ANNOUNCER: Previously
on MasterChef Australia,
2
00:00:06,880 --> 00:00:09,680
It's every cook for themselves.
3
00:00:09,680 --> 00:00:10,800
(ALL CHEER)
4
00:00:12,000 --> 00:00:14,680
And with a massive prize
on the line...
5
00:00:14,680 --> 00:00:17,680
$10,000 and an immunity pin?
That would be huge.
6
00:00:19,120 --> 00:00:22,680
..they produced
some of their best dishes yet.
7
00:00:24,960 --> 00:00:27,920
Michael, This is the kind of recipe
that gets downloaded by the million.
8
00:00:27,920 --> 00:00:28,920
Thanks.
9
00:00:28,920 --> 00:00:32,320
And Sarah blew away the judges...
Hi.
10
00:00:32,320 --> 00:00:36,840
It has all the beauty and elegance
of a three Michelin star dish.
11
00:00:36,840 --> 00:00:39,960
..claiming the cash and the pin.
12
00:00:39,960 --> 00:00:42,440
Tonight, one
of our favourite guests...
13
00:00:42,440 --> 00:00:45,400
HARRY: I've loved her my whole life.
I've got all of her cookbooks.
14
00:00:45,400 --> 00:00:48,280
..is back in the MasterChef kitchen.
15
00:00:50,240 --> 00:00:52,120
# 'Cause you're hot, then you're cold
16
00:00:52,120 --> 00:00:53,880
# You're yes, then you're no
17
00:00:53,880 --> 00:00:55,640
# You're in, then you're out
18
00:00:55,640 --> 00:00:57,480
# You're up, then you're down
19
00:00:57,480 --> 00:00:59,320
# You're wrong when it's right
20
00:00:59,320 --> 00:01:01,120
# It's black and it's white
21
00:01:01,120 --> 00:01:02,920
# We fight, we break up
22
00:01:02,920 --> 00:01:04,800
# We kiss, we make up
23
00:01:04,800 --> 00:01:06,560
# You're hot, then you're cold
24
00:01:06,560 --> 00:01:08,400
# You're yes, then you're no
25
00:01:08,400 --> 00:01:10,200
# You're in, then you're out
26
00:01:10,200 --> 00:01:12,000
# You're up, then you're down
27
00:01:12,000 --> 00:01:13,880
# You're wrong when it's right
28
00:01:13,880 --> 00:01:15,720
# It's black and it's white
29
00:01:15,720 --> 00:01:17,560
# We fight, we break up
30
00:01:17,560 --> 00:01:19,880
# We kiss, we make up
31
00:01:19,880 --> 00:01:23,160
# You
# You don't really wanna stay, no
32
00:01:23,160 --> 00:01:26,680
# You
# But you don't really wanna go-o
33
00:01:26,680 --> 00:01:28,440
# You're hot, then you're cold
34
00:01:28,440 --> 00:01:30,200
# You're yes, then you're no
35
00:01:30,200 --> 00:01:32,080
# You're in, then you're out
36
00:01:32,080 --> 00:01:34,440
# You're up, then you're down. #
37
00:01:45,440 --> 00:01:47,200
Excited!
38
00:01:48,200 --> 00:01:50,640
Hello, everybody.
39
00:01:50,640 --> 00:01:52,920
This is so nice.
What's going on?
40
00:01:52,920 --> 00:01:55,000
Hey, mate. How are we? Eh?
41
00:01:57,080 --> 00:01:58,560
Come on, guys.
42
00:01:58,560 --> 00:02:03,600
Yesterday we finally joined teams,
and now we're one big group.
43
00:02:03,600 --> 00:02:04,920
Good morning.
44
00:02:04,920 --> 00:02:06,960
ALDO: Everybody is over the moon
excited
45
00:02:06,960 --> 00:02:09,280
that we're going to be cooking
all together.
46
00:02:09,280 --> 00:02:10,720
We are one big family.
47
00:02:13,920 --> 00:02:15,800
Oh. Mystery boxes.
48
00:02:15,800 --> 00:02:18,160
We've got a mystery box.
49
00:02:18,160 --> 00:02:20,880
Good morning, everyone.
Come on down the front.
50
00:02:24,960 --> 00:02:28,240
It's so great to see you
in your fresh new aprons.
51
00:02:28,240 --> 00:02:29,480
(LAUGHTER)
52
00:02:29,480 --> 00:02:32,520
It's a new day, a new mystery box,
53
00:02:32,520 --> 00:02:35,640
and a new stage in the competition.
54
00:02:37,200 --> 00:02:41,320
Daniel, you're looking across
at this very talented group of people
55
00:02:41,320 --> 00:02:44,080
and thinking,
"I have to beat them all."
56
00:02:44,080 --> 00:02:46,400
Yeah. Pretty much.
(LAUGHTER)
57
00:02:46,400 --> 00:02:47,880
No, I'm kind of excited.
58
00:02:47,880 --> 00:02:49,080
Like, now it's an opportunity
59
00:02:49,080 --> 00:02:51,160
to learn
from more than just the Fans,
60
00:02:51,160 --> 00:02:53,280
and it's probably
a good breath of fresh air
61
00:02:53,280 --> 00:02:55,840
from the Fans, they're probably
sick of me. (CHUCKLES)
62
00:02:57,840 --> 00:02:59,000
You right, Andy?
63
00:02:59,000 --> 00:03:01,080
Yeah, there was a few nods.
I was like...
64
00:03:01,080 --> 00:03:02,920
(LAUGHTER)
65
00:03:05,240 --> 00:03:07,200
Brush it off.
66
00:03:07,200 --> 00:03:09,280
Well, today is a mystery box day.
67
00:03:09,280 --> 00:03:11,880
And today's mystery box
contains ingredients
68
00:03:11,880 --> 00:03:15,840
chosen by a legendary cook
and a national treasure.
69
00:03:15,840 --> 00:03:18,600
Ooh.
Mmm.
70
00:03:18,600 --> 00:03:21,200
She's been part of our lives
for the past 40 years,
71
00:03:21,200 --> 00:03:25,760
and her cooking has graced
our television screens, our homes
72
00:03:25,760 --> 00:03:27,080
and our hearts.
73
00:03:28,120 --> 00:03:30,600
Her love of food
radiates through her,
74
00:03:30,600 --> 00:03:33,440
and it's hard not to smile
when she's in the room.
75
00:03:33,440 --> 00:03:35,160
Maggie Beer.
76
00:03:35,160 --> 00:03:38,320
Please give a very warm welcome
77
00:03:38,320 --> 00:03:40,000
to Maggie Beer!
78
00:03:40,000 --> 00:03:42,520
(ALL CHEER)
79
00:03:50,280 --> 00:03:52,440
Oh, this is amazing!
80
00:03:52,440 --> 00:03:55,440
We all love Maggie
from watching her on TV.
81
00:03:55,440 --> 00:03:58,120
She's part of the fabric
of the Australian food scene.
82
00:03:59,720 --> 00:04:00,720
JOCK: How are you?
83
00:04:00,720 --> 00:04:02,120
What a joy.
84
00:04:03,800 --> 00:04:05,480
What a rock star reception.
85
00:04:10,040 --> 00:04:13,320
Maggie, how does it feel to be back
in this beautiful place,
86
00:04:13,320 --> 00:04:14,680
the MasterChef kitchen?
87
00:04:14,680 --> 00:04:16,360
I'm thrilled to be here again.
88
00:04:16,360 --> 00:04:20,560
And who wouldn't love that welcome?
Exactly right.
89
00:04:20,560 --> 00:04:22,680
I think that is the biggest welcome
we've had yet.
90
00:04:22,680 --> 00:04:23,680
(LAUGHTER)
91
00:04:23,680 --> 00:04:26,800
Melanie, you were...
you were blushing.
92
00:04:26,800 --> 00:04:29,400
You were excited.
You had a huge smile on your face.
93
00:04:29,400 --> 00:04:32,160
How does it feel to have
the legend Maggie Beer in the room?
94
00:04:33,640 --> 00:04:36,920
This is unreal. I just, like...
95
00:04:36,920 --> 00:04:39,480
Some people fangirl over
Taylor Swift or Katy Perry.
96
00:04:39,480 --> 00:04:41,480
For me, it's Maggie Beer.
97
00:04:41,480 --> 00:04:44,000
One of the meals
that Maggie made on the show,
98
00:04:44,000 --> 00:04:45,920
like, years ago when I was 14 or 15,
99
00:04:45,920 --> 00:04:48,560
was one of the first family meals
I made at home.
100
00:04:48,560 --> 00:04:49,880
What was it?
101
00:04:49,880 --> 00:04:53,360
It was a lamb roast with, like,
a crumb...like, a herb crumb crust.
102
00:04:53,360 --> 00:04:55,720
And it was so good.
So good.
103
00:04:56,880 --> 00:04:59,840
Just can't believe you're here.
(LAUGHTER)
104
00:04:59,840 --> 00:05:01,640
No pressure about all this.
105
00:05:02,640 --> 00:05:05,120
Oh, gosh. Can I go now?
106
00:05:05,120 --> 00:05:06,880
(LAUGHTER)
107
00:05:06,880 --> 00:05:08,760
Well, Maggie,
you've put this box together
108
00:05:08,760 --> 00:05:11,480
with all of the ingredients that you
love to have in your regular pantry.
109
00:05:11,480 --> 00:05:12,760
Mm-hm.
110
00:05:12,760 --> 00:05:15,440
Should you show us what they are?
I'd love to.
111
00:05:16,400 --> 00:05:19,120
Are you ready to see
what's inside my mystery box?
112
00:05:19,120 --> 00:05:21,320
ALL: Yes.
We are.
113
00:05:21,320 --> 00:05:22,600
Here we go.
114
00:05:24,080 --> 00:05:26,040
ALL: Ohh!
115
00:05:28,520 --> 00:05:32,000
That's, like,
a classic Maggie mystery box.
116
00:05:32,000 --> 00:05:36,200
Like, there's a beautiful bunch
of fresh herbs, chickpeas
117
00:05:36,200 --> 00:05:38,080
and the game bird.
118
00:05:38,080 --> 00:05:39,520
I don't even know what it is.
119
00:05:39,520 --> 00:05:41,640
Well, there had to be game.
120
00:05:41,640 --> 00:05:43,720
So, we have guinea fowl,
121
00:05:43,720 --> 00:05:45,360
beautiful bird to eat,
122
00:05:45,360 --> 00:05:48,400
chickpeas -
South Australian, of course -
123
00:05:48,400 --> 00:05:52,760
as well as beautiful, tiny capers.
124
00:05:52,760 --> 00:05:56,280
Prunes - now, people
either hate or love prunes.
125
00:05:56,280 --> 00:05:57,600
I love prunes.
126
00:05:57,600 --> 00:06:00,680
Eggplant, paprika,
127
00:06:00,680 --> 00:06:02,120
pistachios
128
00:06:02,120 --> 00:06:06,040
and all these fresh herbs,
things that I can't cook without.
129
00:06:07,240 --> 00:06:09,680
How many people have cooked
with guinea fowl before?
130
00:06:11,320 --> 00:06:13,000
Two.
131
00:06:13,000 --> 00:06:14,120
Oh.
Wow.
132
00:06:14,120 --> 00:06:16,360
OK.
May I ask a question?
133
00:06:16,360 --> 00:06:18,720
Yeah. Come on.
Hit us, Julie, what have you got?
134
00:06:18,720 --> 00:06:20,240
Well, just, you know, with chicken,
135
00:06:20,240 --> 00:06:21,640
it's got to be cooked
all the way through.
136
00:06:21,640 --> 00:06:23,160
Duck, you want it
to be pink in the middle.
137
00:06:23,160 --> 00:06:24,280
What's a guinea fowl?
138
00:06:24,280 --> 00:06:26,720
Well, you can't overcook it.
139
00:06:26,720 --> 00:06:31,080
Game must be
just pink near the bone only.
140
00:06:31,080 --> 00:06:33,720
Overcooking is sort of like
the worst thing in the world,
141
00:06:33,720 --> 00:06:36,200
but don't have it raw either.
OK.
142
00:06:36,200 --> 00:06:38,560
Just be perfect.
Alright.
143
00:06:38,560 --> 00:06:41,360
MEL: Easy. Just like that.
Simple.
144
00:06:41,360 --> 00:06:45,520
You guys have all got 75 minutes
to cook whatever you like,
145
00:06:45,520 --> 00:06:48,560
but you must use
at least one ingredient
146
00:06:48,560 --> 00:06:50,360
from Maggie's mystery box.
147
00:06:50,360 --> 00:06:53,560
The pantry and the garden,
of course, today are closed.
148
00:06:53,560 --> 00:06:55,360
But because Maggie is here,
149
00:06:55,360 --> 00:06:56,840
she's been very kind
150
00:06:56,840 --> 00:07:00,760
and gave you a couple of extra
for your underbench pantry,
151
00:07:00,760 --> 00:07:02,400
which is, Maggie?
152
00:07:02,400 --> 00:07:04,840
Oh, well, verjuice,
would you believe?
153
00:07:04,840 --> 00:07:06,360
(LAUGHTER)
Of course.
154
00:07:06,360 --> 00:07:09,760
But also some vino cotto as well.
155
00:07:09,760 --> 00:07:11,960
But don't forget the verjuice.
156
00:07:11,960 --> 00:07:15,120
For sure there must be verjus.
Maggie Beer verjus.
157
00:07:15,120 --> 00:07:17,800
And also vino cotto is so good.
158
00:07:17,800 --> 00:07:21,000
Today, the four
least impressive dishes
159
00:07:21,000 --> 00:07:23,760
will send their makers
into a pressure test tomorrow
160
00:07:23,760 --> 00:07:26,480
where someone will go home.
161
00:07:26,480 --> 00:07:28,800
Maggie, would you like
to kick us off?
162
00:07:28,800 --> 00:07:30,520
I'd love to.
163
00:07:30,520 --> 00:07:32,400
Good luck, everyone.
164
00:07:32,400 --> 00:07:34,360
And your time starts now.
165
00:07:40,720 --> 00:07:42,600
Sorry.
Sorry, Dan.
166
00:07:50,560 --> 00:07:53,480
Look, I'm super stoked to see
Maggie again one more time.
167
00:07:53,480 --> 00:07:54,800
She's a gem.
168
00:07:54,800 --> 00:07:57,480
I've got such a great memory
of Maggie Beer.
169
00:07:57,480 --> 00:08:00,320
I met her on MasterChef Season 10.
170
00:08:04,440 --> 00:08:06,640
It is just so perfect.
171
00:08:06,640 --> 00:08:07,840
Oh...
172
00:08:07,840 --> 00:08:09,280
Yes!
173
00:08:10,480 --> 00:08:11,760
Oh...
174
00:08:11,760 --> 00:08:15,240
I was in elimination, cooking
a beautiful perfect chicken breast.
175
00:08:15,240 --> 00:08:16,920
And she raved about it.
176
00:08:16,920 --> 00:08:20,000
That silkiness, it's perfection.
177
00:08:20,000 --> 00:08:21,600
It's shimmering.
178
00:08:25,760 --> 00:08:28,880
Today, I just want to give
another great dish to Maggie.
179
00:08:28,880 --> 00:08:30,440
OK. Come on, let's go.
180
00:08:32,080 --> 00:08:33,560
How are we, mate?
181
00:08:33,560 --> 00:08:35,920
Aldo.
Hello. How are we?
182
00:08:35,920 --> 00:08:38,520
I'm good. How are you?
Very well.
183
00:08:38,520 --> 00:08:39,600
What are you cooking?
184
00:08:39,600 --> 00:08:41,720
I'm basically going to do
melanzane a scarpone.
185
00:08:41,720 --> 00:08:43,840
It's basically half eggplant,
186
00:08:43,840 --> 00:08:47,200
then it's going to be
the filling of the eggplant,
187
00:08:47,200 --> 00:08:49,440
with capers,
188
00:08:49,440 --> 00:08:52,160
prunes and beautiful pistachio.
189
00:08:52,160 --> 00:08:54,280
And then normally
we add the mozzarella
190
00:08:54,280 --> 00:08:56,160
or whipped ricotta cream
on the base.
191
00:08:58,280 --> 00:09:00,960
Ricotta?
Yes.
192
00:09:02,520 --> 00:09:04,000
There was no ricotta in the pantry.
193
00:09:04,000 --> 00:09:05,480
And we've got to make it.
194
00:09:05,480 --> 00:09:07,360
Hey, it has to come from somewhere.
195
00:09:07,360 --> 00:09:10,800
Fabulous. I love these
classic Italian flavours.
196
00:09:10,800 --> 00:09:13,120
A confident Aldo is a good Aldo.
197
00:09:13,120 --> 00:09:15,440
Well, you know,
I'm cooking something that I love.
198
00:09:15,440 --> 00:09:18,720
Plus, Maggie, she's here.
She has been my lucky star so far.
199
00:09:18,720 --> 00:09:20,360
Good luck, Aldo.
Thank you.
200
00:09:20,360 --> 00:09:21,720
Good luck.
201
00:09:21,720 --> 00:09:24,480
I remember the advice
that she gave me on my season.
202
00:09:24,480 --> 00:09:28,520
She said, "Just showcase
the bold Italian that you are."
203
00:09:28,520 --> 00:09:32,560
I want to keep that memory
and channelling for today,
204
00:09:32,560 --> 00:09:34,760
and I can be safe
from the bottom four.
205
00:09:41,920 --> 00:09:43,640
HARRY: I couldn't be more happy.
206
00:09:43,640 --> 00:09:47,480
While other kids watched, like, The
Simpsons and Play School and stuff,
207
00:09:47,480 --> 00:09:50,320
I only ever watched, like, The Cook
and the Chef when I came home.
208
00:09:50,320 --> 00:09:52,720
So, it's pretty special
to have her here today
209
00:09:52,720 --> 00:09:55,360
and, like, some seriously beautiful
ingredients as well.
210
00:09:57,400 --> 00:10:00,000
So, when Maggie introduced
the mystery box,
211
00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:02,640
there were some
incredible-looking eggplants.
212
00:10:02,640 --> 00:10:04,360
The judges
seem to be really responsive
213
00:10:04,360 --> 00:10:06,840
to when I cook my, like,
really vegie-based dishes.
214
00:10:06,840 --> 00:10:10,480
So I think that maybe I should
just stay in that box today.
215
00:10:10,480 --> 00:10:13,080
So, today I'm going to make
oven-roasted eggplant
216
00:10:13,080 --> 00:10:16,080
with some agrodolce,
217
00:10:16,080 --> 00:10:17,640
which is something
that we learned from Jock
218
00:10:17,640 --> 00:10:19,040
in our MasterClass the other day,
219
00:10:19,040 --> 00:10:21,560
and also a herb salad.
220
00:10:21,560 --> 00:10:25,640
Agrodolce is a sauce
that is sweet and sour,
221
00:10:25,640 --> 00:10:27,360
really interesting, really complex.
222
00:10:27,360 --> 00:10:30,240
But given the ingredients
that we got in the mystery box,
223
00:10:30,240 --> 00:10:31,440
I'm a little bit worried
224
00:10:31,440 --> 00:10:33,560
about how I'm going
to balance the agrodolce.
225
00:10:33,560 --> 00:10:36,880
Hopefully, I'll be able
to manage that in other ways.
226
00:10:36,880 --> 00:10:40,080
The agrodolce is my hero of the dish.
227
00:10:40,080 --> 00:10:43,520
As long as I give myself enough
time all day today to taste
228
00:10:43,520 --> 00:10:46,240
and continually work on it,
I think I should be alright.
229
00:10:51,920 --> 00:10:54,800
He's like a little chook that's been
on the run for a while, isn't he?
230
00:10:54,800 --> 00:10:58,040
Yes. Yes. And they do.
They run around a lot.
231
00:10:58,040 --> 00:11:00,200
STEPH: # Vino cotto. #
232
00:11:00,200 --> 00:11:01,920
I'm looking at the guinea fowl.
233
00:11:01,920 --> 00:11:04,320
You know, I was kind of tempted,
234
00:11:04,320 --> 00:11:07,160
but I'm just going to play
to my strength.
235
00:11:07,160 --> 00:11:13,200
Today I am going to make a pistachio
frangipane tart with a prune jam.
236
00:11:13,200 --> 00:11:16,360
When I saw Maggie Beer, I was like,
"Oh, we're going to get vegies."
237
00:11:17,960 --> 00:11:20,160
Which was great,
so I've cracked open the vegies.
238
00:11:20,160 --> 00:11:22,400
I love to put it in fruit.
239
00:11:22,400 --> 00:11:26,160
So, I'm doing my prune jam
and the vegies today as well.
240
00:11:27,720 --> 00:11:29,760
The prune jam is cooking.
241
00:11:29,760 --> 00:11:33,160
The next thing I need to do
is work on my tart base.
242
00:11:33,160 --> 00:11:36,120
With frangipane tart,
I kind of want different textures.
243
00:11:36,120 --> 00:11:37,840
I don't want it all to be the same.
244
00:11:37,840 --> 00:11:39,400
So I want a crispy shell,
245
00:11:39,400 --> 00:11:42,000
a really good layer of jam
in the centre,
246
00:11:42,000 --> 00:11:43,160
and on top of that
247
00:11:43,160 --> 00:11:47,840
just a really smooth and buttery
pistachio frangipane.
248
00:11:47,840 --> 00:11:50,160
There is a lot to do.
249
00:11:50,160 --> 00:11:54,080
No-one wants to go into a pressure
test, and I would love to avoid it.
250
00:11:54,080 --> 00:11:57,960
I'm just going to have to see
what happens and try to cook my best.
251
00:11:59,920 --> 00:12:01,720
Someone knows how to cook.
252
00:12:01,720 --> 00:12:06,280
I'm making a dessert samosa,
prune syrup
253
00:12:06,280 --> 00:12:08,720
and the pistachio ice-cream.
254
00:12:08,720 --> 00:12:10,440
I kind of want to have that play
255
00:12:10,440 --> 00:12:12,880
on what a traditional samosa
would look like,
256
00:12:12,880 --> 00:12:15,200
but the sweet version.
257
00:12:15,200 --> 00:12:16,760
MATT: Here we go.
258
00:12:16,760 --> 00:12:21,240
Today I'm going to do a guinea fowl
breast roasted on the crown,
259
00:12:21,240 --> 00:12:23,440
a prune sauce to go with that.
260
00:12:23,440 --> 00:12:24,880
(CHUCKLES)
261
00:12:24,880 --> 00:12:26,080
Where's the...?
262
00:12:27,080 --> 00:12:32,400
I'm making a steamed sort of custard
with eggplant and chickpeas harissa
263
00:12:32,400 --> 00:12:35,760
with caramelised vino cotto
and verjuice.
264
00:12:35,760 --> 00:12:37,440
Work in progress.
265
00:12:40,160 --> 00:12:42,720
(TIMER BEEPS)
Oh, shut...up.
266
00:12:46,120 --> 00:12:48,480
MONTANA: Sticking to my strengths
today is definitely important.
267
00:12:48,480 --> 00:12:50,160
There's a lot on the line.
268
00:12:50,160 --> 00:12:51,920
The competition
is getting a lot tougher.
269
00:12:51,920 --> 00:12:55,120
So, I'm cooking a rosemary ice-cream
with a prune cake
270
00:12:55,120 --> 00:12:58,080
and a pistachio praline
sort of crumb.
271
00:13:01,640 --> 00:13:03,640
I want to smash out something
that can keep me safe
272
00:13:03,640 --> 00:13:04,840
from tomorrow's pressure test.
273
00:13:06,680 --> 00:13:08,480
JOCK: Maggie, thanks for coming.
274
00:13:08,480 --> 00:13:10,920
And thanks for bringing
a few interesting ingredients
275
00:13:10,920 --> 00:13:12,120
from your pantry.
276
00:13:12,120 --> 00:13:16,080
We know that your style of cooking,
it all revolves around produce.
277
00:13:16,080 --> 00:13:17,800
That's never changed.
278
00:13:17,800 --> 00:13:19,520
But what's exciting to you right now?
279
00:13:19,520 --> 00:13:23,360
What's exciting me right now
is all these beautiful herbs,
280
00:13:23,360 --> 00:13:26,960
the chickpeas
and these beautiful capers.
281
00:13:26,960 --> 00:13:29,000
But game is my thing.
282
00:13:29,000 --> 00:13:32,240
You know, I have cooked
more pheasant and guinea fowl
283
00:13:32,240 --> 00:13:33,960
and partridge
284
00:13:33,960 --> 00:13:36,000
than I think
most people in Australia.
285
00:13:36,000 --> 00:13:37,600
I think you're right.
286
00:13:37,600 --> 00:13:40,320
And I think guinea fowl
is underrated.
287
00:13:40,320 --> 00:13:42,600
Honestly, I hate to say this,
288
00:13:42,600 --> 00:13:44,520
but I think it's sent them
into a bit of a spin.
289
00:13:44,520 --> 00:13:46,160
Anyone who's cooking guinea fowl
290
00:13:46,160 --> 00:13:48,880
just does not really know
how it's meant to be perfectly.
291
00:13:48,880 --> 00:13:50,880
Oh, just stay there for a minute.
292
00:13:50,880 --> 00:13:53,000
Have I made it too hard?
Oh, Maggie.
293
00:13:53,000 --> 00:13:55,240
They're in a bit of a tailspin
because you're here,
294
00:13:55,240 --> 00:13:56,920
and they don't
want to disappoint you.
295
00:14:01,120 --> 00:14:03,760
Man, I don't know what to do
with this bird.
296
00:14:03,760 --> 00:14:05,680
I'm a huge fan of Maggie Beer.
297
00:14:05,680 --> 00:14:08,360
I would like to do something
that would impress Maggie,
298
00:14:08,360 --> 00:14:11,080
but I feel flustered
just thinking about it.
299
00:14:12,320 --> 00:14:14,160
Hi, Melanie.
Hi, Jock.
300
00:14:14,160 --> 00:14:15,520
Mi, Maggie!
Hello, Melanie.
301
00:14:15,520 --> 00:14:17,920
Oh, I'm so glad
you're doing guinea fowl.
302
00:14:17,920 --> 00:14:19,560
That makes one of us.
303
00:14:19,560 --> 00:14:21,200
(LAUGHTER)
304
00:14:21,200 --> 00:14:22,480
What are you making?
What's the dish?
305
00:14:22,480 --> 00:14:25,000
So, I'm going to put a compound
butter under the skin
306
00:14:25,000 --> 00:14:27,520
of the marylands of the guinea fowl
and roast them off.
307
00:14:27,520 --> 00:14:29,560
I'm thinking about roasting
the eggplants as well.
308
00:14:29,560 --> 00:14:31,840
Going to make maybe a puree
with the chickpeas.
309
00:14:31,840 --> 00:14:34,200
What are you doing with the crown?
The crown?
310
00:14:34,200 --> 00:14:36,400
I'm not sure. It scares me.
OK.
311
00:14:36,400 --> 00:14:40,240
No, you just cut there
and then splay that down.
312
00:14:40,240 --> 00:14:42,360
Spread it down like a spatchcock.
313
00:14:42,360 --> 00:14:45,120
I feel really flustered
talking to Maggie.
314
00:14:45,120 --> 00:14:46,800
I'm starstruck.
315
00:14:46,800 --> 00:14:48,640
Put your butter
under the skin there, too.
316
00:14:48,640 --> 00:14:50,720
They cook at different levels.
317
00:14:50,720 --> 00:14:52,920
I'm listening
and I'm nodding along...
318
00:14:54,160 --> 00:14:55,920
..but I just feel like
nothing is going in.
319
00:14:55,920 --> 00:14:57,480
This is an important cook for you
320
00:14:57,480 --> 00:14:59,840
because you grew up
being inspired by Maggie, right?
321
00:14:59,840 --> 00:15:00,840
Yeah. Absolutely.
322
00:15:00,840 --> 00:15:02,520
Have courage.
Yeah.
323
00:15:02,520 --> 00:15:04,920
Cook with instinct.
OK. Alright.
324
00:15:04,920 --> 00:15:06,080
Good luck.
325
00:15:08,680 --> 00:15:11,480
My mind's just kind of blank.
They said cook instinctively.
326
00:15:11,480 --> 00:15:14,440
I don't know if they meant
for me to take it off.
327
00:15:15,600 --> 00:15:18,080
Only problem is, I still don't
know how to treat a guinea fowl.
328
00:15:18,080 --> 00:15:19,440
Don't know how to cook it.
329
00:15:20,440 --> 00:15:23,040
Oh, God, I don't know. I don't know.
330
00:15:23,040 --> 00:15:24,560
Oh, God, I'm shaking.
331
00:15:38,800 --> 00:15:40,680
I feet really flustered
talking to Maggie.
332
00:15:41,680 --> 00:15:43,440
The one thing that's
kind of sticking in my mind
333
00:15:43,440 --> 00:15:45,280
is that she said,
"Cook instinctively."
334
00:15:45,280 --> 00:15:48,720
So I'm just going to try and do that.
335
00:15:49,760 --> 00:15:53,040
I've separated the skin
from the meat of the guinea fowl,
336
00:15:53,040 --> 00:15:56,280
and I'm just forcing as much butter
in there as I can fit.
337
00:15:56,280 --> 00:15:59,760
All good, Mel?
Uh, I don't know. (CHUCKLES)
338
00:15:59,760 --> 00:16:02,120
I'm sure you're fine.
339
00:16:02,120 --> 00:16:05,160
I've got a probe in one of the
marylands, and I put it in the oven.
340
00:16:05,160 --> 00:16:06,360
(SIGHS)
341
00:16:06,360 --> 00:16:09,040
If I fail this, I'm probably going
into a pressure test.
342
00:16:10,760 --> 00:16:12,120
Pray to the guinea fowl gods.
343
00:16:12,760 --> 00:16:14,760
Lower temp... Stop!
344
00:16:17,400 --> 00:16:19,760
Maggie Beer's in the house.
Don't disappoint her.
345
00:16:19,760 --> 00:16:22,320
45 minutes to go!
Let's go, guys!
346
00:16:23,960 --> 00:16:26,840
MINDY: Right. Wowee. Here we go.
347
00:16:26,840 --> 00:16:29,560
I'm actually feeling quite confident
about today's cook.
348
00:16:29,560 --> 00:16:30,680
Wow.
349
00:16:30,680 --> 00:16:33,040
Maggie's mystery box
has made me realise
350
00:16:33,040 --> 00:16:36,640
that mystery boxes are really about
embracing the home cook,
351
00:16:36,640 --> 00:16:39,720
you know, focusing on that produce,
just like Maggie does.
352
00:16:39,720 --> 00:16:41,320
Mindy!
Hello.
353
00:16:41,320 --> 00:16:42,520
How are ya?
Hi, Mindy.
354
00:16:42,520 --> 00:16:44,520
Hey, Maggie! Welcome.
355
00:16:44,520 --> 00:16:45,640
Thank you.
Yeah.
356
00:16:45,640 --> 00:16:47,520
It's good to be here.
What are you doing?
357
00:16:47,520 --> 00:16:49,840
I'm doing eggplant
that's going to be stuffed
358
00:16:49,840 --> 00:16:51,880
with all these amazing ingredients
that you've given us.
359
00:16:51,880 --> 00:16:56,600
So I've got the pistachios, I've got
the capers, I've got crispy capers,
360
00:16:56,600 --> 00:17:00,200
I'm making a prune
and paprika dressing.
361
00:17:00,200 --> 00:17:01,680
But this is so much fun.
362
00:17:01,680 --> 00:17:04,120
Just having you here has just
brought a smile to my face, so...
363
00:17:04,120 --> 00:17:05,720
Oh, well, I'm thrilled.
364
00:17:05,720 --> 00:17:07,760
Even though you haven't tackled
the guinea fowl,
365
00:17:07,760 --> 00:17:09,160
you've tackled everything else.
366
00:17:09,160 --> 00:17:10,920
It's my kind of food.
367
00:17:10,920 --> 00:17:13,600
Bitterness, acidity, balance.
Yeah.
368
00:17:13,600 --> 00:17:16,840
Always about balance, and also
layers of texture as well.
369
00:17:16,840 --> 00:17:17,840
Totally.
370
00:17:17,840 --> 00:17:19,560
Sounds like you're
onto a winner, Mindy.
Yes.
371
00:17:19,560 --> 00:17:21,120
Thanks, guys.
Good luck.
372
00:17:22,440 --> 00:17:24,200
Oh, my God. I just love her.
Seriously.
373
00:17:24,200 --> 00:17:26,720
SARAH: She's amazing.
She's so good.
374
00:17:26,720 --> 00:17:28,960
When I cook at home, I love it.
I cook from joy.
375
00:17:28,960 --> 00:17:31,320
And I love cooking for people,
and I love cooking for family.
376
00:17:31,320 --> 00:17:33,680
And Maggie Beer
is like MasterChef family.
377
00:17:33,680 --> 00:17:36,440
So if I can layer the flavours,
378
00:17:36,440 --> 00:17:40,080
bring a dish that I would be...
happily serve her at my house,
379
00:17:40,080 --> 00:17:41,880
that's all I want to do today.
380
00:17:46,040 --> 00:17:47,400
What are you doing
with your chickpeas?
381
00:17:47,400 --> 00:17:50,600
Roasting some off with some spice,
seeing what happens.
382
00:17:50,600 --> 00:17:53,560
So, I'm going to roast
the guinea fowl with a stuffing
383
00:17:53,560 --> 00:17:56,920
of pistachio, the chickpeas,
the capers and prunes.
384
00:17:58,080 --> 00:17:59,760
I'm just sort of going to
treat it a bit like chicken
385
00:17:59,760 --> 00:18:01,520
and hope for the best.
386
00:18:01,520 --> 00:18:03,360
For my stuffing, I'm going to use
387
00:18:03,360 --> 00:18:06,400
prunes for the sweetness,
capers, acidity,
388
00:18:06,400 --> 00:18:09,080
pistachios, some butter and stuff
just to keep it moist
389
00:18:09,080 --> 00:18:11,440
and the chickpeas
to be essentially the body.
390
00:18:11,440 --> 00:18:14,760
But I've never cooked raw chickpeas,
so I'm a bit unsure.
391
00:18:14,760 --> 00:18:17,440
I'm just going to
stuff the guinea fowl with it
392
00:18:17,440 --> 00:18:18,960
and let it cook in the oven.
393
00:18:20,400 --> 00:18:22,240
Cook, my pretty. Cook!
394
00:18:22,240 --> 00:18:23,640
I've got a bit of a bad track record
395
00:18:23,640 --> 00:18:24,960
of undercooking things
at the moment,
396
00:18:24,960 --> 00:18:27,600
so let's hope that
I don't overcook it now.
397
00:18:32,000 --> 00:18:35,200
SARAH: Got my dough
for my dessert samosa
398
00:18:35,200 --> 00:18:38,840
and now I'm just moving on
to the pistachio ice-cream.
399
00:18:38,840 --> 00:18:39,960
(SIGHS)
400
00:18:39,960 --> 00:18:42,920
I'm just worried about
the balance in the flavours.
401
00:18:42,920 --> 00:18:46,840
Hopefully, it all comes together
nicely and the judges like it.
402
00:18:46,840 --> 00:18:48,880
I'm just glad no-one
has to go home today.
403
00:18:48,880 --> 00:18:50,600
(LAUGHS) That's true.
I hate that.
404
00:18:52,160 --> 00:18:56,120
BILLIE: I'm on the fly here,
holding my swear words away.
405
00:18:57,160 --> 00:18:59,800
I definitely feel
a little bit off today.
406
00:18:59,800 --> 00:19:01,840
The fact that
we have to really fight
407
00:19:01,840 --> 00:19:04,320
for our own place now
in the competition -
408
00:19:04,320 --> 00:19:06,400
the stakes have risen.
409
00:19:06,400 --> 00:19:07,920
It's thrown me a little bit.
410
00:19:07,920 --> 00:19:09,880
I'm not feeling as confident.
411
00:19:09,880 --> 00:19:11,920
Never used guinea fowl before.
412
00:19:11,920 --> 00:19:14,480
I'm doing the legs in the
pressure cooker, just quickly...
413
00:19:15,480 --> 00:19:17,400
..and some nice sides.
414
00:19:17,400 --> 00:19:20,760
So, using the chickpeas,
using the herbs -
415
00:19:20,760 --> 00:19:23,720
just attempting
to make something half-decent.
416
00:19:25,120 --> 00:19:28,080
Oh, I bloody hope
it all sort of comes together.
417
00:19:28,080 --> 00:19:30,840
I don't want to be in a
pressure test, so...here's hoping.
418
00:19:34,160 --> 00:19:36,240
ANDY: Maggie brought us
some top ingredients.
419
00:19:36,240 --> 00:19:37,640
Don't bring us a bottom-four dish.
420
00:19:37,640 --> 00:19:39,360
You've got 30 minutes to go.
421
00:19:46,800 --> 00:19:49,000
ALDO: Have you got a tongs?
Have you got one?
422
00:19:49,000 --> 00:19:51,360
MINDY: Uh, I've got one.
I'll come back for that.
423
00:19:51,360 --> 00:19:53,160
There you are.
Thank you.
424
00:19:53,160 --> 00:19:55,280
Today, definitely,
the pressure is on.
425
00:19:55,280 --> 00:19:56,760
(SIGHS) It's Maggie Beer,
426
00:19:56,760 --> 00:20:00,520
and I need to live to the
expectation that she's got,
427
00:20:00,520 --> 00:20:02,240
especially on myself.
428
00:20:02,240 --> 00:20:04,200
Thanks, my love.
429
00:20:04,200 --> 00:20:06,840
But for my stuffed eggplant,
430
00:20:06,840 --> 00:20:10,240
I'm happy with the way
that everything looks so far.
431
00:20:10,240 --> 00:20:12,040
Beautiful.
432
00:20:12,040 --> 00:20:14,240
The eggplant on the bottom
in the oven.
433
00:20:15,520 --> 00:20:19,520
For my beautiful filling,
the mixture is looking great.
434
00:20:19,520 --> 00:20:21,240
It's a classic Sicilian style.
435
00:20:21,240 --> 00:20:25,600
I've got my ricotta going,
capers, prunes and pistachios.
436
00:20:25,600 --> 00:20:28,040
But now I need
to finish the dressing
437
00:20:28,040 --> 00:20:30,240
that goes on top of the eggplant.
438
00:20:31,800 --> 00:20:33,760
Let's go, let's go, let's go.
439
00:20:33,760 --> 00:20:35,960
I'm going to use
her favourite verjus,
440
00:20:35,960 --> 00:20:38,480
just to get the acidity
which this dish needs.
441
00:20:39,840 --> 00:20:40,920
Try this.
442
00:20:42,640 --> 00:20:44,360
Will I add a bit more verjus?
443
00:20:45,400 --> 00:20:46,560
Mm...
444
00:20:46,560 --> 00:20:49,880
All my attention
has to be just focused on
445
00:20:49,880 --> 00:20:52,880
to deliver this great food
today for Maggie.
446
00:20:57,480 --> 00:21:01,080
So, the pastry for my tart,
the pistachio frangipane,
447
00:21:01,080 --> 00:21:03,320
and the prune jam is done,
448
00:21:03,320 --> 00:21:05,360
and I'm quite happy
with how that's taken.
449
00:21:05,360 --> 00:21:09,720
But all the elements I've made took
a little bit longer than I wanted.
450
00:21:09,720 --> 00:21:11,920
TOMMY: Good luck, tart lady!
(LAUGHS)
451
00:21:11,920 --> 00:21:15,080
So I'm rushing
to get the tart into the oven.
452
00:21:15,080 --> 00:21:18,440
It's going to take
at least 25 minutes to bake.
453
00:21:19,920 --> 00:21:21,720
This may be trouble.
454
00:21:21,720 --> 00:21:23,080
Ooh.
455
00:21:25,440 --> 00:21:28,120
Hi.
Come on, show me what's going on.
456
00:21:28,120 --> 00:21:29,480
I'm actually feeling nervous.
457
00:21:29,480 --> 00:21:31,160
About it setting?
Yeah.
458
00:21:31,160 --> 00:21:33,280
Oh, man.
459
00:21:33,280 --> 00:21:36,120
I'm, like...I'm upset.
Don't...
460
00:21:36,120 --> 00:21:37,600
Because, if that doesn't set,
461
00:21:37,600 --> 00:21:40,160
you will automatically be
in the bottom four.
462
00:21:41,240 --> 00:21:43,120
Good luck.
Thank you.
463
00:21:43,120 --> 00:21:45,680
I am anxious, waiting by the oven.
464
00:21:45,680 --> 00:21:47,160
God.
465
00:21:47,160 --> 00:21:49,000
I wish that,
the longer I stare at it,
466
00:21:49,000 --> 00:21:52,680
it would just somehow
come together really quickly.
467
00:21:52,680 --> 00:21:54,520
It's making me sick.
468
00:22:10,280 --> 00:22:13,480
Feeling great. Feeling great.
469
00:22:16,920 --> 00:22:19,040
What's that?
HARRY: Agrodolce.
470
00:22:19,040 --> 00:22:20,200
Yeah, nice.
471
00:22:20,200 --> 00:22:22,640
I'm actually in a pretty good
position today. Don't jinx it.
472
00:22:22,640 --> 00:22:24,480
(KNOCKS ON BENCH)
Touch all the wood.
473
00:22:25,760 --> 00:22:27,520
Harry.
Hello!
474
00:22:27,520 --> 00:22:29,280
How are you?
Hello!
475
00:22:29,280 --> 00:22:31,320
Nice to meet you.
476
00:22:31,320 --> 00:22:33,040
Good to meet you.
What's the dish?
477
00:22:33,040 --> 00:22:34,360
I've got some roast eggplant
478
00:22:34,360 --> 00:22:38,040
and I'm going to be serving that
with my take on Jock's agrodolce...
479
00:22:38,040 --> 00:22:40,400
Awesome.
..and a parsley salad.
480
00:22:40,400 --> 00:22:42,760
I'm just trying to balance
this agrodolce at the moment
481
00:22:42,760 --> 00:22:43,920
to add bitterness.
482
00:22:43,920 --> 00:22:47,680
It's really hard to get it,
like, right on the edge.
483
00:22:47,680 --> 00:22:49,240
Prunes and capers?
484
00:22:49,240 --> 00:22:50,920
Prunes, capers, pistachios...
485
00:22:50,920 --> 00:22:53,040
The whole lot?
..verjuice, vino cotto...
486
00:22:53,040 --> 00:22:56,240
OK. The vino cotto is wonderful,
and prunes are wonderful,
487
00:22:56,240 --> 00:22:57,800
but it can be sweet-sweet.
Yeah.
488
00:22:57,800 --> 00:23:00,280
So, yes, your bitterness -
you're on the right path...
489
00:23:00,280 --> 00:23:01,760
Yep.
..but really push it.
490
00:23:01,760 --> 00:23:02,920
OK. Will do.
Good luck.
491
00:23:02,920 --> 00:23:04,280
Thank you so much.
492
00:23:04,280 --> 00:23:07,320
Without that level of bitterness,
it's going to be too sweet
493
00:23:07,320 --> 00:23:09,800
and won't hit every little point
that you want it to.
494
00:23:11,920 --> 00:23:17,600
I have multiple roasted eggplants
and I don't need all of them.
495
00:23:19,560 --> 00:23:21,080
Let's burn this.
496
00:23:21,080 --> 00:23:24,520
So I'm going to stick
two of them back in the oven
497
00:23:24,520 --> 00:23:26,520
and completely burn the skins.
498
00:23:26,520 --> 00:23:28,360
And then I'll put that
into the agrodolce
499
00:23:28,360 --> 00:23:29,920
to try and add some bitterness.
500
00:23:29,920 --> 00:23:31,480
Burn, goddamn you! Burn!
501
00:23:31,480 --> 00:23:34,600
And hopefully, that will
balance out my agrodolce.
502
00:23:36,960 --> 00:23:39,000
You've only got 10 minutes to go!
503
00:23:39,000 --> 00:23:40,600
Come on!
ANDY: Come on, guys!
504
00:23:45,080 --> 00:23:47,320
MELANIE: I don't know, Dan.
Is she cooked? (LAUGHS)
505
00:23:48,600 --> 00:23:50,280
The guinea fowl is out of the oven
506
00:23:50,280 --> 00:23:52,040
and I don't know
if it's cooked right.
507
00:23:52,040 --> 00:23:54,960
But I really want to try
and trust my instincts.
508
00:23:54,960 --> 00:23:56,600
Mel.
Hey, Andy.
509
00:23:56,600 --> 00:23:58,880
How you travelling?
OK, I think.
510
00:23:58,880 --> 00:24:00,960
(INHALES SHARPLY)
What are we at here?
511
00:24:00,960 --> 00:24:02,400
Um, it's currently at 62.
512
00:24:02,400 --> 00:24:04,760
Hoping to rest it up
a couple more degrees.
513
00:24:04,760 --> 00:24:07,720
Get it there. You just don't want
to be in that bottom four.
514
00:24:07,720 --> 00:24:10,280
I'm very anxious about
overcooking this guinea fowl,
515
00:24:10,280 --> 00:24:12,800
so I'm very wary
of applying more heat to it.
516
00:24:12,800 --> 00:24:14,440
See what it rests up to.
517
00:24:14,440 --> 00:24:16,840
I want it to finish
around 64 degrees,
518
00:24:16,840 --> 00:24:20,080
but it got to 62 degrees
and it stopped there.
519
00:24:20,080 --> 00:24:22,240
I don't know if I'd say
it's going to plan.
520
00:24:27,760 --> 00:24:30,040
MINDY: Come on. Boil, water! Boil!
521
00:24:30,040 --> 00:24:32,400
I've managed to jam-pack in
so much flavour
522
00:24:32,400 --> 00:24:34,760
into my roast eggplant
and chickpea salad.
523
00:24:34,760 --> 00:24:36,200
I've got my chickpea cream.
524
00:24:36,200 --> 00:24:38,520
I've got those beautiful
caramelised eggplants.
525
00:24:38,520 --> 00:24:41,080
I'm doing my little
chickpea and herb salad on the side.
526
00:24:41,080 --> 00:24:42,760
I've got my capers in there.
527
00:24:42,760 --> 00:24:43,880
And then that herb oil,
528
00:24:43,880 --> 00:24:46,400
which is going to tie
all the ingredients together.
529
00:24:46,400 --> 00:24:48,520
Mindy.
Hey, girlfriend!
530
00:24:48,520 --> 00:24:50,040
Uh... Hey!
531
00:24:50,040 --> 00:24:52,280
I've got all my beautiful
bits and pieces ready to go.
532
00:24:52,280 --> 00:24:53,520
Looking very good.
533
00:24:53,520 --> 00:24:56,000
And are you confident
this is sure-fire...
534
00:24:56,000 --> 00:24:58,520
I'm just having fun,
you know what I mean?
..safe, delicious...?
535
00:24:58,520 --> 00:25:00,920
I had this moment where I realised,
"Cook like you cook at home."
536
00:25:00,920 --> 00:25:02,440
Yeah. Absolutely.
You know what I mean?
537
00:25:02,440 --> 00:25:04,200
Like, it was like this
light-bulb kind of moment.
538
00:25:04,200 --> 00:25:06,720
And I just...when I cook like this
and I love what I do,
539
00:25:06,720 --> 00:25:08,880
I just...I don't know, it works.
540
00:25:08,880 --> 00:25:11,000
Here's hoping all of those
flavours come together.
541
00:25:11,000 --> 00:25:12,600
Prep looks great.
Great. Thanks, Mel.
542
00:25:12,600 --> 00:25:15,880
Now I just need to mix all of those
different elements together.
543
00:25:15,880 --> 00:25:18,400
Fingers crossed,
Maggie's going to love it.
544
00:25:18,400 --> 00:25:21,120
SARAH: That looks yum, Mindy.
Let's hope we get there, hey?
545
00:25:22,120 --> 00:25:24,320
Just...I just...I am mesmerised.
546
00:25:24,320 --> 00:25:26,920
BILLIE: Oh, I'm still
feeling a bit off.
547
00:25:28,040 --> 00:25:30,880
I've had my guinea fowl
braising in the pressure cooker
548
00:25:30,880 --> 00:25:34,240
and I'm not sure about the cook.
549
00:25:34,240 --> 00:25:35,720
I'm hoping that it's OK.
550
00:25:37,000 --> 00:25:38,520
I dunno.
551
00:25:38,520 --> 00:25:43,120
On my bench, there's a lot of sort of
stuff that I'm not sure I'll use.
552
00:25:44,240 --> 00:25:46,200
Hey, Billie.
Hey, Andy.
553
00:25:46,200 --> 00:25:47,320
Where are we at?
554
00:25:47,320 --> 00:25:49,800
Good... I've got the breast
of the guinea fowl,
555
00:25:49,800 --> 00:25:51,440
the leg of the guinea fowl.
Yep.
556
00:25:51,440 --> 00:25:53,880
I'm making a sauce.
Uh-huh.
557
00:25:53,880 --> 00:25:55,600
What's...what...
what's this little guy?
558
00:25:55,600 --> 00:25:57,440
Oh, that's...yeah, nothing.
559
00:25:57,440 --> 00:25:58,800
Is it all coming together?
Yeah.
560
00:25:58,800 --> 00:26:00,880
You look a little... I dunno.
Yeah it's just...
561
00:26:00,880 --> 00:26:02,680
"That might go on, this may go on -
562
00:26:02,680 --> 00:26:05,440
"I'm not really sure
where it's going to get to."
I do actually have a lot of that.
563
00:26:05,440 --> 00:26:06,800
Well, I'm going to
leave you with it,
564
00:26:06,800 --> 00:26:08,480
'cause you've got
a few decisions to make.
565
00:26:08,480 --> 00:26:10,760
Good luck, Billie.
Thanks, Andy.
566
00:26:10,760 --> 00:26:12,920
MEL: Five minutes to go!
567
00:26:12,920 --> 00:26:14,560
Time's gone fast.
568
00:26:24,040 --> 00:26:25,320
You good?
569
00:26:26,880 --> 00:26:30,000
Um, I've just gotta finish
balancing my prune sauce now
570
00:26:30,000 --> 00:26:31,880
and finish my chickpeas.
571
00:26:31,880 --> 00:26:34,640
But the guinea fowl is looking good,
which is the main component.
572
00:26:37,560 --> 00:26:40,480
How hard should chickpeas be?
They should be quite soft, eh?
573
00:26:40,480 --> 00:26:42,440
Um, yeah.
574
00:26:44,040 --> 00:26:46,400
I hope you're right at the very last
575
00:26:46,400 --> 00:26:48,200
and you know
exactly what you're doing,
576
00:26:48,200 --> 00:26:50,720
but you've only got three minutes
to make it happen.
577
00:26:50,720 --> 00:26:53,360
Come on, guys! Three minutes!
Three minutes!
578
00:26:56,840 --> 00:26:58,440
MONTANA: I'm really happy
with the flavours
579
00:26:58,440 --> 00:27:01,280
in the prune cake
and rosemary ice-cream.
580
00:27:01,280 --> 00:27:04,240
I've just got to make sure my
quantities on the plate are perfect.
581
00:27:04,240 --> 00:27:06,080
DANIEL: Cook, my pretty! Cook!
582
00:27:06,080 --> 00:27:07,520
I'm feeling good.
583
00:27:07,520 --> 00:27:09,080
I've managed to make a prune sauce
584
00:27:09,080 --> 00:27:11,760
and my guinea fowl is ready
to take out of the oven.
585
00:27:11,760 --> 00:27:13,240
It's hard now I've
got this in the oven.
586
00:27:13,240 --> 00:27:15,240
I'm just sort of
standing around, eh.
Yeah. (LAUGHS)
587
00:27:15,240 --> 00:27:18,080
I want to pull it out,
giving it enough time
588
00:27:18,080 --> 00:27:21,520
to climb up in temperature
to about 63 to 65 degrees.
589
00:27:22,600 --> 00:27:25,720
I'm going to serve the chickpea
stuffing next to the bird.
590
00:27:25,720 --> 00:27:27,720
Just wanted to give it
a quick taste with everything else
591
00:27:27,720 --> 00:27:29,200
to be sure that I'm
on the right track.
592
00:27:29,200 --> 00:27:31,960
Are they supposed to be
this crunchy, you reckon?
593
00:27:31,960 --> 00:27:33,240
Or no?
594
00:27:33,240 --> 00:27:35,360
I'd say they're a bit under.
Yeah.
595
00:27:35,360 --> 00:27:38,600
The chickpeas haven't
cooked through, and it's...
596
00:27:38,600 --> 00:27:40,440
..quite gross.
597
00:27:41,680 --> 00:27:43,520
I'm not happy with the stuffing,
598
00:27:43,520 --> 00:27:45,440
but if I take that off the board,
599
00:27:45,440 --> 00:27:47,720
I've only got
the roast bird and a sauce,
600
00:27:47,720 --> 00:27:50,320
and I don't have any time
to make anything else.
601
00:27:51,920 --> 00:27:53,400
I'm sitting there at a crossroads
602
00:27:53,400 --> 00:27:55,200
and I have to make
that right decision.
603
00:28:12,080 --> 00:28:14,840
The chickpeas for my stuffing
haven't cooked through.
604
00:28:17,000 --> 00:28:19,280
But I'm trying to impress Maggie,
605
00:28:19,280 --> 00:28:22,160
so I have to make
that right decision.
606
00:28:22,160 --> 00:28:23,920
I can't bring myself to serve it.
607
00:28:23,920 --> 00:28:26,400
I'm going to take them off.
608
00:28:26,400 --> 00:28:30,480
It's painful, but it's better
than serving it to the judges.
609
00:28:30,480 --> 00:28:32,640
It all comes down to
how well the bird is cooked.
610
00:28:34,560 --> 00:28:36,160
I think I've done alright.
611
00:28:36,160 --> 00:28:37,480
I'm quite happy with that.
612
00:28:37,480 --> 00:28:39,560
I carve off the breast
of this guinea fowl.
613
00:28:39,560 --> 00:28:40,960
The legs are there, too.
614
00:28:40,960 --> 00:28:41,960
It's very moist.
615
00:28:41,960 --> 00:28:43,240
I've got nothing else
on this platter,
616
00:28:43,240 --> 00:28:45,800
so I may as well give them as much
of the guinea fowl as I can.
617
00:28:46,800 --> 00:28:48,800
Hopefully, that's enough
to keep me from the bottom four.
618
00:28:48,800 --> 00:28:50,440
JOCK: Get your dishes on the plate.
619
00:28:50,440 --> 00:28:52,680
You've only got two minutes to go!
Come on!
620
00:28:56,560 --> 00:28:58,840
That looks...
that looks cooked, right?
621
00:28:58,840 --> 00:29:00,400
The guinea fowl is rested.
622
00:29:00,400 --> 00:29:01,920
I don't know if it's cooked right.
623
00:29:01,920 --> 00:29:03,760
But there's not a whole lot
I can do about it now.
624
00:29:03,760 --> 00:29:05,440
Sorry, Dan, just watch your elbows.
625
00:29:05,440 --> 00:29:07,920
I put some of the chickpea mash
on the plate.
626
00:29:07,920 --> 00:29:10,520
My roasted eggplant.
627
00:29:10,520 --> 00:29:12,280
I know this isn't my best dish,
628
00:29:12,280 --> 00:29:15,640
but I don't know
how good or how bad it is.
629
00:29:17,920 --> 00:29:19,680
HARRY: Oop!
630
00:29:19,680 --> 00:29:22,800
Finally, the agrodolce
tastes balanced,
631
00:29:22,800 --> 00:29:25,320
but I think I've cooked it too far.
632
00:29:25,320 --> 00:29:28,440
The agrodolce is really tight
and almost jammy.
633
00:29:29,720 --> 00:29:31,200
That's all I have to put on my dish,
634
00:29:31,200 --> 00:29:33,600
so I'm just going to have to
go with it.
635
00:29:33,600 --> 00:29:36,640
Here we go, gang!
You've got 60 seconds!
636
00:29:43,360 --> 00:29:45,520
I am really nervous about this tart.
637
00:29:45,520 --> 00:29:47,000
Hot!
638
00:29:48,400 --> 00:29:51,320
I don't know if it's cooked through.
639
00:29:51,320 --> 00:29:54,160
If this tart is not cooked properly,
640
00:29:54,160 --> 00:29:57,000
this is definitely my ticket
into the bottom four.
641
00:29:57,000 --> 00:29:58,560
Oh, my God, I hope she works.
642
00:29:59,760 --> 00:30:01,000
That looks nice.
643
00:30:01,000 --> 00:30:02,680
Yeah, I don't know
what I'm going to do here.
644
00:30:02,680 --> 00:30:05,720
I'm still feeling
a bit weird about this dish,
645
00:30:05,720 --> 00:30:08,200
but I just need to get it done.
646
00:30:09,680 --> 00:30:13,440
30 seconds!
JOCK: There it is!
647
00:30:18,000 --> 00:30:20,600
Alrighty, then! Ten!
648
00:30:20,600 --> 00:30:24,920
JUDGES: Nine! Eight! Seven! Six!
649
00:30:24,920 --> 00:30:29,880
Five! Four! Three! Two! One!
650
00:30:29,880 --> 00:30:31,640
That's it!
MEL: Whoo!
651
00:30:31,640 --> 00:30:33,960
ANDY: Well done, guys!
(JUDGES APPLAUD)
652
00:30:38,040 --> 00:30:40,520
SARAH: We've got to be set, guys.
ALDO: Well done.
MINDY: We will be.
653
00:30:40,520 --> 00:30:42,040
Epic. Epic.
Well done.
654
00:30:46,800 --> 00:30:50,520
Well, with the legend Maggie Beer
in the house today,
655
00:30:50,520 --> 00:30:54,120
it was all about turning what looked
like a very simple mystery box
656
00:30:54,120 --> 00:30:57,000
into something extraordinary.
657
00:30:57,000 --> 00:30:59,640
And the first dish
that we'd like to taste -
658
00:30:59,640 --> 00:31:01,560
Mindy.
659
00:31:03,680 --> 00:31:07,240
MINDY: I felt so great to be cooking
as if I was cooking at home,
660
00:31:07,240 --> 00:31:09,680
cooking for someone
that I love and adore.
661
00:31:09,680 --> 00:31:12,480
And I really hope that shows
in my cook today.
662
00:31:15,920 --> 00:31:18,800
I've managed to use most
of those incredible ingredients
663
00:31:18,800 --> 00:31:21,200
that you had in your
mystery box, Maggie,
664
00:31:21,200 --> 00:31:23,880
and I made roast eggplant salad.
665
00:31:26,840 --> 00:31:29,960
I hope it's full of flavour for you.
Thank you, Mindy.
666
00:31:48,440 --> 00:31:50,960
Well, the chickpeas are beautiful,
667
00:31:50,960 --> 00:31:54,040
that infused flavour
that you've given,
668
00:31:54,040 --> 00:31:59,560
your balance of your bitterness
and acidity and creaminess.
669
00:31:59,560 --> 00:32:01,400
It's a fabulous dish.
670
00:32:02,800 --> 00:32:05,480
Whatever you did,
whatever inspiration that you had -
671
00:32:05,480 --> 00:32:08,440
and I know we can't have Maggie
in here all the time -
672
00:32:08,440 --> 00:32:11,400
but in terms of the ingredients,
just continue to go there.
673
00:32:12,400 --> 00:32:13,600
Honestly, that's right up there
674
00:32:13,600 --> 00:32:15,880
with one of the best things you've
cooked in the competition so far.
675
00:32:15,880 --> 00:32:17,520
Thank you so much.
Nice one, Mindy.
676
00:32:17,520 --> 00:32:19,600
Well done, Mindy.
It means a lot.
677
00:32:24,600 --> 00:32:26,280
Next up, Steph.
678
00:32:34,760 --> 00:32:37,120
OK, Steph, you've cooked a tart.
679
00:32:37,120 --> 00:32:38,840
But what kind of tart is it?
680
00:32:38,840 --> 00:32:43,240
Um, so, it's a pistachio
frangipane and prune tart,
681
00:32:43,240 --> 00:32:46,800
pistachio cream
and pistachio praline.
682
00:32:48,080 --> 00:32:49,080
Is it cooked?
683
00:32:49,080 --> 00:32:51,360
'Cause that was, like, the big thing
when I came around to your bench.
684
00:32:51,360 --> 00:32:52,640
I think it's cooked.
685
00:32:53,960 --> 00:32:55,520
Cool.
686
00:32:55,520 --> 00:32:57,280
Well, let's taste.
687
00:33:16,560 --> 00:33:17,800
Um...
688
00:33:17,800 --> 00:33:20,920
I really dig that prune jam,
that layer of prune jam.
689
00:33:20,920 --> 00:33:22,720
I thought that that was
really nicely done,
690
00:33:22,720 --> 00:33:25,240
especially when you only had
a couple of sweet things
691
00:33:25,240 --> 00:33:27,680
to work with in the mystery box.
692
00:33:28,840 --> 00:33:31,200
Um, the pistachio frangipane...
693
00:33:32,480 --> 00:33:34,520
..is, like, JUST cooked.
694
00:33:34,520 --> 00:33:37,360
Like, very fine line there, Steph.
695
00:33:37,360 --> 00:33:38,840
Yep.
696
00:33:38,840 --> 00:33:43,240
I love that the pistachio's
only just cooked,
697
00:33:43,240 --> 00:33:44,880
because it's so moist.
698
00:33:44,880 --> 00:33:50,120
You know, it can so often
go over and become dry.
699
00:33:50,120 --> 00:33:52,200
The prune is fabulous.
700
00:33:54,000 --> 00:33:59,520
Do you know, my only trouble with it
is the Chantilly cream - too much.
701
00:33:59,520 --> 00:34:00,600
Yeah.
702
00:34:00,600 --> 00:34:02,920
Jock doesn't feel the same way,
I can tell.
703
00:34:02,920 --> 00:34:04,800
(LAUGHTER)
He's going to steal you cream.
704
00:34:06,080 --> 00:34:09,440
So, the...the flavours...
705
00:34:09,440 --> 00:34:10,800
..the flavours are fantas...
706
00:34:10,800 --> 00:34:13,560
Oh, you did! (LAUGHS)
707
00:34:13,560 --> 00:34:16,600
I did offer it to him a minute ago.
708
00:34:16,600 --> 00:34:19,440
I really enjoyed it.
Thank you.
709
00:34:19,440 --> 00:34:21,520
Thank you, Steph.
Thank you.
710
00:34:21,520 --> 00:34:23,400
MINDY: Good job, Steph.
Thank you!
711
00:34:27,760 --> 00:34:29,560
JOCK: Harry, you're next.
712
00:34:36,440 --> 00:34:38,160
HARRY: Walking my dish
up to the judges,
713
00:34:38,160 --> 00:34:40,120
I'm not feeling confident.
714
00:34:40,120 --> 00:34:41,720
I want my agrodolce to be
715
00:34:41,720 --> 00:34:44,840
like the one Jock made
in our MasterClass the other day,
716
00:34:44,840 --> 00:34:47,880
but it's not exactly how
I thought it was going to look.
717
00:34:50,880 --> 00:34:52,720
God, it's really, like, jammed up.
(LAUGHS)
718
00:35:04,080 --> 00:35:06,720
and delicious exclusives, at:
719
00:35:18,280 --> 00:35:20,160
HARRY: God, it's really, like,
jammed up.
720
00:35:20,160 --> 00:35:21,320
(MAGGIE LAUGHS)
721
00:35:25,360 --> 00:35:27,280
Harry, what have you cooked us?
722
00:35:27,280 --> 00:35:31,680
I've cooked some oven roast eggplant
with a prune agrodolce
723
00:35:31,680 --> 00:35:33,800
and just a little parsley salad.
724
00:35:55,560 --> 00:36:00,960
The agrodolce - you managed to get
a good balance of flavours in there.
725
00:36:00,960 --> 00:36:04,760
Like, it is sweet, is sour,
there is some bitterness in there.
726
00:36:04,760 --> 00:36:08,160
But it's cooked down to the point
where it's solidified
727
00:36:08,160 --> 00:36:10,320
and it kind of just sticks
to your teeth.
728
00:36:10,320 --> 00:36:13,200
The main part of this, which is
the roast eggplant,
729
00:36:13,200 --> 00:36:15,720
is really, really underseasoned.
730
00:36:15,720 --> 00:36:17,200
Yep.
731
00:36:18,960 --> 00:36:20,400
Can I disagree with you?
732
00:36:20,400 --> 00:36:21,680
Of course you can.
Yeah.
733
00:36:23,080 --> 00:36:27,440
Of the eggplant, I got the smallest
one that was more burnished.
734
00:36:27,440 --> 00:36:31,080
And if you get a thinner one and
you get that caramelisation on it,
735
00:36:31,080 --> 00:36:32,520
which you have on mine...
736
00:36:34,840 --> 00:36:40,960
But the roasted eggplant has been
sort of overtaken by your Vegemite.
737
00:36:40,960 --> 00:36:42,040
Yeah.
738
00:36:43,440 --> 00:36:44,880
Have a better day next.
739
00:36:44,880 --> 00:36:45,880
Thank you.
740
00:36:45,880 --> 00:36:47,120
Thank you.
ANDY: Thanks, Harry.
741
00:36:47,120 --> 00:36:49,000
(APPLAUSE)
742
00:36:51,880 --> 00:36:53,000
Wow.
743
00:36:53,000 --> 00:36:55,120
Nah, I knew. It's fine.
744
00:36:55,120 --> 00:36:56,480
Told ya.
745
00:36:56,480 --> 00:36:58,560
Next up, Montana.
746
00:37:00,160 --> 00:37:03,600
So, it is a prune cake
with rosemary ice-cream,
747
00:37:03,600 --> 00:37:06,800
a caramel and verjuice granita.
748
00:37:06,800 --> 00:37:08,360
MEL: The flavours are really lovely.
749
00:37:08,360 --> 00:37:11,800
And the combination of the
ice-cream, cake, the caramel
750
00:37:11,800 --> 00:37:15,000
and then that granita, I think
it was a clever strategy.
751
00:37:15,000 --> 00:37:16,800
I think you've done
a nice dish of food.
752
00:37:16,800 --> 00:37:17,880
Thank you, guys. Thank you.
753
00:37:17,880 --> 00:37:20,120
The next dish we'd like to taste
belongs to Alvin.
754
00:37:22,840 --> 00:37:27,360
ALVIN: I made a savoury custard
with eggplant and parsley oil.
755
00:37:28,520 --> 00:37:29,800
Alvin, I quite liked it.
756
00:37:29,800 --> 00:37:31,120
Oh, my God.
757
00:37:31,120 --> 00:37:34,560
I could see it
on a modern Asian menu.
758
00:37:34,560 --> 00:37:35,680
Thank you.
759
00:37:35,680 --> 00:37:38,120
The next dish we'd like to taste
belongs to Sarah.
760
00:37:41,040 --> 00:37:44,840
SARAH: I've made a sweet samosa
with a pistachio ice-cream.
761
00:37:44,840 --> 00:37:49,960
Sarah, that pistachio, that
roundness in the mouth is fantastic.
762
00:37:51,320 --> 00:37:54,400
And that ice-cream I'd go miles for.
763
00:37:54,400 --> 00:37:55,920
Thank you.
764
00:37:55,920 --> 00:37:57,880
Next up, it's you, Matt.
765
00:37:57,880 --> 00:38:03,200
I cooked you roast guinea fowl
with chickpea and prune.
766
00:38:03,200 --> 00:38:06,600
That guinea fowl leg has got
so much going for it.
767
00:38:06,600 --> 00:38:12,120
And I love the sauce, but
the sweetness is just over the edge.
768
00:38:12,120 --> 00:38:14,840
Yep.
And the chickpeas are undercooked.
769
00:38:14,840 --> 00:38:17,400
Sure.
JUDGES: Thanks, Matt.
770
00:38:18,480 --> 00:38:20,560
Chickpeas, huh? (LAUGHS)
771
00:38:23,280 --> 00:38:25,080
Next up, it's Melanie.
772
00:38:27,080 --> 00:38:28,840
MELANIE: I'd love to impress
Maggie Beer,
773
00:38:28,840 --> 00:38:31,120
but I don't know if the guinea fowl
is cooked right.
774
00:38:31,120 --> 00:38:33,640
I don't know if it tastes good.
775
00:38:35,680 --> 00:38:39,360
I'm very unsure about this,
and that's making me very nervous.
776
00:38:41,520 --> 00:38:43,160
Melanie, what have you cooked us?
777
00:38:43,160 --> 00:38:46,320
Uh, it's a roasted
guinea fowl maryland,
778
00:38:46,320 --> 00:38:50,560
eggplants and...with
a chickpea mash and pistachios.
779
00:38:51,840 --> 00:38:54,800
You happy with it?
You don't seem happy.
780
00:38:54,800 --> 00:38:56,800
Is it Maggie that threw you off
your game today?
781
00:38:56,800 --> 00:38:58,360
Yeah, a little bit.
I mean, you grew up...
782
00:38:58,360 --> 00:39:00,640
You grew up watching her
on TV, right?
783
00:39:00,640 --> 00:39:03,000
When you guys came to my bench
and you were talking to me,
784
00:39:03,000 --> 00:39:04,160
I felt like I was taking it in.
785
00:39:04,160 --> 00:39:06,240
And then you left,
and I was like, "Wait, what?
786
00:39:06,240 --> 00:39:07,240
"What just happened?"
787
00:39:07,240 --> 00:39:08,920
I didn't know what you'd said.
788
00:39:10,480 --> 00:39:12,440
I've got to leave. I can tell.
789
00:39:30,160 --> 00:39:34,520
Melanie, with this, I think you've
come across something unfamiliar
790
00:39:34,520 --> 00:39:38,280
and you've come across this
amazing woman in the kitchen,
791
00:39:38,280 --> 00:39:41,480
which has probably thrown you today.
792
00:39:41,480 --> 00:39:46,400
The skin on the maryland
just needs to be caramelised more.
793
00:39:46,400 --> 00:39:48,680
And with your bird herself,
794
00:39:48,680 --> 00:39:50,840
it was undercooked.
795
00:39:50,840 --> 00:39:54,120
Maybe a minute more,
90 seconds more.
796
00:39:55,600 --> 00:39:58,520
It's just not a great dish, overall.
Yeah, I know.
797
00:39:58,520 --> 00:40:02,080
But the guinea fowl
is still good eating,
798
00:40:02,080 --> 00:40:03,720
even though it could have had
that...
799
00:40:03,720 --> 00:40:06,080
..it should have had
that extra time.
800
00:40:06,080 --> 00:40:09,720
Obviously, it's not been a good day,
but try it again at home
801
00:40:09,720 --> 00:40:11,320
when there's no pressure.
802
00:40:11,320 --> 00:40:13,080
OK. Thanks.
803
00:40:13,080 --> 00:40:14,760
Thanks, Melanie.
Thanks, Mel.
804
00:40:16,920 --> 00:40:20,000
I'm disappointed that I cooked
a bad dish for Maggie Beer.
805
00:40:20,000 --> 00:40:21,520
It is what it is.
806
00:40:24,720 --> 00:40:28,000
Does Maggie Beer watch MasterChef
in her free time?
807
00:40:28,000 --> 00:40:29,480
I would love for her to see
808
00:40:29,480 --> 00:40:32,040
that, you know,
I've cooked some good stuff,
809
00:40:32,040 --> 00:40:35,200
and hopefully
she'd be pleasantly surprised.
810
00:40:35,200 --> 00:40:36,960
Next up, Billie.
811
00:40:48,240 --> 00:40:50,560
Billie, what did you make?
812
00:40:50,560 --> 00:40:55,440
So, roasted guinea fowl breast with
a parsley butter under the skin,
813
00:40:55,440 --> 00:40:58,600
a chickpea puree
and a chickpea parsley...
814
00:41:00,360 --> 00:41:01,600
..salad?
815
00:41:01,600 --> 00:41:03,720
Salad. That'll do.
816
00:41:03,720 --> 00:41:05,600
I am gonna put it out there
817
00:41:05,600 --> 00:41:08,320
that you were just not quite yourself
when you cooked today. Like...
818
00:41:08,320 --> 00:41:09,440
No. I don't know.
819
00:41:09,440 --> 00:41:13,120
I just didn't really feel like
I really got into the cook,
820
00:41:13,120 --> 00:41:14,840
as I usually do.
821
00:41:33,240 --> 00:41:36,960
I got the thick part of the guinea
fowl breast right at the top
822
00:41:36,960 --> 00:41:39,640
and it was actually quite perfect.
823
00:41:40,880 --> 00:41:42,920
But the flat leaf parsley -
824
00:41:42,920 --> 00:41:46,080
the flavour of it
in this little salad....
825
00:41:47,680 --> 00:41:50,360
..is just out of whack.
826
00:41:50,360 --> 00:41:53,280
When you cook parsley,
you've got to be terribly careful
827
00:41:53,280 --> 00:41:55,760
that you don't lose what you had
in the beginning.
828
00:41:55,760 --> 00:41:58,160
Yeah.
And so that's what it is.
829
00:41:58,160 --> 00:41:59,840
There's a few flaws here.
830
00:41:59,840 --> 00:42:01,480
The guinea fowl is good.
831
00:42:01,480 --> 00:42:05,120
Everything else probably needs
a little bit of a tinker.
832
00:42:05,120 --> 00:42:07,040
OK, thanks.
833
00:42:07,040 --> 00:42:08,840
She really wants to get
out of there.
834
00:42:13,240 --> 00:42:15,040
Next up, Daniel.
835
00:42:19,960 --> 00:42:21,840
Long way to come!
836
00:42:25,760 --> 00:42:27,160
Righto, Daniel.
837
00:42:28,160 --> 00:42:29,880
Ever cooked guinea fowl?
838
00:42:29,880 --> 00:42:31,440
Never cooked guinea fowl.
839
00:42:31,440 --> 00:42:33,240
What did you cook?
840
00:42:33,240 --> 00:42:34,520
Roasted guinea fowl.
841
00:42:34,520 --> 00:42:35,680
Cool.
842
00:42:38,960 --> 00:42:40,640
I'm spewing. I had a stuffing.
843
00:42:40,640 --> 00:42:43,240
I really wanted to sort of put
like a nice sort of mushy...
844
00:42:43,240 --> 00:42:45,640
..not mushy, but a nice sort of
tender stuffing for the chickpeas
845
00:42:45,640 --> 00:42:47,440
but I've never cooked
fresh ones before
846
00:42:47,440 --> 00:42:51,000
and they didn't break down anywhere
near the amount that they needed
847
00:42:51,000 --> 00:42:52,600
and they were quite raw.
848
00:42:52,600 --> 00:42:55,320
So I had to bite the bullet
and take it off.
849
00:42:56,400 --> 00:42:58,240
So I've only really got
some bird and a sauce
850
00:42:58,240 --> 00:43:00,880
and I really hope that everything's
cooked well, but I don't know.
851
00:43:18,160 --> 00:43:21,600
Guinea fowl for the first time.
You're a game man.
852
00:43:21,600 --> 00:43:22,600
Um...
853
00:43:23,640 --> 00:43:26,600
I think you've actually done
pretty well...
854
00:43:26,600 --> 00:43:29,240
Oh, thank you.
..on the cooking of the guinea fowl.
855
00:43:29,240 --> 00:43:32,760
It's up there with the best today,
in my opinion.
Oh, sweet.
856
00:43:32,760 --> 00:43:35,480
Well, I think it's not only
up there with the best so far.
857
00:43:35,480 --> 00:43:40,160
I think you've pinged both
the breast and the leg perfectly.
858
00:43:41,440 --> 00:43:44,240
If only it hadn't have been
just a plate of meat.
859
00:43:44,240 --> 00:43:46,080
Yeah. (LAUGHS)
860
00:43:46,080 --> 00:43:49,080
That's what I loved about it!
(LAUGHTER)
861
00:43:50,560 --> 00:43:53,160
OK.
That's all. Thank you, Daniel.
862
00:43:53,160 --> 00:43:54,560
Righto, Daniel.
Thanks, guys. Cheers.
863
00:43:54,560 --> 00:43:56,040
(APPLAUSE)
864
00:44:06,360 --> 00:44:08,160
Next up is Aldo.
865
00:44:14,840 --> 00:44:18,160
I'm very happy with
what I produced, actually.
866
00:44:20,040 --> 00:44:22,720
But if Maggie doesn't
enjoy this dish,
867
00:44:22,720 --> 00:44:26,160
the consequence for me will be
that I'm going to be heartbroken.
868
00:44:26,160 --> 00:44:28,080
Thank you.
869
00:44:28,080 --> 00:44:31,360
I really don't want to ruin
and destroy the great memories
870
00:44:31,360 --> 00:44:33,960
that she's got of myself as a cook.
871
00:44:44,160 --> 00:44:47,360
Aldo, Sicilian flavours
today for you.
872
00:44:47,360 --> 00:44:51,560
We call it melanzane barchetta,
or a scarpone in my dialect,
873
00:44:51,560 --> 00:44:53,520
which means stuffed eggplant.
874
00:44:53,520 --> 00:44:57,920
And the last dish that you cooked
for Maggie, she loved.
875
00:44:57,920 --> 00:45:01,960
Do you think that she'll love
this one just as much?
876
00:45:01,960 --> 00:45:05,040
Last dish that I cooked for Maggie
was just giving justice
877
00:45:05,040 --> 00:45:06,840
to the classic Italian flavour,
878
00:45:06,840 --> 00:45:10,120
and I hope that I did the same
this time around as well.
879
00:45:20,720 --> 00:45:27,040
The creaminess between the really
beautifully cooked eggplant
880
00:45:27,040 --> 00:45:29,360
and then your topping
881
00:45:29,360 --> 00:45:31,600
is just a perfect balance there,
882
00:45:31,600 --> 00:45:34,760
because the whole thing
is really creamy.
883
00:45:34,760 --> 00:45:35,760
But...
884
00:45:36,960 --> 00:45:39,320
..all I want is a bit
of a squeeze of lemon.
885
00:45:39,320 --> 00:45:41,840
And I know you didn't have
lemon to use,
886
00:45:41,840 --> 00:45:44,320
so I'm wanting a little bit
of acidity with it.
887
00:45:46,240 --> 00:45:47,880
Allow me.
888
00:45:47,880 --> 00:45:49,200
Allow you?
Try it again.
889
00:45:49,200 --> 00:45:51,600
I'll try it again.
There's verjus in there.
890
00:45:53,000 --> 00:45:54,320
Oh!
891
00:45:54,320 --> 00:45:56,520
There - you've got it. (LAUGHS)
892
00:45:56,520 --> 00:45:58,360
There's lovely creaminess.
893
00:45:58,360 --> 00:45:59,920
You've got saltiness. You've got...
894
00:45:59,920 --> 00:46:01,600
You've got this acidity.
895
00:46:03,200 --> 00:46:06,080
Another lovely dish
you've cooked for me, Aldo.
896
00:46:06,080 --> 00:46:07,320
Well done.
897
00:46:07,320 --> 00:46:09,680
Thank you, Maggie.
898
00:46:09,680 --> 00:46:10,680
Thank you.
899
00:46:11,760 --> 00:46:13,640
I'm feeling stoked.
900
00:46:13,640 --> 00:46:16,040
Like, it's mind-blowing.
901
00:46:16,040 --> 00:46:18,440
Giving another great dish to Maggie,
902
00:46:18,440 --> 00:46:19,960
it means the world for me.
903
00:46:21,560 --> 00:46:22,560
Smashed it.
904
00:46:25,680 --> 00:46:28,040
Maggie, it's been
an absolute pleasure
905
00:46:28,040 --> 00:46:29,800
having you back
in the MasterChef kitchen again.
906
00:46:29,800 --> 00:46:31,680
It's been way too long.
907
00:46:31,680 --> 00:46:34,000
Please, everyone,
give it up for Maggie Beer!
908
00:46:41,520 --> 00:46:45,360
Right. There were a handful
of dishes that dazzled today.
909
00:46:45,360 --> 00:46:50,200
We had perfectly cooked
guinea fowl from Daniel.
910
00:46:50,200 --> 00:46:52,800
Oh, thank you. (LAUGHS)
911
00:46:54,520 --> 00:46:58,240
We had an eggplant chock-full
of flavour from you, Mindy.
912
00:46:59,880 --> 00:47:03,080
And we had a fresh take
on an Italian classic from Aldo.
913
00:47:04,400 --> 00:47:06,520
Well done, you three. Great dishes.
914
00:47:11,000 --> 00:47:12,440
But for some of you,
915
00:47:12,440 --> 00:47:16,560
Maggie's mystery box proved to be
quite the challenge.
916
00:47:16,560 --> 00:47:18,160
If I call your name,
917
00:47:18,160 --> 00:47:21,480
unfortunately, you're in
tomorrow's pressure test.
918
00:47:23,400 --> 00:47:24,560
Matt.
919
00:47:26,840 --> 00:47:27,960
Harry.
920
00:47:30,480 --> 00:47:31,600
Melanie.
921
00:47:34,640 --> 00:47:38,800
And the final person going into
tomorrow's pressure test
922
00:47:38,800 --> 00:47:39,880
is Billie.
923
00:47:43,120 --> 00:47:46,360
Matt, Harry, Melanie and Billie,
924
00:47:46,360 --> 00:47:48,440
get your game faces on,
925
00:47:48,440 --> 00:47:51,640
walk in here tomorrow
determined to do what it takes
926
00:47:51,640 --> 00:47:54,680
to stay in this
very special competition.
927
00:47:55,760 --> 00:47:57,760
Good luck, guys.
We'll see you tomorrow.
928
00:47:57,760 --> 00:47:58,880
Thanks, Maggie.
929
00:48:03,320 --> 00:48:07,040
Going into the pressure test,
it feels crap.
930
00:48:07,040 --> 00:48:10,240
Oh, yeah, I knew it was coming.
931
00:48:10,240 --> 00:48:12,080
But I need to push it aside
932
00:48:12,080 --> 00:48:15,040
and forget about it
and focus on what's...tomorrow.
933
00:48:18,120 --> 00:48:21,000
ANNOUNCER: Tomorrow night
on MasterChef Australia...
934
00:48:21,000 --> 00:48:23,320
We have Josh Niland!
935
00:48:25,240 --> 00:48:27,360
..a legendary fish expert
936
00:48:27,360 --> 00:48:29,840
brings an epic pressure test.
937
00:48:29,840 --> 00:48:31,360
Ohhh!
938
00:48:31,360 --> 00:48:33,240
BILLIE:
This recipe is huge.
939
00:48:33,240 --> 00:48:35,120
MELANIE: I feel very
out of my depth.
940
00:48:35,120 --> 00:48:37,280
HARRY: I am
extremely determined
941
00:48:37,280 --> 00:48:38,440
to fight tooth
and nail
942
00:48:38,440 --> 00:48:39,960
to stay in this
competition.
943
00:48:39,960 --> 00:48:43,480
But there's one
giant catch.
944
00:48:43,480 --> 00:48:45,000
Aaaggh!
That's a worry.
945
00:48:47,640 --> 00:48:49,640
