11:32,960 --> 00:11:34,975
And for his parfait-filled
doughnuts,
246
00:11:35,000 --> 00:11:38,895
Budgie is making a choux bun mix
with milk, water and butter,
247
00:11:38,920 --> 00:11:40,495
which he brings to the boil.
248
00:11:41,480 --> 00:11:45,815
I've reduced it too much, so
I'm going to need to do this again.
249
00:11:45,840 --> 00:11:48,735
He already has a huge prep list
to get through,
250
00:11:48,760 --> 00:11:52,095
so starting again
is the last thing he needs.
251
00:11:53,560 --> 00:11:56,375
Budgie, how are you going?
I'm all right, Chef.
252
00:11:56,400 --> 00:11:58,575
Titanic springs to mind, though!
253
00:11:58,600 --> 00:11:59,815
That didn't end well. Yeah.
254
00:11:59,840 --> 00:12:01,895
Your ballotine, is that cooked?
255
00:12:01,920 --> 00:12:04,215
Yeah, cooked.
Got the jus working now.
256
00:12:04,240 --> 00:12:06,415
Ancl then I've got the choux buns
working right now.
257
00:12:06,440 --> 00:12:08,775
Oh, wow, you have not made
your choux paste yet? No.
258
00:12:08,800 --> 00:12:10,135
You've got banana ketchup.
259
00:12:10,160 --> 00:12:12,775
Yeah, it's going through
the sausage mix for the ballotine.
260
00:12:12,800 --> 00:12:15,015
Ancl then also I'm going to
clot some on the plate as well.
261
00:12:15,040 --> 00:12:16,255
Interesting.
262
00:12:17,680 --> 00:12:18,735
Budgie's busy.
263
00:12:18,760 --> 00:12:21,255
I thought he'd have his choux buns
made by now, but he doesn't.
264
00:12:21,280 --> 00:12:23,295
So I'm a little bit concerned
about that.
265
00:12:23,320 --> 00:12:26,015
Tried his banana ketchup, though.
That's nice.
266
00:12:28,200 --> 00:12:30,295
Whilst Budgie is pushing,
267
00:12:30,320 --> 00:12:35,215
the simplicity of Avi's dish means
he has time on his side.
268
00:12:35,240 --> 00:12:38,055
Avi's taking over Brian's calm,
cool and collectedness...
269
00:12:38,080 --> 00:12:40,655
That's hot, very hot. Very hot pan!
270
00:12:42,160 --> 00:12:45,095
Avi slices and fries pancetta
271
00:12:45,120 --> 00:12:47,255
and makes a start on
his Marsala sauce.
272
00:12:49,840 --> 00:12:52,735
I've reduced the Marsala. I'm adding
a bit of pigeon stock in there.
273
00:12:52,760 --> 00:12:54,095
I'm going to reduce all of that.
274
00:12:54,120 --> 00:12:55,975
I'm going to monte some butter
in there
275
00:12:56,000 --> 00:12:57,935
and make it into
a really glossy sauce.
276
00:12:59,880 --> 00:13:02,895
To create his
Paddington-inspired main course,
277
00:13:02,920 --> 00:13:05,295
Robbie is using beetroot
in two ways -
278
00:13:05,320 --> 00:13:08,015
purple beetroot
deep-fried croquettes,
279
00:13:08,040 --> 00:13:10,575
and he's also preparing
golden beetroot.
280
00:13:12,040 --> 00:13:14,295
I'm going to spin it
so it makes one long sheet,
281
00:13:14,320 --> 00:13:17,735
and I'm going to roll it back up,
put them in my vinegar solution.
282
00:13:18,840 --> 00:13:21,615
Once they're cooked, I'm going to
finish it off in beef dripping.
283
00:13:23,720 --> 00:13:28,815
He mixes egg yolks and mustard
for his Peruvian aji verde sauce.
284
00:13:29,840 --> 00:13:32,175
I've got many nostalgic memories
of Paddington.
285
00:13:32,200 --> 00:13:33,575
My mum reading the books to me
286
00:13:33,600 --> 00:13:35,975
and, as I got older,
watching the TV program me.
287
00:13:36,000 --> 00:13:37,935
Roald Dahl is just so iconic
all around the world.
288
00:13:37,960 --> 00:13:40,735
Even in the Philippines, you know,
it's something I grew up with a lot.
289
00:13:40,760 --> 00:13:42,135
I love Roald Dahl, too.
290
00:13:42,160 --> 00:13:44,735
There's a lot of food elements
in Fantastic Mr Fox.
291
00:13:44,760 --> 00:13:46,895
That's what I love about it.
Yeah. True, true.
292
00:13:49,160 --> 00:13:50,615
To help answer the question
293
00:13:50,640 --> 00:13:53,775
at the heart of his dish
What's A Squab?...
294
00:13:53,800 --> 00:13:56,335
Hey, Charlie. Hey, Avi, how's it
going? Yeah, good, thank you.
295
00:13:56,360 --> 00:14:01,335
...Avi visited his favourite butcher
local to his restaurant in London.
296
00:14:01,360 --> 00:14:04,455
It's a different type of breed
to our domestic pigeon.
297
00:14:04,480 --> 00:14:06,855
It's from northern France,
from the Anjou region. Yeah.
298
00:14:06,880 --> 00:14:08,255
Slightly fattier.
299
00:14:08,280 --> 00:14:09,655
It's less gamey
300
00:14:09,680 --> 00:14:12,375
and more soft and tender,
but definitely delicious. Yeah.
301
00:14:12,400 --> 00:14:14,255
I absolutely love the meat.
302
00:14:14,280 --> 00:14:17,175
This particular dish, I'm going to
use some Marsala and some chestnuts,
303
00:14:17,200 --> 00:14:18,615
all the flavours of the autumn.
304
00:14:18,640 --> 00:14:20,455
So, these come from
a small supplier.
305
00:14:20,480 --> 00:14:22,415
They have plenty of space
to roam around.
306
00:14:22,440 --> 00:14:25,175
They've got very natural feed
and just cared for really well.
307
00:14:25,200 --> 00:14:27,175
Very tasty. Yeah.
308
00:14:27,200 --> 00:14:28,695
Brilliant. Thank you very much.
309
00:14:28,720 --> 00:14:31,015
No worries, mate.
See you soon. See you.
310
00:14:31,040 --> 00:14:33,855
The quality of these pigeons are
amazing. They're full of flavour.
311
00:14:33,880 --> 00:14:36,295
And along with all the other
ingredients that I'm using,
312
00:14:36,320 --> 00:14:37,855
I think it's going to be
a great dish.
313
00:14:41,160 --> 00:14:45,015
Back in the kitchen, Avi, the
most relaxed of the three chefs,
314
00:14:45,040 --> 00:14:46,735
is cracking on with his sauce.
315
00:14:48,040 --> 00:14:49,975
Putting some of this in the Marsala
as well
316
00:14:50,000 --> 00:14:53,095
just to get a bit of flavour
from the pancetta, the smokiness.
317
00:14:54,640 --> 00:14:59,055
Avi pan-fries boiled chestnuts
with a splash more Marsala wine.
318
00:15:01,920 --> 00:15:04,175
Avi, how's it going?
Yeah, really good.
319
00:15:04,200 --> 00:15:07,415
This is your pigeon sauce with
Marsala wine? That's right, yeah.
320
00:15:07,440 --> 00:15:10,575
I've got a pigeon stock in there,
and it's quite intense.
321
00:15:10,600 --> 00:15:12,855
Ancl then your chestnuts,
they're all ready as well?
322
00:15:12,880 --> 00:15:14,535
Yeah. I'm just going to
keep cooking it
323
00:15:14,560 --> 00:15:17,215
so it feels almost like
a caramelised chestnut
324
00:15:17,240 --> 00:15:21,015
and I get that flavour of Marsala
just on the outside.
325
00:15:21,040 --> 00:15:22,375
Very, very different.
326
00:15:22,400 --> 00:15:23,735
Very different indeed.
327
00:15:25,200 --> 00:15:29,135
All is calm and under control
in Avi's section.
328
00:15:29,160 --> 00:15:30,895
I'm going to shoot myself.
329
00:15:30,920 --> 00:15:33,175
But the same can't be said
for Budgie.
330
00:15:33,200 --> 00:15:35,655
The choux bun demons
have struck again.
331
00:15:36,680 --> 00:15:37,895
I'm not using these.
332
00:15:37,920 --> 00:15:39,975
I made them
a little too wet, too many eggs,
333
00:15:40,000 --> 00:15:41,895
so I'm going to start again.
334
00:15:41,920 --> 00:15:45,335
With yet another batch of
choux dough going into the oven,
335
00:15:45,360 --> 00:15:48,775
Budgie can only hope
that three time's a charm.
336
00:15:48,800 --> 00:15:50,135
While he waits anxiously,
337
00:15:50,160 --> 00:15:52,615
the chicken ballotine
comes out of the steamer.
338
00:15:52,640 --> 00:15:54,175
Going to the blast chiller.
339
00:15:57,360 --> 00:15:59,415
First to the pass is Robbie.
340
00:15:59,440 --> 00:16:02,015
His sirloin
now out of the water bath,
341
00:16:02,040 --> 00:16:05,855
he's torching it on the grill,
hoping for a caramelised finish.
342
00:16:07,000 --> 00:16:08,655
For the short-rib sandwich,
343
00:16:08,680 --> 00:16:11,375
he flattens white bread
and tops with marmalade
344
00:16:11,400 --> 00:16:13,655
before filling with
the chilled short-rib.
345
00:16:18,800 --> 00:16:22,415
You've got two minutes to the pass,
Robbie. Hey.
346
00:16:22,440 --> 00:16:25,735
He pan-fries the sandwich fingers
to make them golden brown,
347
00:16:25,760 --> 00:16:27,935
but all is not well.
348
00:16:27,960 --> 00:16:28,975
Is that on?
349
00:16:30,280 --> 00:16:32,055
Not getting hot? No.
350
00:16:32,080 --> 00:16:33,615
It's still flashing.
351
00:16:33,640 --> 00:16:35,015
That means it's not on.
352
00:16:36,760 --> 00:16:37,775
Sure.
353
00:16:39,280 --> 00:16:41,975
Just get that other pan hot
and put them in the other pan.
354
00:16:45,320 --> 00:16:46,935
GENTLE SIZZLING
355
00:16:53,520 --> 00:16:54,975
Are you happy with the sandwiches?
356
00:16:55,000 --> 00:16:58,295
I was happy with them until
they went into that pan. Yeah.
357
00:16:58,320 --> 00:16:59,975
I think it sat so long
in that tepid pan
358
00:17:00,000 --> 00:17:02,895
that the whole thing's fallen apart.
359
00:17:02,920 --> 00:17:05,575
Robbie, you're...you're clue at the
pass now. Right.
360
00:17:07,080 --> 00:17:09,975
Despite the sandwiches falling
apart, Robbie holds it together
361
00:17:10,000 --> 00:17:11,415
and plates them
362
00:17:11,440 --> 00:17:15,695
alongside golden beetroot spirals,
amarillo pepper crisps...
363
00:17:16,880 --> 00:17:20,255
This is a little marmalade gel.
Yeah, it looks lovely. Thank you.
364
00:17:20,280 --> 00:17:22,935
...his Peruvian-spiced sirloin...
365
00:17:22,960 --> 00:17:24,335
Are you happy with the sirloin?
366
00:17:24,360 --> 00:17:27,135
Yeah, it's beautiful.
Yeah, it looks perfect, man.
367
00:17:27,160 --> 00:17:31,055
...and a garnish of Peruvian
marigold tops it off.
368
00:17:31,080 --> 00:17:34,735
The quinoa and beetroot croquettes
are served in a mini suitcase
369
00:17:34,760 --> 00:17:39,775
alongside a jar of aji verde sauce,
and hidden under Paddington's hat.
370
00:17:41,600 --> 00:17:44,215
Well clone, Robbie, you got there.
Yeah. Made it, made it, made it.
371
00:17:44,240 --> 00:17:46,255
Pop that on your head, ah!
372
00:17:46,280 --> 00:17:48,455
You like that?
Don't tend to fit very well.
373
00:17:48,480 --> 00:17:50,295
OK, so this dish is called
Darkest Peru.
374
00:17:50,320 --> 00:17:53,455
It's inspired by Paddington Bear
and where he originally came from
375
00:17:53,480 --> 00:17:54,855
before he came to London.
376
00:17:54,880 --> 00:17:57,535
OK. Looks beautiful.
Definitely on brief.
377
00:17:57,560 --> 00:17:58,935
Right, let's go.
378
00:18:08,360 --> 00:18:10,095
Is that what you wanted
from the beef?
379
00:18:10,120 --> 00:18:11,655
Is it cooked how you wanted it?
380
00:18:11,680 --> 00:18:13,735
The flavour's there,
texture's not quite right.
381
00:18:13,760 --> 00:18:15,215
It could be a little bit softer.
382
00:18:15,240 --> 00:18:18,215
What about the caramelisation
on the outside? It's coming through.
383
00:18:18,240 --> 00:18:20,855
I think the spices have
caramelised enough on the barbecue.
384
00:18:20,880 --> 00:18:24,015
I think the fragrance of
Peruvian cuisine is there.
385
00:18:29,040 --> 00:18:31,935
I think the beef is perfectly
cooked, nicely seasoned as well.
386
00:18:31,960 --> 00:18:35,295
Ancl there is really good flavour
on the crust on the outside.
387
00:18:35,320 --> 00:18:37,055
These marmalade and
short-rib sandwiches,
388
00:18:37,080 --> 00:18:39,215
they were causing you
a bit grief at the end there.
389
00:18:39,240 --> 00:18:41,415
If I would've been able
to get the pan hotter,
390
00:18:41,440 --> 00:18:43,935
I think it would've held its
shape better.
391
00:18:43,960 --> 00:18:46,695
It's kind of a little bit soggy
there, the bread. The bread? Yeah.
392
00:18:46,720 --> 00:18:48,095
What about the short-rib itself?
393
00:18:48,120 --> 00:18:50,975
I think the short-rib is
really delicious.
394
00:18:51,000 --> 00:18:52,935
Ancl the marmalade flavour?
395
00:18:52,960 --> 00:18:55,615
I think it's good in the sandwich.
I don't think it's overpowering.
396
00:18:56,800 --> 00:19:00,015
It got a bit lost to me.
I didn't really notice it.
397
00:19:00,040 --> 00:19:01,615
The gel was a little bit sweet.
398
00:19:01,640 --> 00:19:04,335
I was expecting a little bit
of bitterness from the marmalade.
399
00:19:04,360 --> 00:19:07,015
So, this is quinoa and beetroot...
Yep. ..croquettes.
400
00:19:07,040 --> 00:19:09,335
Are you happy with
how they've come out?
401
00:19:09,360 --> 00:19:12,175
Yeah, nice and crispy.
Beetroot's coming through.
402
00:19:12,200 --> 00:19:14,695
I personally find the croquette
slightly dry.
403
00:19:14,720 --> 00:19:17,375
I think he was thinking that
this aji verde ties it together,
404
00:19:17,400 --> 00:19:18,935
but it doesn't really do that.
405
00:19:19,920 --> 00:19:22,415
So, if you were going to score
this dish, then... Yeah.
406
00:19:22,440 --> 00:19:23,895
...what would you score? Uh...
407
00:19:25,800 --> 00:19:29,015
Seven-and-a-half.
Seven-and-a-half? Mm.
408
00:19:29,040 --> 00:19:31,575
I'm going to score this a seven.
409
00:19:31,600 --> 00:19:32,855
It definitely needs a sauce.
410
00:19:32,880 --> 00:19:34,255
I think I'd give him a seven, too.
411
00:19:34,280 --> 00:19:36,015
The croquette, for me,
was a little bit dry.
412
00:19:41,920 --> 00:19:43,735
How was that, mate?
Yeah, it was tough. Yeah?
413
00:19:43,760 --> 00:19:47,535
A bit annoyed about the sandwich,
but what can you do? Yeah.
414
00:19:49,400 --> 00:19:51,975
Next to present his main is Budgie,
415
00:19:52,000 --> 00:19:56,175
and it's a moment of truth
for his choux buns mark Ill.
416
00:19:56,200 --> 00:19:58,375
Consistency's much better now.
417
00:19:58,400 --> 00:20:01,295
Happy at last, Budgie halves them
and pipes on
418
00:20:01,320 --> 00:20:03,895
the duck liver parfait
and cider gel.
419
00:20:09,920 --> 00:20:11,175
Two minutes.
420
00:20:11,200 --> 00:20:12,335
See you in six, Chef!
421
00:20:12,360 --> 00:20:14,455
You need six? Five...six.
422
00:20:14,480 --> 00:20:16,295
Budgie, don't panic.
423
00:20:16,320 --> 00:20:18,215
With the chicken ballotine
now chilled,
424
00:20:18,240 --> 00:20:22,655
Budgie puts it into the deep-fat
fryer to crisp up the skin.
425
00:20:22,680 --> 00:20:24,655
Due on the pass now, Budgie.
426
00:20:24,680 --> 00:20:26,975
Is that oven on?
This one's on 200.
427
00:20:27,000 --> 00:20:31,135
...before placing it into the oven
to warm through the middle.
428
00:20:31,160 --> 00:20:33,055
So, you're one minute over now,
Budgie. Yeah.
429
00:20:33,080 --> 00:20:35,175
So, get it out there, kiddo.
430
00:20:36,480 --> 00:20:39,655
His glazed carrots are garnished
with heritage carrot tops.
431
00:20:43,720 --> 00:20:46,375
You're happy with it?
Uh...it's just cold.
432
00:20:47,960 --> 00:20:49,695
Do you want it back in?
Cheers, bro.
433
00:20:50,720 --> 00:20:53,175
Oh, stress! It's stressful! Yes!
434
00:20:54,400 --> 00:20:57,015
So, it's three minutes over now,
Budgie. Yeah.
435
00:20:57,040 --> 00:20:59,255
While he waits for the chicken
to warm through,
436
00:20:59,280 --> 00:21:02,055
Budgie adds banana ketchup
to the carrots.
437
00:21:02,080 --> 00:21:05,055
You're doing well, Budgie.
Keep going. Thank you.
438
00:21:05,080 --> 00:21:06,655
Yeah, please. It does help.
439
00:21:10,240 --> 00:21:11,895
Four minutes over, Budgie. Yes.
440
00:21:15,400 --> 00:21:18,695
No, it's still cold, Chef.
I'm going to need another...
441
00:21:18,720 --> 00:21:20,295
...two minutes in the oven.
442
00:21:20,320 --> 00:21:23,375
That's going to put you, like,
seven minutes over. Yes, Chef.
443
00:21:24,600 --> 00:21:27,695
If the chicken ballotine
isn't ready to be served soon,
444
00:21:27,720 --> 00:21:29,095
it will cost Budgie points
445
00:21:29,120 --> 00:21:32,575
and jeopardise his place
in the competition.
446
00:21:32,600 --> 00:21:34,375
Right, let's go, Robbie. Do
you want it, yeah?
447
00:21:34,400 --> 00:21:35,415
Yeah, let's do it.
448
00:21:38,400 --> 00:21:39,735
Check you're happy.
449
00:21:45,480 --> 00:21:47,095
It's warm.
450
00:21:47,120 --> 00:21:49,455
Finally the chicken ballotine
is plated,
451
00:21:49,480 --> 00:21:50,975
topped with apple ciderjus...
452
00:21:52,760 --> 00:21:54,055
In the cloche.
453
00:21:54,080 --> 00:21:58,015
...and is served under a smoke-filled
Fantastic Mr Fox-themed cloche
454
00:21:58,040 --> 00:21:59,975
with a glass of cider.
455
00:22:01,560 --> 00:22:03,615
Shall I pour some ciders? Yes.
456
00:22:03,640 --> 00:22:06,615
I think pour a big one for you.
Yeah. OK.
457
00:22:06,640 --> 00:22:08,655
So, the name and inspiration?
458
00:22:08,680 --> 00:22:11,055
A Meal Fit For Fantastic Foxes,
459
00:22:11,080 --> 00:22:13,535
inspired by Fantastic Mr Fox
by Roald Dahl,
460
00:22:13,560 --> 00:22:15,375
illustrated by Quentin Blake.
461
00:22:15,400 --> 00:22:16,895
Presentation looks amazing.
462
00:22:16,920 --> 00:22:18,495
It looks lovely.
Can't wait to tuck in.
463
00:22:18,520 --> 00:22:21,055
Shall I carry the cider? Yeah.
Yeah, there you go.
464
00:22:21,080 --> 00:22:23,335
Good luck, Chef. Thank you.
465
00:22:23,360 --> 00:22:25,815
Ah, the horrors of
the Great British Menu clock, eh?
466
00:22:35,520 --> 00:22:39,215
All right. Cheers, gentlemen.
Cheers indeed. Cheers. Cheers.
467
00:22:39,240 --> 00:22:40,255
Yum.
468
00:22:42,240 --> 00:22:45,815
So, the chicken...are you happy
with how that's come out now?
469
00:22:45,840 --> 00:22:47,895
No, I would've liked
the skin to be crispier.
470
00:22:51,800 --> 00:22:53,815
There's a lot of skin
that's a bit fatty.
471
00:22:53,840 --> 00:22:56,495
Yeah, it's a little bit flabby.
472
00:22:56,520 --> 00:22:57,895
The banana ketchup?
473
00:22:57,920 --> 00:22:59,135
Really like the sweetness,
474
00:22:59,160 --> 00:23:02,055
it brings something different
to the plate.
475
00:23:02,080 --> 00:23:03,775
It tastes amazing,
the banana ketchup.
476
00:23:03,800 --> 00:23:04,855
It's really nice.
477
00:23:04,880 --> 00:23:07,055
I've had banana ketchup before.
That's a really good one.
478
00:23:07,080 --> 00:23:08,975
Delicious, yeah. It's really nice.
479
00:23:09,000 --> 00:23:10,055
The choux pastry,
480
00:23:10,080 --> 00:23:11,975
are you happy with how it came out
the second time?
481
00:23:12,000 --> 00:23:14,975
It was a little darker than I'd like
it, but it's nice and crisp.
482
00:23:15,000 --> 00:23:18,055
The parfait itself? Parfait could've
been set a little bit longer.
483
00:23:18,080 --> 00:23:20,735
It could be a little bit sweeter
as well.
484
00:23:20,760 --> 00:23:23,295
The parfait, I think,
doesn't have enough seasoning to it,
485
00:23:23,320 --> 00:23:25,735
but also the gel is quite bland.
486
00:23:25,760 --> 00:23:27,895
I think it's good.
It's got a nice, crispy texture.
487
00:23:27,920 --> 00:23:29,975
It's light and airy on the inside.
488
00:23:30,000 --> 00:23:31,935
So, what would you score yourself?
489
00:23:31,960 --> 00:23:36,535
A few errors on my part, so
I'd probably give myself a six. OK.
490
00:23:36,560 --> 00:23:38,655
I think I'd give Budgie a six.
491
00:23:38,680 --> 00:23:40,255
The parfait wasn't seasoned enough,
492
00:23:40,280 --> 00:23:42,975
and there was a few elements
that didn't go together.
493
00:23:43,000 --> 00:23:46,175
Yeah, I agree. It's a six, it's
just a bit confused for me. Yeah.
494
00:23:46,200 --> 00:23:48,255
Cider's good, though.
The cider's great.
495
00:23:53,000 --> 00:23:55,255
Spice meister! How are you?
Got it out, mate, yeah.
496
00:23:55,280 --> 00:23:57,695
A few schoolboy errors, but, yeah...
497
00:23:57,720 --> 00:24:00,895
I felt like I could
feel his disappointment.
498
00:24:00,920 --> 00:24:05,775
Last to the pass is Avi, currently
leading by just one point.
499
00:24:05,800 --> 00:24:07,535
He scored highly with his starter,
500
00:24:07,560 --> 00:24:11,615
but struggled to maintain the high
standard with his fish course.
501
00:24:11,640 --> 00:24:16,935
Will his pared-back squab main
be enough to keep him out in front?
502
00:24:20,160 --> 00:24:22,015
So, Avi, you've got three minutes.
503
00:24:22,040 --> 00:24:23,775
OK, fine.
504
00:24:23,800 --> 00:24:25,415
Happy with the cook on that squab?
505
00:24:25,440 --> 00:24:26,935
Yeah, very happy with it.
506
00:24:26,960 --> 00:24:28,375
I think it's nice and pink.
507
00:24:28,400 --> 00:24:30,015
What do you need, bud?
508
00:24:30,040 --> 00:24:31,895
Could you pour the sauce
into the jugs, please?
509
00:24:31,920 --> 00:24:32,935
Yeah.
510
00:24:34,640 --> 00:24:38,015
OK, Avi, you've got two minutes.
Yup.
511
00:24:38,040 --> 00:24:42,375
Squab are plated,
followed by pan-fried chestnuts.
512
00:24:42,400 --> 00:24:43,655
What's that
you're putting on?
513
00:24:43,680 --> 00:24:44,815
Putting some pumpkin on.
514
00:24:44,840 --> 00:24:48,175
Just roasted it with thyme
and garlic. Looks amazing.
515
00:24:48,200 --> 00:24:50,815
Girolles are added next...
516
00:24:50,840 --> 00:24:52,935
The colours look great, mate.
Very autumnal.
517
00:24:52,960 --> 00:24:55,255
...followed by crispy pancetta.
518
00:24:55,280 --> 00:24:56,695
Some crispy sage.
519
00:24:56,720 --> 00:25:00,175
A sweet addition of pre-made
quince cheese is plated.
520
00:25:02,320 --> 00:25:03,975
Put some olive oil on top.
521
00:25:07,040 --> 00:25:12,415
It's served to Fantastic Mr Fox -
my crush - inspired music.
522
00:25:14,520 --> 00:25:15,935
See? Sexy.
523
00:25:15,960 --> 00:25:17,175
Yeah.
524
00:25:17,200 --> 00:25:18,495
That is a sexy fox.
525
00:25:18,520 --> 00:25:19,975
Sexy fox!
526
00:25:20,000 --> 00:25:22,415
The dish is called What's A Squab?
527
00:25:22,440 --> 00:25:26,935
Inspired by Fantastic Mr Fox,
the animated movie by Wes Anderson.
528
00:25:26,960 --> 00:25:28,535
Let's go taste it.
529
00:25:39,000 --> 00:25:41,335
So, are you happy with the cook
of the squab?
530
00:25:41,360 --> 00:25:44,695
I'm really happy with it.
just cooked, and it's well-rested.
531
00:25:49,680 --> 00:25:51,095
Perfectly cooked for my liking.
532
00:25:51,120 --> 00:25:52,775
Could be
a little bit crispier for me,
533
00:25:52,800 --> 00:25:55,615
but, yes, it's a good bit
of cookery, that.
534
00:25:55,640 --> 00:25:58,495
You made a jus with the squab
pigeons and Marsala wine.
535
00:25:58,520 --> 00:26:00,615
I'm really happy with thatjus.
Quite rich.
536
00:26:00,640 --> 00:26:03,015
I can still taste the Marsala
in there.
537
00:26:03,040 --> 00:26:05,855
That sauce. Yeah,
it's lip-smackingly good.
538
00:26:05,880 --> 00:26:10,175
Unctuous, silky, shiny,
really good savouriness. Yeah.
539
00:26:11,480 --> 00:26:13,215
The second time you've used
pumpkin this week.
540
00:26:13,240 --> 00:26:14,375
Yeah, I love pumpkin.
541
00:26:14,400 --> 00:26:18,455
It's adding that whole starch
element, but also the sweetness.
542
00:26:18,480 --> 00:26:21,495
I mean, it's cooked really well.
Pumpkin is really sweet.
543
00:26:21,520 --> 00:26:23,615
I think a dish like that
needs sweetness.
544
00:26:23,640 --> 00:26:25,055
Cos it's so rich.
545
00:26:25,080 --> 00:26:27,055
Do you think this
is quite a safe dish?
546
00:26:27,080 --> 00:26:29,375
It is a safe dish, but it's also
a very comforting dish.
547
00:26:29,400 --> 00:26:32,015
I think it's quite special
in itself, although it's so simple.
548
00:26:32,040 --> 00:26:34,175
It's missing something,
whether it's acidity
549
00:26:34,200 --> 00:26:36,255
or a little bit more texture.
550
00:26:37,280 --> 00:26:38,775
What would you score this dish?
551
00:26:38,800 --> 00:26:42,255
I'm really confident about my food,
so I would score myself an eight.
552
00:26:42,280 --> 00:26:43,295
OK.
553
00:26:43,320 --> 00:26:44,695
Yeah, I'd give it a nine
554
00:26:44,720 --> 00:26:47,495
only because I think it needs
a bit of acidity.
555
00:26:47,520 --> 00:26:49,695
It's an eight from me.
I think it's a bit rich.
556
00:26:55,280 --> 00:26:57,055
HEY, guys. All right, mate?
557
00:26:57,080 --> 00:26:58,855
Mr Cool, Calm And Collected.
558
00:26:58,880 --> 00:27:00,415
Well, that's only on the outside.
559
00:27:00,440 --> 00:27:02,255
I think your dish was fantastic,
mate.
560
00:27:02,280 --> 00:27:05,855
Yeah. Great bit of cookery, that.
Pigeon was perfect. Thank you.
561
00:27:05,880 --> 00:27:09,455
Quite a chequered main course,
I would say.
562
00:27:09,480 --> 00:27:10,935
The pressure got to the chefs.
563
00:27:10,960 --> 00:27:13,455
It really, really did, didn't it?
All three chefs,
564
00:27:13,480 --> 00:27:15,975
there was technical problems
with their dishes. Yeah.
565
00:27:16,000 --> 00:27:18,935
So, that's the savoury done, guys.
Are you looking forward to desserts?
566
00:27:18,960 --> 00:27:21,055
Yeah. I've clone a bit of pastry
in my time.
567
00:27:21,080 --> 00:27:24,455
I can't say my pastry is my best
of skills, but I know enough.
568
00:27:24,480 --> 00:27:26,975
I don't mind going on the pastry
section every now and then.
569
00:27:27,000 --> 00:27:29,335
I find it quite therapeutic.
Great for this kitchen!
570
00:27:29,360 --> 00:27:31,895
Right, let's go check out
what our scores are for the mains.
571
00:27:31,920 --> 00:27:33,295
Yeah, let's do that.
572
00:27:34,760 --> 00:27:39,215
As the scores stand, Avi
is in the lead with 14 points,
573
00:27:39,240 --> 00:27:44,415
and Robbie and Budgie are just
one point behind with 13.
574
00:27:44,440 --> 00:27:46,135
Hello, Chefs. Hello.
Hello. Hey.
575
00:27:46,160 --> 00:27:48,495
Well, there's no escaping that
576
00:27:48,520 --> 00:27:51,455
that was quite a difficult
course.
577
00:27:51,480 --> 00:27:52,735
Robbie. Yep.
578
00:27:52,760 --> 00:27:55,495
For your dish, Darkest Peru,
579
00:27:55,520 --> 00:27:57,335
I thought the presentation was fun.
580
00:27:57,360 --> 00:28:00,695
I could see everybody with their
Paddington hats at the banquet.
581
00:28:00,720 --> 00:28:03,615
Golden beetroot cooked in beef fat,
I thought was delicious.
582
00:28:03,640 --> 00:28:06,175
The croquette was nice and crispy,
and I thought the quinoa
583
00:28:06,200 --> 00:28:08,415
had a nice nutty flavour.
584
00:28:08,440 --> 00:28:10,695
The short-rib sandwich, though,
fell apart,
585
00:28:10,720 --> 00:28:13,255
and the marmalade you put
in there just wasn't enough,
586
00:28:13,280 --> 00:28:16,215
because that was your big link
to the brief.
587
00:28:16,240 --> 00:28:19,015
My biggest issue, though,
was the cooking of the beef sirloin.
588
00:28:19,040 --> 00:28:20,775
The texture was just a bit flabby.
589
00:28:20,800 --> 00:28:23,335
I think you should just cook it
all the way on the barbecue
590
00:28:23,360 --> 00:28:26,415
and get that lovely, smoky,
barky outside, you know,
591
00:28:26,440 --> 00:28:28,055
that people really enjoy to eat.
592
00:28:28,080 --> 00:28:29,415
Mm-hm. Cool.
593
00:28:29,440 --> 00:28:30,815
Budgie.
594
00:28:30,840 --> 00:28:35,295
For your dish,
A Meal Fit For Fantastic Foxes.
595
00:28:35,320 --> 00:28:38,455
The link to the brief was subtle,
but I think it was really clever,
596
00:28:38,480 --> 00:28:41,495
using all the elements
that the farmers eat.
597
00:28:41,520 --> 00:28:44,495
The chicken meat and the sausage
filling was cooked nicely
598
00:28:44,520 --> 00:28:46,095
and really quite flavourful.
599
00:28:46,120 --> 00:28:48,535
But as you said yourself, the skin
could've been crispier.
600
00:28:48,560 --> 00:28:50,855
I think that's because it waited
quite a while
601
00:28:50,880 --> 00:28:52,655
it got back up
to temperature.
602
00:28:52,680 --> 00:28:54,335
I really enjoyed the banana ketchup.
603
00:28:54,360 --> 00:28:57,055
That was again another first
you've given me.
604
00:28:57,080 --> 00:28:59,095
I'd like more of it on the plate.
605
00:28:59,120 --> 00:29:01,975
You had problems with your choux
pastry and you made it again,
606
00:29:02,000 --> 00:29:04,295
but I still don't think
it was wholly successful.
607
00:29:05,320 --> 00:29:07,335
Your duck-liver parfait
lacked seasoning,
608
00:29:07,360 --> 00:29:10,095
and the side of gel I didn't think
had much flavour at all.
609
00:29:12,120 --> 00:29:14,815
PM, for your (fish,
What's A Squab?
610
00:29:16,320 --> 00:29:18,095
I thought the presentation
was great.
611
00:29:18,120 --> 00:29:19,455
You really hit the brief.
612
00:29:20,760 --> 00:29:23,615
The sauce was a masterclass
in sauce-making.
613
00:29:23,640 --> 00:29:26,975
Lots of depth of flavour.
Truly delicious.
614
00:29:27,000 --> 00:29:28,615
The pumpkin was beautifully roasted.
615
00:29:28,640 --> 00:29:30,695
The crispy sage and pancetta
616
00:29:30,720 --> 00:29:33,255
provided crunch and seasoning
to the dish.
617
00:29:33,280 --> 00:29:36,615
The pigeon breast was cooked well,
but I think the skin on the bird
618
00:29:36,640 --> 00:29:38,775
needed more rendering
just to make it crispier
619
00:29:38,800 --> 00:29:40,575
and a bit more pleasant to eat.
620
00:29:41,720 --> 00:29:43,975
And so to the scores.
621
00:29:44,000 --> 00:29:45,375
Robbie.
622
00:29:46,480 --> 00:29:48,495
I'm giving you a score of...
623
00:29:50,160 --> 00:29:51,735
...six.
624
00:29:51,760 --> 00:29:53,975
Robbie, this dish has got
a lot of potential,
625
00:29:54,000 --> 00:29:56,135
so if you do get to cook it again,
626
00:29:56,160 --> 00:29:59,575
I would take every bit
of Tommy's advice.
627
00:29:59,600 --> 00:30:00,615
Budgie.
628
00:30:02,000 --> 00:30:03,655
I'm giving you a score of...
629
00:30:06,240 --> 00:30:07,495
...four.
630
00:30:07,520 --> 00:30:09,935
Budgie, I know that's not what
you wanted to put on the plate.
631
00:30:09,960 --> 00:30:11,855
This is one of those moments
in the competition
632
00:30:11,880 --> 00:30:13,655
where you just have to draw a line
under it
633
00:30:13,680 --> 00:30:16,055
and move on to the next part.
634
00:30:16,080 --> 00:30:17,095
Avi.
635
00:30:18,920 --> 00:30:19,935
|'m giving you...
636
00:30:21,800 --> 00:30:23,615
...a score of eight. Thank you.
637
00:30:23,640 --> 00:30:26,575
This was accomplished,
confident cooking,
638
00:30:26,600 --> 00:30:29,055
and that sauce! Very good.
Beautiful.
639
00:30:30,360 --> 00:30:33,575
Next up, it's the sweet
part of the menu.
640
00:30:33,600 --> 00:30:36,255
I love a dessert, so I'm really
looking forward to this.
641
00:30:36,280 --> 00:30:39,495
Good luck, Chefs.
Good luck, Chefs. Cheers.
642
00:30:39,520 --> 00:30:41,615
Well clone, mate. Thank you.
Well clone. Good job.
643
00:30:41,640 --> 00:30:43,855
Well clone, bud. Thank you.
All right? Yeah, yeah.
644
00:30:43,880 --> 00:30:46,095
I mean, I was expecting that.
645
00:30:46,120 --> 00:30:47,615
I was expecting that.
646
00:30:52,080 --> 00:30:53,375
Feel a little gutted.
647
00:30:53,400 --> 00:30:56,215
The score was obviously not ideal.
648
00:30:56,240 --> 00:30:58,575
But we're going to approach
the sweet part of the menu
649
00:30:58,600 --> 00:31:01,815
a little bit more organised
and a lot more fire in the belly.
650
00:31:02,840 --> 00:31:05,575
I'm disappointed with the six,
but I feel good about my dessert.
651
00:31:05,600 --> 00:31:08,015
Avi is out in front,
but I don't think he's too far
652
00:31:08,040 --> 00:31:09,775
that I can't catch him.
653
00:31:09,800 --> 00:31:12,975
I'm really pleased with the score.
I'm in the lead again now,
654
00:31:13,000 --> 00:31:15,015
but I don't want to take my foot
off the pedal.
655
00:31:15,040 --> 00:31:16,455
I just want to keep going.
656
00:31:19,960 --> 00:31:22,695
Dessert should be fun. You can
really tell a story on the plate.
657
00:31:22,720 --> 00:31:25,055
Ancl I think the chefs got
to really embrace the brief
658
00:31:25,080 --> 00:31:27,495
because this needs to be
a fantastic end to the banquet.
659
00:31:28,640 --> 00:31:32,895
Pre-desserts are not scored,
but will be tasted blind by Tommy.
660
00:31:32,920 --> 00:31:37,775
In the event of a tie-break,
they could be the deciding factor.
661
00:31:37,800 --> 00:31:39,495
I didn't come here
just to participate.
662
00:31:39,520 --> 00:31:40,815
I want to get
in front of the judges,
663
00:31:40,840 --> 00:31:42,255
and I want to get a dish
at the banquet.
664
00:31:47,440 --> 00:31:51,255
Robbie is making a frozen fennel
meringue for his pre-dessert,
665
00:31:51,280 --> 00:31:54,935
which takes inspiration
from children's animated series
666
00:31:54,960 --> 00:31:57,375
Fifi And The Flowertots.
667
00:31:57,400 --> 00:31:59,735
So talk to me
about your pre-dessert, sir.
668
00:31:59,760 --> 00:32:00,855
So, Fifi and her mates
669
00:32:00,880 --> 00:32:03,015
are named after vegetables
and different flowers,
670
00:32:03,040 --> 00:32:05,455
so I've tried to incorporate
some of those into the dish.
671
00:32:05,480 --> 00:32:07,295
So there's a character in there
called Poppy,
672
00:32:07,320 --> 00:32:09,695
so I'm making a poppyseed tuile,
673
00:32:09,720 --> 00:32:12,855
and it's in the shape of a flower
to represent Fifi.
674
00:32:12,880 --> 00:32:14,975
There's also a character
called Gooseberry,
675
00:32:15,000 --> 00:32:16,775
so I've got some salted
gooseberries here,
676
00:32:16,800 --> 00:32:19,695
and I'm going to put a gooseberry
curd in the bottom of my bowl.
677
00:32:19,720 --> 00:32:21,655
Ooh! I love a gooseberry.
678
00:32:21,680 --> 00:32:24,695
Bit of salt on them, just to...
Mmm! ..emphasise the flavour. Oh!
679
00:32:24,720 --> 00:32:27,015
That's gorgeous,
that's really gorgeous.
680
00:32:27,040 --> 00:32:29,855
The main part of it
is a frozen fennel meringue
681
00:32:29,880 --> 00:32:33,215
whipped up with egg whites
and fennel...
682
00:32:33,240 --> 00:32:35,255
So it should be chewy, slightly,
on the inside.
683
00:32:35,280 --> 00:32:37,815
It should melt away in your mouth
and give you a burst of fennel.
684
00:32:37,840 --> 00:32:40,135
Oh, it sounds lovely. Good luck.
Cheers.
685
00:32:41,440 --> 00:32:44,855
Leading by three points,
Avi is going back to his roots
686
00:32:44,880 --> 00:32:48,175
with a brightly coloured
Indian shaved-ice treat.
687
00:32:50,200 --> 00:32:52,295
My pre-dessert is called
Colourful Snowman,
688
00:32:52,320 --> 00:32:54,855
inspired by the animated movie
The Snowman.
689
00:32:54,880 --> 00:32:57,855
It's the scene where the snowmen
are having a little disco.
690
00:32:57,880 --> 00:33:00,015
The lights are flashing,
it's very colourful.
691
00:33:00,040 --> 00:33:03,255
So I'm trying to recreate that
with shaved ice... Yeah.
692
00:33:03,280 --> 00:33:06,735
...and I'm going to splash
some passion-fruit chervil
693
00:33:06,760 --> 00:33:10,055
and pomegranate syrup on it.
Oh, nice combination.
694
00:33:10,080 --> 00:33:13,055
I can't wait to see how this
turns out for you. Great.
695
00:33:13,080 --> 00:33:16,215
Currently trailing by two points
in last place,
696
00:33:16,240 --> 00:33:18,935
Budgie needs to whip up
some delectable desserts
697
00:33:18,960 --> 00:33:23,015
to stand a chance of
getting through to the judges.
698
00:33:23,040 --> 00:33:26,655
I'm doing a dish called
Carrots Can Be Cool.
699
00:33:26,680 --> 00:33:30,135
Inspired by Horrid Henry
and the Ice Cream Dream.
700
00:33:30,160 --> 00:33:31,855
Oh, I love Horrid Henry.
701
00:33:31,880 --> 00:33:34,975
Yeah. So I'm going to do little
orange feuille de brick cones
702
00:33:35,000 --> 00:33:37,575
with a carrot
and calamansi sorbet.
703
00:33:37,600 --> 00:33:39,895
Nice. Calamansi's like
Filipino lime. Yeah.
704
00:33:39,920 --> 00:33:41,695
All right, my darling.
Thank you so much.
705
00:33:41,720 --> 00:33:43,775
I wish you lots of luck.
Thank you, Andi. Thanks.
706
00:33:49,080 --> 00:33:51,615
Everybody on time? Yep. Yep.
707
00:33:51,640 --> 00:33:54,335
With just the final flourishes
remaining,
708
00:33:54,360 --> 00:33:58,895
Robbie adds colour to his
pre-dessert with edible flowers,
709
00:33:58,920 --> 00:34:03,695
Avi pours a rainbow of sugar syrups
over the shaved ice...
710
00:34:03,720 --> 00:34:05,455
Woo!
711
00:34:05,480 --> 00:34:07,535
Pretty things happening in here.
712
00:34:08,600 --> 00:34:12,695
...and Budgie finishes his carrot
sorbet with candied carrot tops
713
00:34:12,720 --> 00:34:16,815
and positions in purple hands,
a nod to the Purple Hand Gang,
714
00:34:16,840 --> 00:34:18,855
the baddies in Horrid Henry.
715
00:34:20,720 --> 00:34:22,455
Are we going? Ready.
716
00:34:25,600 --> 00:34:27,335
Wowzer.
717
00:34:27,360 --> 00:34:29,095
All right, everybody happy?
Yep. Yep.
718
00:34:29,120 --> 00:34:30,895
Fantastic. Let's go.
719
00:34:35,360 --> 00:34:37,335
Fabulous. Thank you so much.
720
00:34:37,360 --> 00:34:39,495
An array of colours.
Really colourful.
721
00:34:43,720 --> 00:34:45,855
Do I eat it from the hand?
I don't want to.
722
00:34:45,880 --> 00:34:47,455
THEY LAUGH
723
00:34:50,320 --> 00:34:52,335
That's so fresh! Yeah.
Citrus, lovely.
724
00:34:52,360 --> 00:34:55,135
Love the smoothness of
the whole ice cream. Yeah.
725
00:34:55,160 --> 00:34:56,535
CRUNCH
726
00:34:56,560 --> 00:34:59,335
Mmm. That's quite tasty.
I like it.
727
00:34:59,360 --> 00:35:00,775
Nice and crisp feuille de brick
728
00:35:00,800 --> 00:35:02,655
and refreshing sorbet.
729
00:35:02,680 --> 00:35:04,695
Really refreshing.
Couple of bites and it's gone.
730
00:35:09,840 --> 00:35:13,175
So, this one is inspired
by The Snowman, you know...
731
00:35:13,200 --> 00:35:15,415
# Walking in the air
732
00:35:15,440 --> 00:35:17,735
# Da da doo di... #
You know, etc.
733
00:35:17,760 --> 00:35:19,015
Looks like a lot of fun, man.
734
00:35:19,040 --> 00:35:21,295
It's like the sexiest Slush Puppie
I've ever seen. Yeah.
735
00:35:22,320 --> 00:35:24,055
Oh!
736
00:35:24,080 --> 00:35:26,295
Heavens. That chervil's
extraordinary. Yeah.
737
00:35:26,320 --> 00:35:28,095
Oh, yeah.
738
00:35:28,120 --> 00:35:30,455
Yeah, this reminds me of childhood,
really?
739
00:35:30,480 --> 00:35:32,055
There's three different ices.
740
00:35:32,080 --> 00:35:34,015
Every time you get a bit,
it's a bit different.
741
00:35:34,040 --> 00:35:36,575
I quite like that.
Quite sweet, though. Mmm.
742
00:35:41,600 --> 00:35:42,935
Just crack through. Yeah.
743
00:35:45,080 --> 00:35:46,495
It's a really nice flavour.
744
00:35:46,520 --> 00:35:50,335
It's kind of got
lemon meringue pie vibes to it.
745
00:35:50,360 --> 00:35:52,895
It's really refreshing and light.
746
00:35:52,920 --> 00:35:55,095
Lots of acidity
going through there as well.
747
00:35:55,120 --> 00:35:57,015
Good to clear your palate after.
Yeah.
748
00:35:57,040 --> 00:35:59,175
Just this curd's not really set.
749
00:35:59,200 --> 00:36:01,815
No, it's a bit watery.
750
00:36:01,840 --> 00:36:06,135
OK, so I'd like you to rank them
in order of preference.
751
00:36:06,160 --> 00:36:07,735
I think this is my favourite.
752
00:36:10,520 --> 00:36:12,095
This is my second favourite.
753
00:36:13,840 --> 00:36:16,095
Ancl this was my third.
And that was your third.
754
00:36:17,320 --> 00:36:20,655
I think the purple hand was Budgie,
755
00:36:20,680 --> 00:36:22,535
and I think this was Avi.
756
00:36:22,560 --> 00:36:23,815
OK. Ancl that's Robbie.
757
00:36:23,840 --> 00:36:25,935
And you would be...
758
00:36:25,960 --> 00:36:28,655
...completely correct. Yes!
759
00:36:29,840 --> 00:36:31,975
You're right. You're right. Aah!
760
00:36:35,120 --> 00:36:36,815
It's time for the dessert course,
761
00:36:36,840 --> 00:36:40,495
and with scores this tight,
this one is going to the wire.
762
00:36:40,520 --> 00:36:46,255
Avi is on 22, Robbie is on 19
and Budgie is on 17.
763
00:36:49,360 --> 00:36:51,815
OK, guys, last chance
to impress Tommy.
764
00:36:51,840 --> 00:36:54,095
Go for it. Yeah. Let's do it. Good.
765
00:36:55,400 --> 00:36:57,655
Budgie's going for broke
with his dessert -
766
00:36:57,680 --> 00:37:01,015
his last chance
to climb out of last position.
767
00:37:01,040 --> 00:37:05,735
He's making a Knickerbocker glory
full of unusual ingredients.
768
00:37:07,400 --> 00:37:09,935
So, this is the ube extract.
Ube is a purple yam,
769
00:37:09,960 --> 00:37:12,295
traditional sort of Filipino
ingredient.
770
00:37:12,320 --> 00:37:15,455
Very sort of vanilla notes.
Quite earthy as well.
771
00:37:16,720 --> 00:37:21,255
He's using it to make a purple yam
ice cream to crown his dessert.
772
00:37:23,080 --> 00:37:25,615
So, Budgie, tell me what's
happening with this dessert.
773
00:37:25,640 --> 00:37:27,935
So the title of the dish
is called Mix Mix Glory.
774
00:37:27,960 --> 00:37:30,895
It's inspired by a book
called Paddington
775
00:37:30,920 --> 00:37:33,415
Ancl The Knickerbocker Glory.
Oh, we love a Knickerbocker.
776
00:37:33,440 --> 00:37:35,615
So I'm doing a layered dessert.
For the ice component,
777
00:37:35,640 --> 00:37:37,775
we're going to have
buttermilk granita... Oh, yum.
778
00:37:37,800 --> 00:37:39,175
...some apple and pear jelly.
779
00:37:39,200 --> 00:37:42,135
Calamansi marmalade. Right, lovely.
Ube ice cream.
780
00:37:42,160 --> 00:37:43,735
Yam? Ube's a purple yam, yeah.
781
00:37:43,760 --> 00:37:46,015
I've got sweetened Carlin peas.
782
00:37:46,040 --> 00:37:48,455
Which are a bit like chickpeas.
Yeah, yeah, very similar.
783
00:37:48,480 --> 00:37:51,375
And how are you sweetening them?
How does that...? Sugar syrup.
784
00:37:51,400 --> 00:37:53,135
It's almost like a candied pea,
then.
785
00:37:53,160 --> 00:37:55,415
Yeah, yeah, but it'll be soft.
786
00:37:55,440 --> 00:37:58,175
I mean, obviously I'm familiar
with a knickerbocker glory... Yep.
787
00:37:58,200 --> 00:38:00,535
...but I've never had Carlin peas
in a dessert,
788
00:38:00,560 --> 00:38:03,935
and I've never even eaten a purple
yam, let alone in ice cream.
789
00:38:03,960 --> 00:38:06,575
So I'm fascinated by it.
Amazing.
790
00:38:07,840 --> 00:38:11,095
Budgie continues creating
the layers for his original
791
00:38:11,120 --> 00:38:14,135
and risky take
on a knickerbocker glory.
792
00:38:15,480 --> 00:38:18,055
It's all about timing.
793
00:38:18,080 --> 00:38:20,815
If one layer's not ready,
then none of it's ready.
794
00:38:21,880 --> 00:38:23,855
He boils apple and pear juice
795
00:38:23,880 --> 00:38:26,535
with water, sugar and gelatine
before setting.
796
00:38:29,200 --> 00:38:32,335
Whilst Avi makes
a flour less chocolate cake
797
00:38:32,360 --> 00:38:34,695
using dark rum
and coconut oil.
798
00:38:34,720 --> 00:38:37,335
It's like a really nice,
light, moussey kind of a cake,
799
00:38:37,360 --> 00:38:39,855
which is steamed in the oven
for about an hour.
800
00:38:39,880 --> 00:38:41,575
His dessert pays tribute
801
00:38:41,600 --> 00:38:45,575
to everybody's favourite
whistling pink aliens.
802
00:38:45,600 --> 00:38:48,895
I'm creating the Planet
Of The Clangers.
803
00:38:48,920 --> 00:38:51,175
WHISTLES
804
00:38:51,200 --> 00:38:53,255
Using coconut rice pudding.
805
00:38:53,280 --> 00:38:55,935
I'm going to pipe it into a balloon,
and then dip the balloon
806
00:38:55,960 --> 00:38:58,695
into liquid nitrogen
so it freezes the outside layer.
807
00:38:58,720 --> 00:39:01,535
And then the inside,
I want it to be still soft.
808
00:39:01,560 --> 00:39:03,655
So you want to freeze
the outside, but not the middle?
809
00:39:03,680 --> 00:39:05,015
That's right. Wow.
810
00:39:05,040 --> 00:39:06,495
Tricky stuff.
811
00:39:06,520 --> 00:39:08,015
It is pretty tricky.
812
00:39:09,520 --> 00:39:11,895
Despite being at the top
of the leader board,
813
00:39:11,920 --> 00:39:14,295
he's not resting on his laurels.
814
00:39:14,320 --> 00:39:17,735
To create his precarious
frozen coconut planet,
815
00:39:17,760 --> 00:39:21,095
Avi combines coconut milk,
sugar and rice.
816
00:39:21,120 --> 00:39:24,535
He adds coconut oil, rose water
and double cream
817
00:39:24,560 --> 00:39:26,295
before leaving to chill.
818
00:39:28,600 --> 00:39:31,335
Robbie, three points behind Avi,
819
00:39:31,360 --> 00:39:35,415
is pulling out all the stops
in his attempt to secure a place
820
00:39:35,440 --> 00:39:37,655
cooking for the judges tomorrow
821
00:39:37,680 --> 00:39:39,935
with a multi-layered
Queen of Hearts
822
00:39:39,960 --> 00:39:42,055
cherry and chocolate gateau.
823
00:39:42,080 --> 00:39:44,015
I've got my sponge mix
on the go here.
824
00:39:44,040 --> 00:39:47,855
I've got my chocolate melting
for my feuilletine disc.
825
00:39:47,880 --> 00:39:50,935
My chocolate melting for my mousse,
cocoa butter for my clip,
826
00:39:50,960 --> 00:39:52,495
my cherry gel in the freezer.
827
00:39:52,520 --> 00:39:54,895
So loads happening at the moment.
Yeah.
828
00:39:56,840 --> 00:39:58,335
Hey, Robbie. Hiya.
You all right?
829
00:39:58,360 --> 00:39:59,655
You look very busy.
830
00:39:59,680 --> 00:40:01,935
Seven pans on the go.
831
00:40:01,960 --> 00:40:03,095
Yeah, you know me.
832
00:40:03,120 --> 00:40:05,375
So tell me about your dish.
833
00:40:05,400 --> 00:40:07,255
The title of my dish
is My Queen Of Hearts,
834
00:40:07,280 --> 00:40:09,735
and it's inspired by Alice's
Adventures In Wonderland.
835
00:40:09,760 --> 00:40:12,295
John Tenniel illustrations.
That's right. Beautiful. Yes.
836
00:40:12,320 --> 00:40:16,255
So I'm making a heart-shaped
cherry and chocolate gateau.
837
00:40:16,280 --> 00:40:18,935
It's going to have feuilletine base,
then sponge,
838
00:40:18,960 --> 00:40:21,335
then it's going to have
a cherry gel insert.
839
00:40:21,360 --> 00:40:23,655
It's going to be coated in
a chocolate mousse,
840
00:40:23,680 --> 00:40:26,935
clipped in white chocolate and then
sprayed with a red velvet spray.
841
00:40:26,960 --> 00:40:28,215
Heavens.
842
00:40:28,240 --> 00:40:29,575
Sounds like a delicious dish.
843
00:40:29,600 --> 00:40:31,535
Black forest gateau sort of vibes,
isn't it?
844
00:40:31,560 --> 00:40:35,375
Ancl that's a classic combination
that works really well. Yes.
845
00:40:35,400 --> 00:40:38,055
Does this dish mean a lot to you?
I feel like somehow it does.
846
00:40:38,080 --> 00:40:39,855
Yeah, this one was
inspired by my wife,
847
00:40:39,880 --> 00:40:41,215
so this is for my wife.
848
00:40:41,240 --> 00:40:44,215
Oh, that's a lovely thing.
What's her name? Inga.
849
00:40:44,240 --> 00:40:45,975
All right, Inga.
850
00:40:46,000 --> 00:40:48,415
Hold your breath. Let's hope
it goes well, shall we?
851
00:40:49,640 --> 00:40:53,815
Robbie's romantic recipe
might melt his wife's heart,
852
00:40:53,840 --> 00:40:56,535
but it's Tommy he needs to woo now.
853
00:40:56,560 --> 00:40:58,695
Right, I'm in that oven
for ten minutes, OK?
854
00:40:58,720 --> 00:41:00,975
Please don't open.
855
00:41:01,000 --> 00:41:05,495
Budgie boils the pre-soaked,
controversial Carlin peas
856
00:41:05,520 --> 00:41:08,615
in sugar syrup to add sweetness.
857
00:41:08,640 --> 00:41:11,335
Traditionally, in the Philippines,
we would use red beans,
858
00:41:11,360 --> 00:41:13,855
but I wanted to use
sort of British ingredients.
859
00:41:13,880 --> 00:41:15,775
So using the Carlin pea.
860
00:41:15,800 --> 00:41:20,215
He churns the ube mixture
to create ice cream.
861
00:41:20,240 --> 00:41:22,215
That is an incredible colour.
862
00:41:22,240 --> 00:41:24,455
Ube is naturally purple.
863
00:41:28,880 --> 00:41:30,175
Ancl that's a purple yam?
864
00:41:30,200 --> 00:41:31,735
That is a purple yam.
865
00:41:31,760 --> 00:41:33,815
With, you know,
ice cream ingredients,
866
00:41:33,840 --> 00:41:35,255
but, yes.
867
00:41:35,280 --> 00:41:37,495
But the flavour is definitely
purple yam.
868
00:41:37,520 --> 00:41:39,095
And what about these peas?
869
00:41:39,120 --> 00:41:42,375
Carlin peas that have
been sweetened.
870
00:41:42,400 --> 00:41:45,295
Obviously they're a lot harder
than red beans.
871
00:41:45,320 --> 00:41:48,495
But this is quite a soft dessert,
so I wanted something
872
00:41:48,520 --> 00:41:50,135
with a little bit of body.
873
00:41:50,160 --> 00:41:52,655
It's fascinating.
CooL
874
00:41:52,680 --> 00:41:55,415
Budgie's yam ice cream is delicious.
875
00:41:55,440 --> 00:41:57,215
Really tasty.
876
00:41:57,240 --> 00:42:00,375
But the peas taste a lot like dried
peas, which I'm not sure
877
00:42:00,400 --> 00:42:01,855
have a place in a dessert.
878
00:42:03,520 --> 00:42:05,495
Tommy may not like the peas...
879
00:42:05,520 --> 00:42:07,135
What just happened?
880
00:42:07,160 --> 00:42:08,615
HE GROANS
881
00:42:08,640 --> 00:42:13,135
...but Budgie is more concerned about
his apple and pear jelly.
882
00:42:13,160 --> 00:42:17,015
The jelly kind of froze a little bit
in the blast chiller.
883
00:42:17,040 --> 00:42:18,575
It's not his day.
884
00:42:18,600 --> 00:42:20,415
He'll have to start again.
885
00:42:20,440 --> 00:42:24,375
But having previously been late to
the pass, he'll need to move quickly
886
00:42:24,400 --> 00:42:28,095
to avoid that happening again,
as he cannot afford to lose points.
887
00:42:31,160 --> 00:42:35,415
Avi also needs to keep an eye on
temperatures as he carefully
888
00:42:35,440 --> 00:42:37,215
tempers his chocolate.
889
00:42:37,240 --> 00:42:42,295
You heat your chocolate up to about
40-45 degrees, and then you rapidly
890
00:42:42,320 --> 00:42:46,215
bring the temperature down to about
20 or 30 degrees by adding more
891
00:42:46,240 --> 00:42:47,815
uncooked chocolate.
892
00:42:47,840 --> 00:42:51,255
The best way to check it is dip your
finger in the chocolate, put it on
893
00:42:51,280 --> 00:42:54,375
your lip and it should feel cooler
than the body temperature.
894
00:42:58,560 --> 00:43:00,695
Have you got anything
that I can try?
895
00:43:00,720 --> 00:43:02,615
Yes. That's the chocolate.
896
00:43:02,640 --> 00:43:05,375
It's got a bit of rose petals on one
side, a bit of glittery gold
897
00:43:05,400 --> 00:43:07,215
on the other side. Cool.
898
00:43:07,240 --> 00:43:10,015
So is this planet going to be ready
on time?
899
00:43:10,040 --> 00:43:13,135
Yeah, it's all chilling to about
four or five degrees.
900
00:43:13,160 --> 00:43:15,975
Not too cold either because it gets
really gloopy if it's too cold.
901
00:43:16,000 --> 00:43:18,055
It's going to be fascinating.
I can't wait to see it.
902
00:43:18,080 --> 00:43:19,975
Thank you.
903
00:43:20,000 --> 00:43:25,335
For his final element, Avi moves
onto his praline made from caramel
904
00:43:25,360 --> 00:43:27,375
and crushed pistachios.
905
00:43:27,400 --> 00:43:30,935
Really nice bright green. The
bitterness cuts through the cake.
906
00:43:35,960 --> 00:43:39,975
Robbie's assembling his indulgent
cherry and chocolate gateau
907
00:43:40,000 --> 00:43:42,935
with layers of chocolate sponge and
feuilletine,
908
00:43:42,960 --> 00:43:47,375
chilled cherry gel and chocolate
mousse in heart-shaped moulds.
909
00:43:51,440 --> 00:43:53,215
Robbie. How are you doing?
I'm good, yeah.
910
00:43:53,240 --> 00:43:55,615
Do you have anything that's
ready now I can try.
911
00:43:55,640 --> 00:43:57,295
Yeah, I've got a little bit of
cherry gel.
912
00:43:57,320 --> 00:43:59,895
So this must be an important part
of the dish because it'll bring
913
00:43:59,920 --> 00:44:01,335
a lot of acidity, will it?
Exactly.
914
00:44:01,360 --> 00:44:04,455
Counterbalance the sweetness
and bitterness of the chocolate.
915
00:44:04,480 --> 00:44:05,615
OK.
916
00:44:05,640 --> 00:44:07,895
I just tried Robbie's cherry gel.
917
00:44:07,920 --> 00:44:09,535
It was lovely and fruity and acidic.
918
00:44:09,560 --> 00:44:13,455
You could see how it would be really
nice with a chocolate dessert.
919
00:44:13,480 --> 00:44:16,015
It just seems like there's
an awful lot to do, though.
920
00:44:18,520 --> 00:44:20,255
First to the pass is Budgie.
921
00:44:20,280 --> 00:44:22,375
Yeah. Yeah, yeah.
Feeling good, feeling confident.
922
00:44:22,400 --> 00:44:23,695
I'm almost there.
923
00:44:23,720 --> 00:44:27,215
He holds his breath as his second
attempt at an apple and pear jelly
924
00:44:27,240 --> 00:44:30,655
chills and he starts
to layer his dessert.
925
00:44:30,680 --> 00:44:32,415
All right, Budgie,
you've got six minutes.
926
00:44:32,440 --> 00:44:34,175
Oui, Chef.
927
00:44:34,200 --> 00:44:36,535
He starts with calamansi
marmalade...
928
00:44:36,560 --> 00:44:39,335
What's a Paddington dessert
without marmalade? Yeah.
929
00:44:39,360 --> 00:44:41,575
...Carlin peas.
930
00:44:41,600 --> 00:44:43,775
Then it's crunch time for
his second jelly.
931
00:44:46,520 --> 00:44:47,935
Yeah. jelly's good.
932
00:44:49,440 --> 00:44:52,255
In goes buttermilk granita...
933
00:44:52,280 --> 00:44:53,895
Looks like a fun dessert, this,
Budgie.
934
00:44:53,920 --> 00:44:57,455
Yes. It's based off a dish called
halo-halo in the Philippines.
935
00:44:57,480 --> 00:44:59,215
Halo-halo actually means mix-mix.
Yeah.
936
00:44:59,240 --> 00:45:02,215
So the idea of this dish
is to kind of just get in there,
937
00:45:02,240 --> 00:45:04,455
tuck in, just have fun with it.
Nice.
938
00:45:04,480 --> 00:45:06,895
...more calamansi marmalade...
939
00:45:06,920 --> 00:45:08,935
Three minutes now, Budgie.
Yeah, oui.
940
00:45:08,960 --> 00:45:12,135
...a generous sprinkle of
latik coconut crumb...
941
00:45:13,720 --> 00:45:15,295
Sprinkles, obviously.
942
00:45:15,320 --> 00:45:17,495
It's all about colour.
Yeah.
943
00:45:18,600 --> 00:45:20,255
This is the ube ice cream.
944
00:45:20,280 --> 00:45:22,455
Wow. A lovely colour, that.
945
00:45:22,480 --> 00:45:26,215
Phwoar. Two bowls as well. Proper.
946
00:45:26,240 --> 00:45:27,255
Good serving! Yeah.
947
00:45:28,680 --> 00:45:31,935
...all topped off with a flourish
of purple sugar.
948
00:45:34,680 --> 00:45:36,255
Yeah.
H E CH UCKLES
949
00:45:36,280 --> 00:45:37,575
Here we go again.
950
00:45:37,600 --> 00:45:39,215
So this is Mix Mix Glory
951
00:45:39,240 --> 00:45:42,975
inspired by Paddington
Ancl The Knickerbocker Rainbow.
952
00:45:43,000 --> 00:45:44,615
Feeling good?
Yeah, very good.
953
00:45:44,640 --> 00:45:46,895
It's a dish I grew up with,
halo-halo.
954
00:45:46,920 --> 00:45:50,015
So, yeah, I'm proud to be able
to put something up of my heritage.
955
00:45:50,040 --> 00:45:53,175
Fantastic. Right,
let's go and eat before it melts.
956
00:46:02,760 --> 00:46:05,815
Well, this looks like proper,
like, seaside fun, doesn't it? Yeah.
957
00:46:05,840 --> 00:46:07,735
Yeah, real big.
958
00:46:07,760 --> 00:46:09,535
OK, let's talk
about this purple yam. Yep.
959
00:46:09,560 --> 00:46:11,735
Is the flavour of the ice cream
exactly how you wanted it?
960
00:46:11,760 --> 00:46:17,295
Yeah, the flavour's there,
sort of earthy, vanilla-ey.
961
00:46:17,320 --> 00:46:18,735
The texture I'm really happy with.
962
00:46:20,160 --> 00:46:22,615
It's delicious ice cream.
Beautifully smooth.
963
00:46:22,640 --> 00:46:24,095
I can't stop eating it.
964
00:46:24,120 --> 00:46:26,015
Do you think it's the right
level of sweetness?
965
00:46:26,040 --> 00:46:29,495
Yeah. You've got a sharp burst
of sweetness from the jelly,
966
00:46:29,520 --> 00:46:33,215
and then you've got the buttermilk
granita with a bit of acidity.
967
00:46:33,240 --> 00:46:36,055
Got a bit of sour, bit of sweet,
bit of bitterness.
968
00:46:36,080 --> 00:46:39,335
It's kind of interesting, cos
depending on which spoonfuls
969
00:46:39,360 --> 00:46:42,535
you take, it's either
more or less delicious.
970
00:46:42,560 --> 00:46:45,495
So, these Carlin peas,
this is quite a new one for me.
971
00:46:45,520 --> 00:46:48,735
Yeah. I enjoy the texture that it
brings to the dish.
972
00:46:48,760 --> 00:46:51,015
I'm not totally convinced by
the Carlin peas.
973
00:46:51,040 --> 00:46:52,095
I'm not either.
974
00:46:52,120 --> 00:46:54,855
But with the ice cream,
I think it's not too bad.
975
00:46:56,880 --> 00:47:00,335
It could actually be a pea shooter.
Yeah. Yeah.
976
00:47:00,360 --> 00:47:02,575
Ancl what would you score this?
977
00:47:02,600 --> 00:47:05,175
I'd give myself an eight. OK.
978
00:47:05,200 --> 00:47:07,775
I think I'll give it an eight.
979
00:47:07,800 --> 00:47:12,055
The only reason I'm not giving it
any more is because of those peas.
980
00:47:12,080 --> 00:47:13,215
It's a six for me.
981
00:47:13,240 --> 00:47:15,375
It hasn't got the wow, the
refinement that I'm looking for.
982
00:47:15,400 --> 00:47:16,575
Right.
983
00:47:20,480 --> 00:47:23,135
Yeah, all clone, guys. All clone.
How did it go, man?
984
00:47:23,160 --> 00:47:25,975
Obviously Tommy doesn't give
anything away, so we'll see. Yeah.
985
00:47:28,240 --> 00:47:31,895
Next to present his dessert is Avi.
986
00:47:31,920 --> 00:47:34,095
For his take on the
Clangers' Planet,
987
00:47:34,120 --> 00:47:37,415
he fills balloons with his coconut
pudding mixture, hoping
988
00:47:37,440 --> 00:47:39,655
for a light, aerated centre.
989
00:47:41,960 --> 00:47:44,655
He then carefully dips them
in liquid nitrogen.
990
00:47:44,680 --> 00:47:48,775
The idea is to flash-freeze
and form an outer shell.
991
00:47:50,000 --> 00:47:52,575
You've got six minutes, Avi.
How's it looking?
992
00:47:52,600 --> 00:47:54,935
Yeah, I should be there on time.
993
00:47:54,960 --> 00:47:56,935
I'm hoping.
AVI LAUGHS
994
00:47:58,720 --> 00:48:02,295
The flour less chocolate cake,
now baked, is plated first
995
00:48:02,320 --> 00:48:05,695
along with gold leaf and rose
petal chocolate shards,
996
00:48:05,720 --> 00:48:08,135
before Avi sees if his ambitious
997
00:48:08,160 --> 00:48:11,415
plan for his Clangers' Planets
has worked.
998
00:48:11,440 --> 00:48:12,895
What are you doing there, Av?
999
00:48:12,920 --> 00:48:16,655
Just getting the balloon
off the frozen moon,
1000
00:48:16,680 --> 00:48:18,695
which is posing a little problem.
1001
00:48:18,720 --> 00:48:19,895
Yep.
1002
00:48:19,920 --> 00:48:22,055
Finally free from their moulds...
1003
00:48:23,240 --> 00:48:25,895
Avi, you've got three minutes.
Yeah.
1004
00:48:25,920 --> 00:48:30,535
...the delicate coconut moons
are topped with pistachio praline...
1005
00:48:30,560 --> 00:48:32,815
Looks great, buddy.
Thank you.
1006
00:48:32,840 --> 00:48:36,855
...all served with a swanee whistle
for that Clangers vibe.
1007
00:48:36,880 --> 00:48:38,095
Got to go.
1008
00:48:38,120 --> 00:48:40,455
THEY PLAY WHISTLES
1009
00:48:40,480 --> 00:48:41,495
Hey.
1010
00:48:41,520 --> 00:48:43,095
ANDI WHISTLES A TUNE
1011
00:48:43,120 --> 00:48:44,535
Yeah.
1012
00:48:44,560 --> 00:48:45,615
What do you think, guys?
1013
00:48:45,640 --> 00:48:47,175
Looks incredible.
It looks amazing.
1014
00:48:47,200 --> 00:48:48,255
Thank you.
1015
00:48:48,280 --> 00:48:50,295
Let's go try it.
Thank you. Good luck, Chef.
1016
00:48:52,960 --> 00:48:54,895
HE PLAYS WHISTLE
1017
00:49:01,000 --> 00:49:02,615
HE PLAYS DESCENDING NOTE
1018
00:49:02,640 --> 00:49:06,135
I mean, this is truly inspired.
1019
00:49:12,320 --> 00:49:15,015
Did you want the filling to ooze
out more than it has clone?
1020
00:49:15,040 --> 00:49:16,975
Probably not.
You know, it works both ways.
1021
00:49:17,000 --> 00:49:19,135
It works like a custard,
but also as an ice cream.
1022
00:49:20,880 --> 00:49:22,535
I'm quite amazed by that.
1023
00:49:22,560 --> 00:49:24,095
Incredible. Yeah.
1024
00:49:24,120 --> 00:49:26,295
It's so light. Yeah. So airy.
1025
00:49:26,320 --> 00:49:27,695
Not only that, the flavour. Yeah.
1026
00:49:27,720 --> 00:49:30,335
The flavour is just banging. Yep.
1027
00:49:30,360 --> 00:49:33,335
Flourless chocolate cake, so
this took over an hour in the oven.
1028
00:49:33,360 --> 00:49:36,215
Are you happy with how that's come
out and the texture of it?
1029
00:49:36,240 --> 00:49:38,695
I love it.
it just melts away in your mouth.
1030
00:49:38,720 --> 00:49:40,615
It's more like a mousse almost,
isn't it? Yeah.
1031
00:49:40,640 --> 00:49:42,975
The texture's just perfect.
1032
00:49:43,000 --> 00:49:44,615
It's divine.
Yeah.
1033
00:49:44,640 --> 00:49:45,855
The pistachio praline,
1034
00:49:45,880 --> 00:49:48,575
think that brings the right
level of bitterness to the plate?
1035
00:49:48,600 --> 00:49:50,015
I think it does.
1036
00:49:50,040 --> 00:49:52,015
Yeah. Without that,
it would be too soft.
1037
00:49:52,040 --> 00:49:55,055
The pistachios
just add that little bite to it.
1038
00:49:56,200 --> 00:49:59,175
So if you were going to score this,
then, what would you give yourself?
1039
00:49:59,200 --> 00:50:01,455
Er, I'd say nine.
1040
00:50:01,480 --> 00:50:03,615
I'd like to give myself a ten,
but that would just mean
1041
00:50:03,640 --> 00:50:06,135
I'm being a bit arrogant.
THEY LAUGH
1042
00:50:06,160 --> 00:50:08,695
Let's get some scores. Robbie?
It's a ten.
1043
00:50:08,720 --> 00:50:10,135
Budgie? Ten for me.
1044
00:50:10,160 --> 00:50:13,375
Well, I mean, there's not really
much more to say, is there?
1045
00:50:17,200 --> 00:50:19,495
Hey, guys.
Outrageously good, mate.
1046
00:50:19,520 --> 00:50:21,135
Thank you.
Stunning dessert, man.
1047
00:50:21,160 --> 00:50:22,655
Incredible, honestly.
1048
00:50:24,520 --> 00:50:28,375
Robbie is serving last, but still
has the trickiest part of his
1049
00:50:28,400 --> 00:50:32,815
Alice In Wonderland-inspired,
multilayer gateau to tackle -
1050
00:50:32,840 --> 00:50:35,415
the white chocolate dip.
1051
00:50:35,440 --> 00:50:38,415
When my frozen gateaux come
out of the chiller, I need
1052
00:50:38,440 --> 00:50:39,975
this to set instantly around it.
1053
00:50:40,000 --> 00:50:42,055
If it's too hot, it will melt it.
1054
00:50:42,080 --> 00:50:44,455
If it's too cold,
it's not going to coat it.
1055
00:50:44,480 --> 00:50:47,175
And we're going to have a disaster
on our hands.
1056
00:50:51,960 --> 00:50:53,215
Heartache avoided,
1057
00:50:53,240 --> 00:50:55,855
Robbie covers them with a red
velvet spray...
1058
00:50:57,600 --> 00:50:59,455
...before plating.
1059
00:50:59,480 --> 00:51:00,495
Beautiful.
1060
00:51:02,520 --> 00:51:04,095
Robbie, you've got four minutes.
1061
00:51:04,120 --> 00:51:06,215
Right, I'm going to be early.
1062
00:51:06,240 --> 00:51:07,975
With four minutes to go
on your main course,
1063
00:51:08,000 --> 00:51:09,415
you didn't look like this.
1064
00:51:09,440 --> 00:51:10,655
No.
1065
00:51:10,680 --> 00:51:12,775
Ancl what's the gel?
It's cherry gel. Yeah.
1066
00:51:12,800 --> 00:51:14,975
Just to bring out the cherry
flavour.
1067
00:51:15,000 --> 00:51:18,455
For a refreshing kick,
Robbie mixes a cherry sour.
1068
00:51:18,480 --> 00:51:22,335
Vodka, cherry liqueur, little bit
of cherry juice, citric acid.
1069
00:51:22,360 --> 00:51:24,735
That looks like a lot of fun,
doesn't it? Yeah, it does.
1070
00:51:24,760 --> 00:51:26,055
To complete the dish,
1071
00:51:26,080 --> 00:51:29,735
a premade queen of hearts
white chocolate playing card...
1072
00:51:29,760 --> 00:51:31,095
My wife is my queen of hearts.
1073
00:51:31,120 --> 00:51:33,655
That's what that's all about.
Yeah.
1074
00:51:33,680 --> 00:51:36,775
...and a garnish of
apple marigold leaves.
1075
00:51:38,520 --> 00:51:41,415
Oh... Look at that. Wow.
1076
00:51:41,440 --> 00:51:42,575
I like it.
1077
00:51:42,600 --> 00:51:44,815
So, this dessert is called
My Queen Of Hearts.
1078
00:51:44,840 --> 00:51:47,775
It's inspired by Alice's
Adventures In Wonderland.
1079
00:51:47,800 --> 00:51:49,335
So romantic.
1080
00:51:49,360 --> 00:51:50,975
Is your wife going to be
happy with you?
1081
00:51:51,000 --> 00:51:53,615
I hope so. Yeah. Yeah.
THEY LAUGH
1082
00:51:53,640 --> 00:51:55,495
Right, let's go do it.
1083
00:51:55,520 --> 00:51:57,015
Last one! Yeah.
1084
00:52:05,800 --> 00:52:07,495
Shall we try our cherry sour?
1085
00:52:07,520 --> 00:52:09,375
Yeah.
1086
00:52:09,400 --> 00:52:10,415
Woo-eel!
1087
00:52:11,640 --> 00:52:13,975
Sure is sour.
Yeah.
1088
00:52:14,000 --> 00:52:17,495
OK. So I guess we should
break the heart.
1089
00:52:20,600 --> 00:52:22,775
So, are you happy with all
the balance of flavours here?
1090
00:52:22,800 --> 00:52:24,055
Yeah, I think they work well.
1091
00:52:24,080 --> 00:52:26,615
The richness of the chocolate,
sourness of the cherry,
1092
00:52:26,640 --> 00:52:28,215
they complement each other.
1093
00:52:30,040 --> 00:52:31,095
Yeah, it's really nice.
1094
00:52:31,120 --> 00:52:33,535
It's got a really nice snap,
the chocolate on the outside.
1095
00:52:33,560 --> 00:52:35,575
Is the chocolate outside
a little thick, though?
1096
00:52:35,600 --> 00:52:40,015
Yeah, there's a couple of parts
where it's a little bit thick.
1097
00:52:40,040 --> 00:52:42,415
The cherry gel,
you're happy with how that is?
1098
00:52:42,440 --> 00:52:45,095
The gel is a little bit colder
than I would've liked it.
1099
00:52:45,120 --> 00:52:48,135
I think the temperature's not
quite there on the gel.
1100
00:52:48,160 --> 00:52:51,335
Yeah, it could be a bit more punchy,
but because it's so cold, I think
1101
00:52:51,360 --> 00:52:53,895
it's toned down the intensity of it.
Yeah.
1102
00:52:53,920 --> 00:52:56,895
The chocolate sponge at the base
and the feuilletine, is that
1103
00:52:56,920 --> 00:52:58,695
bringing the texture
that you wanted? Yes.
1104
00:52:58,720 --> 00:53:01,775
Little crunch, softness of the
sponge, exactly what I wanted.
1105
00:53:01,800 --> 00:53:03,655
Do you think it's a bit big?
1106
00:53:03,680 --> 00:53:06,335
I mean, I've got a sweet tooth.
I'd probably finish that.
1107
00:53:06,360 --> 00:53:08,855
I think with this, if it gets
a little bit too sweet,
1108
00:53:08,880 --> 00:53:10,015
you can have a little...
1109
00:53:10,040 --> 00:53:11,215
Yeah!
1110
00:53:11,240 --> 00:53:13,455
What would you score yourself?
I think that's an eight.
1111
00:53:13,480 --> 00:53:15,495
Yeah, I'm happy with
the balance of the flavours.
1112
00:53:15,520 --> 00:53:18,535
I think I've executed everything
I wanted to in there.
1113
00:53:18,560 --> 00:53:22,375
And hopefully by that sour going to
your head, might get a better score
1114
00:53:22,400 --> 00:53:23,735
than I have all week.
1115
00:53:24,920 --> 00:53:27,095
Scores. Budgie? Nine.
1116
00:53:27,120 --> 00:53:29,015
Temperature. Temperature.
1117
00:53:29,040 --> 00:53:31,255
I'd give him a nine, too.
just for the gel.
1118
00:53:31,280 --> 00:53:32,575
Well done, Robbie.
1119
00:53:38,600 --> 00:53:40,415
Hi, Robbie. How's it going?
Yeah, good, man.
1120
00:53:40,440 --> 00:53:42,375
How was that, mate?
Yeah, it was all right.
1121
00:53:42,400 --> 00:53:44,695
I thought your dish was great, man.
Thank you.
1122
00:53:44,720 --> 00:53:45,775
Very pretty.
1123
00:53:45,800 --> 00:53:47,695
Didn't know you were a little
softie inside.
1124
00:53:47,720 --> 00:53:49,935
Softie at heart, eh?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
1125
00:53:49,960 --> 00:53:53,735
Well, I am quite a happy bunny
over here after desserts.
1126
00:53:53,760 --> 00:53:56,255
How are you feeling?
Yeah, I'm really impressed.
1127
00:53:56,280 --> 00:53:58,015
There was some really good cooking
on show,
1128
00:53:58,040 --> 00:53:59,375
so there's not much in this.
1129
00:53:59,400 --> 00:54:02,055
I am really proud of all of them.
1130
00:54:02,080 --> 00:54:04,895
Whoever does go home has really put
their best foot forward
1131
00:54:04,920 --> 00:54:06,215
in this last course.
1132
00:54:06,240 --> 00:54:08,855
Right, shall we go see
what the scores are?
1133
00:54:08,880 --> 00:54:11,255
Let's do it. Good luck, everyone.
Good luck, guys.
1134
00:54:16,080 --> 00:54:21,895
As the scores stand, Budgie
is on 17, Robbie 19 and Avi's
1135
00:54:21,920 --> 00:54:23,975
in the lead on 22.
1136
00:54:25,920 --> 00:54:30,655
Well, interesting flavours,
challenging techniques.
1137
00:54:30,680 --> 00:54:33,695
The dessert course was fascinating.
1138
00:54:33,720 --> 00:54:38,415
Budgie, for your dish,
Mix Mix Glory.
1139
00:54:38,440 --> 00:54:40,935
I thought it was a nice take on the
brief, and I liked the way you
1140
00:54:40,960 --> 00:54:43,255
combined Paddington with your
heritage as well.
1141
00:54:44,720 --> 00:54:47,335
Purple yam ice cream,
1142
00:54:47,360 --> 00:54:48,495
that was delicious.
1143
00:54:48,520 --> 00:54:51,575
Such a vivid colour
and luxurious texture.
1144
00:54:53,040 --> 00:54:56,255
The buttermilk granita
had a brilliant flavour.
1145
00:54:56,280 --> 00:54:59,375
I didn't think I was going
to like Carlin peas on a dessert,
1146
00:54:59,400 --> 00:55:02,255
but I'm happy to eat humble pie
on that.
1147
00:55:03,560 --> 00:55:05,935
I thought the apple and pear jelly
was a little lost.
1148
00:55:05,960 --> 00:55:07,695
If you want to make it more refined,
1149
00:55:07,720 --> 00:55:10,015
maybe you could set the jelly
in between the layers,
1150
00:55:10,040 --> 00:55:13,255
which would make the whole thing
just a bit more elegant.
1151
00:55:14,680 --> 00:55:17,855
Avi, for your dish,
Planets Of The Clangers.
1152
00:55:19,120 --> 00:55:20,895
I loved the swanee whistle.
1153
00:55:20,920 --> 00:55:23,975
I thought it was hilarious.
Super fun at the banquet.
1154
00:55:24,000 --> 00:55:26,655
Your coconut planet was light
and refreshing,
1155
00:55:26,680 --> 00:55:29,535
and the texture was fantastic.
1156
00:55:29,560 --> 00:55:32,575
The chocolate cake
was off the chart.
1157
00:55:32,600 --> 00:55:33,855
It was incredible.
1158
00:55:33,880 --> 00:55:36,495
So rich, light and flavourful.
1159
00:55:36,520 --> 00:55:39,935
It was totally delicious
and satisfying.
1160
00:55:39,960 --> 00:55:42,815
I really enjoyed the bitterness
of the praline.
1161
00:55:42,840 --> 00:55:46,055
This was a simple dessert in terms
of the number of flavours,
1162
00:55:46,080 --> 00:55:47,855
but it was perfectly balanced.
1163
00:55:49,200 --> 00:55:53,575
Robbie, for your dish,
My Queen Of Hearts.
1164
00:55:53,600 --> 00:55:55,135
Presentation was great.
1165
00:55:55,160 --> 00:55:59,295
It was precise and neat and exactly
what we were looking for.
1166
00:55:59,320 --> 00:56:01,975
I think the heart mousse had some
really good textures,
1167
00:56:02,000 --> 00:56:03,615
light and full of flavour.
1168
00:56:04,720 --> 00:56:06,175
The feuilletine was crisp.
1169
00:56:06,200 --> 00:56:10,175
It was just a shame that the cherry
centre was still quite cold.
1170
00:56:11,440 --> 00:56:13,895
So, to the scores.
1171
00:56:15,400 --> 00:56:16,415
Robbie...
1172
00:56:18,240 --> 00:56:19,335
...|'m giving you...
1173
00:56:21,480 --> 00:56:23,175
...an eight.
1174
00:56:23,200 --> 00:56:26,775
I know this dish meant an awful lot
to you, and that translated
1175
00:56:26,800 --> 00:56:28,695
very well to the plate.
1176
00:56:28,720 --> 00:56:29,735
Thank you.
1177
00:56:29,760 --> 00:56:30,975
Avi...
1178
00:56:32,720 --> 00:56:33,895
...I'm scoring you...
1179
00:56:36,200 --> 00:56:38,415
...a ten. Well clone.
1180
00:56:38,440 --> 00:56:41,695
Avi, that was glorious,
magical.
1181
00:56:41,720 --> 00:56:44,015
A stunning dessert.
Thank you.
1182
00:56:44,040 --> 00:56:45,215
Ancl Budgie...
1183
00:56:46,720 --> 00:56:47,895
...I'm scoring you...
1184
00:56:50,640 --> 00:56:52,095
...an eight.
1185
00:56:52,120 --> 00:56:55,335
So that means, Avi, you're on 32.
1186
00:56:55,360 --> 00:56:57,455
Robbie, you're on 27.
1187
00:56:57,480 --> 00:57:00,575
And, Budgie, you're on 25.
1188
00:57:00,600 --> 00:57:03,655
So, sadly, that means
you will be leaving us, Budgie.
1189
00:57:03,680 --> 00:57:08,015
It has been an absolute joy
to have your enthusiasm
1190
00:57:08,040 --> 00:57:09,975
and innovation, really, for us.
1191
00:57:10,000 --> 00:57:13,135
You've introduced us to so many
new things throughout this week.
1192
00:57:13,160 --> 00:57:14,215
Thank you.
1193
00:57:14,240 --> 00:57:17,615
Robbie and Avi, you go get some rest
cos a big clay tomorrow.
1194
00:57:17,640 --> 00:57:20,655
Go and smash it. Thank you.
Thank you. Thank you so much.
1195
00:57:20,680 --> 00:57:23,335
Well clone, mate. Well done.
1196
00:57:23,360 --> 00:57:24,415
Cheers, mate.
1197
00:57:24,440 --> 00:57:27,855
No commiserations. It's been an
absolute pleasure. Thank you, pal.
1198
00:57:27,880 --> 00:57:29,695
Do it for the London
and the south-east, huh?
1199
00:57:29,720 --> 00:57:30,735
Sure, man.
1200
00:57:32,400 --> 00:57:35,455
I'm definitely leaving with my head
held high, super proud of being able
1201
00:57:35,480 --> 00:57:38,255
to represent my heritage
and really pleased that Tommy
1202
00:57:38,280 --> 00:57:40,335
enjoyed my dessert.
1203
00:57:40,360 --> 00:57:42,375
I'm really excited to cook
for the judges.
1204
00:57:42,400 --> 00:57:44,295
I'm one step closer to the banquet,
1205
00:57:44,320 --> 00:57:47,175
so hopefully I can smash it out
the park tomorrow.
1206
00:57:47,200 --> 00:57:49,695
Getting a ten is spectacular.
1207
00:57:49,720 --> 00:57:53,255
I think I have what it takes to be
in the final and really looking
1208
00:57:53,280 --> 00:57:55,015
forward to cooking
for the judges now.
1209
00:57:55,040 --> 00:57:57,095
The two chefs going through
to the judges tomorrow
1210
00:57:57,120 --> 00:57:58,215
are very different.
1211
00:57:58,240 --> 00:58:01,215
Ancl I think if they take on some
of my advice and make a few tweaks
1212
00:58:01,240 --> 00:58:04,055
to their dishes, hopefully we'll see
London and the south-east
1213
00:58:04,080 --> 00:58:05,575
at the banquet again.
1214
00:58:11,480 --> 00:58:12,895
Next time...
1215
00:58:12,920 --> 00:58:14,015
Good luck.
1216
00:58:14,040 --> 00:58:17,455
...there are four new palates
to impress in the judging chamber.
1217
00:58:17,480 --> 00:58:18,535
Wow.
1218
00:58:18,560 --> 00:58:22,095
But it's far from plain sailing
in the kitchen.
1219
00:58:22,120 --> 00:58:24,015
I don't want to take any chances.
1220
00:58:24,040 --> 00:58:27,735
Will it be Robbie or Avi
who emerges triumphant?
1221
00:58:27,760 --> 00:58:29,015
The winner is...
