1
00:00:01,680 --> 00:00:04,455
It's knockout week on MasterChef.
2
00:00:06,160 --> 00:00:10,815
After five weeks of rigorous
competition,
3
00:00:10,840 --> 00:00:15,895
45 home cooks have been whittled down
to the best 14.
4
00:00:15,920 --> 00:00:18,015
You've let me unleash the beast.
5
00:00:18,040 --> 00:00:19,695
Let me show you what I can do.
6
00:00:19,720 --> 00:00:20,975
Here we go, guys.
7
00:00:22,480 --> 00:00:24,735
I think this competition
is forcing me
8
00:00:24,760 --> 00:00:27,495
to grow, to change,
to learn new things.
9
00:00:27,520 --> 00:00:29,735
Scary, but I'm here for it.
10
00:00:31,560 --> 00:00:34,695
My husband's made up. I'm cooking
him lots of such nice meals,
11
00:00:34,720 --> 00:00:37,215
so he says, so hopefully he's right.
12
00:00:39,120 --> 00:00:40,815
This competition is mine, man.
13
00:00:40,840 --> 00:00:42,175
Honestly, I'm taking it.
14
00:00:44,840 --> 00:00:50,095
Tonight, the first group of seven
return to fight for the right to cook
15
00:00:50,120 --> 00:00:53,255
in a professional kitchen
for the first time.
16
00:00:53,280 --> 00:00:54,975
Hey, where's my red mullet?
17
00:00:57,120 --> 00:00:58,615
Looking good.
18
00:00:58,640 --> 00:01:01,055
JOHN: The reward today for the
people who go through
19
00:01:01,080 --> 00:01:02,815
is they get their chef's whites,
20
00:01:02,840 --> 00:01:04,935
and this is where it gets serious.
21
00:01:04,960 --> 00:01:06,735
This is where it gets brutal.
22
00:01:24,640 --> 00:01:28,695
Welcome back to the MasterChef
kitchen and congratulations -
23
00:01:28,720 --> 00:01:31,055
you are in knockout week.
24
00:01:31,080 --> 00:01:36,455
And let me tell you something -
the standard this year is sky-high.
25
00:01:36,480 --> 00:01:38,815
You may have noticed that someone's
missing.
26
00:01:38,840 --> 00:01:41,615
Sadly, Gregg is unwell.
27
00:01:41,640 --> 00:01:45,855
So, to help me, we have invited
in a guest judge -
28
00:01:45,880 --> 00:01:51,215
chef, restaurateur
and MasterChef Professional judge
29
00:01:51,240 --> 00:01:52,535
Anna Haugh.
30
00:01:58,200 --> 00:01:59,855
It's really great to see you all.
31
00:01:59,880 --> 00:02:03,575
I am so excited to see what food
you're going to create today.
32
00:02:03,600 --> 00:02:05,535
We've set you a brief.
33
00:02:05,560 --> 00:02:10,295
You need to create one dish that
you would put in your restaurant,
34
00:02:10,320 --> 00:02:15,175
that you would serve at your pop-up
or even put in your cookbook.
35
00:02:15,200 --> 00:02:21,975
I expect this dish to be a signpost
on where you want to go as a cook.
36
00:02:22,000 --> 00:02:26,495
It is about cementing your style
but also, at the end of this,
37
00:02:26,520 --> 00:02:28,935
two of you will be going home.
38
00:02:28,960 --> 00:02:32,135
You'll have one hour and 30 minutes,
ladies and gentlemen.
39
00:02:32,160 --> 00:02:33,655
Let's cook.
40
00:02:40,920 --> 00:02:44,575
What I love about this brief
is that, in a very small period
41
00:02:44,600 --> 00:02:48,175
of time, I should be able
to get to know these cooks.
42
00:02:48,200 --> 00:02:51,495
It should be a little snapshot
that tells me about what food
43
00:02:51,520 --> 00:02:52,975
really excites them.
44
00:02:58,280 --> 00:03:02,615
Vanessa takes influences
from all around the world.
45
00:03:02,640 --> 00:03:06,415
She's willing to just try things
a little bit out of the ordinary,
46
00:03:06,440 --> 00:03:09,895
including blueberries
in a pasta rag...
47
00:03:09,920 --> 00:03:13,495
I think the brief today definitely
makes everything seem more real,
48
00:03:13,520 --> 00:03:15,855
like the possibility of designing
a dish that you would
49
00:03:15,880 --> 00:03:17,575
have in your own restaurant.
50
00:03:17,600 --> 00:03:20,455
You feel like you're potentially
on your way to sort of
51
00:03:20,480 --> 00:03:22,255
having a career in food.
52
00:03:23,440 --> 00:03:27,495
So I'm doing a take on butter
chicken, but I'm deconstructing it.
53
00:03:27,520 --> 00:03:31,135
I am autistic and I have a lot
of sensory sensitivities
54
00:03:31,160 --> 00:03:35,055
and, when I go to a restaurant, one
of the things that I do when a dish
55
00:03:35,080 --> 00:03:38,095
is presented to me is I spend the
first five minutes deconstructing
56
00:03:38,120 --> 00:03:40,495
so that the ice cream is away
from my brownie.
57
00:03:40,520 --> 00:03:44,215
And I just want everyone to be able
to enjoy a dish the way
58
00:03:44,240 --> 00:03:45,735
that they enjoy it.
59
00:03:45,760 --> 00:03:47,735
So is the dream to have
a restaurant?
60
00:03:47,760 --> 00:03:49,815
I'd be on cloud nine if
I had a restaurant.
61
00:03:49,840 --> 00:03:52,575
To even have a cookbook, you know,
I think this is a dish that somebody
62
00:03:52,600 --> 00:03:54,935
could recreate at home.
There's nothing outrageous in it.
63
00:03:54,960 --> 00:03:56,495
I can't wait to try it.
64
00:03:56,520 --> 00:03:57,535
Thank you.
65
00:03:59,640 --> 00:04:03,375
Vanessa is deconstructing one
of the most classic Indian dishes
66
00:04:03,400 --> 00:04:06,055
of all, the butter chicken.
67
00:04:06,080 --> 00:04:10,575
She's going to pan-fry her chicken
breast in some ghee.
68
00:04:10,600 --> 00:04:13,575
Her butter chicken sauce that's
going to go on the side,
69
00:04:13,600 --> 00:04:16,615
that's got to have lots of layers
of flavour.
70
00:04:16,640 --> 00:04:18,455
With that, we've got a
chayote salad,
71
00:04:18,480 --> 00:04:20,095
a vegetable which is quite firm.
72
00:04:20,120 --> 00:04:22,215
She's going to cut it really,
really thinly.
73
00:04:22,240 --> 00:04:26,095
It's like a coleslaw, with apples
and carrots going through it.
74
00:04:26,120 --> 00:04:28,895
And then, on the side of that,
some texture, with a crumble made
75
00:04:28,920 --> 00:04:32,695
from hazelnuts and lots of different
spices and sesame seeds.
76
00:04:32,720 --> 00:04:35,055
I'll be really fascinated
to see how this works.
77
00:04:35,080 --> 00:04:37,295
I'm confident in the flavours
for sure.
78
00:04:37,320 --> 00:04:40,015
Whether or not
they'll like the deconstruction,
79
00:04:40,040 --> 00:04:41,535
that's another thing.
80
00:04:43,280 --> 00:04:45,295
Endang grew up in Indonesia,
81
00:04:45,320 --> 00:04:48,095
so her food has Indonesian
influences.
82
00:04:48,120 --> 00:04:52,215
Her flavours are ace but her eye
for detail needs improvement.
83
00:04:53,640 --> 00:04:55,415
I just love to invent a dish
84
00:04:55,440 --> 00:04:58,135
and I'm hoping that I can go through
to the semifinal.
85
00:04:58,160 --> 00:04:59,895
That would be beautiful.
86
00:05:01,880 --> 00:05:04,495
Endang is inspired by
an Indonesian soup
87
00:05:04,520 --> 00:05:07,695
and she's going to turn that
into a kind of sauce
88
00:05:07,720 --> 00:05:10,415
to sit below a pan-roasted
fillet of beef.
89
00:05:10,440 --> 00:05:13,695
She's going to add lots of other
elements to this dish.
90
00:05:13,720 --> 00:05:16,255
She's got tempeh,
which is really like a tofu,
91
00:05:16,280 --> 00:05:18,615
except you take soya beans
and ferment them.
92
00:05:18,640 --> 00:05:21,935
She's also got some bean sprouts
and then a tuile
93
00:05:21,960 --> 00:05:24,095
flavoured with chilli
and Parmesan cheese.
94
00:05:24,120 --> 00:05:26,535
On the side of that,
we've got sambal.
95
00:05:26,560 --> 00:05:29,015
Lovely, lovely chilli paste,
96
00:05:29,040 --> 00:05:30,975
very, very strong,
very, very pungent.
97
00:05:32,360 --> 00:05:35,335
I just hope it's not too overbearing
of that piece of beef.
98
00:05:36,480 --> 00:05:38,775
Where does this dish belong?
99
00:05:38,800 --> 00:05:42,575
Could be in a cookbook,
because I live in Scotland 22 years.
100
00:05:42,600 --> 00:05:45,495
When I just moved to Scotland,
I can't even find lemongrass.
101
00:05:45,520 --> 00:05:47,495
But now lemongrass is in every shop.
102
00:05:47,520 --> 00:05:51,375
So it kind of makes it easier
now that you can cook this dish
103
00:05:51,400 --> 00:05:53,775
because the ingredients
are now available.
104
00:05:53,800 --> 00:05:56,495
I am very excited to taste
your dish today.
105
00:05:56,520 --> 00:05:57,535
Thank you.
106
00:05:59,800 --> 00:06:03,215
All right, cooks.
That's 35 minutes gone.
107
00:06:03,240 --> 00:06:04,415
It goes fast.
108
00:06:05,760 --> 00:06:08,015
Nickolas loves French technique
109
00:06:08,040 --> 00:06:11,895
but also brings the flavours
of Latin America.
110
00:06:11,920 --> 00:06:15,015
He's now going to take a fillet
of beef
111
00:06:15,040 --> 00:06:18,495
but underneath that we've got
sweetcorn veloute,
112
00:06:18,520 --> 00:06:20,895
with a chilli going through it
as well,
113
00:06:20,920 --> 00:06:22,935
which is smoky but also spicy.
114
00:06:22,960 --> 00:06:25,135
He's also going to serve
it with a huacatay oil,
115
00:06:25,160 --> 00:06:28,295
which is something
I have never had before.
116
00:06:28,320 --> 00:06:30,015
They might have never tried
huacatay.
117
00:06:30,040 --> 00:06:32,375
It's quite an obscure herb.
It comes from Peru.
118
00:06:32,400 --> 00:06:35,935
And the poblano chilli is just
a beautiful piece of heat
119
00:06:35,960 --> 00:06:37,695
that's going to really spice up
the corn.
120
00:06:39,400 --> 00:06:42,255
Ideally, my dream is to have
my own restaurant,
121
00:06:42,280 --> 00:06:45,975
and it will be Latin-inspired
flavours with French execution.
122
00:06:46,000 --> 00:06:49,055
I want it to be something that
people from South America can go,
123
00:06:49,080 --> 00:06:51,575
"Wow, we're proud of this guy.
He's doing our name right."
124
00:06:51,600 --> 00:06:53,455
It smells good. Thank you.
125
00:06:56,800 --> 00:06:58,535
OK. So, they're blitzed.
126
00:06:58,560 --> 00:07:02,775
Linda, Liverpudlian who loves
the flavours of North Africa
127
00:07:02,800 --> 00:07:06,535
and does really sophisticated,
surprising food.
128
00:07:06,560 --> 00:07:10,375
Turning 60, it's given me
a boost, really,
129
00:07:10,400 --> 00:07:13,695
to think that, you know,
there is more to come.
130
00:07:13,720 --> 00:07:16,415
I've always said I'd love to have
my own bistro,
131
00:07:16,440 --> 00:07:20,975
just cook every day, because I
love it. I just love doing it. Yeah.
132
00:07:23,640 --> 00:07:27,735
It's sort of like a Moroccan-style
dish, because my husband's Moroccan,
133
00:07:27,760 --> 00:07:30,335
an orange blossom Bakewell tart
134
00:07:30,360 --> 00:07:34,775
with almond briouats and some
Turkish delight ice cream.
135
00:07:34,800 --> 00:07:37,135
Briouats. I've never had that
before. What's a briouat?
136
00:07:37,160 --> 00:07:40,295
It's almond paste
with orange blossom water
137
00:07:40,320 --> 00:07:42,615
and then deep-fried in pastry.
138
00:07:42,640 --> 00:07:45,535
So we've got a Bakewell tart,
which is very, very British,
139
00:07:45,560 --> 00:07:48,455
these little parcels, which
celebrate the cuisine of
140
00:07:48,480 --> 00:07:52,055
North Africa, served with
a Turkish delight ice cream.
141
00:07:53,160 --> 00:07:55,895
I know. I just thought
I'd throw it all in there.
142
00:07:58,560 --> 00:08:02,335
I love a Bakewell tart - really
soft, crumbly, buttery pastry.
143
00:08:02,360 --> 00:08:04,455
I want that top to be lovely
and soft
144
00:08:04,480 --> 00:08:06,255
and taste of almonds.
145
00:08:06,280 --> 00:08:09,255
Love that she's going to flavour
it with orange blossom.
146
00:08:09,280 --> 00:08:12,375
It's an interesting flavour
to add into a Bakewell tart.
147
00:08:12,400 --> 00:08:15,295
She's also going to make
these little nutty parcels,
148
00:08:15,320 --> 00:08:18,535
which again will have a hint
of orange blossom off them as well.
149
00:08:18,560 --> 00:08:21,615
And then she's melted Turkish
delight into creme anglaise
150
00:08:21,640 --> 00:08:23,975
to make an ice cream mixture.
151
00:08:24,000 --> 00:08:25,935
That could be delicious.
152
00:08:30,200 --> 00:08:32,215
Let me just make sure
that the flavour is right.
153
00:08:34,560 --> 00:08:37,135
You need to know
what you're working with.
154
00:08:37,160 --> 00:08:39,815
Miles is a graphic designer
from London.
155
00:08:39,840 --> 00:08:43,455
He takes really classic ideas
and he completely turns them
156
00:08:43,480 --> 00:08:45,175
on their head.
157
00:08:45,200 --> 00:08:47,615
He's willing to absolutely
go for it.
158
00:08:49,160 --> 00:08:52,015
I think the problem is I've got a
lot going on in my head
159
00:08:52,040 --> 00:08:54,655
and I really need to sort of put
a filter on that.
160
00:08:54,680 --> 00:08:57,255
I don't have to put everything
on the plate.
161
00:08:57,280 --> 00:08:58,615
That's a bit of a worry,
162
00:08:58,640 --> 00:09:00,655
because I want to put everything
on the plate.
163
00:09:02,440 --> 00:09:04,935
So, Miles... Yeah.
..what are you going to cook for us?
164
00:09:04,960 --> 00:09:06,895
I'm making a pan-roasted grouse,
165
00:09:06,920 --> 00:09:10,815
and then I'm going to carve the leg
and thigh, deep-fry it.
166
00:09:10,840 --> 00:09:13,055
My version of a fried chicken.
167
00:09:13,080 --> 00:09:15,495
And then going to have
a red wine sauce, salsify,
168
00:09:15,520 --> 00:09:18,775
with girolles
and a redcurrant caviar.
169
00:09:18,800 --> 00:09:20,615
Sounds great. You've got a lot of
work ahead.
170
00:09:20,640 --> 00:09:23,015
I've got tonnes of work, yeah.
You'd better get going then.
171
00:09:23,040 --> 00:09:24,815
Yeah, let's go.
172
00:09:25,920 --> 00:09:28,775
I love grouse
173
00:09:28,800 --> 00:09:31,055
but grouse legs,
they're actually quite tough
174
00:09:31,080 --> 00:09:33,895
and they need a bit of time
to cook properly.
175
00:09:33,920 --> 00:09:37,695
Only cooking it in the fryer might
result in it being a little bit dry.
176
00:09:37,720 --> 00:09:39,135
Just waiting now.
177
00:09:39,160 --> 00:09:42,055
With that, Miles is making
a redcurrant caviar.
178
00:09:42,080 --> 00:09:45,055
He's taking fresh redcurrants and
some vinegar, a little white wine,
179
00:09:45,080 --> 00:09:47,375
and he's going to put agar into it,
180
00:09:47,400 --> 00:09:50,095
which will set,
like the texture of caviar.
181
00:09:50,120 --> 00:09:52,175
And then we've got salsify.
182
00:09:52,200 --> 00:09:54,495
Salsify isn't bursting with flavour,
183
00:09:54,520 --> 00:09:57,615
so he's going to have seaweed
wrapped around it.
184
00:09:57,640 --> 00:10:00,095
I'm curious to see how
that's going to taste.
185
00:10:02,880 --> 00:10:04,655
Got to work quickly here.
186
00:10:06,400 --> 00:10:09,175
Robin fascinates me
because he thinks very, very
187
00:10:09,200 --> 00:10:10,975
differently from many cooks.
188
00:10:11,000 --> 00:10:15,855
He takes inspiration from everyday
items, including a bowl of cereal.
189
00:10:15,880 --> 00:10:18,655
Part of opening a restaurant
is the journey
190
00:10:18,680 --> 00:10:20,575
and how your cooking evolves.
191
00:10:20,600 --> 00:10:22,375
This dish is completely new to me.
192
00:10:22,400 --> 00:10:25,015
It's just flavours that I like
and potentially would like to grow
193
00:10:25,040 --> 00:10:28,055
in, like, a kitchen garden as well.
194
00:10:28,080 --> 00:10:31,775
Today I am cooking you a leek
and potato rarebit pie,
195
00:10:31,800 --> 00:10:33,695
because I like cheese and beer,
196
00:10:33,720 --> 00:10:38,655
a fillet of beef, pickled beetroot,
parsley puree,
197
00:10:38,680 --> 00:10:41,215
and the sauce is done with stout
and beef reduction,
198
00:10:41,240 --> 00:10:42,815
with a bit of chocolate added in.
199
00:10:42,840 --> 00:10:44,975
We've got a rarebit pie
and chocolate?
200
00:10:45,000 --> 00:10:49,015
Yeah. Basically, my favourite
flavours - meat, cheese, beer...
201
00:10:50,160 --> 00:10:51,655
...pastry... And chocolate.
202
00:10:51,680 --> 00:10:53,455
It's all of the good things in life.
203
00:10:56,480 --> 00:10:58,935
Robin is definitely going to push
the boundaries
204
00:10:58,960 --> 00:11:01,095
when it comes to flavour.
205
00:11:01,120 --> 00:11:03,695
Parsley puree, fillet steak,
beetroot -
206
00:11:03,720 --> 00:11:06,215
all of these are reasonable,
but all of a sudden we start
207
00:11:06,240 --> 00:11:08,615
sprinkling in Welsh rarebit
and chocolate.
208
00:11:08,640 --> 00:11:10,575
There's a huge amount
of work on that plate.
209
00:11:10,600 --> 00:11:12,575
I just hope it's not
too many things.
210
00:11:16,960 --> 00:11:19,455
John is a painter and decorator
from Bristol.
211
00:11:19,480 --> 00:11:21,775
He has young children
he cooks for all the time
212
00:11:21,800 --> 00:11:23,455
and one of his children has
diabetes,
213
00:11:23,480 --> 00:11:26,295
so he's on a mission to do
everything sugar-free.
214
00:11:26,320 --> 00:11:29,375
I'm doing a pud. I thought I was
going to have Gregg on my side,
215
00:11:29,400 --> 00:11:31,135
but obviously not today.
216
00:11:32,360 --> 00:11:35,735
He's making for us
custard tart with lemon curd.
217
00:11:35,760 --> 00:11:38,135
Custard tart - lovely, creamy
filling,
218
00:11:38,160 --> 00:11:41,015
usually with a pastry made from
plain flour and butter,
219
00:11:41,040 --> 00:11:43,895
but he's using almonds instead.
220
00:11:43,920 --> 00:11:46,095
Served with that, three
different types of rhubarb.
221
00:11:46,120 --> 00:11:48,895
John, you're cooking rhubarb without
sugar. Rhubarb without sugar.
222
00:11:48,920 --> 00:11:51,015
That's tricky.
Yeah, it's very zingy.
223
00:11:51,040 --> 00:11:52,855
What are you using instead of sugar?
224
00:11:52,880 --> 00:11:56,975
Artificial sweetener taken
from a kabocha pumpkin,
225
00:11:57,000 --> 00:11:58,375
a Japanese pumpkin.
226
00:11:59,640 --> 00:12:03,175
We've got this little pickle, which
has got bits of rhubarb, star anise
227
00:12:03,200 --> 00:12:05,495
and cinnamon - that's
going to be sharp but sweet -
228
00:12:05,520 --> 00:12:07,055
rhubarb stewed with orange,
229
00:12:07,080 --> 00:12:09,375
which is going to be citric
and quite sharp,
230
00:12:09,400 --> 00:12:11,655
and then we've got rhubarb
which has got beetroot juice
231
00:12:11,680 --> 00:12:14,175
on the outside.
I hope it's not all too sharp.
232
00:12:15,400 --> 00:12:18,175
And so where do you visualise
this dish belonging to?
233
00:12:18,200 --> 00:12:20,695
where is the dream?
well, I'd like to write a cookbook
234
00:12:20,720 --> 00:12:23,935
that everyone can get these recipes
from, give them some ideas on where
235
00:12:23,960 --> 00:12:26,855
they can go with the sugar-free
stuff, and maybe if I can get one of
236
00:12:26,880 --> 00:12:29,095
these on a shelf in a supermarket,
that'd be nice as well.
237
00:12:29,120 --> 00:12:31,215
Have you've got a name for it,
like Sweetie John's?
238
00:12:31,240 --> 00:12:33,055
My real name's John but
my nickname's Ronnie,
239
00:12:33,080 --> 00:12:35,495
so it's Ronnie's Refreshingly
Unrefined.
240
00:12:35,520 --> 00:12:39,095
It's quite a tongue-twister. Yeah.
Thanks. Good luck. Thanks very much.
241
00:12:41,320 --> 00:12:44,135
I think I need to show the judges
a little bit of refinement
242
00:12:44,160 --> 00:12:46,375
on this one. You know, I'm not
cooking for children here.
243
00:12:46,400 --> 00:12:49,455
So hopefully, you know, I've brought
enough finesse and enough delicacy
244
00:12:49,480 --> 00:12:52,215
that it looks like
a picture-perfect plate.
245
00:12:53,360 --> 00:12:56,375
You've got just seven minutes
left, everyone, seven minutes.
246
00:12:56,400 --> 00:12:57,895
Right.
247
00:13:00,520 --> 00:13:02,215
Nearly there.
248
00:13:07,040 --> 00:13:08,255
Whew!
249
00:13:08,280 --> 00:13:09,575
Feisty one, that one.
250
00:13:15,200 --> 00:13:18,495
Final touches. You've only got
a matter of minutes left.
251
00:13:31,400 --> 00:13:34,815
That's it, ladies and gentlemen.
All done.
252
00:13:44,760 --> 00:13:46,775
Nickolas, come and join us.
253
00:13:50,080 --> 00:13:55,055
First up is delivery driver Nickolas,
who has cooked fillet of beef
254
00:13:55,080 --> 00:13:58,335
with a Mexican poblano chilli
sweetcorn veloute,
255
00:13:58,360 --> 00:14:01,335
Peruvian huacatay herb oil,
256
00:14:01,360 --> 00:14:05,975
seared king oyster mushroom,
chimichurri sauce
257
00:14:06,000 --> 00:14:08,855
and a porcini mushroom tuile.
258
00:14:08,880 --> 00:14:10,695
The dish looks beautiful.
259
00:14:10,720 --> 00:14:13,135
Everything you promised,
I can see it on the plate.
260
00:14:18,800 --> 00:14:21,495
Nickolas, your veloute
is lovely and smooth.
261
00:14:21,520 --> 00:14:24,935
It's subtle with corn.
Your oil around the outside,
262
00:14:24,960 --> 00:14:26,735
this herb from Latin America,
263
00:14:26,760 --> 00:14:29,735
it's almost sort
of like a tarragon, mint flavour.
264
00:14:29,760 --> 00:14:31,215
I think that's really good.
265
00:14:31,240 --> 00:14:33,535
The beef is perfectly cooked.
266
00:14:33,560 --> 00:14:35,775
The chimichurri kind of wakes
you up.
267
00:14:35,800 --> 00:14:38,135
You've got the sweetness
of your sweetcorn
268
00:14:38,160 --> 00:14:40,815
and then this little "hello"
at the end.
269
00:14:40,840 --> 00:14:42,655
It's really, really nice.
270
00:14:44,440 --> 00:14:49,055
I'm an amateur cook but I just feel
like I'm ready for new horizons.
271
00:14:49,080 --> 00:14:51,055
I can see my restaurant,
like, already,
272
00:14:51,080 --> 00:14:52,415
like, I can visualise it.
273
00:14:52,440 --> 00:14:55,135
I'm buzzing. I am buzzing.
274
00:14:55,160 --> 00:14:59,455
Graphic designer Miles has
pan-roasted grouse breast
275
00:14:59,480 --> 00:15:02,495
and deep-fried grouse leg
in batter,
276
00:15:02,520 --> 00:15:07,015
served with roasted salsify coated
in seaweed powder,
277
00:15:07,040 --> 00:15:11,215
a redcurrant caviar and girolle
mushrooms,
278
00:15:11,240 --> 00:15:14,415
with shaved walnuts
and a red wine sauce.
279
00:15:21,040 --> 00:15:24,055
My breast of grouse is cooked
really nicely.
280
00:15:24,080 --> 00:15:27,175
The batter on the outside
of your actual grouse leg,
281
00:15:27,200 --> 00:15:28,775
I'm finding really thick.
282
00:15:28,800 --> 00:15:32,495
The leg itself, because the grouse
leg is so tough as a piece,
283
00:15:32,520 --> 00:15:34,815
frying it in the way you would
fry a bit of chicken,
284
00:15:34,840 --> 00:15:37,655
it's slightly dry
and I'm challenged by it.
285
00:15:39,080 --> 00:15:41,535
The seaweed on the salsify,
it's a beautiful flavour.
286
00:15:41,560 --> 00:15:42,855
It goes really well together.
287
00:15:42,880 --> 00:15:45,295
The redcurrant caviar,
it's really lovely.
288
00:15:45,320 --> 00:15:47,615
But you do fall short on your sauce.
289
00:15:47,640 --> 00:15:50,855
It doesn't have great flavour.
It just doesn't add to the dish.
290
00:15:52,960 --> 00:15:56,255
Yeah, there's a couple of errors
in there. But overall I'm happy.
291
00:15:56,280 --> 00:15:59,895
I don't think I would be upset
with what I've put out there.
292
00:15:59,920 --> 00:16:01,335
I just wish it was perfect.
293
00:16:02,600 --> 00:16:06,215
Anti-piracy manager Vanessa has
cooked her take on
294
00:16:06,240 --> 00:16:10,855
butter chicken - chicken breast
pan-fried in ghee,
295
00:16:10,880 --> 00:16:13,455
served on a butter chicken sauce
296
00:16:13,480 --> 00:16:16,455
with a hazelnut and sesame chaat
crumble,
297
00:16:16,480 --> 00:16:19,495
pilau rice and a chayote salad.
298
00:16:26,920 --> 00:16:29,455
You said you were going
to deconstruct butter chicken.
299
00:16:29,480 --> 00:16:31,895
You haven't done that at all.
What you've done is you've taken
300
00:16:31,920 --> 00:16:34,695
the elements of butter chicken, and
then you've completely modernised it
301
00:16:34,720 --> 00:16:36,335
so it's something completely
different.
302
00:16:36,360 --> 00:16:38,815
I think your sauce is great -
well-rounded, really lovely
303
00:16:38,840 --> 00:16:41,815
and vibrant. The nuts, I quite like
them because actually
304
00:16:41,840 --> 00:16:43,655
it's giving me seasoning.
305
00:16:43,680 --> 00:16:45,935
The chicken is perfectly cooked.
306
00:16:45,960 --> 00:16:48,415
The salad has lots of acidity
through it.
307
00:16:48,440 --> 00:16:51,775
And it's very interesting when
I have the salad and your butter
308
00:16:51,800 --> 00:16:54,415
chicken sauce together,
I think that's really lovely.
309
00:16:54,440 --> 00:16:55,455
Thank you.
310
00:16:57,360 --> 00:16:59,815
I could not have had better
feedback.
311
00:17:00,920 --> 00:17:02,135
WHISPERING: Well done.
312
00:17:02,160 --> 00:17:03,975
So I am so happy,
313
00:17:04,000 --> 00:17:06,615
like on cloud nine. Super happy.
314
00:17:09,080 --> 00:17:13,415
Children's rights officer Robin
has cooked fillet steak,
315
00:17:13,440 --> 00:17:17,695
topped with pickled beetroot
and horseradish sauce,
316
00:17:17,720 --> 00:17:22,495
served with a rarebit pie,
parsley puree,
317
00:17:22,520 --> 00:17:25,095
and a stout and chocolate
beef sauce.
318
00:17:34,000 --> 00:17:36,055
My piece of steak is cooked
absolutely beautifully.
319
00:17:36,080 --> 00:17:38,095
I love the pickled beetroot
across the top of it
320
00:17:38,120 --> 00:17:40,295
cos the horseradish with
the beetroot and the beef -
321
00:17:40,320 --> 00:17:43,215
marriage made in heaven.
The parsley puree,
322
00:17:43,240 --> 00:17:47,135
I expected it to be really finely
pureed, but I like the texture
323
00:17:47,160 --> 00:17:49,615
of the puree. I think it's really,
really lovely.
324
00:17:49,640 --> 00:17:52,935
The pie, for me, I love the idea
of Welsh rarebit.
325
00:17:52,960 --> 00:17:58,095
I'm not getting that real reduced
stout and cheese umami flavour
326
00:17:58,120 --> 00:18:00,135
you get from a Welsh rarebit.
327
00:18:00,160 --> 00:18:02,335
But your sauce - it's delicious.
328
00:18:04,320 --> 00:18:07,455
There was a few things I could
have done better, and I was worried
329
00:18:07,480 --> 00:18:10,095
about the sauce. But they liked
that, so that's good.
330
00:18:11,760 --> 00:18:15,735
Gift shop owner Endang
has cooked a beef fillet,
331
00:18:15,760 --> 00:18:18,655
served with cumin steamed rice,
332
00:18:18,680 --> 00:18:21,415
braised spiced soybean tempeh,
333
00:18:21,440 --> 00:18:23,375
a sambal sauce,
334
00:18:23,400 --> 00:18:25,775
a Parmesan and chilli tuile,
335
00:18:25,800 --> 00:18:27,495
mung bean sprouts,
336
00:18:27,520 --> 00:18:31,015
and an Indonesian rawon
soup based sauce.
337
00:18:37,560 --> 00:18:40,375
The rawon sauce is so beautiful.
338
00:18:40,400 --> 00:18:44,295
Thank you. You've got this fermented
mushroomy flavour,
339
00:18:44,320 --> 00:18:47,935
but then with this aromatic perfumes
from your lemongrass
340
00:18:47,960 --> 00:18:51,055
and your galangal coming through,
it is beautiful.
341
00:18:51,080 --> 00:18:52,895
Like, I could eat that all day long.
342
00:18:54,160 --> 00:18:55,695
Your beef was cooked beautifully.
343
00:18:55,720 --> 00:18:59,095
Your sambal is sort of rich
and sweet with tomato,
344
00:18:59,120 --> 00:19:00,935
but really lovely hot,
345
00:19:00,960 --> 00:19:02,895
like right in the back of my
throat hot.
346
00:19:02,920 --> 00:19:04,935
And then all the other bits
around the outside
347
00:19:04,960 --> 00:19:07,415
just take it to the next level.
Thank you.
348
00:19:10,440 --> 00:19:15,775
I elevate Indonesian dish today to
make it MasterChef standard.
349
00:19:15,800 --> 00:19:17,895
I think I'm doing a good job today.
350
00:19:19,880 --> 00:19:25,255
Medical secretary Linda has made
an orange blossom Bakewell tart
351
00:19:25,280 --> 00:19:27,975
and Moroccan almond briouats,
352
00:19:28,000 --> 00:19:31,735
deep-fried pastry parcels filled
with nuts, cinnamon
353
00:19:31,760 --> 00:19:35,655
and orange blossom, served with
Turkish delight ice cream.
354
00:19:42,520 --> 00:19:45,655
The Bakewell tart - the pastry is
lovely and thin.
355
00:19:45,680 --> 00:19:47,695
There's a great flavour
from the jam.
356
00:19:47,720 --> 00:19:51,615
Your frangipane on top is lovely
and moist, but I'm not getting
357
00:19:51,640 --> 00:19:53,855
any flavour of orange blossom.
358
00:19:53,880 --> 00:19:55,175
Those little nut parcels,
359
00:19:55,200 --> 00:19:58,615
sesame seeds around the outside,
taste great. But they are dry.
360
00:19:58,640 --> 00:20:01,495
Your Turkish delight ice cream,
which is creamy and smooth,
361
00:20:01,520 --> 00:20:04,095
and little tiny gems of Turkish
delight,
362
00:20:04,120 --> 00:20:07,215
I think you'd inspire ice
cream shops around the world
363
00:20:07,240 --> 00:20:08,575
because that's fabulous.
364
00:20:10,560 --> 00:20:12,895
I'm feeling good.
Whether it's enough to get
365
00:20:12,920 --> 00:20:15,295
through, I don't know.
But I'm feeling good.
366
00:20:16,800 --> 00:20:21,575
Painter and decorator John has made
a sugar-free almond nut pastry
367
00:20:21,600 --> 00:20:23,295
custard tart,
368
00:20:23,320 --> 00:20:27,895
with a lemon curd,
served with rhubarb three ways,
369
00:20:27,920 --> 00:20:32,375
roasted beetroot rhubarb,
pickled rhubarb jewels,
370
00:20:32,400 --> 00:20:35,375
and an orange rhubarb jam.
371
00:20:35,400 --> 00:20:37,175
There's not a lot of rhubarb
on here, is there?
372
00:20:37,200 --> 00:20:38,735
Usually I would have put
a bit more on,
373
00:20:38,760 --> 00:20:40,535
but I was trying to make
it look nice.
374
00:20:47,280 --> 00:20:49,575
John, that custard tart's
fantastic.
375
00:20:49,600 --> 00:20:52,695
Your mixture is so beautifully made.
I really like that.
376
00:20:52,720 --> 00:20:55,495
I like your lemon curd,
but it's very, very sharp
377
00:20:55,520 --> 00:20:58,655
and I don't think the lemon
curd goes with the custard.
378
00:20:58,680 --> 00:21:01,815
The rhubarb jewels were the one
element that I was quite worried
379
00:21:01,840 --> 00:21:03,895
about cos I didn't think
they would really work.
380
00:21:03,920 --> 00:21:07,175
But actually they're delicious.
Although you only gave me two.
381
00:21:07,200 --> 00:21:09,895
But the orange jam is too sharp.
382
00:21:09,920 --> 00:21:12,895
The lemon curd is also quite
sharp,
383
00:21:12,920 --> 00:21:16,415
so I'm not sure that it's
a well-rounded dish.
384
00:21:18,920 --> 00:21:21,575
I tried to think outside the box.
You know, it was supposed to be for
385
00:21:21,600 --> 00:21:24,495
a restaurant dish, so I thought
I was trying to up my game,
386
00:21:24,520 --> 00:21:26,655
but obviously I've gone
a bit too far.
387
00:21:32,520 --> 00:21:33,775
What do you think?
388
00:21:33,800 --> 00:21:38,095
I mean, the standard of the cooks
today was fantastic.
389
00:21:38,120 --> 00:21:40,175
I could really get the passion
of them.
390
00:21:40,200 --> 00:21:43,455
In fact, the atmosphere in
the kitchen today was glorious.
391
00:21:43,480 --> 00:21:44,895
It's a tough decision.
392
00:21:44,920 --> 00:21:47,215
Two of them are going to leave
the competition.
393
00:21:48,800 --> 00:21:50,375
Let's start with Endang.
394
00:21:50,400 --> 00:21:52,815
That sauce was just remarkable.
395
00:21:52,840 --> 00:21:54,255
Beef was cooked beautifully.
396
00:21:54,280 --> 00:21:57,455
The chilli spice coming from the
sambal. It was a great dish.
397
00:21:57,480 --> 00:21:59,535
Who else impressed you? Nickolas.
398
00:21:59,560 --> 00:22:01,295
The beef was perfectly cooked.
399
00:22:01,320 --> 00:22:04,935
The sweetcorn veloute was silky
smooth with a lovely little kick
400
00:22:04,960 --> 00:22:06,175
of chilli at the end.
401
00:22:06,200 --> 00:22:08,375
I think it looked cool.
I think it tasted great.
402
00:22:08,400 --> 00:22:10,615
It was a great dish. Who else?
403
00:22:10,640 --> 00:22:13,895
I really enjoyed Vanessa's
take on butter chicken.
404
00:22:13,920 --> 00:22:17,535
The actual butter chicken
sauce had so much flavour.
405
00:22:17,560 --> 00:22:19,815
Salad was really vibrant
and delicious, and the little nut
406
00:22:19,840 --> 00:22:22,535
seasoning around the outside.
You and I were really impressed.
407
00:22:22,560 --> 00:22:27,255
So now we've got Nickolas,
Endang and Vanessa going through.
408
00:22:27,280 --> 00:22:29,495
Two more places
left in the competition.
409
00:22:29,520 --> 00:22:34,375
Linda, Miles, Robin and John -
410
00:22:34,400 --> 00:22:37,175
two of those stay with us
and two of them go home.
411
00:22:38,960 --> 00:22:42,615
Linda made for us a Bakewell tart -
lovely pastry
412
00:22:42,640 --> 00:22:46,095
around the outside and little tiny
triangles of pastry filled
413
00:22:46,120 --> 00:22:47,495
with nuts, which was sweet.
414
00:22:47,520 --> 00:22:50,175
I would have liked a bit more orange
blossom water in the dish.
415
00:22:50,200 --> 00:22:52,135
At the same time that Turkish
delight ice cream
416
00:22:52,160 --> 00:22:54,895
was just delicious. Yeah.
417
00:22:54,920 --> 00:22:57,415
Miles, I liked the breast of grouse.
418
00:22:57,440 --> 00:22:59,055
It was cooked really, really nicely.
419
00:22:59,080 --> 00:23:01,695
But the actual leg itself,
it didn't work.
420
00:23:01,720 --> 00:23:04,135
The sauce wasn't a really
good sauce.
421
00:23:04,160 --> 00:23:05,775
Yeah, I agree with you.
422
00:23:05,800 --> 00:23:08,735
I think the dish was a good dish.
It just needs a bit of work.
423
00:23:08,760 --> 00:23:12,215
Robin, the horseradish, beetroot,
parsley piece of beef - great.
424
00:23:12,240 --> 00:23:16,535
He really motored very, very hard,
but the pie wasn't quite right.
425
00:23:16,560 --> 00:23:20,095
John made for us a custard tart and
then rhubarb three different ways
426
00:23:20,120 --> 00:23:21,975
alongside a lemon curd.
427
00:23:22,000 --> 00:23:24,095
He absolutely nailed
the custard tart.
428
00:23:24,120 --> 00:23:27,055
But for me, lemon curd, which is
going to be sharp,
429
00:23:27,080 --> 00:23:30,175
orange jam, which is sharp, rhubarb,
which is going to be sharp,
430
00:23:30,200 --> 00:23:32,015
they really jarred with each other.
431
00:23:33,720 --> 00:23:36,335
I mean, fingers crossed
I can just about scrape through.
432
00:23:36,360 --> 00:23:39,215
I've thought it before and I managed
to stay, so who knows?
433
00:23:40,560 --> 00:23:43,175
I don't know if I've done
enough to go through.
434
00:23:43,200 --> 00:23:46,655
It just wasn't as good as I wanted
it to be.
435
00:23:46,680 --> 00:23:51,055
I'm happy with the dish I put
forward, but it's just like,
436
00:23:51,080 --> 00:23:52,855
"Is it enough?”
437
00:23:52,880 --> 00:23:57,575
I would be gutted if I go home today
because I can see how much
438
00:23:57,600 --> 00:24:00,255
more opportunity there is to keep
on building and growing.
439
00:24:00,280 --> 00:24:02,015
I hope that they see the potential.
440
00:24:11,000 --> 00:24:13,895
What can I say but "wow"?
441
00:24:13,920 --> 00:24:17,335
The seven of you cooked
your socks off.
442
00:24:17,360 --> 00:24:20,735
Good food needs passion and graft
443
00:24:20,760 --> 00:24:22,455
and all of you brought it today.
444
00:24:24,400 --> 00:24:29,615
There are three people that we
believe did outstanding work.
445
00:24:30,880 --> 00:24:32,295
Endang.
446
00:24:33,320 --> 00:24:34,415
Nickolas.
447
00:24:35,680 --> 00:24:36,735
Vanessa.
448
00:24:37,880 --> 00:24:40,695
Congratulations, you're staying
with us. Yes! Come on!
449
00:24:40,720 --> 00:24:41,935
Yes!
450
00:24:46,320 --> 00:24:48,335
Thank you.
451
00:24:48,360 --> 00:24:52,735
Linda, Robin, Miles and John...
452
00:24:53,800 --> 00:24:55,375
...two of you will be leaving us.
453
00:24:56,600 --> 00:24:58,175
The first person leaving us...
454
00:25:04,920 --> 00:25:06,015
...is Miles.
455
00:25:07,560 --> 00:25:09,615
Miles, thank you very much indeed.
456
00:25:09,640 --> 00:25:10,935
Thanks. Take care.
457
00:25:16,400 --> 00:25:18,015
The second person leaving us...
458
00:25:23,760 --> 00:25:25,455
...is John.
459
00:25:25,480 --> 00:25:27,015
John, thank you very much.
460
00:25:27,040 --> 00:25:28,575
Great competition. Cheers.
461
00:25:37,240 --> 00:25:41,495
I'm a bit deflated that it's over.
It's like a big bubble being popped.
462
00:25:41,520 --> 00:25:44,335
But, you know, I got to showcase
plenty of my sugar-free desserts,
463
00:25:44,360 --> 00:25:46,535
which is like gold dust to me.
464
00:25:46,560 --> 00:25:48,655
I'm pretty proud of myself
and I know the kids will be,
465
00:25:48,680 --> 00:25:49,935
so that's the main thing.
466
00:25:51,960 --> 00:25:55,095
I thought I might claw it through
today. I didn't think I'd go.
467
00:25:55,120 --> 00:25:56,895
Gutted.
468
00:25:56,920 --> 00:26:00,175
But, you know, I said I would come
here and I would push the boat out.
469
00:26:00,200 --> 00:26:02,775
You know, I'd try things I'd never
tried before, and I did.
470
00:26:02,800 --> 00:26:05,215
So I'm quite proud of that.
471
00:26:05,240 --> 00:26:07,415
It's just the end of the road.
That's it.
472
00:26:11,360 --> 00:26:14,095
Congratulations, all five of you.
What a brilliant achievement.
473
00:26:14,120 --> 00:26:17,055
Next up, you're going to get
your first taste
474
00:26:17,080 --> 00:26:19,055
of a professional kitchen.
475
00:26:19,080 --> 00:26:21,255
I suggest you get lots of sleep.
476
00:26:21,280 --> 00:26:22,575
You're going to need it.
477
00:26:22,600 --> 00:26:24,495
Yes! Oh, my Lord.
478
00:26:24,520 --> 00:26:26,175
This is what I'm here for!
479
00:26:26,200 --> 00:26:28,735
I know! I've been waiting for this
one. It's so cool.
480
00:26:37,760 --> 00:26:42,535
It's early morning and the five
remaining contestants
481
00:26:42,560 --> 00:26:45,655
are about to face the intense
pressure of their first
482
00:26:45,680 --> 00:26:48,655
professional restaurant service
483
00:26:48,680 --> 00:26:54,015
at Decimo at The Standard hotel
in London's Kings Cross.
484
00:26:54,040 --> 00:26:56,535
I mean, chef whites. I feel
really good.
485
00:26:56,560 --> 00:26:58,215
I feel, like, professional.
486
00:26:58,240 --> 00:27:00,695
Whether or not I can be,
I don't know.
487
00:27:00,720 --> 00:27:03,855
I'm ready to go into that kitchen
and just really see what it's about.
488
00:27:03,880 --> 00:27:05,655
Just want to take the bull
by the horns.
489
00:27:05,680 --> 00:27:07,655
I'm going to work in
the professional
490
00:27:07,680 --> 00:27:09,535
restaurant in London.
491
00:27:10,600 --> 00:27:11,735
Oh, God!
492
00:27:11,760 --> 00:27:15,975
In charge is 37-year-old
executive chef
493
00:27:16,000 --> 00:27:18,175
Peter Sanchez-Iglesias.
494
00:27:18,200 --> 00:27:19,895
My father's from Seville,
495
00:27:19,920 --> 00:27:21,335
so south of Spain.
496
00:27:21,360 --> 00:27:23,135
And my mum is from Bristol,
497
00:27:23,160 --> 00:27:26,535
so hence the Bristol accent.
498
00:27:26,560 --> 00:27:30,215
Peter learned his craft
from an early age in the kitchen
499
00:27:30,240 --> 00:27:33,895
of his parents' restaurant
in his mother's hometown.
500
00:27:33,920 --> 00:27:37,255
Bit by bit, I got given
the opportunity to be
501
00:27:37,280 --> 00:27:40,935
a commie chef, a chef de partie,
and then moving up to sous-chef.
502
00:27:40,960 --> 00:27:44,415
I think I was like 17 when
I actually started to kind of
503
00:27:44,440 --> 00:27:46,255
take over the kitchen.
504
00:27:46,280 --> 00:27:50,735
Within five years Peter had won
the restaurant a Michelin star,
505
00:27:50,760 --> 00:27:55,375
becoming one of the youngest holders
of the award in Europe.
506
00:27:55,400 --> 00:27:58,935
It's the first time where it
really then made me feel, you know,
507
00:27:58,960 --> 00:28:00,895
"You could do this, man,
you could really create
508
00:28:00,920 --> 00:28:05,055
"a great restaurant and keep pushing
it forward and don't hold back."
509
00:28:05,080 --> 00:28:09,975
In 2019, he opened his first London
restaurant Decimo,
510
00:28:10,000 --> 00:28:14,135
serving Spanish dishes
with Mexican influences.
511
00:28:14,160 --> 00:28:17,695
I've spent a bit of time in Mexico,
never really knew what to do
512
00:28:17,720 --> 00:28:20,215
with the things that I learnt
and the flavours I tasted.
513
00:28:20,240 --> 00:28:23,215
So when I had this opportunity
I was like, "Perfect.”
514
00:28:23,240 --> 00:28:26,175
Central to the restaurant
is the open kitchen
515
00:28:26,200 --> 00:28:28,375
with live fire cooking.
516
00:28:28,400 --> 00:28:31,695
You cook meat on it,
you cook fish, simple ingredients,
517
00:28:31,720 --> 00:28:33,855
they just become better in flavour.
518
00:28:33,880 --> 00:28:36,415
Those notes of smokiness and wood.
519
00:28:36,440 --> 00:28:40,215
But the heat what comes from that
grill is pretty immense.
520
00:28:40,240 --> 00:28:42,895
Having amateur cooks come
into the kitchen,
521
00:28:42,920 --> 00:28:44,855
it'd be interesting to see
how they get on.
522
00:28:48,240 --> 00:28:51,895
Good morning. Today you're going to
be cooking quite a few of the dishes
523
00:28:51,920 --> 00:28:55,495
on our menu. Quite simple, but
there"s lots of technical bits
524
00:28:55,520 --> 00:28:57,575
what are going to be quite
difficult for you all.
525
00:28:57,600 --> 00:29:01,535
But at the same time, you know,
with a bit of hard work, dedication,
526
00:29:01,560 --> 00:29:04,535
hopefully we'll have a good time.
So follow me into the kitchen.
527
00:29:07,280 --> 00:29:10,175
The contestants have three
and a half hours to prepare
528
00:29:10,200 --> 00:29:13,655
their dishes for today's
five course tasting menu.
529
00:29:14,800 --> 00:29:19,855
Vanessa has been tasked with cooking
a dish simply titled "pork taco".
530
00:29:19,880 --> 00:29:23,055
Even though the name of the dish is
quite short, there's actually quite
531
00:29:23,080 --> 00:29:26,775
a lot of elements into it.
So we have a pressed belly of pork.
532
00:29:26,800 --> 00:29:29,935
This has basically been cured
for about 48 hours
533
00:29:29,960 --> 00:29:33,815
and then it's cooked again
for another 24 hours.
534
00:29:33,840 --> 00:29:35,855
So we're going to pop that onto
the grill.
535
00:29:37,560 --> 00:29:40,695
The pork itself, it's just making
sure that you put a bit of love
536
00:29:40,720 --> 00:29:43,455
when you're caramelising it and not
drying the meat,
537
00:29:43,480 --> 00:29:46,375
cos you don't want to render
too much fat away.
538
00:29:46,400 --> 00:29:50,175
As well as cooking the pork to
perfection, Vanessa has to juggle
539
00:29:50,200 --> 00:29:54,335
deep-frying a pork belly skin that's
been cured for six hours.
540
00:29:54,360 --> 00:29:57,255
Once you see it start to pop
a little bit...
541
00:29:57,280 --> 00:30:00,095
Yeah. ..that's it, you want to grab
it out. Take it out.
542
00:30:00,120 --> 00:30:02,975
Just the most crispiest thing ever.
543
00:30:03,000 --> 00:30:07,295
Vanessa must then assemble all seven
elements of the taco -
544
00:30:07,320 --> 00:30:10,615
refried black beans on a corn
tortilla...
545
00:30:10,640 --> 00:30:13,135
The lovely crispy belly of pork.
546
00:30:13,160 --> 00:30:18,455
The pork is then topped with a spicy
al pastor sauce, Mexican salsa
547
00:30:18,480 --> 00:30:20,615
and a Spanish aioli.
548
00:30:20,640 --> 00:30:24,855
And then pieces of the chicharron.
549
00:30:24,880 --> 00:30:27,055
Amazing. I'm excited to get
stuck in.
550
00:30:29,520 --> 00:30:31,015
I mean, there's a lot going on.
551
00:30:31,040 --> 00:30:33,175
There's a lot of different elements.
552
00:30:33,200 --> 00:30:37,295
I'm terrified of ruining three days
worth of work on that pork,
553
00:30:37,320 --> 00:30:40,615
but I think with, like,
my methodical nature,
554
00:30:40,640 --> 00:30:42,655
I could do well once
I'm in the swing of it.
555
00:30:44,640 --> 00:30:49,375
Vanessa's first task is to prepare
her ingredients for the salsa.
556
00:30:49,400 --> 00:30:52,175
I mean, this is what
I've got to aim for.
557
00:30:52,200 --> 00:30:56,575
Precision cutting
at very minuscule levels
558
00:30:56,600 --> 00:31:00,695
of jalapeno, onion, tomatillos.
559
00:31:00,720 --> 00:31:02,495
Yeah, basically perfection.
560
00:31:05,280 --> 00:31:09,295
Linda will be responsible for pork
ribs in a mole glaze,
561
00:31:09,320 --> 00:31:11,815
a traditional Mexican chilli sauce,
562
00:31:11,840 --> 00:31:15,175
served with artichokes
and pardina lentils.
563
00:31:15,200 --> 00:31:18,495
Her greatest challenge
will be to cook both components
564
00:31:18,520 --> 00:31:21,895
over the 300 degree wood-fired
grill.
565
00:31:21,920 --> 00:31:23,655
Don't be scared of it. OK.
566
00:31:23,680 --> 00:31:26,895
It's a hot environment to work with,
but at the same time,
567
00:31:26,920 --> 00:31:29,615
the processes of these are
quite simple.
568
00:31:30,880 --> 00:31:33,895
The pork ribs have been cured for
48 hours
569
00:31:33,920 --> 00:31:36,215
and slow-cooked for 12 hours
570
00:31:36,240 --> 00:31:38,815
and will be finished off
on the fire.
571
00:31:38,840 --> 00:31:43,175
The idea with this is we want
the flame just licking it.
572
00:31:43,200 --> 00:31:45,695
When you're caramelising
it over the grill, make sure
573
00:31:45,720 --> 00:31:48,935
you don't burn it too much. You just
want it to be nice and golden.
574
00:31:48,960 --> 00:31:50,895
This is now what's going
to give you a flavour
575
00:31:50,920 --> 00:31:52,335
and going to give you the colour.
576
00:31:52,360 --> 00:31:56,215
The lentil dish can be easily,
easily overcooked on the fire.
577
00:31:56,240 --> 00:31:57,975
They have to go really gentle.
578
00:31:58,000 --> 00:32:01,015
I'm worried that I will burn some
stuff. For me,
579
00:32:01,040 --> 00:32:03,735
you already saying you're conscious
about burning it... Yeah.
580
00:32:03,760 --> 00:32:06,775
...shows me that you're going to take
care with it. Yeah.
581
00:32:06,800 --> 00:32:08,775
So that now is cooked.
582
00:32:08,800 --> 00:32:11,695
Then we just glaze it
with the mole sauce.
583
00:32:11,720 --> 00:32:15,495
This is to essentially create
real sticky barbecue ribs.
584
00:32:15,520 --> 00:32:18,455
We've got the lentils now,
artichokes on top.
585
00:32:18,480 --> 00:32:19,815
So here you have it.
586
00:32:19,840 --> 00:32:23,015
The mole glazed ribs with
the lentils and the artichoke.
587
00:32:23,040 --> 00:32:24,735
How do you feel about that?
588
00:32:24,760 --> 00:32:26,415
OK.
589
00:32:26,440 --> 00:32:29,655
I mean, if it was just one and then
you can take it and plate it,
590
00:32:29,680 --> 00:32:31,935
but if you've got about three
on the go when you're running
591
00:32:31,960 --> 00:32:35,975
backwards and forwards, I'm slightly
a bit stressed about that.
592
00:32:36,000 --> 00:32:37,655
It's hot on here as well.
593
00:32:37,680 --> 00:32:39,495
I'll be having me hot flushes.
594
00:32:40,960 --> 00:32:44,575
Linda gets straight to work
preparing the artichokes.
595
00:32:44,600 --> 00:32:47,055
You have to pull up all the leaves
off the bottom,
596
00:32:47,080 --> 00:32:49,135
then you have to pull the petals
off until you get
597
00:32:49,160 --> 00:32:51,015
to the lighter colour.
598
00:32:51,040 --> 00:32:54,815
And then cut it, like just
over halfway.
599
00:32:54,840 --> 00:32:57,415
They are a lot of work for one
little thing, yeah!
600
00:32:58,840 --> 00:33:03,615
Cooking directly in the fire, Robin
will be charring and steaming leeks
601
00:33:03,640 --> 00:33:07,735
in foil to serve alongside a dish
of red mullet fillets
602
00:33:07,760 --> 00:33:11,335
with chickpeas and a Spanish
romesco sauce.
603
00:33:11,360 --> 00:33:13,815
Cos the embers are so hot, it's
going to start blackening
604
00:33:13,840 --> 00:33:16,335
the outside and this is
going to create like a smoky
605
00:33:16,360 --> 00:33:18,135
characteristic inside it.
606
00:33:18,160 --> 00:33:20,775
So basically into the foil,
wrap it up.
607
00:33:22,440 --> 00:33:24,175
Put it back in.
608
00:33:24,200 --> 00:33:25,655
Keeping one eye on the leeks,
609
00:33:25,680 --> 00:33:27,935
Robin will also need to prep
his dish's
610
00:33:27,960 --> 00:33:30,575
main component - red mullet fillets.
611
00:33:30,600 --> 00:33:32,575
Give it a light little blowtorching
612
00:33:32,600 --> 00:33:34,295
cos that would happen
under the grill.
613
00:33:34,320 --> 00:33:36,415
But what it's going to do
now is start to relax.
614
00:33:36,440 --> 00:33:39,215
The fish will be cooked
under a salamander on top
615
00:33:39,240 --> 00:33:41,855
of chickpeas in prawn sauce.
616
00:33:41,880 --> 00:33:44,215
When they're cooking the fish
under the grill, it's essential
617
00:33:44,240 --> 00:33:47,495
that they just get that little
whisper of colour onto it as well.
618
00:33:47,520 --> 00:33:49,895
But then if you don't time
it correctly,
619
00:33:49,920 --> 00:33:51,735
you can easily, easily overcook it.
620
00:33:52,960 --> 00:33:54,335
So, right then.
621
00:33:54,360 --> 00:33:55,855
So that's the fish. OK?
622
00:33:55,880 --> 00:33:57,735
So real delicate cooking. Yeah.
623
00:33:59,600 --> 00:34:01,695
So if you feel that,
feel it's tender.
624
00:34:03,400 --> 00:34:06,895
Yeah. We're going to trim
from the root all the way there.
625
00:34:06,920 --> 00:34:08,735
So not cutting through it,
but just below it?
626
00:34:08,760 --> 00:34:10,455
And then we're dressing it
with olive oil...
627
00:34:11,600 --> 00:34:12,975
.salt...
628
00:34:13,000 --> 00:34:15,455
Yeah. ..and pepper.
629
00:34:15,480 --> 00:34:18,615
So here you have it.
Chickpea with the red mullet,
630
00:34:18,640 --> 00:34:20,455
with the leek and the romesco sauce.
631
00:34:21,680 --> 00:34:23,935
It's going to be a bit of a run
around, but I think
632
00:34:23,960 --> 00:34:26,375
you're confident.
I'm looking forward to it.
633
00:34:26,400 --> 00:34:29,135
I've never cooked much fish
before and I've never really done
634
00:34:29,160 --> 00:34:30,775
much Spanish or Mexican foods.
635
00:34:30,800 --> 00:34:33,695
But it all looks like it's got a lot
of heart and love in it,
636
00:34:33,720 --> 00:34:36,575
so I'm just looking forward to
cooking and I'm excited to use
637
00:34:36,600 --> 00:34:39,055
the fires, too. That's going to
be cool. Yeah.
638
00:34:40,120 --> 00:34:44,095
Robin's first task before service
is to fillet and pin bone
639
00:34:44,120 --> 00:34:45,655
the red mullet.
640
00:34:45,680 --> 00:34:47,895
The key thing for me in fish
641
00:34:47,920 --> 00:34:50,375
preparation is the filleting
of the fish.
642
00:34:50,400 --> 00:34:54,935
It's a skill a lot of amateur chefs
can easily, easily fail at.
643
00:34:54,960 --> 00:34:57,535
It's the first time I've ever
filleted a fish, and I'm doing
644
00:34:57,560 --> 00:35:00,375
it in a top London restaurant.
645
00:35:00,400 --> 00:35:03,175
Quite a lot of pressure, but
hopefully I'll get quicker
646
00:35:03,200 --> 00:35:06,055
with each one and I'll get
these out.
647
00:35:07,320 --> 00:35:08,855
Also sharing the grill,
648
00:35:08,880 --> 00:35:10,775
it's another first for Nickolas.
649
00:35:10,800 --> 00:35:14,935
I've never worked with a pigeon
before, so it's a new meat for me.
650
00:35:14,960 --> 00:35:18,255
The breasts are cooked as a crown,
so they need to go really,
651
00:35:18,280 --> 00:35:21,215
really delicate when they're cooking
it. Not overcook the bird.
652
00:35:21,240 --> 00:35:23,175
Nothing worse than dry pigeon.
653
00:35:23,200 --> 00:35:25,175
The legs need to be browned as well.
654
00:35:25,200 --> 00:35:28,455
Nickolas will also be using
the flames to heat through white
655
00:35:28,480 --> 00:35:32,335
beans and Spanish sausage
that the pigeon will be served on.
656
00:35:32,360 --> 00:35:35,055
And to finish, a carrot side.
657
00:35:35,080 --> 00:35:37,335
What we want to do is to add
a bit of charred-ness,
658
00:35:37,360 --> 00:35:41,335
so we are purposely blackening
it a little bit on the outside.
659
00:35:41,360 --> 00:35:44,015
So you're carving that in the middle
and then you just want to cut
660
00:35:44,040 --> 00:35:45,655
it into pieces, like so.
661
00:35:47,320 --> 00:35:49,895
Place your legs on top, the carrots.
662
00:35:49,920 --> 00:35:52,535
You dress over the top like this
and you finish
663
00:35:52,560 --> 00:35:54,175
with a little bit of orange zest.
664
00:35:55,680 --> 00:35:58,295
So there you have it.
The pigeon with the white beans
665
00:35:58,320 --> 00:36:01,095
and the morecilla,
and the carrots with orange.
666
00:36:01,120 --> 00:36:02,775
Looks amazing, Chef.
Can't wait to make it.
667
00:36:02,800 --> 00:36:05,135
Enjoy it, man. Have fun.
668
00:36:09,000 --> 00:36:11,215
Oh, man. Tasting it
669
00:36:11,240 --> 00:36:13,415
is making me feel a bit more
scared cos it's so delicious.
670
00:36:13,440 --> 00:36:16,655
So I need to make sure I've got it
to this standard.
671
00:36:16,680 --> 00:36:18,295
Mm.
672
00:36:18,320 --> 00:36:20,975
With 15 pigeons to butcher...
673
00:36:21,000 --> 00:36:23,735
A bit daunting, really,
the tray full of pigeons there.
674
00:36:24,920 --> 00:36:28,455
...Nickolas also has to take out
the wishbones to make the crown
675
00:36:28,480 --> 00:36:30,535
easier to carve.
676
00:36:30,560 --> 00:36:33,415
I've worked on lots of poultry, but
I've never took the wishbone out.
677
00:36:33,440 --> 00:36:36,255
I didn't even know that was a thing,
so I usually take it out
678
00:36:36,280 --> 00:36:38,415
while I'm eating it for good
luck, you know?
679
00:36:42,840 --> 00:36:45,415
Endang will be tasked with
the dessert -
680
00:36:45,440 --> 00:36:48,495
apples, burnt meringue
and vanilla crumb.
681
00:36:48,520 --> 00:36:51,295
I'm not looking forward to making
dessert because I'm not
682
00:36:51,320 --> 00:36:52,975
a dessert person.
683
00:36:53,000 --> 00:36:55,735
The dish centres around
compressed apples.
684
00:36:57,120 --> 00:37:00,935
We compress them in a stock
syrup made out of sugared water,
685
00:37:00,960 --> 00:37:03,215
and then we add arbol chilli to
it as well,
686
00:37:03,240 --> 00:37:05,095
so it's quite a hot chilli.
687
00:37:05,120 --> 00:37:06,575
OK? OK.
688
00:37:06,600 --> 00:37:10,055
They're topped with Italian
meringue and lime sorbet.
689
00:37:11,680 --> 00:37:14,815
Then we want to hit it with coal.
690
00:37:14,840 --> 00:37:16,615
It needs to be red hot, glowing. OK.
691
00:37:16,640 --> 00:37:19,135
If it's not hot enough, it will
stick to the meringue
692
00:37:19,160 --> 00:37:21,535
and then you would just end up with
a sticky mess.
693
00:37:23,400 --> 00:37:26,575
And as you can see,
it's starting to burn.
694
00:37:26,600 --> 00:37:28,735
It's trying to capture that smoky,
695
00:37:28,760 --> 00:37:31,815
almost barbecued marshmallow
kind of flavour.
696
00:37:31,840 --> 00:37:35,455
I'm going to finish it with apple
caramel and the crumb,
697
00:37:35,480 --> 00:37:37,775
it relates to people's heads
and nostalgically
698
00:37:37,800 --> 00:37:40,015
it's like apple crumble. OK.
There we go.
699
00:37:41,880 --> 00:37:43,335
How do you feel about it?
700
00:37:44,400 --> 00:37:47,455
Very nervous because of the details.
701
00:37:47,480 --> 00:37:49,895
Yeah, you've got it!
Come on, be positive.
702
00:37:49,920 --> 00:37:52,455
Yeah. I will do. I will do.
Let's go. I will do.
703
00:37:52,480 --> 00:37:56,215
Endang's main priority is to ensure
the sorbet is set
704
00:37:56,240 --> 00:37:58,215
in time for service.
705
00:37:58,240 --> 00:38:00,855
I measure the water just now.
706
00:38:00,880 --> 00:38:02,215
The lime sorbet,
707
00:38:02,240 --> 00:38:06,175
it's really important to make sure
that you capture the right acidity.
708
00:38:06,200 --> 00:38:07,815
And I need the lime.
709
00:38:07,840 --> 00:38:09,975
No matter how you work on a recipe,
710
00:38:10,000 --> 00:38:12,535
sometimes you need to do it by
taste, because from lime
711
00:38:12,560 --> 00:38:14,815
to lime, acidity levels can change.
712
00:38:14,840 --> 00:38:16,855
Has the recipe come out all right?
You're happy with it?
713
00:38:16,880 --> 00:38:18,215
I'm happy with that. Yeah.
714
00:38:20,600 --> 00:38:23,215
Yeah, nice. Thank you.
715
00:38:23,240 --> 00:38:25,975
There's now 90 minutes
until service.
716
00:38:27,240 --> 00:38:31,895
With Vanessa's salsa completed,
she now has the job of making 50
717
00:38:31,920 --> 00:38:35,055
tacos, which she will have to master
using the restaurant's
718
00:38:35,080 --> 00:38:37,255
Mexican tortilla press.
719
00:38:37,280 --> 00:38:40,255
You need to catch some of them
when they come out the back,
720
00:38:40,280 --> 00:38:42,535
flip them on here.
And some out the front? Yeah.
721
00:38:42,560 --> 00:38:45,335
And there's no order to that?
It's just... No, it's very random.
722
00:38:45,360 --> 00:38:46,695
I wish I could tell you why.
723
00:38:50,360 --> 00:38:52,135
Ah! One out here.
724
00:38:53,760 --> 00:38:55,615
Aw, wow!
725
00:38:55,640 --> 00:38:57,375
Not good at this.
726
00:38:57,400 --> 00:38:59,575
OK. Half the tacos are on the floor.
727
00:38:59,600 --> 00:39:01,295
This is terrible!
728
00:39:01,320 --> 00:39:02,895
Oh, dear.
729
00:39:02,920 --> 00:39:05,895
Taco machine - one.
Vanessa - nil.
730
00:39:07,520 --> 00:39:11,695
Linda's got her artichokes prepped,
and she's moving on to portioning
731
00:39:11,720 --> 00:39:13,575
the pork ribs.
732
00:39:13,600 --> 00:39:17,415
Ooh, I'm not really sure where to
cut this bit.
733
00:39:17,440 --> 00:39:19,055
Chefs?
734
00:39:19,080 --> 00:39:21,135
They've got to make sure they cut
those bones right,
735
00:39:21,160 --> 00:39:23,015
so there's a bone in each
of the ribs.
736
00:39:23,040 --> 00:39:25,935
You want to try just letting
the knife do the work for you.
737
00:39:25,960 --> 00:39:29,175
Because you want to serve them
as single ribs where people
738
00:39:29,200 --> 00:39:31,095
can just pick them up and eat them.
739
00:39:32,520 --> 00:39:35,375
Working with these ingredients is
all new to me.
740
00:39:35,400 --> 00:39:37,455
I haven't cooked really
any of these,
741
00:39:37,480 --> 00:39:41,215
so it's an experience and something
to learn, really.
742
00:39:43,160 --> 00:39:46,255
Across the kitchen,
Nickolas is making good progress
743
00:39:46,280 --> 00:39:47,935
with his pigeons.
744
00:39:47,960 --> 00:39:50,255
I've took all the wishbones
out and removed the wings.
745
00:39:50,280 --> 00:39:52,695
And, yeah, they're all prepped up
now, ready to put in the bags
746
00:39:52,720 --> 00:39:54,975
and you put the garlic and you put
the thyme.
747
00:39:55,000 --> 00:39:57,655
Yeah, I think I've done it quite
quickly, so I'm trying to impress
748
00:39:57,680 --> 00:40:00,775
them a bit, so I'm trying
to work quite swiftly.
749
00:40:00,800 --> 00:40:04,455
After gentle cooking in a water
bath, Nickolas will finish them
750
00:40:04,480 --> 00:40:06,335
off to order on the grill.
751
00:40:06,360 --> 00:40:09,255
I've got the sous vide set to 56
degrees and they're going to be
752
00:40:09,280 --> 00:40:11,375
in here for 40 minutes.
753
00:40:11,400 --> 00:40:14,375
I've never used these things before.
It's really exciting.
754
00:40:15,760 --> 00:40:20,415
Robin's got his red mullet filleted
and is now working on a prawn sauce
755
00:40:20,440 --> 00:40:22,135
to go with the chickpeas.
756
00:40:23,400 --> 00:40:26,895
So in here I've put some spicy
ancho sauce,
757
00:40:26,920 --> 00:40:29,615
the stock that's made from
the kombu, the prawns
758
00:40:29,640 --> 00:40:33,695
and the red mullet bones, and some
aioli which is like emulsified
759
00:40:33,720 --> 00:40:36,935
through it to add a creaminess.
It's good to see how
760
00:40:36,960 --> 00:40:39,575
all the different components go
into the sauce.
761
00:40:39,600 --> 00:40:44,135
So trying to get that balance.
I'm just hopeful I do them proud.
762
00:40:46,000 --> 00:40:49,815
On dessert Endang's lime sorbet is
in the freezer
763
00:40:49,840 --> 00:40:51,575
and she's now prepping apples
764
00:40:51,600 --> 00:40:56,695
to be compressed in a sweet stock
syrup with spicy arbol chilli.
765
00:40:56,720 --> 00:41:00,055
The stock syrup can become way too
spicy,
766
00:41:00,080 --> 00:41:03,295
so balancing the chilli in that
is paramount.
767
00:41:03,320 --> 00:41:04,815
I'm not sure about the time,
768
00:41:04,840 --> 00:41:06,895
but I don't want to do
over it or under it.
769
00:41:06,920 --> 00:41:09,175
But it reminds me like in Indonesia
770
00:41:09,200 --> 00:41:12,695
we eat fruit
with the chilli sauce.
771
00:41:12,720 --> 00:41:16,935
So it's kind of, "Ooh, that
reminds me of home."
772
00:41:20,400 --> 00:41:23,575
There's just 40 minutes
until service.
773
00:41:23,600 --> 00:41:26,255
Having finally mastered
the tortilla press,
774
00:41:26,280 --> 00:41:28,215
Vanessa's made her 50 tacos,
775
00:41:28,240 --> 00:41:31,655
but each one must now be cooked
off on the griddle.
776
00:41:31,680 --> 00:41:32,815
Press it down.
777
00:41:34,520 --> 00:41:35,775
And they start to come up.
778
00:41:36,840 --> 00:41:39,335
It's literally no different
from making a chapati.
779
00:41:41,280 --> 00:41:44,855
Linda's working on her Mexican
mole sauce...
780
00:41:44,880 --> 00:41:47,215
It's quite strong on your throat.
SHE COUGHS
781
00:41:47,240 --> 00:41:51,055
...that contains over 30 different
ingredients.
782
00:41:51,080 --> 00:41:53,775
I know it's got a lot of ingredients
in it, but I don't really know
783
00:41:53,800 --> 00:41:55,415
what it is. I've never heard of it.
784
00:41:55,440 --> 00:41:58,055
That's the truth.
I've never heard of it.
785
00:41:58,080 --> 00:42:02,015
With time running out, Robin's
got his prawn sauce made,
786
00:42:02,040 --> 00:42:04,295
but he still has to prep
all his leeks
787
00:42:04,320 --> 00:42:06,575
to cook directly in the fire.
788
00:42:06,600 --> 00:42:10,335
I was lucky, my mum took me and my
siblings to Italy and we grew
789
00:42:10,360 --> 00:42:12,735
up in the countryside
just north of Rome.
790
00:42:12,760 --> 00:42:18,055
We had a little kind of ramshackle
wood fire pizza oven outside.
791
00:42:18,080 --> 00:42:19,775
So it's taking me back.
Well done, guys.
792
00:42:19,800 --> 00:42:21,735
20 minutes before first course.
Yeah?
793
00:42:21,760 --> 00:42:24,135
Yes, Chef. Yes, Chef.
794
00:42:24,160 --> 00:42:28,895
With service fast approaching,
Nickolas's prep is complete.
795
00:42:28,920 --> 00:42:31,295
Hey, Nickolas. How are you getting
on? These have just come out
796
00:42:31,320 --> 00:42:33,455
of the sous vide. They're all ready.
797
00:42:33,480 --> 00:42:35,735
Yep. Cool.
Can we have a look at the carrots?
798
00:42:35,760 --> 00:42:37,895
Yeah, sure. Just to see the texture.
799
00:42:40,160 --> 00:42:42,775
Yeah. They're done. Nice.
So you're all up together?
800
00:42:42,800 --> 00:42:45,295
Anything else to do? No. That's
everything done at the minute.
801
00:42:45,320 --> 00:42:47,215
Unless there's anything else you
want me to do?
802
00:42:47,240 --> 00:42:49,735
Can you do mise en place
for tonight, please? Yeah.
803
00:42:51,160 --> 00:42:55,255
On dessert, Endang's racing to get
her all-important Italian
804
00:42:55,280 --> 00:42:57,495
meringue made before service.
805
00:42:57,520 --> 00:43:00,495
This is my first time making
Italian meringue.
806
00:43:00,520 --> 00:43:02,575
And I'm terrified.
807
00:43:02,600 --> 00:43:04,175
We don't want to mess up.
808
00:43:04,200 --> 00:43:09,055
She needs to heat a sugar syrup
to exactly 121 degrees
809
00:43:09,080 --> 00:43:11,375
so it cooks the beaten egg whites.
810
00:43:11,400 --> 00:43:13,335
She needs to be quite precise.
811
00:43:13,360 --> 00:43:16,855
There's lots of details where
you can go easily, easily wrong.
812
00:43:16,880 --> 00:43:19,295
Oh, this is serious.
813
00:43:22,280 --> 00:43:23,495
Labour of love.
814
00:43:28,440 --> 00:43:32,375
It's midday and the restaurant
is filling up for lunch.
815
00:43:34,080 --> 00:43:35,895
With the service about to start,
816
00:43:35,920 --> 00:43:38,575
the nerves will now be bubbling.
817
00:43:38,600 --> 00:43:41,975
Think of a rock concert when they're
just about to open up the curtain
818
00:43:42,000 --> 00:43:43,735
and everybody is waiting.
819
00:43:43,760 --> 00:43:46,255
Slightly frantic, maybe
a little bit apprehensive,
820
00:43:46,280 --> 00:43:51,255
but right now I hope truly excited
and ready to rock and roll.
821
00:43:51,280 --> 00:43:54,855
Right then, guys. Service has begun.
Two tacos away, yeah?
822
00:43:54,880 --> 00:43:56,695
Yeah. Off and running.
823
00:43:56,720 --> 00:44:00,655
Key to the success of Vanessa's
dish is the caramelisation
824
00:44:00,680 --> 00:44:02,535
of the slow-cooked pork.
825
00:44:02,560 --> 00:44:04,415
I don't want to ruin the pork
826
00:44:04,440 --> 00:44:06,935
cos somebody spent 36 hours on it.
827
00:44:08,200 --> 00:44:09,895
How's the pork looking? Really good.
828
00:44:09,920 --> 00:44:11,535
Yeah, that looks nice and golden.
829
00:44:11,560 --> 00:44:13,455
As well as the cooking of
the meat...
830
00:44:13,480 --> 00:44:14,935
OK, taco.
831
00:44:14,960 --> 00:44:19,575
...she also has to bring together
six other elements of her dish.
832
00:44:19,600 --> 00:44:22,455
Cheque on, another two tacos away.
833
00:44:22,480 --> 00:44:24,455
But as the orders come in fast...
834
00:44:24,480 --> 00:44:26,935
And cheque on, another two tacos.
Six all day. Yeah.
835
00:44:26,960 --> 00:44:29,975
...the pressure to get them
all done quickly mounts.
836
00:44:30,000 --> 00:44:32,815
Just try and move a little bit
faster with the tacos, yeah? Sorry.
837
00:44:32,840 --> 00:44:36,095
Looks good, though. Thank you.
Looks really, really good.
838
00:44:36,120 --> 00:44:38,375
Just make sure the beans are
a little bit looser
839
00:44:38,400 --> 00:44:40,135
cos they're a little bit dry,
all right? OK.
840
00:44:40,160 --> 00:44:42,255
Service. Let's go.
841
00:44:42,280 --> 00:44:45,535
Learning as I go along,
the beans could be a bit looser.
842
00:44:45,560 --> 00:44:47,455
Pork was cooked perfectly, so...
843
00:44:47,480 --> 00:44:49,815
Yeah, I remembered everything.
I'm happy.
844
00:44:49,840 --> 00:44:53,175
We've got our pork belly tacos. Ooh!
Oh, wow.
845
00:44:53,200 --> 00:44:55,535
Cheque on, six tacos away.
846
00:44:55,560 --> 00:44:57,455
So that's ten all day. OK.
847
00:44:57,480 --> 00:45:00,735
As the orders start to increase
for Vanessa...
848
00:45:00,760 --> 00:45:02,175
Right. Cheque on, Linda.
849
00:45:02,200 --> 00:45:04,375
You've got two pork,
two artichoke away. Yep?
850
00:45:04,400 --> 00:45:05,535
Yes, Chef.
851
00:45:05,560 --> 00:45:09,255
...Linda is also under way,
juggling her pork and lentils
852
00:45:09,280 --> 00:45:10,855
on the live fire.
853
00:45:10,880 --> 00:45:13,735
Ooh! And another two ribs on top,
yeah?
854
00:45:14,880 --> 00:45:16,135
More going on.
855
00:45:18,240 --> 00:45:20,935
Yeah, Linda's going.
She's on the grill now.
856
00:45:20,960 --> 00:45:22,255
Ah!
857
00:45:22,280 --> 00:45:24,495
I'm a little bit concerned
about the heat right now for her,
858
00:45:24,520 --> 00:45:26,935
but, yeah, she'll get through it.
859
00:45:26,960 --> 00:45:29,695
It's just so hot.
It's really hot.
860
00:45:29,720 --> 00:45:32,815
As well as getting the correct
char on the ribs,
861
00:45:32,840 --> 00:45:35,295
she has to plate and season
the artichokes
862
00:45:35,320 --> 00:45:37,335
and lentil dish correctly...
863
00:45:37,360 --> 00:45:39,575
If you get them all like that,
it's perfect.
864
00:45:39,600 --> 00:45:42,095
...and coat all the ribs
in the mole glaze.
865
00:45:43,160 --> 00:45:44,815
Oh!
866
00:45:44,840 --> 00:45:47,775
I don't know if that's OK.
867
00:45:50,640 --> 00:45:51,975
Right, that's not a bad start.
868
00:45:52,000 --> 00:45:54,295
Just got to remember,
just to compose yourself.
869
00:45:54,320 --> 00:45:56,055
But we're good, we're good. OK.
870
00:45:57,440 --> 00:45:59,855
It's a lot of pressure
but it's the heat.
871
00:45:59,880 --> 00:46:03,975
It's like being in hell, like
literally the devil's home.
872
00:46:05,920 --> 00:46:07,255
Cheque on, two mullet away.
873
00:46:07,280 --> 00:46:09,095
Oui! Yes, Chef!
874
00:46:09,120 --> 00:46:10,775
With his first order in,
875
00:46:10,800 --> 00:46:15,695
timing is key for Robin's dish.
As well as cooking the leeks twice,
876
00:46:15,720 --> 00:46:19,455
first charred in the embers and then
wrapped in foil to finish...
877
00:46:21,200 --> 00:46:24,495
...he must also cook his red
mullet to perfection.
878
00:46:27,640 --> 00:46:30,095
Right, bro, let's have a look at
the leeks.
879
00:46:30,120 --> 00:46:31,455
That's raw. It's raw?
880
00:46:31,480 --> 00:46:33,895
Wrap them back up in the foil
and put them on the fire.
881
00:46:33,920 --> 00:46:36,535
I haven't put them in yet.
Oh, don't cut them, then.
882
00:46:36,560 --> 00:46:38,295
So cut them at the very end.
883
00:46:38,320 --> 00:46:40,735
It's the very last thing
you're doing. OK. Sorry, mate.
884
00:46:40,760 --> 00:46:42,215
Apologies.
885
00:46:42,240 --> 00:46:45,815
Robin is jumping a few steps, so
he's already slicing it in half
886
00:46:45,840 --> 00:46:48,095
when really that should be
the very last minute.
887
00:46:48,120 --> 00:46:50,295
It's one of those things we caught
before it went out.
888
00:46:50,320 --> 00:46:52,935
While Robin finishes cooking
his leeks...
889
00:46:52,960 --> 00:46:56,575
Cheque on, one pigeon.
And cheque on, two pigeon.
890
00:46:56,600 --> 00:46:58,055
Yes, Chef.
891
00:46:58,080 --> 00:47:02,175
...Nickolas has his first order
for his pigeon and white beans.
892
00:47:02,200 --> 00:47:04,375
I'm just trying to get
maximum colour
893
00:47:04,400 --> 00:47:07,415
and not to overcook it, really.
894
00:47:07,440 --> 00:47:09,015
Sorry, guys. Squeeze through.
895
00:47:10,640 --> 00:47:13,975
Robin's first dish has finally
made it to the pass.
896
00:47:16,160 --> 00:47:19,095
Just go careful on the leek
cos that's about as cooked
897
00:47:19,120 --> 00:47:20,655
on the edge as possible, yeah?
898
00:47:23,120 --> 00:47:25,975
A little bit less cooking on these,
yeah? A little bit less cooking.
899
00:47:26,000 --> 00:47:27,735
All right, service.
900
00:47:27,760 --> 00:47:30,255
It's just when you learn at the
beginning, then you're trying
901
00:47:30,280 --> 00:47:32,415
to do all the prep afterwards,
you just forget some of
902
00:47:32,440 --> 00:47:34,935
the tiny processes.
Hopefully this time round,
903
00:47:34,960 --> 00:47:37,375
this order, I'll be there.
904
00:47:37,400 --> 00:47:41,055
Back at the grill, Nickolas
is ready with his pigeon dish.
905
00:47:43,640 --> 00:47:45,735
These are the two here, Chef.
906
00:47:45,760 --> 00:47:47,255
Wicked.
907
00:47:50,200 --> 00:47:53,215
I like your little hiding
trick of the burnt leg there.
908
00:47:53,240 --> 00:47:55,775
It just kicked up all of a sudden,
and it just started catching.
909
00:47:55,800 --> 00:47:58,015
Just never try and hide
something away from the pass.
910
00:47:58,040 --> 00:47:59,735
You know, it ain't going
to get past me.
911
00:47:59,760 --> 00:48:01,495
I'm going to see it. Yes, Chef.
912
00:48:02,640 --> 00:48:04,055
Service.
913
00:48:05,440 --> 00:48:08,135
A little bit of the leg got caught
on flame and went a bit too dark
914
00:48:08,160 --> 00:48:10,735
and I tried to hide it underneath
the other leg and he's like,
915
00:48:10,760 --> 00:48:14,295
"Don't do that." Lesson learned.
916
00:48:14,320 --> 00:48:16,575
Right, cheque on. Two apple away.
Yes, Chef.
917
00:48:16,600 --> 00:48:21,135
Endang's first orders are in for
her apple, meringue...
918
00:48:21,160 --> 00:48:22,815
Oh, messy. Messy.
919
00:48:22,840 --> 00:48:25,575
...and lime sorbet dessert,
920
00:48:25,600 --> 00:48:28,775
which requires a deft touch
with hot charcoal.
921
00:48:38,280 --> 00:48:42,775
It's very cool, blowing
while it's on fire.
922
00:48:42,800 --> 00:48:45,175
Oh!
923
00:48:45,200 --> 00:48:48,215
So, Endang, the apples are great,
the meringue is great,
924
00:48:48,240 --> 00:48:50,815
and then the crumb, try not to place
it too much to the side.
925
00:48:50,840 --> 00:48:52,895
Yes, Chef. Good job there.
Good first start. Thank you.
926
00:48:52,920 --> 00:48:54,655
527!
927
00:48:54,680 --> 00:48:58,495
Cheque on, another pork taco
and another two pork tacos on top.
928
00:48:58,520 --> 00:49:00,535
So 16 all day. 16.
929
00:49:00,560 --> 00:49:04,455
On the first course,
Vanessa is swamped with orders.
930
00:49:04,480 --> 00:49:07,935
So now this is the real challenge.
Just has to make sure she keeps
931
00:49:07,960 --> 00:49:10,615
up with the pace,
keeps her calm as well.
932
00:49:10,640 --> 00:49:12,775
I don't feel like
I'm working fast enough,
933
00:49:12,800 --> 00:49:15,855
like the pace here is like
nothing else.
934
00:49:18,200 --> 00:49:19,535
She's done really good.
935
00:49:21,080 --> 00:49:23,335
Right, then. The only thing,
Vanessa, we've just got to be
936
00:49:23,360 --> 00:49:25,455
quicker on it.
Ten? Ten now, right?
937
00:49:25,480 --> 00:49:27,415
Yeah, you've got still ten away.
938
00:49:27,440 --> 00:49:29,775
Pork belly taco. Thank you.
939
00:49:29,800 --> 00:49:30,935
Wow!
940
00:49:30,960 --> 00:49:33,215
Such a simple-looking dish
941
00:49:33,240 --> 00:49:36,135
has so many complicated elements.
942
00:49:36,160 --> 00:49:38,015
Like, it is not just a taco.
943
00:49:39,160 --> 00:49:41,175
I think Vanessa has done
a really good job.
944
00:49:41,200 --> 00:49:45,215
Nice thin taco. And the pork itself
- delicious.
945
00:49:45,240 --> 00:49:46,895
A really well made dish.
946
00:49:49,600 --> 00:49:51,375
Over at the grill...
947
00:49:51,400 --> 00:49:54,215
It's too hot here. I can't do it.
It's too hot.
948
00:49:54,240 --> 00:49:55,895
...Linda is struggling.
949
00:49:55,920 --> 00:49:57,535
I feel like I'm cooking.
950
00:49:57,560 --> 00:49:59,975
So, Linda, you've got nine
pork ribs on all day, yeah?
951
00:50:00,000 --> 00:50:01,535
Nine? Yeah. Sorry.
952
00:50:01,560 --> 00:50:03,095
Another nine?
953
00:50:03,120 --> 00:50:06,735
Orders for Linda's pork rib are
starting to back up.
954
00:50:06,760 --> 00:50:09,135
You all right, Linda? Yeah!
Do you want some help,
955
00:50:09,160 --> 00:50:11,775
just from one of the chefs? Just to
give you a bit of a push. Yeah.
956
00:50:11,800 --> 00:50:14,055
Honestly you're doing so well.
Dom, are you happy to help?
957
00:50:14,080 --> 00:50:16,695
Yeah. I'm over. Right, let's go.
958
00:50:16,720 --> 00:50:17,935
Thank you.
959
00:50:19,520 --> 00:50:21,775
You're good to go on that one.
960
00:50:21,800 --> 00:50:23,495
OK.
961
00:50:23,520 --> 00:50:24,735
Yes, Linda.
962
00:50:24,760 --> 00:50:26,615
Lovely. That looks nice.
963
00:50:26,640 --> 00:50:28,655
Right, service. Let's go.
964
00:50:28,680 --> 00:50:31,695
Ah, I feel like I've been in
the sauna for about a week.
965
00:50:35,960 --> 00:50:39,855
The ribs of the sweet soft pork
covered in a spicy sauce,
966
00:50:39,880 --> 00:50:43,855
the lentils themselves really smoky,
artichokes cooked beautifully.
967
00:50:43,880 --> 00:50:46,775
I know she's going to be stressed,
but it's delicious.
968
00:50:46,800 --> 00:50:48,295
Is that OK?
969
00:50:48,320 --> 00:50:51,535
While Linda gets help catching
up on her orders,
970
00:50:51,560 --> 00:50:55,095
Robin is still trying to master
cooking his fish.
971
00:50:55,120 --> 00:50:56,295
Where's my red mullet?
972
00:50:56,320 --> 00:50:57,815
It's coming. Sorry, Chef.
973
00:50:59,160 --> 00:51:00,975
There's your mullet, Chef.
974
00:51:01,000 --> 00:51:03,335
Uh, Robin, that's raw.
975
00:51:03,360 --> 00:51:04,855
I was trying to do it for less time.
976
00:51:04,880 --> 00:51:07,055
Yeah. I'm going to go with the one.
I've got two more.
977
00:51:07,080 --> 00:51:09,575
And then there's the two away,
all right? Right, service.
978
00:51:09,600 --> 00:51:12,095
Cooking the fish under the grill is
difficult cos you can't see it.
979
00:51:12,120 --> 00:51:14,135
You're constantly trying
to squeeze through
980
00:51:14,160 --> 00:51:16,135
to get to the leeks,
which have got to be soft.
981
00:51:16,160 --> 00:51:19,455
So, just trying to juggle it all.
982
00:51:28,920 --> 00:51:31,775
I hope this is better for you, Chef.
Thank you very much.
983
00:51:31,800 --> 00:51:34,175
Olive oil, salt, pepper?
Olive oil, salt, pepper.
984
00:51:34,200 --> 00:51:37,335
Pepper on that one? Should be, maybe
a bit more needed. A touch more.
985
00:51:37,360 --> 00:51:39,175
OK. Excellent. Thank you, mate.
986
00:51:39,200 --> 00:51:41,575
Lovely job, Robin.
Thank you, Chef.
987
00:51:41,600 --> 00:51:43,815
I would like everything
to be perfect
988
00:51:43,840 --> 00:51:45,975
and sometimes things haven't
been perfect.
989
00:51:46,000 --> 00:51:47,895
They're just slightly under,
slightly over.
990
00:51:47,920 --> 00:51:49,935
It's difficult.
It's really difficult.
991
00:51:52,120 --> 00:51:55,535
That sauce around those chickpeas
tastes of the sea,
992
00:51:55,560 --> 00:51:59,535
like a really good bouillabaisse.
Across the top - soft, beautifully
993
00:51:59,560 --> 00:52:02,615
cooked bit of mullet.
That leek is really lovely
994
00:52:02,640 --> 00:52:04,975
and charred on the outside
and slightly bitter.
995
00:52:05,000 --> 00:52:07,655
But inside it's steamed
and it's lovely and soft.
996
00:52:07,680 --> 00:52:08,815
It's great.
997
00:52:10,800 --> 00:52:14,575
Across the kitchen, Nickolas
is thriving under the pressure.
998
00:52:14,600 --> 00:52:16,175
There you go, Chef. Yeah. Wicked.
999
00:52:16,200 --> 00:52:18,295
Service. Right, let's... Let's...
Yeah.
1000
00:52:20,400 --> 00:52:22,335
We've got nine on,
so I've got to crack on.
1001
00:52:22,360 --> 00:52:24,615
They've all come in at one time.
Got to make sure the standard
1002
00:52:24,640 --> 00:52:26,815
is high though, cos when you're
trying to rush things,
1003
00:52:26,840 --> 00:52:28,935
it's never a recipe for success.
1004
00:52:28,960 --> 00:52:31,695
Should have a two and a one
coming up. Yep.
1005
00:52:31,720 --> 00:52:34,935
Chef, there's the single.
Right, service.
1006
00:52:36,520 --> 00:52:38,615
You know, I think practice
makes perfect.
1007
00:52:38,640 --> 00:52:40,615
The more I make, the better
I get, I suppose.
1008
00:52:40,640 --> 00:52:42,655
I'm loving the experience, though.
It's just manic.
1009
00:52:42,680 --> 00:52:45,295
But I like it.
The adrenaline's rushing.
1010
00:52:45,320 --> 00:52:49,215
I've got to say, I think the cooking
of the pigeon is absolutely perfect.
1011
00:52:49,240 --> 00:52:52,015
I think Nickolas has done
a great job. Wonderful, soft
1012
00:52:52,040 --> 00:52:54,815
beans sitting underneath that
pigeon, but the flavours are dancing
1013
00:52:54,840 --> 00:52:57,695
all over the place.
Absolutely fantastic.
1014
00:52:57,720 --> 00:52:59,695
Cheque on, another apple.
1015
00:52:59,720 --> 00:53:01,055
Apple coming.
1016
00:53:01,080 --> 00:53:04,975
Endang's also got multiple orders
on for her dessert.
1017
00:53:05,000 --> 00:53:06,935
So that's seven all day, yeah?
1018
00:53:06,960 --> 00:53:08,455
Oui, Chef. Should be two now.
1019
00:53:08,480 --> 00:53:10,295
Yep. Great job. Right, service.
1020
00:53:11,880 --> 00:53:15,535
But the heat of the kitchen
is causing problems
1021
00:53:15,560 --> 00:53:17,375
for her lime sorbet.
1022
00:53:17,400 --> 00:53:19,655
That's probably just getting to
the point where
1023
00:53:19,680 --> 00:53:21,535
it's a bit too...
Quite wet, isn't it?
1024
00:53:21,560 --> 00:53:23,855
The next one, make sure you
start from scratch.
1025
00:53:23,880 --> 00:53:25,575
A nice, fresh one.
Yes, Chef.
1026
00:53:32,200 --> 00:53:33,295
Yeah.
1027
00:53:36,360 --> 00:53:38,495
You know, you're doing that meringue
amazing? Thank you.
1028
00:53:38,520 --> 00:53:40,135
Beautiful. Service.
1029
00:53:40,160 --> 00:53:42,695
524. Right, cheque on.
One apple, oui?
1030
00:53:42,720 --> 00:53:44,095
Yes, Chef!
1031
00:53:45,680 --> 00:53:46,855
Enjoy.
1032
00:53:46,880 --> 00:53:48,895
Presentation's been, like, really,
really good.
1033
00:53:48,920 --> 00:53:51,175
Thank you very much. Keep it up,
though, cos we want to finish
1034
00:53:51,200 --> 00:53:53,215
the way we started.
Yes, Chef. Thank you.
1035
00:53:54,600 --> 00:53:56,175
Endang is back in town.
1036
00:53:56,200 --> 00:53:58,215
There's chilli in there,
that's for sure.
1037
00:53:58,240 --> 00:54:00,295
The meringue itself is amazing.
1038
00:54:00,320 --> 00:54:03,095
That flavour of like smoke,
then you get refreshed
1039
00:54:03,120 --> 00:54:05,255
by lime sorbet. It's amazing!
1040
00:54:07,400 --> 00:54:09,295
Service is almost over.
1041
00:54:12,240 --> 00:54:14,335
This is your last two, what you're
doing. Let's make
1042
00:54:14,360 --> 00:54:16,295
these the best you've made all day.
Oh, they will be!
1043
00:54:16,320 --> 00:54:19,055
Final two, just as I was getting
into the swing of it as well.
1044
00:54:19,080 --> 00:54:20,695
It's so annoying.
1045
00:54:20,720 --> 00:54:22,215
Yeah, Vanessa's done really well.
1046
00:54:22,240 --> 00:54:24,455
Bit more refinement in a few
places, but I think
1047
00:54:24,480 --> 00:54:27,015
it's just because of the quantity
of what she had on.
1048
00:54:27,040 --> 00:54:28,735
It was a lot to deal with.
1049
00:54:30,000 --> 00:54:31,415
Lovely. Thank you. Well done.
1050
00:54:31,440 --> 00:54:33,175
You've done great, so great.
Thank you.
1051
00:54:33,200 --> 00:54:34,615
Service.
1052
00:54:34,640 --> 00:54:36,975
I mean, that was an introduction
into a professional
1053
00:54:37,000 --> 00:54:39,575
kitchen, wasn't it? And it's
definitely something
1054
00:54:39,600 --> 00:54:43,615
that I think with a bit of practice
would be right up my street.
1055
00:54:43,640 --> 00:54:46,535
Yeah, Linda, you got the last two
plates? Nearly there!
1056
00:54:48,200 --> 00:54:51,815
I was sort of enjoying it,
but really that was hard.
1057
00:54:53,440 --> 00:54:55,615
Excellent. Look, you've done
really well.
1058
00:54:55,640 --> 00:54:57,015
That grill is brutal.
1059
00:54:57,040 --> 00:54:59,055
I'm proud of you, all right?
Thanks, Chef.
1060
00:54:59,080 --> 00:55:03,455
I'd just love now a big glass of
lager, cold. It'd be lovely.
1061
00:55:04,720 --> 00:55:06,575
All of them are meant to be
the best, really, so they
1062
00:55:06,600 --> 00:55:07,895
all should be at a high standard.
1063
00:55:07,920 --> 00:55:10,055
But, yeah, we'll give a big push
on this one.
1064
00:55:11,880 --> 00:55:13,655
Literally get a buzz being in here.
1065
00:55:13,680 --> 00:55:15,815
Like, I love the adrenaline
rush that I get.
1066
00:55:15,840 --> 00:55:19,775
I think I'm a bit of a high energy
person anyway, so I love it.
1067
00:55:19,800 --> 00:55:22,215
It's just... I feel at home here.
1068
00:55:22,240 --> 00:55:23,975
Brilliant, thank you very much.
1069
00:55:24,000 --> 00:55:27,215
Be proud of yourself, all right?
Yeah, thanks, man.
1070
00:55:27,240 --> 00:55:30,055
It's very exciting, very intense.
1071
00:55:30,080 --> 00:55:31,455
A learning curve, for sure.
1072
00:55:33,480 --> 00:55:36,055
It's looking good. Right, service.
1073
00:55:36,080 --> 00:55:37,815
All in all, an excellent
experience. Yeah.
1074
00:55:37,840 --> 00:55:41,455
Right, then. It's the last two,
finishing off the service. Woo!
1075
00:55:41,480 --> 00:55:43,055
Yeah, you're there. See? Yeah.
1076
00:55:47,880 --> 00:55:49,615
Excellent day. Excellent day.
1077
00:55:51,320 --> 00:55:52,775
I could do more.
1078
00:55:52,800 --> 00:55:53,935
Not full time.
1079
00:55:57,320 --> 00:55:59,735
Excellent. Perfect. Great job.
1080
00:55:59,760 --> 00:56:02,095
You captured that dish perfectly.
Thank you very much, Chef.
1081
00:56:02,120 --> 00:56:03,935
All right, service. Going to 525.
1082
00:56:03,960 --> 00:56:06,455
The last one. High five?
1083
00:56:06,480 --> 00:56:08,135
Yes!
1084
00:56:11,080 --> 00:56:15,295
After seven hours in a professional
kitchen, the amateurs' first
1085
00:56:15,320 --> 00:56:18,415
restaurant service is finally over.
1086
00:56:18,440 --> 00:56:20,575
I feel a sense of relief.
1087
00:56:20,600 --> 00:56:24,175
I knew it would... It was going to
be a big challenge for amateur chefs
1088
00:56:24,200 --> 00:56:29,335
to be able to cook in this kitchen,
with fire, the heat.
1089
00:56:29,360 --> 00:56:33,135
So in the end, I think it's a bit
of an eye opener to me to what level
1090
00:56:33,160 --> 00:56:34,775
an amateur chef can cook at.
1091
00:56:34,800 --> 00:56:37,055
And I think that speaks volumes.
1092
00:56:39,040 --> 00:56:42,935
I'm so happy. That was just such
an incredible buzz.
1093
00:56:42,960 --> 00:56:46,215
And I really hope that I did
Chef proud.
1094
00:56:47,960 --> 00:56:51,295
It was tough. But, yes, I still want
to have my own little restaurant.
1095
00:56:51,320 --> 00:56:54,335
Absolutely, yeah.
Not a charcoal grill in it!
1096
00:56:54,360 --> 00:56:56,175
There won't be one in sight.
1097
00:56:58,680 --> 00:57:01,415
A fantastic start to knockout week.
1098
00:57:01,440 --> 00:57:05,535
The food's been delicious, but it
hasn't been without hard toil
1099
00:57:05,560 --> 00:57:08,455
and real difficult grind.
1100
00:57:08,480 --> 00:57:11,335
Next up, the other group are going
to have to prove
1101
00:57:11,360 --> 00:57:13,775
they've got what it takes to
actually do the same.
1102
00:57:17,400 --> 00:57:20,815
Next time, the second group of seven
1103
00:57:20,840 --> 00:57:24,295
are back to battle it out...
1104
00:57:24,320 --> 00:57:27,015
Don't panic. This is a joy.
1105
00:57:27,040 --> 00:57:31,375
...for the chance to work in their
first professional kitchen.
1106
00:57:31,400 --> 00:57:33,775
I know the pressure's on. We are
busy, but we need to pick up
1107
00:57:33,800 --> 00:57:35,615
the pace, please.
