1
00:00:04,040 --> 00:00:06,840
It's the MasterChef quarterfinal...
2
00:00:08,440 --> 00:00:11,440
..and this week's four best
cooks are back.
3
00:00:12,800 --> 00:00:15,360
{\an8}It just feels like you need to keep
pinching yourself every time
4
00:00:15,400 --> 00:00:17,640
{\an8}you come into the kitchen.
But if I can get through today,
5
00:00:17,680 --> 00:00:19,960
{\an8}I'll feel like quite invincible.
6
00:00:20,000 --> 00:00:22,680
{\an8}Now I've got real urge and fight.
7
00:00:22,720 --> 00:00:23,720
{\an8}I'm not going home.
8
00:00:25,320 --> 00:00:26,640
{\an8}I'm buzzing.
9
00:00:26,680 --> 00:00:28,880
{\an8}I hardly could sleep last night.
10
00:00:30,680 --> 00:00:33,560
{\an8}We are now at a stage of
the competition where everyone
11
00:00:33,600 --> 00:00:36,680
{\an8}is very good. If you mess up,
then you're going.
12
00:00:36,720 --> 00:00:40,040
This is a seriously tough
MasterChef challenge.
13
00:00:40,080 --> 00:00:43,120
It's like a sandwich but
on steroids.
14
00:00:43,160 --> 00:00:45,880
It's technically genius.
15
00:00:45,920 --> 00:00:49,360
Today is all about the fight to go
through to Knockout Week.
16
00:01:08,160 --> 00:01:10,600
Welcome back to the MasterChef
kitchen and welcome
17
00:01:10,640 --> 00:01:12,880
to your quarterfinal.
18
00:01:12,920 --> 00:01:16,560
You are going to present your dishes
today not just to John and I,
19
00:01:16,600 --> 00:01:19,280
but to three celebrated chefs.
20
00:01:19,320 --> 00:01:24,400
Not only that - three previous
champions of MasterChef.
21
00:01:24,440 --> 00:01:26,560
Thomasina Miers,
22
00:01:26,600 --> 00:01:28,040
Kenny Tutt,
23
00:01:28,080 --> 00:01:31,560
and Dr Saliha Mahmood-Ahmed.
24
00:01:32,880 --> 00:01:36,640
You're all fighting for a place
in Knockout Week.
25
00:01:36,680 --> 00:01:38,960
We can only take the best
cooks with us.
26
00:01:40,680 --> 00:01:43,280
You've got two courses.
27
00:01:43,320 --> 00:01:44,920
One hour and 15 minutes.
28
00:01:46,560 --> 00:01:47,560
Let's cook.
29
00:01:56,720 --> 00:02:00,360
Adam's got a brilliant
culinary heart.
30
00:02:00,400 --> 00:02:02,840
However, in the last round,
the presentation
31
00:02:02,880 --> 00:02:04,800
was all over the place.
32
00:02:04,840 --> 00:02:08,000
And what he's got to do is deliver
two courses which are truly
33
00:02:08,040 --> 00:02:10,360
delicious and show his true
potential.
34
00:02:12,000 --> 00:02:14,800
{\an8}I think producing four plates
today would come quite naturally
35
00:02:14,840 --> 00:02:16,680
{\an8}to me because I am quite used
to serving up
36
00:02:16,720 --> 00:02:18,640
{\an8}three-course dinners with my wife.
37
00:02:18,680 --> 00:02:21,200
We'd done it all through lockdown,
but who's to say
38
00:02:21,240 --> 00:02:24,240
what could happen today?
They could end up with half a plate.
39
00:02:27,960 --> 00:02:30,680
Adam. Hello. Quarterfinal,
how are you feeling about it?
40
00:02:30,720 --> 00:02:33,320
It seems like it's a dream.
I honestly don't believe it.
41
00:02:33,360 --> 00:02:37,720
What are your two courses? First of
all, I'm making you a Spanish stew
42
00:02:37,760 --> 00:02:38,400
What are your two courses? First of
all, I'm making you a Spanish stew
43
00:02:38,440 --> 00:02:40,960
with smoked cod en papillote,
44
00:02:41,000 --> 00:02:43,720
with a chorizo tuile
and a parsley oil.
45
00:02:43,760 --> 00:02:48,280
And then I'm making you a lemon curd
tart with a sable biscuit base
46
00:02:48,320 --> 00:02:50,960
and Italian meringue,
and a baked fig.
47
00:02:51,000 --> 00:02:54,920
Did your wife give you any advice
today coming into this? Be myself.
48
00:02:54,960 --> 00:02:56,880
And did she give you any
presentation tips?
49
00:02:56,920 --> 00:02:59,160
I'm not listening to her.
JOHN LAUGHS
50
00:02:59,200 --> 00:03:00,640
And why are you not listening
to her?
51
00:03:00,680 --> 00:03:02,840
Because she told me to chop
up a chicken and waffle.
52
00:03:02,880 --> 00:03:05,120
So from here on,
presentation - Adam,
53
00:03:05,160 --> 00:03:07,000
but confidence comes from your wife.
54
00:03:08,840 --> 00:03:12,320
Adam's got two courses
which I think are crowd-pleasers.
55
00:03:12,360 --> 00:03:13,960
Cooking the cod en papillote
56
00:03:14,000 --> 00:03:18,040
I think is a lovely way of cooking
it because it steams the fish.
57
00:03:18,080 --> 00:03:21,720
He's also going to make
a chorizo cheese tuile.
58
00:03:21,760 --> 00:03:25,640
Got to be careful cos cheese and
fish isn't an easy combo.
59
00:03:25,680 --> 00:03:28,120
We've got a really complicated
dessert from Adam.
60
00:03:28,160 --> 00:03:30,640
We've got a sable pastry tart.
61
00:03:30,680 --> 00:03:33,240
Sable being different because
it's got an egg yolk
62
00:03:33,280 --> 00:03:37,520
in the pastry. Inside that,
we've got a lemon curd.
63
00:03:37,560 --> 00:03:39,560
Then he's going to make
an Italian meringue.
64
00:03:39,600 --> 00:03:42,280
He's got to get the right amount
of sharpness into that lemon curd.
65
00:03:44,720 --> 00:03:48,040
Forest in this competition has only
cooked for us sweet dishes
66
00:03:48,080 --> 00:03:49,800
and we have absolutely loved them.
67
00:03:49,840 --> 00:03:52,640
Today, for the first time,
we are going to see a savoury
68
00:03:52,680 --> 00:03:56,200
dish from him. Let's hope it's every
bit as good as his sweet stuff.
69
00:03:58,840 --> 00:04:01,160
So my first course is
a lobster noodle.
70
00:04:01,200 --> 00:04:04,280
It's called lobster cheese yee mein,
which is a very traditional
71
00:04:04,320 --> 00:04:07,040
Hong Kong-style dish. I'm not doing
it the traditional way today.
72
00:04:07,080 --> 00:04:09,440
I'm doing it in a kind of
more of a modern style.
73
00:04:09,480 --> 00:04:11,680
What's the cheese that's
going in it?
74
00:04:11,720 --> 00:04:14,160
I'm using Cheddar cheese today,
but actually in Hong Kong
75
00:04:14,200 --> 00:04:15,840
they use plastic cheese.
76
00:04:15,880 --> 00:04:17,880
And then for our dessert,
what have we got?
77
00:04:17,920 --> 00:04:21,000
Taking you from Hong Kong
back into the UK,
78
00:04:21,040 --> 00:04:22,680
I'm making you an Eton mess.
79
00:04:22,720 --> 00:04:24,480
And just like the lobster dish,
80
00:04:24,520 --> 00:04:27,240
I am going to put a fine dining
twist on it.
81
00:04:30,080 --> 00:04:33,000
{\an8}Yee mein is usually done when
you're celebrating something
82
00:04:33,040 --> 00:04:35,640
{\an8}or you're getting all your relatives
together to eat.
83
00:04:35,680 --> 00:04:39,680
Many years ago now, when I found
that I'd got into Oxford University,
84
00:04:39,720 --> 00:04:43,320
I was like, "Yep, we're having
lobster cheese noodle tonight."
85
00:04:43,360 --> 00:04:44,680
And that's what we had.
86
00:04:44,720 --> 00:04:47,240
And so this is a dish that means
a lot to me.
87
00:04:48,760 --> 00:04:50,440
Very interesting from Forest.
88
00:04:50,480 --> 00:04:52,280
A lobster and noodles,
89
00:04:52,320 --> 00:04:54,680
I could eat that all day long.
90
00:04:54,720 --> 00:04:57,120
There's actually only three
elements to this dish,
91
00:04:57,160 --> 00:04:59,840
so they've all got to be perfect.
92
00:04:59,880 --> 00:05:01,960
The dessert is a take
on Eton mess.
93
00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:04,320
Macerated strawberries with lots
and lots of sugar.
94
00:05:04,360 --> 00:05:06,760
Shards of meringue should be lovely,
lovely and crisp.
95
00:05:06,800 --> 00:05:09,480
And with that, we've got
clotted cream ice cream.
96
00:05:09,520 --> 00:05:13,120
How does ice cream and strawberries
with bits of meringue come together?
97
00:05:15,920 --> 00:05:18,600
Anurag has been very impressive
so far.
98
00:05:18,640 --> 00:05:22,360
He's given us great presentation,
wonderful Indian flavours.
99
00:05:22,400 --> 00:05:24,880
If he has a fault, that's
attempting too much.
100
00:05:26,200 --> 00:05:28,840
Can I be more minimalistic?
101
00:05:28,880 --> 00:05:30,480
I think that's not me.
102
00:05:30,520 --> 00:05:32,840
{\an8}It's quite hard for me to do less.
103
00:05:35,960 --> 00:05:37,560
Anurag, are you doing the same?
104
00:05:37,600 --> 00:05:40,200
Are you going to really give
yourself huge amounts of work to do?
105
00:05:40,240 --> 00:05:43,560
It might look quite a lot again,
but I'll stick to something
106
00:05:43,600 --> 00:05:45,800
what I really love cooking at home.
107
00:05:45,840 --> 00:05:48,600
So for starters, I am making
chai pakora.
108
00:05:48,640 --> 00:05:51,160
So it's like a favourite
breakfast item
109
00:05:51,200 --> 00:05:53,040
on a Sunday morning as a child.
110
00:05:53,080 --> 00:05:54,400
Where's the chai come in?
111
00:05:54,440 --> 00:05:57,720
So chai goes with it because there's
not much drinking culture in India,
112
00:05:57,760 --> 00:06:00,000
so it has to have tea with that.
113
00:06:00,040 --> 00:06:03,080
And the next course is? I'm giving
you authentic chicken curry
114
00:06:03,120 --> 00:06:05,880
with basmati rice, some fried
crispy okra
115
00:06:05,920 --> 00:06:08,360
and onion rings. Ooh!
116
00:06:08,400 --> 00:06:10,280
It smells good. It smells great.
117
00:06:10,320 --> 00:06:12,320
Brilliant. Cheers.
Thank you very much, judges.
118
00:06:13,680 --> 00:06:16,280
So pakora's like a fried fritter.
119
00:06:16,320 --> 00:06:19,400
His are going to be bread on
the outside and potato
120
00:06:19,440 --> 00:06:22,760
in the middle. Hopefully the bread
is crispy and the potatoes
121
00:06:22,800 --> 00:06:24,480
inside are light and fluffy.
122
00:06:25,920 --> 00:06:28,640
Main course, we have got
a chicken makhani.
123
00:06:28,680 --> 00:06:31,640
Makhani, a northern
Indian dish which has got
124
00:06:31,680 --> 00:06:34,520
lots of rich tomatoes and cream.
I hope that chicken's cooked
125
00:06:34,560 --> 00:06:36,200
all the way through and it's
not dry.
126
00:06:36,240 --> 00:06:37,760
We've got okra fries.
127
00:06:37,800 --> 00:06:39,720
They've got to be crispy
on the outside.
128
00:06:39,760 --> 00:06:42,320
He is using a huge amount of spicing
and he's going to have to get
129
00:06:42,360 --> 00:06:44,200
that balance absolutely right.
130
00:06:44,240 --> 00:06:47,240
30 minutes gone. 30 minutes gone.
131
00:06:49,160 --> 00:06:53,080
Omar is one of the most adventurous
people we have seen
132
00:06:53,120 --> 00:06:54,720
in the competition so far.
133
00:06:54,760 --> 00:06:57,600
A lamb shank with chocolate
sauce and butternut squash,
134
00:06:57,640 --> 00:06:59,680
and it was delicious.
135
00:07:00,920 --> 00:07:03,720
{\an8}I want to say that my partner
has a say in what he eats,
136
00:07:03,760 --> 00:07:05,920
{\an8}but I really don't think he does.
137
00:07:05,960 --> 00:07:08,640
He actually really wasn't a fan
of the lamb and chocolate dish.
138
00:07:08,680 --> 00:07:09,920
Cos John and Gregg loved it,
139
00:07:09,960 --> 00:07:12,080
he'll be eating that for the rest
of his life.
140
00:07:14,160 --> 00:07:17,200
For my starter today, I'm doing
a prawn toast with some
141
00:07:17,240 --> 00:07:20,400
Southeast Asian flavours
through it, with a sweetcorn puree
142
00:07:20,440 --> 00:07:22,760
and a prawn and chilli oil.
Wonderful!
143
00:07:22,800 --> 00:07:24,800
Are you staying with an Asian
theme for the main?
144
00:07:24,840 --> 00:07:27,600
Yeah, I'm doing a crispy chicken
sesame ramen
145
00:07:27,640 --> 00:07:29,200
with home-made noodles.
146
00:07:29,240 --> 00:07:31,600
You're making a ramen,
Japanese dish,
147
00:07:31,640 --> 00:07:33,360
using lemongrass and coriander?
148
00:07:33,400 --> 00:07:36,040
Yeah, and some sesame paste
or tahini.
149
00:07:36,080 --> 00:07:38,280
And a bit of gochujang,
a bit of miso. Brilliant.
150
00:07:38,320 --> 00:07:42,640
So we're going Middle East,
Thailand into South Korea.
151
00:07:42,680 --> 00:07:42,800
So we're going Middle East,
Thailand into South Korea.
152
00:07:42,840 --> 00:07:46,520
Omar, it sounds, once again,
fascinating. Great.
153
00:07:49,560 --> 00:07:53,640
Omar's got two classics, but he has
changed them completely.
154
00:07:53,680 --> 00:07:55,000
We've got a prawn toast.
155
00:07:55,040 --> 00:07:57,760
Instead of sitting on a lovely thin
slice of bread, we've got a thick
156
00:07:57,800 --> 00:08:00,200
bit of brioche, which is
really sweet.
157
00:08:00,240 --> 00:08:03,200
So when it deep fries, I just hope
that doesn't go greasy.
158
00:08:03,240 --> 00:08:05,280
On the bottom of that, we've got
sweetcorn puree.
159
00:08:05,320 --> 00:08:07,600
I hope that works, cos my
prawn toast -
160
00:08:07,640 --> 00:08:10,600
where does it go on this corn puree
without going soggy?
161
00:08:10,640 --> 00:08:15,320
After that, a big bowl of ramen,
which is a stock with noodles.
162
00:08:15,360 --> 00:08:18,920
Everything depends on the quality
of that stock.
163
00:08:20,280 --> 00:08:22,040
Guys, ten minutes to go, please.
164
00:08:22,080 --> 00:08:23,960
Service in ten minutes.
165
00:08:33,440 --> 00:08:35,920
It's always incredible to be back,
and it brings back
166
00:08:35,960 --> 00:08:37,600
some fantastic memories.
167
00:08:37,640 --> 00:08:39,640
Also, that little bit of fear
168
00:08:39,680 --> 00:08:41,840
deep down. Deep down in the stomach.
169
00:08:41,880 --> 00:08:43,520
But, yeah, it's a wonderful place
170
00:08:43,560 --> 00:08:46,360
and it's a place where you can make
dreams happen, really.
171
00:08:49,240 --> 00:08:51,440
The nerves that these guys
are going to be feeling
172
00:08:51,480 --> 00:08:52,720
are going to be pretty high.
173
00:08:52,760 --> 00:08:55,280
And it is all about...
SHE INHALES
174
00:08:55,320 --> 00:08:57,000
..taking that deep breath
175
00:08:57,040 --> 00:08:58,640
and really trying to rein it in.
176
00:08:58,680 --> 00:09:01,920
So many people over the years
have tried to fit too much
177
00:09:01,960 --> 00:09:04,720
into that hour and 15, and just
fallen flat on their faces.
178
00:09:07,560 --> 00:09:11,560
I am so excited and primarily
I am really hungry.
179
00:09:11,600 --> 00:09:13,640
Like "give me the food now" hungry!
180
00:09:15,720 --> 00:09:18,040
It's like my Christmas. It's my
favourite time of year,
181
00:09:18,080 --> 00:09:20,160
coming back, getting fed. Yeah!
182
00:09:24,080 --> 00:09:26,400
OK. You've got about
four minutes left.
183
00:09:26,440 --> 00:09:28,080
Herb oil done? Yep.
184
00:09:28,120 --> 00:09:30,080
Tuiles done? Yep. Uh, no.
185
00:09:30,120 --> 00:09:31,440
Oh! You're not doing them?
186
00:09:31,480 --> 00:09:33,440
I'm doing a chorizo crumb.
OK, fine.
187
00:09:35,320 --> 00:09:40,160
I'm really excited to try Adam's
cod because I love Spanish food.
188
00:09:40,200 --> 00:09:42,960
So you've done a separate
stew for Saliha?
189
00:09:43,000 --> 00:09:46,440
Yeah. Because she doesn't eat pork.
Because she doesn't eat pork.
190
00:09:46,480 --> 00:09:48,120
In the time that he's got,
191
00:09:48,160 --> 00:09:51,680
will he have time to punch loads
of flavour into that stew?
192
00:09:51,720 --> 00:09:54,480
I just can't wait to have the cod,
when the cod just sort of
193
00:09:54,520 --> 00:09:58,080
flakes apart. I think it
sounds lovely.
194
00:09:58,120 --> 00:10:01,800
The simplicity of it makes me
feel he's got guts.
195
00:10:01,840 --> 00:10:03,080
He knows what he's doing.
196
00:10:05,680 --> 00:10:07,440
Are we ready? Yeah.
197
00:10:07,480 --> 00:10:09,320
On time. Let's go.
198
00:10:13,280 --> 00:10:14,960
Hello. Hello. Hello, guys.
199
00:10:15,000 --> 00:10:16,800
Are you all right? Good.
Thank you, Adam.
200
00:10:16,840 --> 00:10:18,200
Little bit starstruck.
201
00:10:18,240 --> 00:10:20,960
Well, so you should be, mate.
LAUGHTER
202
00:10:22,320 --> 00:10:25,880
Adam has served a Spanish
bean and chorizo stew,
203
00:10:25,920 --> 00:10:29,200
topped with smoked cod en papillote,
204
00:10:29,240 --> 00:10:31,560
and finished with a parsley oil
205
00:10:31,600 --> 00:10:33,280
and a chorizo crumb.
206
00:10:34,840 --> 00:10:37,240
Looks lovely, Adam. Thank you.
207
00:10:45,480 --> 00:10:47,400
The fish was really beautifully
cooked.
208
00:10:47,440 --> 00:10:49,440
The beans are really buttery
and soft,
209
00:10:49,480 --> 00:10:52,280
but I think the parsley oil
could be more intense.
210
00:10:52,320 --> 00:10:56,600
It's a big bowl of warm, comforting,
smoky paprika.
211
00:10:56,640 --> 00:10:57,880
Some lovely flavours,
212
00:10:57,920 --> 00:11:00,840
but could there be just something
that shows a little bit more skill
213
00:11:00,880 --> 00:11:02,360
at this stage?
214
00:11:02,400 --> 00:11:05,840
He didn't manage to make the tuile.
That might have added that textural
215
00:11:05,880 --> 00:11:09,320
side, which would have really helped
lift this dish into something other
216
00:11:09,360 --> 00:11:11,560
than just really good pub grub.
217
00:11:11,600 --> 00:11:13,600
The fish itself, it's cooked
very, very nicely.
218
00:11:13,640 --> 00:11:16,080
He's kept it in the bag.
It's stayed moist. That's great.
219
00:11:16,120 --> 00:11:18,520
On a cold winter's night,
I would eat all of that.
220
00:11:19,720 --> 00:11:22,360
Come on, Chef. 15 minutes, yeah?
Pastry work.
221
00:11:22,400 --> 00:11:23,840
Let's go, let's go, let's go.
222
00:11:26,000 --> 00:11:28,320
I really want to dive into
this pudding.
223
00:11:28,360 --> 00:11:30,640
It's screaming sugar and sweetness
to me.
224
00:11:33,400 --> 00:11:36,800
You know, it's got to have that real
lovely zingy sharpness of lemon
225
00:11:36,840 --> 00:11:39,240
to sort of counteract all
those sweet elements.
226
00:11:39,280 --> 00:11:41,920
Make sure everyone's got the same
amount of meringue cos otherwise
227
00:11:41,960 --> 00:11:44,640
you get envy. You've inspired me.
228
00:11:44,680 --> 00:11:47,360
Have I? That frightens me.
Don't blame me.
229
00:11:47,400 --> 00:11:50,560
I'm also slightly scared for him
because he's got to set a
230
00:11:50,600 --> 00:11:53,280
lemon curd, cook meringue
and caramelise figs,
231
00:11:53,320 --> 00:11:55,360
so he's got a lot on his plate.
232
00:11:55,400 --> 00:11:56,640
Oh, you little beauties.
233
00:11:59,960 --> 00:12:01,920
Tap the side. Tap the side.
Tap the side.
234
00:12:01,960 --> 00:12:04,640
Don't put your finger in. There!
Oh, I've got you.
235
00:12:04,680 --> 00:12:06,160
That works...
236
00:12:06,200 --> 00:12:08,320
It's a builder's approach
to decorating, right?
237
00:12:08,360 --> 00:12:10,800
I'm not allowed to paint at home.
Great. Let's go!
238
00:12:10,840 --> 00:12:12,440
Come on! Thank you, guys.
239
00:12:14,240 --> 00:12:15,840
Hello. Hello. Hi. You OK?
240
00:12:15,880 --> 00:12:17,720
Yeah. Yeah, good. Great.
241
00:12:18,960 --> 00:12:21,360
Oh, wow. Look at that.
Oh, thank you.
242
00:12:21,400 --> 00:12:24,080
So I've made you a sable biscuit
with Italian meringue,
243
00:12:24,120 --> 00:12:26,600
lemon curd and a baked fig.
244
00:12:26,640 --> 00:12:28,000
Thank you. Thank you, Adam.
245
00:12:33,400 --> 00:12:37,440
I think because the biscuit is so
sweet and the meringue's so sweet,
246
00:12:37,480 --> 00:12:41,120
that acidity in that lemon
curd is just perfection.
247
00:12:41,160 --> 00:12:43,920
It's sensational. I wanted to
faceplant myself in it.
248
00:12:43,960 --> 00:12:45,280
It was that good.
249
00:12:45,320 --> 00:12:48,440
He's totally nailed this. It is
like eating a lemon sherbet.
250
00:12:48,480 --> 00:12:50,240
It sparkles with flavour.
251
00:12:50,280 --> 00:12:53,160
It's so sharp, it's just...
It's just delicious.
252
00:12:53,200 --> 00:12:57,400
So the fig, it's not needed
cos that tart is banging.
253
00:12:57,440 --> 00:13:00,000
The pastry just melts away
in the mouth.
254
00:13:00,040 --> 00:13:02,760
The meringue is just beautifully
set and soft.
255
00:13:02,800 --> 00:13:05,600
It's great. He's done really,
really well.
256
00:13:05,640 --> 00:13:08,000
Really good pastry, fantastic
meringue.
257
00:13:08,040 --> 00:13:09,440
And it's holding up perfect.
258
00:13:11,760 --> 00:13:14,760
The Spanish stew I know was a bit
rough and rustic,
259
00:13:14,800 --> 00:13:17,000
but if they ask me about it,
that's how it's meant to be.
260
00:13:17,040 --> 00:13:21,480
But I'm so happy I managed
to get all those plates done.
261
00:13:21,520 --> 00:13:22,560
Phew!
262
00:13:24,040 --> 00:13:26,440
Forest, first course in ten, please.
263
00:13:28,800 --> 00:13:31,120
I'm really intrigued by this dish.
264
00:13:31,160 --> 00:13:34,400
I think it's going to be interesting
to see how noodles work
265
00:13:34,440 --> 00:13:36,080
with the cheese sauce.
266
00:13:36,120 --> 00:13:37,440
Lobster is one of those things.
267
00:13:37,480 --> 00:13:40,800
It can be great,
but it is really easy to overcook,
268
00:13:40,840 --> 00:13:42,600
you can under-season it.
269
00:13:44,440 --> 00:13:47,600
It's all sounding to me really rich.
270
00:13:47,640 --> 00:13:50,200
How is there going to be a balance
of flavours here?
271
00:13:50,240 --> 00:13:52,080
Well done. OK. Off you go.
Thank you.
272
00:13:55,320 --> 00:13:57,000
Hello, guys. Hi, Forest. Hello.
273
00:13:58,560 --> 00:14:02,200
So today I've made for you a lobster
and cheese yee mein,
274
00:14:02,240 --> 00:14:04,520
which is a traditional
Hong Kong dish.
275
00:14:04,560 --> 00:14:06,720
On the side, there is a
cheese sauce.
276
00:14:06,760 --> 00:14:08,560
Hopefully you'll enjoy it.
Thank you.
277
00:14:08,600 --> 00:14:09,760
Thank you very much.
278
00:14:15,240 --> 00:14:17,520
This actually is very
one-dimensional.
279
00:14:17,560 --> 00:14:19,840
You've got lobster that isn't
giving much flavour.
280
00:14:19,880 --> 00:14:21,960
The cheese sauce isn't giving
much flavour.
281
00:14:22,000 --> 00:14:24,280
You're just not getting
a great deal from it,
282
00:14:24,320 --> 00:14:26,480
you know? And that is a shame.
283
00:14:26,520 --> 00:14:28,560
I've got a sort of generic,
cheesy sauce.
284
00:14:28,600 --> 00:14:31,880
No lovely, delicate kind
of brothy shellfish flavour.
285
00:14:31,920 --> 00:14:35,320
My lobster was quite tough,
and it had some little bits of shell
286
00:14:35,360 --> 00:14:37,920
that hadn't been removed,
which was a little disappointing.
287
00:14:37,960 --> 00:14:40,960
There's something about the flavour
profile that just hasn't quite hit
288
00:14:41,000 --> 00:14:42,200
the spot. Mm.
289
00:14:43,680 --> 00:14:45,800
First savoury dish from Forest.
Yes, it's tasty.
290
00:14:45,840 --> 00:14:48,520
But my concern here is that these
are noodles that have come
291
00:14:48,560 --> 00:14:50,720
out of a packet. There's not a lot
to this dish.
292
00:14:52,280 --> 00:14:54,600
Come on, Forest. 15 minutes,
Eton mess, yeah?
293
00:14:54,640 --> 00:14:56,320
15 minutes. You can do it.
294
00:14:58,360 --> 00:15:00,080
Eton mess is such a classic.
295
00:15:00,120 --> 00:15:03,960
I'm interested to see how balsamic
glaze and clotted cream ice cream
296
00:15:04,000 --> 00:15:05,120
works with that.
297
00:15:07,760 --> 00:15:10,560
Is that just glaze?
Yeah. So really sugary sweet.
298
00:15:10,600 --> 00:15:12,720
It's sweet, but also give
a good amount of sharpness.
299
00:15:14,120 --> 00:15:17,000
For me, a perfect Eton mess
is a mess.
300
00:15:17,040 --> 00:15:20,160
I don't like it where they try
and sort of construct it on a plate.
301
00:15:23,480 --> 00:15:25,200
OK. Perfect. Nice little rocher.
Very good.
302
00:15:26,360 --> 00:15:28,800
Is that it? Is there anything else
to go on top of the quenelle?
303
00:15:28,840 --> 00:15:29,960
Nothing else. OK.
304
00:15:31,280 --> 00:15:33,160
Beautiful. Very, very good indeed.
305
00:15:37,760 --> 00:15:40,760
Today I'm serving you my version
of Eton mess.
306
00:15:40,800 --> 00:15:43,680
Macerated strawberries, topped
with balsamic glaze,
307
00:15:43,720 --> 00:15:46,920
a meringue shard and a clotted
cream ice cream.
308
00:15:46,960 --> 00:15:48,480
Thank you. Thank you very much.
309
00:15:50,240 --> 00:15:51,840
I think it looks really smart.
310
00:15:51,880 --> 00:15:53,560
The berries are lovely and glossy.
311
00:15:57,720 --> 00:16:00,080
I think with the dish, I would
have preferred a bit of cream
312
00:16:00,120 --> 00:16:03,240
because my ice cream very quickly
sort of dissipated and then I'm left
313
00:16:03,280 --> 00:16:05,520
with a lot of strawberry,
so the balance was sort of off.
314
00:16:05,560 --> 00:16:07,960
This is a lovely shard of meringue,
but it's not chewy.
315
00:16:08,000 --> 00:16:11,000
And then the clotted cream
ice cream, it's fine.
316
00:16:11,040 --> 00:16:13,600
But together they're not
just a kind of delicious pudding
317
00:16:13,640 --> 00:16:15,440
that I can't stop eating.
318
00:16:15,480 --> 00:16:18,280
I like the lightness of
the strawberries, and actually,
319
00:16:18,320 --> 00:16:20,800
the clotted cream ice cream
was very milky.
320
00:16:20,840 --> 00:16:25,120
So, for me, I don't think it was
an Eton mess, but I enjoyed it
321
00:16:25,160 --> 00:16:27,360
for a lighter dessert.
322
00:16:30,240 --> 00:16:32,280
That balsamic is really strong.
323
00:16:32,320 --> 00:16:34,760
He said it was going to be sharp.
That's really sharp.
324
00:16:34,800 --> 00:16:37,440
I think the meringue shards
are lovely because they're so light,
325
00:16:37,480 --> 00:16:40,280
they just completely melt
in your mouth in a sugary puddle.
326
00:16:40,320 --> 00:16:42,440
Listen, it's a smartened-up
Eton mess.
327
00:16:42,480 --> 00:16:43,720
It's an Eton tidy.
328
00:16:46,640 --> 00:16:50,760
Seriously, one hour and 15 minutes
just go immediately.
329
00:16:50,800 --> 00:16:54,040
There was such a great buzz, erm,
that I'm still buzzing!
330
00:16:56,840 --> 00:16:58,840
Anurag, pakoras, four minutes.
331
00:16:58,880 --> 00:17:01,320
Thank you. Great. What's this one?
332
00:17:01,360 --> 00:17:03,800
This is tamarind chutney.
333
00:17:03,840 --> 00:17:05,080
The tamarind chutney,
334
00:17:05,120 --> 00:17:07,640
I think it's going to be really
lovely to have that figgy, datey
335
00:17:07,680 --> 00:17:09,000
sweetness to the dish.
336
00:17:10,880 --> 00:17:13,000
That looks great, my friend.
Thank you.
337
00:17:13,040 --> 00:17:15,280
This is one of my favourite dishes
338
00:17:15,320 --> 00:17:18,600
and I have eaten bread pakora
many times before.
339
00:17:18,640 --> 00:17:21,320
But, actually, this is a tricky,
tricky dish.
340
00:17:21,360 --> 00:17:23,840
The green chutney, I want it to be
really spicy,
341
00:17:23,880 --> 00:17:25,920
full of chilli heat to offset
342
00:17:25,960 --> 00:17:28,560
that bread pakora, which if it's
cooked right, I imagine
343
00:17:28,600 --> 00:17:30,640
is going to be light and crispy.
344
00:17:32,000 --> 00:17:33,920
Is there anything else to go on
here? Yeah. Tea.
345
00:17:33,960 --> 00:17:35,880
The tea. The chai.
The chai, the chai.
346
00:17:37,280 --> 00:17:39,520
It looks great. Fantastic!
347
00:17:39,560 --> 00:17:41,040
Thank you very much.
348
00:17:41,080 --> 00:17:42,880
I love that. I love that. Well done.
Cheers.
349
00:17:42,920 --> 00:17:44,360
Thank you very much.
350
00:17:46,880 --> 00:17:49,480
Cheers. Wow, thank you.
351
00:17:49,520 --> 00:17:53,680
For his starter, Anurag's made
bread pakora,
352
00:17:53,720 --> 00:17:57,520
stuffed with potatoes spiced
with onion, coriander,
353
00:17:57,560 --> 00:18:00,440
fennel seeds and garam masala,
354
00:18:00,480 --> 00:18:03,720
served with a spiced masala chai.
355
00:18:03,760 --> 00:18:05,520
The smells are wonderful.
356
00:18:05,560 --> 00:18:09,080
And do you know what? It's my first
time of having a battered sandwich,
357
00:18:09,120 --> 00:18:11,080
so I'm really, really happy
about that.
358
00:18:15,680 --> 00:18:17,680
This is such a clever dish.
359
00:18:17,720 --> 00:18:20,600
The tamarind chutney is, like,
intense and sour
360
00:18:20,640 --> 00:18:22,240
and sticky and sweet.
361
00:18:22,280 --> 00:18:26,240
The coriander chutney is spicy
and vibrant and delicious.
362
00:18:26,280 --> 00:18:29,000
It's a dreamy dish and it's fun.
363
00:18:29,040 --> 00:18:32,120
What he's done is put quite
a heavily spiced filling
364
00:18:32,160 --> 00:18:33,520
in the potatoes.
365
00:18:33,560 --> 00:18:35,680
It's like a sandwich but
on steroids,
366
00:18:35,720 --> 00:18:37,760
cos it's deep-fried in batter.
367
00:18:37,800 --> 00:18:39,680
Just so much flavour. Who would
have thought
368
00:18:39,720 --> 00:18:43,040
a bit of mashed potato, a few onions
and a few spices could produce
369
00:18:43,080 --> 00:18:45,320
something so delicious?
370
00:18:45,360 --> 00:18:49,560
It's sweet and it's hot
and it's sharp with the chutneys.
371
00:18:49,600 --> 00:18:52,240
And I'll tell you what -
for a deep-fried sandwich,
372
00:18:52,280 --> 00:18:54,000
it is very well presented.
373
00:18:55,440 --> 00:18:58,640
Anurag, well done. 15 minutes now
for this curry. Yeah?
374
00:18:58,680 --> 00:18:59,760
Thank you.
375
00:19:01,560 --> 00:19:03,320
What have you got left to go
on the plate?
376
00:19:03,360 --> 00:19:04,880
Onion rings. Chicken.
377
00:19:06,640 --> 00:19:09,800
Let's hope that chicken breast
is roasted to perfection
378
00:19:09,840 --> 00:19:11,360
with a juicy middle.
379
00:19:11,400 --> 00:19:13,560
There's flavours on there
that really jump out at me
380
00:19:13,600 --> 00:19:14,960
that I love. Curry sauce -
381
00:19:15,000 --> 00:19:18,120
I'm a big sucker for a nice,
warming curry sauce.
382
00:19:18,160 --> 00:19:19,440
Fabulous.
383
00:19:19,480 --> 00:19:21,440
I like the look of this, Anurag.
384
00:19:24,000 --> 00:19:26,760
Give them a big smile, my friend.
Give them a big smile.
385
00:19:26,800 --> 00:19:29,040
There we go. Go on, then.
Off you go. Thank you very much.
386
00:19:32,880 --> 00:19:34,360
Hello again. Hi! Hello.
387
00:19:35,480 --> 00:19:36,480
Thank you.
388
00:19:37,840 --> 00:19:43,040
Anurag's main is roasted
chicken breast with basmati rice,
389
00:19:43,080 --> 00:19:43,120
Anurag's main is roasted
chicken breast with basmati rice,
390
00:19:43,160 --> 00:19:45,960
cucumber raita, pickled onion rings,
391
00:19:46,000 --> 00:19:50,480
crispy okra fries, finished with
a makhani curry sauce,
392
00:19:50,560 --> 00:19:53,800
made with cream, fenugreek
and garam masala.
393
00:19:56,360 --> 00:19:59,280
Oh! I feel relieved.
394
00:20:00,560 --> 00:20:02,920
I was worried about my chicken
breast, whether it will be
395
00:20:02,960 --> 00:20:05,000
too dry. But I'm glad.
I think it turned out well
396
00:20:05,040 --> 00:20:06,800
when I cut through it. It felt nice.
397
00:20:06,840 --> 00:20:08,520
Hopefully it tastes nice as well.
398
00:20:10,640 --> 00:20:12,120
The curry sauce is delicious.
399
00:20:12,160 --> 00:20:14,040
It's well spiced,
it's well seasoned.
400
00:20:14,080 --> 00:20:15,880
It's the best thing about
the whole dish.
401
00:20:15,920 --> 00:20:18,680
But I'm sad to say that my chicken
is just quite tough.
402
00:20:18,720 --> 00:20:20,920
It's just quite hard to get into.
The curry sauce,
403
00:20:20,960 --> 00:20:23,160
totally agree with you. It's nice.
It's warming.
404
00:20:23,200 --> 00:20:25,440
The rice, I think, cooked perfectly.
405
00:20:25,480 --> 00:20:28,720
Individually, I think the flavours
are OK, but for me,
406
00:20:28,760 --> 00:20:32,360
it just needs that extra oomph,
which it doesn't have.
407
00:20:32,400 --> 00:20:36,040
The makhani sauce, rich and spicy
with all that cream in there.
408
00:20:36,080 --> 00:20:37,840
The crispy okra, lovely and crisp.
409
00:20:37,880 --> 00:20:40,720
That's really good.
Perfectly cooked rice.
410
00:20:40,760 --> 00:20:43,160
But the chicken breast is going
a little dry.
411
00:20:48,000 --> 00:20:51,720
Omar is cooking prawn toast.
We've got chilli oil, which I love.
412
00:20:51,760 --> 00:20:55,000
Sweetcorn puree which could be
delicious, and add a sweetness.
413
00:20:55,040 --> 00:20:56,760
If he balances out all those
flavours,
414
00:20:56,800 --> 00:20:58,360
this is a banger of a dish.
415
00:20:59,840 --> 00:21:02,120
And prawn toast. There's no Chinese
takeaway I'm ordering
416
00:21:02,160 --> 00:21:04,320
without prawn toast. Yeah.
417
00:21:04,360 --> 00:21:07,120
That's massive. I thought we were
going to get little flat bits,
418
00:21:07,160 --> 00:21:09,360
like you get from the takeaway.
OMAR CHUCKLES
419
00:21:09,400 --> 00:21:12,080
Mate! Not today. It's a Gregg-size
portion. Luxurious!
420
00:21:13,560 --> 00:21:15,800
My mouth is watering
thinking about this dish.
421
00:21:17,720 --> 00:21:19,520
Go knock them dead. Let's go.
422
00:21:19,560 --> 00:21:21,960
It looks beautiful.
Proper Omar dish. Well done.
423
00:21:24,720 --> 00:21:25,880
Hey. Hi!
424
00:21:28,400 --> 00:21:31,520
So I made for you a prawn toast
with a sweetcorn puree,
425
00:21:31,560 --> 00:21:34,000
some pickled radishes,
and a chilli oil.
426
00:21:34,040 --> 00:21:35,680
Thank you. Nice. Thank you.
427
00:21:35,720 --> 00:21:37,280
Looks great. Cheers.
428
00:21:42,400 --> 00:21:45,440
He's got big pieces of prawn
in the prawn toast instead
429
00:21:45,480 --> 00:21:47,600
of it all being mushed together.
430
00:21:47,640 --> 00:21:51,200
It's kind of retro fabulous, isn't
it, with the yellow sweetcorn
431
00:21:51,240 --> 00:21:53,160
and the pink radishes on top?
432
00:21:53,200 --> 00:21:55,400
The chilli oil is properly hot.
433
00:21:55,440 --> 00:21:57,880
Deliciously aromatic prawn cake.
434
00:21:57,920 --> 00:21:59,200
I...
435
00:21:59,240 --> 00:22:02,240
I want to take Omar home.
LAUGHTER
436
00:22:02,280 --> 00:22:04,800
The sweetcorn is silky smooth
and lovely,
437
00:22:04,840 --> 00:22:08,440
and soft and sweet.
It's a stand-out dish, so bravo.
438
00:22:08,480 --> 00:22:09,520
Fantastic.
439
00:22:10,800 --> 00:22:12,720
Love the sweetness of the
corn puree.
440
00:22:12,760 --> 00:22:16,200
Love the sesame nuttiness that's
running through the prawn toast.
441
00:22:16,240 --> 00:22:18,640
And there's a great deal
of chilli to finish with.
442
00:22:21,240 --> 00:22:24,440
Right, Omar, you've got 15 minutes
till the next plate. Well done.
443
00:22:24,480 --> 00:22:26,120
I've got to fry off my vegetables,
444
00:22:26,160 --> 00:22:28,640
roll up my noodles, cook my noodles.
445
00:22:29,840 --> 00:22:31,800
I think that's pretty much
everything.
446
00:22:31,840 --> 00:22:35,440
I love the idea of Omar's main,
but I am really worried for him
447
00:22:35,480 --> 00:22:38,640
about how he's going to make
the handmade noodles in such a short
448
00:22:38,680 --> 00:22:41,280
space of time, with so many other
elements that he's got to get
449
00:22:41,320 --> 00:22:42,440
ready as well.
450
00:22:47,680 --> 00:22:50,200
Nice collection of ingredients
there, mate.
451
00:22:50,240 --> 00:22:51,240
Thank you.
452
00:22:54,040 --> 00:22:55,400
Just drop them on from a height.
453
00:22:55,440 --> 00:22:57,640
Yeah, they look lovely,
don't they?
454
00:22:57,680 --> 00:23:02,040
I love the idea of a really
kind of wholesome broth.
455
00:23:02,080 --> 00:23:03,360
Oh, that tastes nice.
456
00:23:03,400 --> 00:23:07,000
It's got a lovely kind of balance of
quite healthy and then some lovely
457
00:23:07,040 --> 00:23:10,040
fried stuff in there to get our
taste buds kind of tantalised,
458
00:23:10,080 --> 00:23:12,240
so I'm kind of really excited.
459
00:23:12,280 --> 00:23:13,800
Are you happy with it? I'm happy.
460
00:23:13,840 --> 00:23:15,760
Well done. Thank you.
Well done, mate.
461
00:23:17,800 --> 00:23:19,320
Hey! Hey. Hi!
462
00:23:24,320 --> 00:23:28,080
Omar's made crispy chicken
and mushroom ramen,
463
00:23:28,120 --> 00:23:32,560
flavoured with sesame, lemongrass
and gochujang paste,
464
00:23:32,600 --> 00:23:32,960
flavoured with sesame, lemongrass
and gochujang paste,
465
00:23:33,000 --> 00:23:36,240
with water chestnuts and handmade
noodles.
466
00:23:40,280 --> 00:23:42,560
Honestly, these cannot be handmade.
Oh!
467
00:23:42,600 --> 00:23:43,680
Look at them.
468
00:23:43,720 --> 00:23:45,280
They look shop-bought. No!
469
00:23:49,040 --> 00:23:51,560
The chicken has the most delicious
crispy skin.
470
00:23:51,600 --> 00:23:53,560
It's tender and perfect.
471
00:23:53,600 --> 00:23:56,720
The water chestnuts have got a tiny
bit of caramelisation on them.
472
00:23:56,760 --> 00:23:59,080
There's flecks of red chilli
just to spark up
473
00:23:59,120 --> 00:24:02,280
all those flavours.
It's technically genius.
474
00:24:02,320 --> 00:24:04,800
I'm still not over how good
these noodles look.
475
00:24:04,840 --> 00:24:08,840
I mean, they are so thin,
so fine, and so regular.
476
00:24:08,880 --> 00:24:12,120
That broth! I mean, I could bath
in that broth.
477
00:24:12,160 --> 00:24:13,720
There's so much going on.
478
00:24:13,760 --> 00:24:17,240
Rich sesame, the chicken.
It's dancing around the tongue.
479
00:24:17,280 --> 00:24:19,360
Gee, yeah, this guy can really cook.
480
00:24:20,720 --> 00:24:23,200
We wanted crispy chicken skin.
We got the crispy chicken skin.
481
00:24:23,240 --> 00:24:25,680
We wanted noodles which had a snap.
We've got those noodles.
482
00:24:25,720 --> 00:24:27,440
I think that's really good.
483
00:24:27,480 --> 00:24:31,560
That broth starts with peanut
butter, goes salty, goes quite
484
00:24:31,600 --> 00:24:34,000
vinegary, and then finishes
with chilli.
485
00:24:34,040 --> 00:24:37,040
It's just very unusual.
But then that's Omar, right?
486
00:24:41,880 --> 00:24:44,520
That was amazing. You don't get
the chance to take in that
487
00:24:44,560 --> 00:24:48,040
there's three winners up there
that you've idolised for years.
488
00:24:48,080 --> 00:24:50,920
So, yeah, just taking a moment
and a breath.
489
00:24:56,840 --> 00:24:59,200
Quarterfinal days we know
are always big.
490
00:24:59,240 --> 00:25:01,160
It was an extraordinary
array of food.
491
00:25:01,200 --> 00:25:03,480
We got the comments from the guests
in the dining room.
492
00:25:03,520 --> 00:25:05,960
Brilliant feedback.
We now need to make a decision.
493
00:25:07,760 --> 00:25:11,680
Omar, we know, is a really,
really adventurous cook.
494
00:25:11,720 --> 00:25:15,320
He has got applauded by us
and also by the dining room.
495
00:25:15,360 --> 00:25:18,440
There's no reason why Omar
doesn't go through to Knockout Week.
496
00:25:18,480 --> 00:25:21,360
Is that agreed? Put him through.
Omar deserves it.
497
00:25:21,400 --> 00:25:23,840
Then there's really question
marks over the other three.
498
00:25:24,880 --> 00:25:26,440
I thought Anurag's starter
499
00:25:26,480 --> 00:25:29,200
had an element of fun,
and the dining room
500
00:25:29,240 --> 00:25:30,560
really enjoyed it.
501
00:25:30,600 --> 00:25:32,600
His main course - chicken curry.
502
00:25:32,640 --> 00:25:36,280
We had a really lovely makhani
sauce, but that chicken breast
503
00:25:36,320 --> 00:25:37,640
was slightly dry.
504
00:25:38,680 --> 00:25:42,240
Adam cooked a nice spicy
bean chorizo stew,
505
00:25:42,280 --> 00:25:44,080
but we didn't get the tuile.
506
00:25:44,120 --> 00:25:47,440
That dessert, it was skilful.
Very good pastry.
507
00:25:47,480 --> 00:25:50,440
And the guests in the dining
room were impressed by it.
508
00:25:51,880 --> 00:25:54,160
For the first time in
the competition, Forest cooked
509
00:25:54,200 --> 00:25:57,360
a savoury dish. But it was some
noodles out of a packet,
510
00:25:57,400 --> 00:26:00,720
a bit of cheese sauce and a lobster
tail. There wasn't a lot to it.
511
00:26:00,760 --> 00:26:03,440
I thought Forest did
Eton mess a good service.
512
00:26:03,480 --> 00:26:06,000
The feedback from the dining
room is that you've messed
513
00:26:06,040 --> 00:26:08,200
around with Eton mess too much,
it needs some cream to
514
00:26:08,240 --> 00:26:09,400
bring it all together.
515
00:26:13,120 --> 00:26:14,920
Right now, we've got a decision
to make.
516
00:26:14,960 --> 00:26:17,240
We know that we can only take
the best cooks with us.
517
00:26:17,280 --> 00:26:19,240
Who stays? Who goes?
518
00:26:20,400 --> 00:26:22,880
I don't want to leave. I think I'm
going to have to be pulled out
519
00:26:22,920 --> 00:26:25,520
of here screaming, cos I'm not done.
I'm not done at all.
520
00:26:26,920 --> 00:26:31,000
Personally, I think I did a decent
enough job, but you never know.
521
00:26:32,640 --> 00:26:34,960
I would love to stay as long
as possible,
522
00:26:35,000 --> 00:26:37,560
yeah, but everybody else
is so good as well
523
00:26:37,600 --> 00:26:39,440
so I'll just leave it to the judges.
524
00:26:49,560 --> 00:26:52,880
That was an extraordinary
quarterfinal. At the start of this,
525
00:26:52,920 --> 00:26:56,080
we did say we could only take
the best cooks with us,
526
00:26:56,120 --> 00:26:59,680
and we have decided that one
of you is leaving us.
527
00:27:03,200 --> 00:27:05,160
The person leaving us is...
528
00:27:10,360 --> 00:27:11,360
..is Forest.
529
00:27:12,520 --> 00:27:15,000
Lovely having you in
the competition. Great to meet you.
530
00:27:15,040 --> 00:27:18,120
I'm sorry you're leaving us.
Thank you. Cheers.
531
00:27:23,880 --> 00:27:27,040
Today the competition has been
incredibly tough.
532
00:27:27,080 --> 00:27:30,200
A bit disappointing,
but I had so much fun.
533
00:27:30,240 --> 00:27:32,960
You know, I'm still very,
very glad that I went this far.
534
00:27:37,720 --> 00:27:39,200
Congratulations, you three.
535
00:27:39,240 --> 00:27:41,120
You are through to Knockout Week.
536
00:27:41,160 --> 00:27:43,600
LAUGHTER
537
00:27:44,880 --> 00:27:46,880
What?! Come on!
538
00:27:48,320 --> 00:27:49,640
What?!
539
00:27:49,680 --> 00:27:51,160
That is incredible.
540
00:27:51,200 --> 00:27:53,600
Once again, I had my name just
going through my head,
541
00:27:53,640 --> 00:27:55,960
"You're going out that door."
And I'm still here.
542
00:27:57,640 --> 00:27:59,400
I'm feeling just top of the world.
543
00:27:59,440 --> 00:28:01,760
That's what I came here for,
544
00:28:01,800 --> 00:28:05,000
and I am so glad today
they liked my cooking.
545
00:28:05,040 --> 00:28:07,560
I feel like now I've got the little
pat on the back,
546
00:28:07,600 --> 00:28:10,320
a bit of confidence. I think there's
hopefully no stopping me.
547
00:28:14,880 --> 00:28:18,520
Next time, nine new hopefuls...
548
00:28:18,560 --> 00:28:20,840
I'm stressing! Ah!
549
00:28:20,880 --> 00:28:24,520
..audition for the right to wear
a coveted MasterChef apron...
550
00:28:24,560 --> 00:28:27,040
Can't believe it! Five minutes, ah!
551
00:28:28,480 --> 00:28:31,760
..and to secure their place
in the competition.
552
00:28:31,800 --> 00:28:33,960
Wow. This is something I've
never seen before.
553
00:28:35,640 --> 00:28:36,760
It's divine.
