We're searching for Britain's best family of home cooks... | 0:00:02 | 0:00:05 | |
Go, go, go. | 0:00:05 | 0:00:07 | |
..the people who make ordinary food extraordinary. | 0:00:07 | 0:00:10 | |
You've never seen anything like it in your life! | 0:00:10 | 0:00:12 | |
From teenagers and grandparents... | 0:00:12 | 0:00:14 | |
That is delicious. | 0:00:14 | 0:00:16 | |
..to brothers and sisters | 0:00:16 | 0:00:18 | |
and sons and daughters. | 0:00:18 | 0:00:20 | |
Get in! | 0:00:20 | 0:00:21 | |
16 families have served up their best dishes, hoping to impress | 0:00:21 | 0:00:24 | |
the judges. | 0:00:24 | 0:00:26 | |
Wow! | 0:00:26 | 0:00:28 | |
That is very, very, very competent. | 0:00:28 | 0:00:30 | |
Now it's the last of our semifinals. | 0:00:31 | 0:00:34 | |
Tonight, our remaining families | 0:00:34 | 0:00:36 | |
will battle it out for a place in the final. | 0:00:36 | 0:00:38 | |
You've been cooking on a low heat up to now, | 0:00:38 | 0:00:41 | |
but it's time to turn it up. | 0:00:41 | 0:00:43 | |
And the judges bring back one family as their wild card. | 0:00:44 | 0:00:48 | |
This is going to put the cat amongst the pigeons. | 0:00:49 | 0:00:52 | |
There's so much potential to go wrong. | 0:00:52 | 0:00:55 | |
Oh! | 0:00:55 | 0:00:56 | |
Zoe Ball, you are evil! | 0:00:56 | 0:00:58 | |
Right, we need to be plating up, boys. | 0:00:58 | 0:01:00 | |
They're going to have to listen to each other. | 0:01:00 | 0:01:02 | |
Beef, no, course, yeah. Of course it's, beef and steak... | 0:01:02 | 0:01:04 | |
You've shot yourself in the foot! | 0:01:04 | 0:01:06 | |
Probably not the best thing to do, cooking pasta for an Italian. | 0:01:06 | 0:01:09 | |
-I want to cry. -I want to cry, too. | 0:01:10 | 0:01:12 | |
But only one can go through to the final. | 0:01:12 | 0:01:15 | |
The family going through are... | 0:01:15 | 0:01:19 | |
This is The Big Family Cooking Showdown. | 0:01:22 | 0:01:25 | |
We're back in the Kent countryside and our last three families will be | 0:01:37 | 0:01:42 | |
put through their paces to cook for a place in the final. | 0:01:42 | 0:01:45 | |
Yeah, I'm very excited. | 0:01:49 | 0:01:51 | |
A bit nervous. | 0:01:51 | 0:01:53 | |
The Bellamores are the first to arrive. | 0:01:53 | 0:01:56 | |
All right? Now, calm thoughts, you two, OK? | 0:01:56 | 0:02:01 | |
The drive here was, well, I had to stop the car | 0:02:01 | 0:02:04 | |
and have a word with my brother to calm him down and say, | 0:02:04 | 0:02:07 | |
"Right, just stop because you've got to enjoy yourself," because | 0:02:07 | 0:02:10 | |
he was getting so nervous, so we've just got to go for it. | 0:02:10 | 0:02:12 | |
They're joined by the Pigott brothers. | 0:02:13 | 0:02:15 | |
-Are you ready? -Yes, I am. | 0:02:16 | 0:02:19 | |
Have we got a game plan, do you reckon? | 0:02:19 | 0:02:20 | |
Do we have a game plan? | 0:02:20 | 0:02:22 | |
No, I think we're going to go and try and do as well as we can. | 0:02:22 | 0:02:24 | |
-Try not to fall out. -Try not to fall out, and enjoy it. | 0:02:24 | 0:02:28 | |
Our big thing is to come out still as friends. | 0:02:28 | 0:02:31 | |
And finally, the judges' wild card. | 0:02:32 | 0:02:35 | |
I see they really have a great pleasure of cooking together, | 0:02:37 | 0:02:41 | |
of being together. | 0:02:41 | 0:02:42 | |
There are several families we could have actually chosen from, | 0:02:44 | 0:02:47 | |
but in the end of the day I do feel it should be the Massaccesis. | 0:02:47 | 0:02:53 | |
It means so much, and the fact that we've got here again, | 0:02:53 | 0:02:56 | |
I didn't think I'd ever be like this | 0:02:56 | 0:02:58 | |
because I'm so cool at home in the kitchen, aren't I? | 0:02:58 | 0:03:00 | |
But because it means so much and there's so much up for grabs now. | 0:03:00 | 0:03:04 | |
First, the families will face a challenge that they | 0:03:06 | 0:03:09 | |
haven't been able to prepare for. | 0:03:09 | 0:03:11 | |
Hello, families! Welcome back to the barn. | 0:03:20 | 0:03:24 | |
You've been cooking on a low heat up to now, but it's time to turn it up | 0:03:24 | 0:03:28 | |
for the semifinals. | 0:03:28 | 0:03:30 | |
First, it's the What's In The Fridge challenge. | 0:03:30 | 0:03:34 | |
That's right. Today the judges want to test your creativity | 0:03:34 | 0:03:37 | |
as home cooks. | 0:03:37 | 0:03:39 | |
They've provided you with a limited number of ingredients. | 0:03:39 | 0:03:42 | |
You have one hour to cook a main course for four people. | 0:03:42 | 0:03:48 | |
No time to lose, let's get cooking. | 0:03:48 | 0:03:50 | |
-This is what we have in our fridge at home! -No. | 0:03:54 | 0:03:56 | |
This is not what we have in our fridge at home. | 0:03:56 | 0:03:58 | |
Each of the families have been given the same ingredients to choose from, | 0:03:58 | 0:04:02 | |
including bacon, blue cheese and beef mince. | 0:04:02 | 0:04:06 | |
We could do, like, an open burger on a puff pastry base. | 0:04:06 | 0:04:09 | |
That's not a thing, is it? | 0:04:09 | 0:04:12 | |
A variety of vegetables such as aubergine, Savoy cabbage | 0:04:12 | 0:04:15 | |
and sweet potatoes. | 0:04:15 | 0:04:16 | |
You could do some sweet potato wedges, would that be all right? | 0:04:16 | 0:04:19 | |
Would that go? | 0:04:19 | 0:04:20 | |
And dry ingredients like tinned tomatoes, | 0:04:20 | 0:04:23 | |
cashew nuts and chocolate. | 0:04:23 | 0:04:24 | |
-We could do a veggie, there's aubergine. -Yeah. | 0:04:24 | 0:04:27 | |
I think this is the most exciting challenge of all, because before, | 0:04:27 | 0:04:30 | |
they've always had time to practise. | 0:04:30 | 0:04:32 | |
But, because they're going to have to think on the hoof, | 0:04:32 | 0:04:34 | |
one of the most important things is teamwork. | 0:04:34 | 0:04:36 | |
-What about the noodles? -We don't have to use everything. | 0:04:36 | 0:04:39 | |
They're going to have to listen to each other because if they don't, | 0:04:39 | 0:04:43 | |
they will get into a tizzy about the whole thing. | 0:04:43 | 0:04:45 | |
-Just not sure about blue cheese and beef. -No. | 0:04:45 | 0:04:47 | |
-Beef and, no, of course. -Goes nice. | 0:04:47 | 0:04:49 | |
Of course it is. Beef steak and Stilton, yes. | 0:04:49 | 0:04:51 | |
This is the challenge that is going to put the cat amongst the pigeons. | 0:04:51 | 0:04:54 | |
This is difficult, isn't it? | 0:04:54 | 0:04:56 | |
Can you feel the anxiety in here? | 0:04:56 | 0:04:58 | |
It's gone really, really quiet, and no doubt it's going to suddenly | 0:04:58 | 0:05:01 | |
just get hectic and ramp up. | 0:05:01 | 0:05:03 | |
-We could do a lasagne. -Have we got time? | 0:05:03 | 0:05:06 | |
-Have we got time to do a lasagne? -With puff pastry. -No, no. | 0:05:06 | 0:05:08 | |
-We're going to make a pasta. -I was going to say, pasta. | 0:05:08 | 0:05:11 | |
-We'll make some strips of pasta. -Yes. | 0:05:11 | 0:05:12 | |
-You make the beef mince and the stock. -Let's do that. | 0:05:12 | 0:05:14 | |
-Then we layer up. -Let's do that. | 0:05:14 | 0:05:16 | |
I have a feeling we'll get something quite traditional with them. | 0:05:16 | 0:05:18 | |
From the available ingredients, | 0:05:18 | 0:05:20 | |
the Bellamores have opted to use the minced beef and tinned tomatoes | 0:05:20 | 0:05:23 | |
to make an Italian classic, lasagne. | 0:05:23 | 0:05:26 | |
I'm so nervous at the moment, | 0:05:26 | 0:05:28 | |
I'm just struggling to chop some garlic. | 0:05:28 | 0:05:30 | |
But if we can just calm down and have confidence in ourselves, | 0:05:30 | 0:05:33 | |
we'll be absolutely fine. | 0:05:33 | 0:05:34 | |
But at the moment we're just like... | 0:05:34 | 0:05:36 | |
For Jo, her brother Mark and his nephew Ross, working as a trio | 0:05:37 | 0:05:42 | |
makes a quiet change from family life back in Wales. | 0:05:42 | 0:05:46 | |
THEY CHEER | 0:05:46 | 0:05:47 | |
So, we get together, it tends to be a sort of 50-strong crowd, | 0:05:47 | 0:05:50 | |
so it is literally rent-a-crowd. | 0:05:50 | 0:05:52 | |
Quick couple of phone calls and they're all over the hill, | 0:05:52 | 0:05:54 | |
through the valleys. | 0:05:54 | 0:05:55 | |
-All for under a fiver in a taxi. -Yeah, exactly! | 0:05:55 | 0:05:58 | |
In the previous round, there were moments of chaos. | 0:05:58 | 0:06:01 | |
All looking good, nice and calm. | 0:06:01 | 0:06:03 | |
BOWL CLATTERS | 0:06:03 | 0:06:05 | |
Don't worry. Don't worry. | 0:06:05 | 0:06:08 | |
But also flashes of brilliance. | 0:06:08 | 0:06:09 | |
You've produced one of the best fish that I've tasted under salt. | 0:06:09 | 0:06:14 | |
I'll come back to your house to have it whenever you make it again! | 0:06:14 | 0:06:17 | |
Mark is in charge of making the main part of their lasagne. | 0:06:20 | 0:06:24 | |
I think in terms of getting the judges' eye, | 0:06:24 | 0:06:26 | |
making your own pasta's pretty challenging, so fingers crossed. | 0:06:26 | 0:06:29 | |
I think it's quite ambitious of Mark to be making his own pasta, | 0:06:29 | 0:06:32 | |
but I know he's confident | 0:06:32 | 0:06:35 | |
and I'm confident that he's going to pull that off. | 0:06:35 | 0:06:38 | |
I've got faith in you, Mark. | 0:06:38 | 0:06:40 | |
-Are you all right at the back there, Mark? -Oh, great, thanks. | 0:06:40 | 0:06:42 | |
How's your home-made pasta coming along? | 0:06:42 | 0:06:45 | |
The first batch, just re-kneading this, | 0:06:45 | 0:06:46 | |
adding a little bit more flour into it. | 0:06:46 | 0:06:48 | |
Take your time, Mark, take your time. He has a little rush! | 0:06:48 | 0:06:51 | |
-A nervous rush. -Take your time, that's nice, take your time. | 0:06:51 | 0:06:54 | |
And all the other challenges, you've been able to plan and practise - | 0:06:54 | 0:06:58 | |
-unless you're Ross. -Still be late, but, yes! | 0:06:58 | 0:07:00 | |
In the kitchen, Jo and Mark, | 0:07:00 | 0:07:02 | |
they're great at the start and then as time slowly ebbs away, | 0:07:02 | 0:07:06 | |
the stress levels go up, the sweat levels go up. | 0:07:06 | 0:07:11 | |
-Good luck with it all. -Thank you. Thank you very much. | 0:07:11 | 0:07:13 | |
-We could do meatballs and stuff them with blue cheese. -That's a better idea. | 0:07:13 | 0:07:16 | |
-We can do that. -OK. -And do them in a rich tomato sauce. | 0:07:16 | 0:07:19 | |
But then what are we serving it with? | 0:07:19 | 0:07:20 | |
The Pigotts, there doesn't seem to be a natural leader, | 0:07:20 | 0:07:23 | |
-they all seem to just work together. -They work together really well. | 0:07:23 | 0:07:26 | |
They kind of love it. | 0:07:26 | 0:07:28 | |
The Pigotts are also planning to use the minced beef. | 0:07:28 | 0:07:30 | |
They're adding blue cheese and bacon to make spicy meatballs. | 0:07:30 | 0:07:34 | |
Shall I start making the tomato sauce, maybe? | 0:07:34 | 0:07:36 | |
Yes. They need to be cooked down. | 0:07:36 | 0:07:38 | |
So do you want half an onion in that? | 0:07:38 | 0:07:40 | |
Yes. | 0:07:40 | 0:07:41 | |
Eldest brother Matt, middle brother Ed | 0:07:43 | 0:07:45 | |
and youngest Sam have clearly defined roles in their family. | 0:07:45 | 0:07:49 | |
I'd say I'm the intelligence, Ed's probably the looks, | 0:07:49 | 0:07:52 | |
he's got dazzling looks, and Sam's the wit, he's the fun one. | 0:07:52 | 0:07:56 | |
You might say he's the chef de par-tay! | 0:07:56 | 0:07:58 | |
Yeah, I'll take that. | 0:07:58 | 0:07:59 | |
You've been thinking about that, haven't you?! | 0:07:59 | 0:08:02 | |
-NADIYA: -They showed their passion for using bold flavour combinations | 0:08:02 | 0:08:05 | |
in the previous round. | 0:08:05 | 0:08:07 | |
What's going in there, Sam? | 0:08:07 | 0:08:09 | |
Allspice, sugar, coriander, Scotch bonnets, garlic, ginger. | 0:08:09 | 0:08:12 | |
-I think that might be it. -And one, two, three, four, | 0:08:12 | 0:08:15 | |
-five Scotch bonnets. -Five Scotch bonnets. | 0:08:15 | 0:08:17 | |
Rosemary and Giorgio were impressed that they pushed themselves. | 0:08:17 | 0:08:21 | |
Brilliant! Not too hot, really delicious and, you know, | 0:08:21 | 0:08:26 | |
you've got it absolutely perfectly balanced. | 0:08:26 | 0:08:28 | |
But sometimes they misjudged the basics. | 0:08:28 | 0:08:31 | |
Just by looking at this, I'm going to tell you it's not quite cooked. | 0:08:31 | 0:08:34 | |
It's a bit thick. | 0:08:34 | 0:08:35 | |
What I would do is put the courgettes in with the tomato sauce to go with the meatballs. | 0:08:37 | 0:08:41 | |
Or roast the aubergines to go in it as well, Sam. | 0:08:41 | 0:08:44 | |
-Do you want that? -Yeah, shall we get the aubergines in to roast? -Yeah. | 0:08:44 | 0:08:47 | |
So, spirits are good between the three of you. | 0:08:47 | 0:08:49 | |
Do you know what your jobs are? | 0:08:49 | 0:08:51 | |
Yeah, we've all got our things to do. | 0:08:51 | 0:08:53 | |
We haven't completely finished our menu yet. | 0:08:53 | 0:08:56 | |
-Are you winging it a little bit? -Um... -Obviously. -..yeah. | 0:08:56 | 0:09:00 | |
But that is sort of how we deal with life. | 0:09:00 | 0:09:02 | |
If we came to your house now, what would be in your fridge? | 0:09:02 | 0:09:05 | |
-Kebabs. -Yeah. | 0:09:06 | 0:09:08 | |
I love a leftover kebab the next day. | 0:09:08 | 0:09:10 | |
I think, you know, why let anything go to waste? | 0:09:10 | 0:09:13 | |
I have heated up a curry on a radiator before. | 0:09:13 | 0:09:15 | |
-That is something else! -When desperate! Good luck. | 0:09:15 | 0:09:17 | |
I was going to say good luck, but you're not the ones that need it. | 0:09:17 | 0:09:20 | |
-So, you need to get going. -I know. -So, finely dice that. | 0:09:20 | 0:09:23 | |
-Is this onion too big or not? -You only need about half. | 0:09:23 | 0:09:26 | |
-Half. -Yeah, half will be fine. | 0:09:26 | 0:09:28 | |
The Massaccesis are making their take on the traditional Greek dish, moussaka. | 0:09:28 | 0:09:33 | |
This is one of the dishes we do, and we love it, the moussaka, we love it, | 0:09:33 | 0:09:37 | |
I love it. And Niamh actually makes a good one. | 0:09:37 | 0:09:39 | |
She's very good at this one. | 0:09:39 | 0:09:42 | |
Teresa has always been the boss of the Massaccesis. | 0:09:42 | 0:09:44 | |
Will she be in charge today, will she get much choice, | 0:09:44 | 0:09:46 | |
will she tell the others what she thinks they should do? | 0:09:46 | 0:09:48 | |
Do you want to do the meat sauce, or do you want to slice those and slice those? | 0:09:48 | 0:09:53 | |
Because we haven't got much time. | 0:09:53 | 0:09:54 | |
-Well, I don't mind. -What would you feel easier doing? | 0:09:54 | 0:09:57 | |
Slicing. | 0:09:57 | 0:09:58 | |
Husband and wife Giordano and Teresa have passed down their love of cooking | 0:10:00 | 0:10:03 | |
to 16-year-old daughter Niamh. | 0:10:03 | 0:10:05 | |
I don't really know what we'd do without food, to be honest. | 0:10:05 | 0:10:08 | |
-It's all we talk about. -It's the one thing we come together as a family. | 0:10:08 | 0:10:13 | |
We talk about it so much that we probably bore other people. | 0:10:13 | 0:10:15 | |
-Do you think we do? -Well, yeah, they call us the feeders. | 0:10:15 | 0:10:18 | |
Yeah, we are feeders. | 0:10:19 | 0:10:21 | |
In the previous round, stress often got to them. | 0:10:21 | 0:10:24 | |
-Dad, don't go any further. -No, that's enough. | 0:10:24 | 0:10:27 | |
Really, stop. Honestly, it's enough. | 0:10:27 | 0:10:29 | |
-I'll stop. -No, you're going too far now because it'll end up splitting. | 0:10:29 | 0:10:33 | |
But the judges were wowed by the Italian family recipes. | 0:10:33 | 0:10:37 | |
The pasta's exactly the right thickness. | 0:10:37 | 0:10:40 | |
It's perfectly cooked. | 0:10:40 | 0:10:41 | |
You must have perfected this for years. | 0:10:41 | 0:10:44 | |
We've cooked it a lot. | 0:10:44 | 0:10:46 | |
And that's why they've given them another chance as their wild card. | 0:10:46 | 0:10:50 | |
They can be just fried in the pan, Niamh, | 0:10:52 | 0:10:54 | |
just fry them off, because there won't be too much time, | 0:10:54 | 0:10:56 | |
otherwise they'll be raw. | 0:10:56 | 0:10:57 | |
Niamh and Giordano are preparing the aubergine | 0:10:57 | 0:11:00 | |
-for the moussaka. -Dad, you really need to keep an eye on these. | 0:11:00 | 0:11:03 | |
-Yeah, it's OK. -Look. -Leave it, leave it. | 0:11:03 | 0:11:05 | |
-Just want to brown it. -Yeah. | 0:11:05 | 0:11:07 | |
Make sure they're brown on both sides. | 0:11:07 | 0:11:08 | |
-Oh, my God, you're burning them. -Dad, please. | 0:11:08 | 0:11:10 | |
You haven't cooked them on that side. | 0:11:10 | 0:11:13 | |
This is typical Dad. | 0:11:13 | 0:11:15 | |
All will be OK. We're just doing fine, just... | 0:11:15 | 0:11:19 | |
-Could be dry. -I've had a quick nosy. | 0:11:23 | 0:11:26 | |
I think there seem to be similar ideas. | 0:11:26 | 0:11:28 | |
I've seen a bit of pasta making. | 0:11:30 | 0:11:32 | |
Oh, dear God! | 0:11:37 | 0:11:39 | |
-MARK: -Sticking in the machine. | 0:11:39 | 0:11:41 | |
-I want to cry. -ROSEMARY: -I want to cry, too. | 0:11:41 | 0:11:46 | |
Although Mark has made pasta before, the judges are concerned about his technique. | 0:11:46 | 0:11:50 | |
He needs to fold them over and then put it through again -, | 0:11:50 | 0:11:53 | |
about five times is about right. | 0:11:53 | 0:11:56 | |
So it kneads it, gets it to a good, you know, | 0:11:56 | 0:11:59 | |
good thing, but he's just taking it down, he's done nothing to it. | 0:11:59 | 0:12:03 | |
-MARK: -Probably not the best thing to do, cooking pasta for an Italian! | 0:12:06 | 0:12:09 | |
The cheese is slightly too big, so I'm going to break a tad off, I think. | 0:12:09 | 0:12:13 | |
With the Pigotts, Matt and Ed are stuffing their meatballs with blue cheese. | 0:12:13 | 0:12:18 | |
Here are your BIG beef balls, yes! | 0:12:18 | 0:12:20 | |
Rosemary - stop being such a tease, Rosemary, honestly. | 0:12:20 | 0:12:23 | |
Come over and flirt with me! | 0:12:25 | 0:12:27 | |
I wasn't doing that, I wasn't! | 0:12:27 | 0:12:31 | |
No, I wasn't doing that. | 0:12:31 | 0:12:32 | |
They are quite large, though, aren't they? | 0:12:32 | 0:12:34 | |
I've heard that before. | 0:12:34 | 0:12:36 | |
Thank you. | 0:12:37 | 0:12:39 | |
You are so naughty, boys! You are so naughty! | 0:12:39 | 0:12:43 | |
Kind of need to get these meatballs on, don't we? | 0:12:43 | 0:12:47 | |
-I saw you flirting with the Pigotts. -Thanks very much. -I did see you! | 0:12:47 | 0:12:50 | |
No, they were flirting with me! | 0:12:50 | 0:12:52 | |
Oh, sorry! They were flirting with you. | 0:12:52 | 0:12:53 | |
-Trying to get on my good side. -Ah, OK. | 0:12:53 | 0:12:57 | |
We need to get it in the oven. Giordano, you can put a layer of that sauce in. | 0:12:57 | 0:13:01 | |
-OK. -Right, layer it up with aubergines. | 0:13:01 | 0:13:04 | |
I'm just not sure about the blue cheese. | 0:13:04 | 0:13:07 | |
We'll put a little bit on the top, but not through the layers. | 0:13:07 | 0:13:10 | |
-NIAMH: -This is quite risky. -That'll do, I think, Giordano. | 0:13:10 | 0:13:13 | |
-No more, no more, we don't want it to overpower. -No, Dad. | 0:13:13 | 0:13:16 | |
-OK. -Right, into the oven. Open the door. | 0:13:16 | 0:13:18 | |
-OK. -It's not a lot of time, is it? | 0:13:22 | 0:13:24 | |
It's not a lot of time. | 0:13:24 | 0:13:26 | |
When you're going completely from scratch, you're making it up, | 0:13:26 | 0:13:29 | |
you're guessing, then that's not a lot time. | 0:13:29 | 0:13:31 | |
-No, it's not. -And to get on the table. -No. | 0:13:31 | 0:13:34 | |
-We need to start getting it up. -Do you want me to... | 0:13:34 | 0:13:36 | |
-Come on, then, let's get it up. -What do you want, the layer of meat first? | 0:13:36 | 0:13:40 | |
-You just tell me what to do. -Layer the meat. | 0:13:40 | 0:13:43 | |
-While I'm here, I may as well. -OK. | 0:13:43 | 0:13:46 | |
-Just give me a job. -Mark, let's just get this in the oven, OK? | 0:13:46 | 0:13:50 | |
Brilliant, Jo. | 0:13:50 | 0:13:51 | |
Jo, I need a hand with this, OK? | 0:13:51 | 0:13:54 | |
That's nice and thin, Mark. You done really well there. | 0:13:57 | 0:14:00 | |
Right, the oven's on, yeah? | 0:14:00 | 0:14:02 | |
-Oven's on. Black pepper on top. -Lots of black pepper now. | 0:14:02 | 0:14:05 | |
OK. | 0:14:08 | 0:14:10 | |
Oh, yes. That's grilling up nicely. | 0:14:10 | 0:14:12 | |
I need to turn that down, now. | 0:14:12 | 0:14:14 | |
We'll be ready on time, hopefully. | 0:14:14 | 0:14:16 | |
All three families have their main meals in the oven and start working on side dishes. | 0:14:18 | 0:14:23 | |
Looking good. We're going to chop these sweet potato skins up really finely, | 0:14:23 | 0:14:27 | |
sort of like matchstick sizes and then cover them in some herbs and deep fry them so they're like | 0:14:27 | 0:14:31 | |
tiny little matchstick chips. We want to try and show that we've done | 0:14:31 | 0:14:34 | |
enough impressive techniques. I've never seen it and I don't know if they're going to be edible | 0:14:34 | 0:14:38 | |
or not, but it they're not, they go in the bin, if they are, they go on the plate. | 0:14:38 | 0:14:41 | |
Is that for the salad? | 0:14:49 | 0:14:50 | |
I just chopped loads of onions - that's what you told me to do. | 0:14:50 | 0:14:53 | |
Is that all right? | 0:14:53 | 0:14:55 | |
Quite hard to eat like that. | 0:14:55 | 0:14:57 | |
I would chop them. Let's have some nice diced. | 0:14:57 | 0:14:59 | |
-So that we get little... -Like this. -Lovely, yeah. | 0:14:59 | 0:15:04 | |
Even smaller, Ross, because nobody likes | 0:15:04 | 0:15:06 | |
a big, fat onion in their mouth, do they? | 0:15:06 | 0:15:08 | |
All right. | 0:15:10 | 0:15:11 | |
I wish you'd told me this earlier. | 0:15:13 | 0:15:14 | |
Stop moaning! | 0:15:16 | 0:15:18 | |
Dad, you're burning these. | 0:15:18 | 0:15:19 | |
You need to stay with what you're doing. | 0:15:19 | 0:15:21 | |
-Stop doing other stuff. -Stop walking away, multitasking. | 0:15:21 | 0:15:23 | |
-Leave that to us. -Five minutes left, | 0:15:23 | 0:15:27 | |
that's all you've got, families. | 0:15:27 | 0:15:29 | |
Right, we need to be plating up, boys. | 0:15:29 | 0:15:31 | |
-Sam, meatballs in. -In the big blue? -Yeah, I think so. | 0:15:31 | 0:15:34 | |
-Put it into that serving dish. -We're almost there, Jo, | 0:15:34 | 0:15:37 | |
we're going to be right on the money, I think. | 0:15:37 | 0:15:41 | |
They look good. | 0:15:41 | 0:15:42 | |
All you have to do is put it there. That's all you have to do. | 0:15:44 | 0:15:47 | |
Just shake them around and chuck them in the bowl. | 0:15:47 | 0:15:49 | |
We haven't got long. | 0:15:49 | 0:15:51 | |
It's a bit burnt on the top. | 0:15:51 | 0:15:52 | |
That's fine, that's fine. | 0:15:52 | 0:15:54 | |
-Nice. Well done, Sam. -Made all the difference. | 0:15:54 | 0:15:56 | |
-Beautiful. -That'll do. Lovely. | 0:15:57 | 0:16:02 | |
Move the cloth. | 0:16:02 | 0:16:03 | |
I see, OK. | 0:16:03 | 0:16:04 | |
There you go. | 0:16:04 | 0:16:06 | |
Right. | 0:16:06 | 0:16:08 | |
Time's up, families. | 0:16:08 | 0:16:10 | |
Step away from the pans. | 0:16:10 | 0:16:14 | |
Hands up! | 0:16:14 | 0:16:16 | |
Theirs looks way more clean than ours. | 0:16:16 | 0:16:18 | |
-It's pretty clean. -That bit is. | 0:16:18 | 0:16:20 | |
Well done, kids. | 0:16:20 | 0:16:21 | |
Rosemary and Giorgio asked the families to cook a meal for four | 0:16:25 | 0:16:29 | |
using the ingredients available to them. | 0:16:29 | 0:16:32 | |
I think this looks so inviting. | 0:16:32 | 0:16:34 | |
I love the caramelisation on the top, really good. | 0:16:34 | 0:16:37 | |
The Massaccesis have made a beef moussaka served with sweet potato wedges | 0:16:37 | 0:16:43 | |
and courgette, cabbage and bacon. | 0:16:43 | 0:16:46 | |
First of all, the flavour of the tomato is lovely, | 0:16:55 | 0:16:58 | |
but the problem is the meat - it needed more time. | 0:16:58 | 0:17:01 | |
I quite like that blue cheese, but it's a little bit too much for me. | 0:17:01 | 0:17:05 | |
I think it's just overpowered it slightly. | 0:17:05 | 0:17:08 | |
If you had enough time, this could be a very good dish. | 0:17:08 | 0:17:12 | |
The flavours are very good through the dish. | 0:17:12 | 0:17:15 | |
I agree with Rosemary about the cooking of the meat. | 0:17:15 | 0:17:18 | |
As I'm spooning it out, | 0:17:18 | 0:17:20 | |
I can see that it's falling a little bit apart. | 0:17:20 | 0:17:22 | |
This will be a fantastic moussaka tomorrow. | 0:17:22 | 0:17:26 | |
-It's always better the next day. -Yes. | 0:17:26 | 0:17:28 | |
I must say, it looks fantastic. | 0:17:32 | 0:17:36 | |
It looks like it was born like that, something you've done every day. | 0:17:36 | 0:17:39 | |
The Pigotts have made spicy meatballs stuffed with blue cheese, | 0:17:39 | 0:17:42 | |
topped with crispy sweet potato skins and a raw courgette salad. | 0:17:42 | 0:17:47 | |
The sweetness and that freshness with the chilli, nice and spicy. | 0:17:54 | 0:17:58 | |
It really works very, very well at every level, | 0:17:58 | 0:18:01 | |
especially with those fried vegetables on the top like that, | 0:18:01 | 0:18:05 | |
they really make a difference. | 0:18:05 | 0:18:06 | |
But I wish they were tasting a little bit more like meatballs - | 0:18:06 | 0:18:12 | |
instead they have the consistency of a burger at the moment. | 0:18:12 | 0:18:16 | |
Instinctively cooked, but very, very well done. | 0:18:16 | 0:18:19 | |
I think that sauce is absolutely delicious. | 0:18:19 | 0:18:22 | |
Really getting that right consistency has paid off. | 0:18:22 | 0:18:26 | |
Congratulations with that - you've done well, you've done very well indeed. | 0:18:26 | 0:18:29 | |
If you come home and in one hour, you can produce this for any girls | 0:18:29 | 0:18:33 | |
that you bring home, I'm sure you're in for a good evening. | 0:18:33 | 0:18:35 | |
Well done, chaps. That went really rather well. | 0:18:35 | 0:18:38 | |
It's not an easy task, a lasagne in one hour. | 0:18:42 | 0:18:46 | |
The Bellamores are serving lasagne with a herb salad. | 0:18:46 | 0:18:51 | |
You've got the seasoning right, | 0:18:55 | 0:18:57 | |
you can see the flavour is there, but because the pasta was not made | 0:18:57 | 0:19:01 | |
properly, you didn't knead it in the machine, | 0:19:01 | 0:19:03 | |
the texture and the finish is wrong. | 0:19:03 | 0:19:07 | |
It's a shame, because you've let your techniques go, | 0:19:07 | 0:19:09 | |
and that's quite important. | 0:19:09 | 0:19:11 | |
The overall flavour of the dish is not bad at all. | 0:19:11 | 0:19:16 | |
The meat could have done with a little bit more cooking, that's true. | 0:19:16 | 0:19:19 | |
Unfortunately, the pasta let you down. | 0:19:19 | 0:19:22 | |
You should have tried to work it a little bit more on that machine. | 0:19:22 | 0:19:26 | |
The pasta tastes like you panicked, so a bit disappointed, | 0:19:26 | 0:19:29 | |
especially because I know your standard, that's why. | 0:19:29 | 0:19:33 | |
It's always a risk with Giorgio, cooking pasta, isn't it? | 0:19:37 | 0:19:40 | |
Well, yeah, but, you know, we tried | 0:19:40 | 0:19:42 | |
-and we did our best, didn't we? -Absolutely. | 0:19:42 | 0:19:45 | |
They were right in what they said - | 0:19:45 | 0:19:49 | |
the sauce needs plenty of time to cook down and we knew that, you know, | 0:19:49 | 0:19:52 | |
we were pushing it, really, doing that in an hour. | 0:19:52 | 0:19:55 | |
Well done, lads, that was really good. I think we smashed that. | 0:19:55 | 0:19:59 | |
-Everyone did well. -We did. -Which is nice. -Yeah. | 0:19:59 | 0:20:01 | |
One down, one locked away. | 0:20:01 | 0:20:03 | |
It's time for the next challenge, | 0:20:07 | 0:20:09 | |
and once again, the families have no idea what's in store for them. | 0:20:09 | 0:20:13 | |
Lovely people, the best family meals are the ones that end with a pudding | 0:20:15 | 0:20:20 | |
and today Rosemary and Giorgio have decided what they will be. | 0:20:20 | 0:20:24 | |
Yes, this challenge is called Perfect Puddings. | 0:20:24 | 0:20:27 | |
Giorgio wants you to cook a buonissimo chocolate fondant, | 0:20:27 | 0:20:31 | |
and Rosemary wants a marvellous lemon meringue pie. | 0:20:31 | 0:20:36 | |
You have one hour and 20 minutes. | 0:20:36 | 0:20:38 | |
They've provided you with the recipes, | 0:20:38 | 0:20:41 | |
the ingredients and all the kit you will need. | 0:20:41 | 0:20:44 | |
The rest is up to you. | 0:20:44 | 0:20:46 | |
Right, let's have a look at that, then, shall we? | 0:20:46 | 0:20:49 | |
Oh, it's an Italian meringue. | 0:20:49 | 0:20:52 | |
They've got the recipe, you'd think it would be straightforward, | 0:20:52 | 0:20:55 | |
but there's so much potential to go wrong. | 0:20:55 | 0:20:56 | |
Zoe Ball, you are evil! | 0:20:56 | 0:20:59 | |
Also, we get to eat the spoils, which is my favourite bit. | 0:20:59 | 0:21:02 | |
So, Ross, if you want to start to prepare the pastry cases. | 0:21:02 | 0:21:06 | |
Hang on, do you want me to do that or what? | 0:21:06 | 0:21:09 | |
Right, so, chocolate fondant - Sam, you read that. | 0:21:09 | 0:21:11 | |
In my book, the interesting part is, how they going to divide this up? | 0:21:11 | 0:21:15 | |
Who are they going to choose to do what? | 0:21:15 | 0:21:18 | |
So, let's get everything we need. I need a big mixing bowl, Giord. | 0:21:18 | 0:21:21 | |
It's very important they choose the right person for the right job, | 0:21:21 | 0:21:25 | |
because if they don't, | 0:21:25 | 0:21:26 | |
everything will begin to unfold and it could be a disaster. | 0:21:26 | 0:21:31 | |
I'll make the pastry because I've made pastry at school. | 0:21:31 | 0:21:33 | |
-Yeah, that's reasonable. -About ten years ago. | 0:21:33 | 0:21:36 | |
You do the lemon curd and the meringue. | 0:21:36 | 0:21:39 | |
Sam, you're on the chocolate fondant. Grab us if you need anything, OK? | 0:21:39 | 0:21:42 | |
Ed starts by making the pastry for the lemon meringue pie. | 0:21:42 | 0:21:45 | |
This isn't going into small crumbs, it's already coming together. | 0:21:45 | 0:21:50 | |
So, guys - the look on your face when we said lemon meringue pie | 0:21:50 | 0:21:53 | |
and chocolate fondant was monumental. | 0:21:53 | 0:21:56 | |
I'm pleased that we've got a recipe. I think without a recipe, we'd be struggling, | 0:21:56 | 0:22:00 | |
-but we can follow a recipe, can't we? -We can certainly try to follow a recipe, can't we? -Yeah. | 0:22:00 | 0:22:03 | |
-How is your pastry? -Your guess is as good as mine. -OK, all right, OK. | 0:22:03 | 0:22:07 | |
We're using that saying too many times! | 0:22:07 | 0:22:09 | |
When it comes to desserts, | 0:22:11 | 0:22:13 | |
the Pigotts have been bold with their flavours in the past. | 0:22:13 | 0:22:17 | |
Tell me what's on the menu today. | 0:22:17 | 0:22:18 | |
A pistachio and olive oil cake. | 0:22:18 | 0:22:20 | |
-Guys, you're out of time. -Cool. | 0:22:20 | 0:22:22 | |
Oh! | 0:22:22 | 0:22:24 | |
Aah! Right at the last! | 0:22:25 | 0:22:29 | |
But their ambition didn't always pay off. | 0:22:29 | 0:22:32 | |
The consistency is not that pleasant. | 0:22:32 | 0:22:35 | |
The texture is wrong in the mouth. It's too oily. | 0:22:35 | 0:22:39 | |
Some improvement needs to be done in this cake. | 0:22:39 | 0:22:42 | |
It says heat gently, swirling until the sugar is dissolved, | 0:22:44 | 0:22:46 | |
-so I won't stir it. -Has it got water in it? -No. | 0:22:46 | 0:22:49 | |
Sam is in charge of the brittle for the chocolate fondant. | 0:22:49 | 0:22:52 | |
This is my first-ever caramel and it might not be the best caramel ever. | 0:22:52 | 0:22:57 | |
Maybe - it may be the best caramel ever. | 0:22:57 | 0:23:00 | |
It says you just put it in and heat gently and swirl | 0:23:00 | 0:23:03 | |
and it becomes caramel, but it's sort of not. | 0:23:03 | 0:23:06 | |
Just don't touch it too much, remember? | 0:23:06 | 0:23:09 | |
I really want to stir that sugar. | 0:23:09 | 0:23:11 | |
I really want to stir it. | 0:23:11 | 0:23:14 | |
Are you using this timer? Are there three timers? | 0:23:14 | 0:23:17 | |
In the Bellamores' kitchen, | 0:23:17 | 0:23:18 | |
Mark is getting on with the lemon meringue pie. | 0:23:18 | 0:23:21 | |
-It says roll into a thick disc, cover with clingfilm. -Yeah. | 0:23:21 | 0:23:26 | |
The lovely Bellamores really need to get some points back here, don't they, because of their pasta? | 0:23:26 | 0:23:30 | |
But Jo, do you think she's got this one in hand? | 0:23:30 | 0:23:35 | |
Oh, my goodness. | 0:23:35 | 0:23:36 | |
I have no idea what I'm doing. | 0:23:36 | 0:23:39 | |
Mark, is that looking all right? | 0:23:39 | 0:23:41 | |
There's a blob of sugar that's not melted. | 0:23:41 | 0:23:43 | |
A little longer. | 0:23:43 | 0:23:44 | |
I don't want to stir it. Doesn't say stir. | 0:23:44 | 0:23:47 | |
-Ross? -Yes? -What's the strategy, going into challenge two? | 0:23:47 | 0:23:51 | |
We were all going to have a little chat at the start and then we're all going to get... | 0:23:51 | 0:23:55 | |
break it all down and be completely measured about the whole thing. | 0:23:55 | 0:23:57 | |
-Has it worked out that way? -No, definitely not. | 0:23:57 | 0:23:59 | |
-JO: -It's just panic. | 0:23:59 | 0:24:01 | |
-Bundle in - panic! -Yeah. | 0:24:01 | 0:24:04 | |
The Bellamores cooked a classic pudding in the previous round. | 0:24:06 | 0:24:09 | |
For dessert we've got a tarte tatin, | 0:24:09 | 0:24:10 | |
that's going to be served with a Calvados cream. | 0:24:10 | 0:24:12 | |
-Yummy. -They proved to be generous with their helpings. | 0:24:12 | 0:24:15 | |
Maybe just a touch more, Jo. | 0:24:15 | 0:24:17 | |
Fine, it's going in. | 0:24:17 | 0:24:19 | |
-You're trying to get them drunk, aren't you? -Yeah, absolutely. | 0:24:19 | 0:24:22 | |
It's so nice, though, Calvados. | 0:24:22 | 0:24:24 | |
-And it worked. -You did the cream, did you? | 0:24:24 | 0:24:27 | |
-Yeah. -Very alcoholic! | 0:24:27 | 0:24:29 | |
The texture of the apple, it's still got a little crunch, | 0:24:31 | 0:24:34 | |
but not, you know, cooked through. It's perfect. | 0:24:34 | 0:24:37 | |
Am I doing this right, now? | 0:24:39 | 0:24:41 | |
Just read that for me quick, what does it say - | 0:24:41 | 0:24:44 | |
tip over the nuts, make sure you coat evenly. | 0:24:44 | 0:24:46 | |
I'm not coating evenly. Oh, God, it's setting. Ouch. Ow! | 0:24:46 | 0:24:48 | |
-Don't touch! -Ow! | 0:24:48 | 0:24:50 | |
Thank you. | 0:24:54 | 0:24:55 | |
-You all right there, Jo? -No! | 0:24:55 | 0:24:58 | |
Caramel and mayhem are not a good combination. | 0:24:58 | 0:25:02 | |
No! I know, look at the line! | 0:25:02 | 0:25:04 | |
-Oh, my Lord! -I know, it's like a worm! | 0:25:04 | 0:25:07 | |
You'll always be able to tell the tale. | 0:25:07 | 0:25:09 | |
-I've got a lovely scar. -When I was in the barn.... -Yeah. | 0:25:09 | 0:25:11 | |
-There must be a measuring jug. -Here, here, here. | 0:25:15 | 0:25:18 | |
No, no, cupboard. Giordano, open your eyes, love. | 0:25:18 | 0:25:21 | |
With the Massaccesis, Niamh is on the brittle for the fondant. | 0:25:21 | 0:25:25 | |
-Are they about the right thickness? -That's fine, Niamh. -Spread out? -That's fine. | 0:25:25 | 0:25:29 | |
I love the fact Niamh's just got on with it, you know what I mean? | 0:25:29 | 0:25:33 | |
-Because she's loving it. -Un-flapped. -Totally un-flapped. | 0:25:33 | 0:25:37 | |
And she's only 16. Only 16! | 0:25:37 | 0:25:41 | |
I like desserts. It's what I do most in the kitchen so, yeah, | 0:25:41 | 0:25:45 | |
no, it should be OK. | 0:25:45 | 0:25:46 | |
Where puddings are concerned, Teresa likes to take control. | 0:25:46 | 0:25:49 | |
I always make my pastry first, cos it needs resting in the fridge. | 0:25:49 | 0:25:52 | |
I think that's the most important thing to get done first. | 0:25:52 | 0:25:55 | |
In the previous round, she was good at thinking on her feet. | 0:25:58 | 0:26:02 | |
This is much more crumbly than normal. | 0:26:02 | 0:26:05 | |
-It's called patchwork pie today. -It's a mosaic. -A mosaic. -Mosaic! | 0:26:05 | 0:26:08 | |
Do you think the judges will pick up on things like... | 0:26:08 | 0:26:11 | |
-They won't know unless you tell them, Nadiya. -Oh, never! | 0:26:11 | 0:26:14 | |
I'm on your side! | 0:26:14 | 0:26:16 | |
That's a really nice short, crumbly pastry. | 0:26:17 | 0:26:22 | |
It actually is really, really good. | 0:26:22 | 0:26:26 | |
Have you read the next part of the recipe? | 0:26:28 | 0:26:30 | |
-No. -Read it out loud for me so I can hear it. | 0:26:30 | 0:26:33 | |
Mix the yolks and cold water together and then measure the... | 0:26:33 | 0:26:37 | |
Sorry, what's the first step? I didn't hear the first step. | 0:26:37 | 0:26:41 | |
For the pastry, for the pastry. | 0:26:41 | 0:26:43 | |
-Yeah. -For the pastry. -I've done the pastry. The next step. | 0:26:43 | 0:26:46 | |
Giordano, I've done the pastry, move on. | 0:26:48 | 0:26:51 | |
OK, line the pastry with parchment paper. | 0:26:51 | 0:26:55 | |
-I've done the pastry, move on! -OK. | 0:26:55 | 0:26:57 | |
All three families have got their lemon meringue pastry cases in the oven. | 0:26:57 | 0:27:01 | |
The next step is the filling. | 0:27:04 | 0:27:06 | |
Shall I make a lemon curd? Would that be a good idea? | 0:27:06 | 0:27:11 | |
-Ross is going to start doing that, Jo. -Yeah? | 0:27:11 | 0:27:13 | |
Combine the cornflour and sugar in a medium saucepan and stir in the lemon juice and water. | 0:27:13 | 0:27:17 | |
-Am I heating this up? -Yeah, cook on a high heat. | 0:27:17 | 0:27:20 | |
Basically, it's a bit like making a jam, really, I think, | 0:27:20 | 0:27:23 | |
so you're just combining all the ingredients, | 0:27:23 | 0:27:25 | |
heating up a bit and letting it cool. Sounds easy. | 0:27:25 | 0:27:28 | |
You want 150ml - | 0:27:28 | 0:27:30 | |
I reckon you probably want three to four lemons. | 0:27:30 | 0:27:33 | |
Even a tiny bit more, because I like the lemony. | 0:27:33 | 0:27:35 | |
Yeah. Yeah. | 0:27:35 | 0:27:37 | |
I don't like it sweet. I like it on the slightly tarter side. | 0:27:37 | 0:27:41 | |
But he likes to stick to the rules, I don't. | 0:27:41 | 0:27:43 | |
I think a bit more lemon would be nice. | 0:27:43 | 0:27:45 | |
Families, you have 30 minutes left. | 0:27:45 | 0:27:48 | |
What can I do now? | 0:27:48 | 0:27:50 | |
Meringue, start to whisk the egg whites. | 0:27:50 | 0:27:53 | |
To get an Italian meringue right, | 0:27:53 | 0:27:55 | |
you've got to boil the sugar to 120 | 0:27:55 | 0:27:57 | |
and then pour it into the whipped-up egg white. | 0:27:57 | 0:27:59 | |
Now, this is really quite tricky if they've never done it before. | 0:27:59 | 0:28:02 | |
If they don't know what they're doing, they'll find it really scary! | 0:28:02 | 0:28:06 | |
Mark, you need to be quick with it, because I think... | 0:28:06 | 0:28:09 | |
-OK, I'm on it. -Mark, I think it's separated. | 0:28:09 | 0:28:11 | |
It's split? OK. Let's have a look. | 0:28:11 | 0:28:14 | |
Yeah, let's get three more. | 0:28:14 | 0:28:16 | |
-That's it. -I think that's nearly it. -Quick, Niamh, out the way. | 0:28:16 | 0:28:19 | |
-Shall I do a bit more? -Wait until Mum's finished. | 0:28:19 | 0:28:21 | |
My heart is absolutely pounding. | 0:28:23 | 0:28:26 | |
Really slow, really slow. Slowly, slowly. | 0:28:26 | 0:28:29 | |
It looks like an Italian meringue. | 0:28:29 | 0:28:31 | |
-That's what we're trying to make. -Yes. That's lucky! | 0:28:31 | 0:28:34 | |
-ROSEMARY: -The Pigotts seem to be so organised. | 0:28:34 | 0:28:38 | |
I don't quite get it, | 0:28:38 | 0:28:39 | |
because I thought the boys were going to actually | 0:28:39 | 0:28:42 | |
have a problem following the recipe. | 0:28:42 | 0:28:43 | |
-Yeah. -But they're going with instinct here. | 0:28:43 | 0:28:46 | |
Sam makes a start on the second pudding, the chocolate fondant. | 0:28:46 | 0:28:50 | |
I'm just creaming together sugar and eggs, which I guess, which, well, | 0:28:50 | 0:28:55 | |
you mix them with the melted sugar and butter. | 0:28:55 | 0:28:57 | |
The chocolate fondant is not a cake. | 0:28:57 | 0:28:59 | |
It is very important that the gooey inside | 0:28:59 | 0:29:03 | |
passes through this fantastic chocolaty, soft, warm flavour. | 0:29:03 | 0:29:08 | |
If I get a cake, if it's cooked all the way through, | 0:29:08 | 0:29:11 | |
I won't be very happy with that. | 0:29:11 | 0:29:13 | |
When does thick and creamy and leaving a trail start and stop? | 0:29:13 | 0:29:17 | |
That's the issue. | 0:29:17 | 0:29:19 | |
Lift it and see if it leaves a trail. | 0:29:19 | 0:29:22 | |
-No. -No, you need to keep going. | 0:29:22 | 0:29:23 | |
Not too much, go careful. | 0:29:23 | 0:29:26 | |
He feels useful, leave him alone. | 0:29:26 | 0:29:28 | |
-Carry on. -It's still loose. -Keep going. You're almost there. | 0:29:28 | 0:29:30 | |
# You're almost there... # | 0:29:30 | 0:29:32 | |
# You're almost there... # | 0:29:32 | 0:29:33 | |
# You're almost there | 0:29:33 | 0:29:34 | |
# La, la, la, la... # | 0:29:34 | 0:29:36 | |
Have you ever made fondants before? | 0:29:36 | 0:29:38 | |
I haven't ever made fondants, actually. | 0:29:38 | 0:29:41 | |
I've had some nice fondants off Jo before, | 0:29:41 | 0:29:43 | |
but this is all new to me, so... | 0:29:43 | 0:29:46 | |
How come you're being picked if Jo normally does this? | 0:29:46 | 0:29:50 | |
Hopefully, I can... This is the one task I can mess up the least. | 0:29:50 | 0:29:56 | |
Oh, you're not happy with that. | 0:29:57 | 0:29:59 | |
-Too much powder. -Yeah, just get it in the fridge | 0:30:01 | 0:30:03 | |
and we'll do that again, OK? Two seconds. | 0:30:03 | 0:30:05 | |
She's the boss. | 0:30:05 | 0:30:07 | |
Don't knock any of the air out. | 0:30:08 | 0:30:10 | |
Trying to keep as much air in there as possible | 0:30:12 | 0:30:14 | |
so it's light and fluffy. | 0:30:14 | 0:30:15 | |
I think. | 0:30:15 | 0:30:17 | |
They're just terms you hear knocking around a lot in baking, aren't they? | 0:30:18 | 0:30:21 | |
Light, fluffy, folding, figure of eight. | 0:30:21 | 0:30:24 | |
Families, you've got ten minutes left. | 0:30:24 | 0:30:26 | |
Right, Ross, these are going to be literally eight minutes. | 0:30:35 | 0:30:37 | |
Yeah, I know. I've got the timer set for eight minutes, ready to go. | 0:30:37 | 0:30:40 | |
-Or six minutes. -What? | 0:30:40 | 0:30:41 | |
What's happened to the Bellamores today? | 0:30:41 | 0:30:43 | |
-Have you read the instructions? -It says eight minutes. -Does it? | 0:30:43 | 0:30:46 | |
The Bellamores are not listening to each other | 0:30:46 | 0:30:48 | |
and I think panic has set in. | 0:30:48 | 0:30:50 | |
So, quickly close the door. | 0:30:54 | 0:30:55 | |
Right, what do we think, boys? Executive decision. | 0:30:57 | 0:30:59 | |
I think that's looking pretty bloody cooked, | 0:30:59 | 0:31:01 | |
on the edge of being too cooked, isn't it? | 0:31:01 | 0:31:03 | |
-I'd say, take that out. -Ooh! | 0:31:03 | 0:31:05 | |
The wafters. See if you think it's lemony enough. | 0:31:10 | 0:31:13 | |
-Is that all right? -Oh, it's well lemony. Mmm! | 0:31:17 | 0:31:19 | |
You like it lemony. | 0:31:19 | 0:31:21 | |
I hope she doesn't sort of say, "You didn't follow the recipe." | 0:31:21 | 0:31:24 | |
I love lemon curd. If there's any left over, can I have it in a jar? | 0:31:24 | 0:31:27 | |
-Yeah, you can scrape the bowl, love. -Thanks. | 0:31:27 | 0:31:30 | |
Do you want to lick the pan? | 0:31:30 | 0:31:32 | |
The final stage is assembling their lemon meringue pies | 0:31:32 | 0:31:35 | |
and Ed is only using half of their lemon curd. | 0:31:35 | 0:31:39 | |
-Are we ready? -Yeah. | 0:31:39 | 0:31:40 | |
-Right, let's get piping. -OK. | 0:31:40 | 0:31:43 | |
-What do you reckon, dobs? -Yeah, just little... | 0:31:46 | 0:31:49 | |
Never piped before. | 0:31:49 | 0:31:51 | |
Just make peaks, Jo. | 0:31:51 | 0:31:53 | |
That's it, that's it, that's it. | 0:31:53 | 0:31:55 | |
Look at their meringue over there, looks beautiful. | 0:31:58 | 0:32:00 | |
Really careful. Further away, further away. | 0:32:00 | 0:32:02 | |
Don't burn it. | 0:32:02 | 0:32:03 | |
Right, I think we need to turn them out, | 0:32:08 | 0:32:10 | |
they're not going to come out of here. | 0:32:10 | 0:32:12 | |
-One, there we go. -Take your time, take your time. | 0:32:13 | 0:32:16 | |
Nailed it, nailed it. | 0:32:16 | 0:32:19 | |
Time is up, guys. Time is up. | 0:32:19 | 0:32:21 | |
Move away from your meringues. | 0:32:21 | 0:32:23 | |
That was so tough! | 0:32:25 | 0:32:26 | |
You did a good job. You'd never done that before, so... | 0:32:26 | 0:32:28 | |
-Good job, good job. -I think that's pretty good. | 0:32:28 | 0:32:31 | |
Theirs looks nice. They've nailed that challenge. | 0:32:31 | 0:32:33 | |
Yeah, they've done well. | 0:32:33 | 0:32:35 | |
-NADIYA: -Rosemary and Giorgio will now judge | 0:32:42 | 0:32:44 | |
each of the puddings the families have made. | 0:32:44 | 0:32:46 | |
First, it's the Bellamores' attempt at chocolate fondant. | 0:32:51 | 0:32:54 | |
The actual shell is really perfectly cooked. | 0:32:55 | 0:32:58 | |
And nice and crispy. | 0:32:58 | 0:33:00 | |
The inside is still nice and gooey | 0:33:01 | 0:33:04 | |
but yet cooked all the way through... | 0:33:04 | 0:33:06 | |
..which allowed the flavour of the chocolate to come through perfectly. | 0:33:07 | 0:33:12 | |
So overall, it's a very good fondant. | 0:33:12 | 0:33:14 | |
-Thank you. -Let me try this... | 0:33:14 | 0:33:16 | |
..caramel now. | 0:33:18 | 0:33:19 | |
I know it cost you an arm - it was worth it! | 0:33:23 | 0:33:26 | |
I think that fondant is extremely good. | 0:33:27 | 0:33:30 | |
Thank you. | 0:33:30 | 0:33:31 | |
It's soft and gooey - that's what you need. | 0:33:31 | 0:33:34 | |
Well done, you. | 0:33:34 | 0:33:35 | |
Next up, it's the Pigotts. | 0:33:39 | 0:33:41 | |
These are little bit undercooked. | 0:33:50 | 0:33:52 | |
It's a shame. A minute more would have been absolutely perfect. | 0:33:53 | 0:33:57 | |
That's not cooked. | 0:33:57 | 0:33:59 | |
The brittle I'm really pleased with. | 0:33:59 | 0:34:01 | |
A little tip... | 0:34:01 | 0:34:02 | |
..if you put another mat on the top, rolled it with a rolling pin, | 0:34:03 | 0:34:07 | |
you're going to get a really, really thin thing. | 0:34:07 | 0:34:09 | |
And finally, the Massaccesis. | 0:34:11 | 0:34:13 | |
The fondant, very nice, | 0:34:16 | 0:34:18 | |
and the quenelle of cream as well, it's so elegant. | 0:34:18 | 0:34:21 | |
The... | 0:34:21 | 0:34:22 | |
-It's too thick. -A little bit. | 0:34:22 | 0:34:25 | |
You've got the cooking of the sugar perfect. | 0:34:25 | 0:34:28 | |
Really golden sort of amber colour. | 0:34:28 | 0:34:31 | |
Cooked all the way through. | 0:34:35 | 0:34:36 | |
And it carries an absolutely brilliant flavour. | 0:34:36 | 0:34:39 | |
-Very good job. -It's such a shame. | 0:34:39 | 0:34:41 | |
I'm being really picky here, but it's just slightly overcooked. | 0:34:41 | 0:34:46 | |
-OK. -We're talking about one minute. | 0:34:46 | 0:34:49 | |
But yet, it's delicious, absolutely delicious. | 0:34:49 | 0:34:52 | |
-Have you ever made it before? -Nope. | 0:34:52 | 0:34:54 | |
Well... Congratulations, you've done well. | 0:34:54 | 0:34:57 | |
Next, the judges will try the lemon meringue pie. | 0:34:57 | 0:35:00 | |
First are the Bellamores. | 0:35:02 | 0:35:04 | |
I'm going to be honest with you, | 0:35:04 | 0:35:06 | |
I cannot believe you got this together. | 0:35:06 | 0:35:08 | |
Watching you was agonising from my point of view. | 0:35:08 | 0:35:11 | |
First of all, it has seeped a little bit. | 0:35:15 | 0:35:18 | |
It doesn't sort of hold together when you eat it. | 0:35:18 | 0:35:20 | |
But I think your curd actually tastes incredibly good. | 0:35:20 | 0:35:24 | |
The Italian meringue could have done with a bit more work in it, | 0:35:24 | 0:35:29 | |
not thick enough for me. | 0:35:29 | 0:35:31 | |
But my major problem with this is | 0:35:31 | 0:35:33 | |
I can see this cake in about 45 minutes, | 0:35:33 | 0:35:37 | |
in one hour, falling apart. | 0:35:37 | 0:35:39 | |
OK. OK. | 0:35:39 | 0:35:40 | |
Next, the Pigotts. | 0:35:44 | 0:35:46 | |
Where is the lemon curd? | 0:35:46 | 0:35:48 | |
Um, in... In the panic, we didn't put it all on. | 0:35:48 | 0:35:51 | |
-Why not? -I'm not sure. | 0:35:53 | 0:35:56 | |
What happened? Whose decision was that? | 0:35:56 | 0:35:58 | |
That was me. That was all me. | 0:35:58 | 0:35:59 | |
Why? You nana! | 0:35:59 | 0:36:01 | |
-Why? -I know. It was a mistake. | 0:36:01 | 0:36:03 | |
You've shot yourself in the foot! | 0:36:03 | 0:36:06 | |
Shame. | 0:36:06 | 0:36:07 | |
OK. Let's see what at least it tastes like. | 0:36:08 | 0:36:11 | |
That lemon is delicious. | 0:36:15 | 0:36:17 | |
That is a really good flavour. | 0:36:17 | 0:36:19 | |
And I think the meringue is extremely good as well. | 0:36:21 | 0:36:23 | |
The pastry as well needed a little bit of rest. | 0:36:23 | 0:36:26 | |
A bit of a rest in the fridge would have done it very, very well. | 0:36:26 | 0:36:29 | |
Usually when you are doing... In the recipe, | 0:36:29 | 0:36:31 | |
everything on the recipe should go inside the cake, usually. | 0:36:31 | 0:36:34 | |
Yeah? | 0:36:34 | 0:36:36 | |
And finally, the Massaccesis. | 0:36:36 | 0:36:38 | |
I think you've done a really good job with all that piping. | 0:36:38 | 0:36:41 | |
It looks really pretty. | 0:36:41 | 0:36:42 | |
That pastry is extremely good. | 0:36:46 | 0:36:48 | |
-Thank you. -It's got a sort of good bite to it. | 0:36:48 | 0:36:51 | |
Your curd is really beautifully lemony. | 0:36:51 | 0:36:56 | |
It's not sweet, but it's the most lemony one here. | 0:36:56 | 0:36:59 | |
-So, well done. -Thank you. -The flavour is fantastic. | 0:36:59 | 0:37:03 | |
The consistency of the meringue is brilliant. | 0:37:03 | 0:37:05 | |
It's so zesty without being bitter. | 0:37:05 | 0:37:08 | |
And just the right amount of sugar. | 0:37:08 | 0:37:10 | |
-Thank you. -Thank you so much. | 0:37:10 | 0:37:13 | |
-Yes, thank you very much. -OK. | 0:37:13 | 0:37:15 | |
Our families will now face one last challenge before finding out | 0:37:30 | 0:37:34 | |
who has earned a place in the final. | 0:37:34 | 0:37:35 | |
I think as long as we stick to the plan, keep to the timings, | 0:37:37 | 0:37:41 | |
and everything goes well, then we are in with a chance. | 0:37:41 | 0:37:43 | |
Yes. | 0:37:43 | 0:37:45 | |
Thumbs up. | 0:37:45 | 0:37:46 | |
I have great belief in the Massaccesis. | 0:37:48 | 0:37:50 | |
I see them become better cooks every time. | 0:37:50 | 0:37:52 | |
They haven't really shined yet on the semifinal | 0:37:52 | 0:37:57 | |
but I have great hope for them. | 0:37:57 | 0:37:58 | |
I'm determined not to perspire today. | 0:38:00 | 0:38:03 | |
Stay calm, relaxed. | 0:38:03 | 0:38:05 | |
We'll keep you supplied with paper towels. | 0:38:05 | 0:38:07 | |
The Bellamores know they can cook and they can cook. | 0:38:09 | 0:38:12 | |
But they get so flustered. | 0:38:12 | 0:38:15 | |
If they can only pull it off and actually just relax | 0:38:15 | 0:38:18 | |
and let it happen, then they are in for a chance. | 0:38:18 | 0:38:20 | |
So, guys, last chance to impress today. | 0:38:23 | 0:38:25 | |
-How do you feel? -I'm feeling good. | 0:38:25 | 0:38:26 | |
I think we've got some really good recipes. | 0:38:26 | 0:38:28 | |
I think if we cook it well, we're in with a... | 0:38:28 | 0:38:30 | |
We each know our job, don't we? And we've each done our bit, so... | 0:38:30 | 0:38:33 | |
Yeah, if they like it, hopefully we can do well. | 0:38:33 | 0:38:35 | |
If not, then we've enjoyed it. | 0:38:35 | 0:38:38 | |
-Yes. Win-win. -Yeah, exactly. | 0:38:38 | 0:38:40 | |
It was not surprising the Pigotts managed to produce | 0:38:42 | 0:38:45 | |
such fantastic food from the "what's in the fridge?" challenge | 0:38:45 | 0:38:48 | |
but they did struggle with the perfect pudding | 0:38:48 | 0:38:51 | |
and made little mistakes, and at this point of the competition, | 0:38:51 | 0:38:55 | |
little mistakes can make a big difference. | 0:38:55 | 0:38:58 | |
Families, it's time for your third and final challenge. | 0:39:04 | 0:39:09 | |
Your last chance to impress the judges before they decide | 0:39:09 | 0:39:13 | |
which of you will be going through to the final. | 0:39:13 | 0:39:15 | |
There's no room to hide here. | 0:39:15 | 0:39:17 | |
Rosemary and Giorgio want to see your creative juices sizzling, yes? | 0:39:17 | 0:39:22 | |
It's the nation's favourite, with a twist. | 0:39:22 | 0:39:25 | |
They're keen to find out if you can reinvent the cooked breakfast. | 0:39:25 | 0:39:32 | |
You have one and a half hours - let's get cooking. | 0:39:32 | 0:39:34 | |
Porcini. | 0:39:37 | 0:39:38 | |
The breakfast is the most important meal of the day, | 0:39:39 | 0:39:42 | |
but we are asking them to cook us a breakfast with a twist. | 0:39:42 | 0:39:47 | |
So I'm really intrigued to see what they're going to come up with. | 0:39:47 | 0:39:51 | |
-I'm going to start on my potatoes now, then, guys. -Cool. | 0:39:51 | 0:39:55 | |
I am salivating. | 0:39:55 | 0:39:56 | |
I feel like I'm in a dream sequence where I'm lying in bed, | 0:39:56 | 0:39:59 | |
had a late night, | 0:39:59 | 0:40:00 | |
someone has gone downstairs and made the most amazing fry-up ever. | 0:40:00 | 0:40:03 | |
-Close your eyes. You are there. -I'm there, in my pyjamas. | 0:40:03 | 0:40:07 | |
You're not going to get any of it. | 0:40:07 | 0:40:09 | |
-What? -None of it. Not a bite. | 0:40:09 | 0:40:11 | |
Unlike the previous two challenges, | 0:40:11 | 0:40:14 | |
the families have had time to practise their dishes at home. | 0:40:14 | 0:40:17 | |
-Want me to check? -Yeah. | 0:40:17 | 0:40:19 | |
-They're a little bit hard, love. -Slightly. -Yeah, but... No. | 0:40:19 | 0:40:22 | |
-We need them cold. -It's not done. -No, you need to cook them properly. | 0:40:22 | 0:40:25 | |
That would be a disaster, if we had lumps in the potato cakes. | 0:40:25 | 0:40:27 | |
The Massaccesis are serving a cooked breakfast with an Irish twist. | 0:40:27 | 0:40:31 | |
They're making... | 0:40:31 | 0:40:32 | |
I'm doing potato cakes, | 0:40:42 | 0:40:44 | |
so caramelising the leeks at the moment. | 0:40:44 | 0:40:46 | |
I'm not overly keen on cooked breakfast, but in the mornings, | 0:40:46 | 0:40:49 | |
if I'm going to school and I make these the night before, I take one, | 0:40:49 | 0:40:51 | |
toast it and eat it on the way to the bus stop. | 0:40:51 | 0:40:54 | |
To really crown it as an Irish breakfast, the potato cake, | 0:40:54 | 0:40:58 | |
which is one of my favourite things ever. | 0:40:58 | 0:41:00 | |
The outside must be beautiful colour, | 0:41:00 | 0:41:02 | |
crispy and that lovely brown, inviting to bite into that, | 0:41:02 | 0:41:07 | |
and the inside must be fluffy and really flavoursome. | 0:41:07 | 0:41:10 | |
-Hello, Niamh. -Hello. | 0:41:10 | 0:41:11 | |
How did you come to the recipes that you've got to today? | 0:41:11 | 0:41:14 | |
Me and Mum sat down and had a bit of a meeting. | 0:41:14 | 0:41:17 | |
Then we told Dad what the plans were. | 0:41:17 | 0:41:19 | |
This is what you're doing, Dad. Deal with it. | 0:41:19 | 0:41:21 | |
What makes a cooked breakfast an Irish cooked breakfast? | 0:41:21 | 0:41:25 | |
My mum used to cook this when the visitors came and they were | 0:41:25 | 0:41:27 | |
going back home and it was supposed to keep you going all day | 0:41:27 | 0:41:30 | |
if you were travelling. She had to send them on their journey | 0:41:30 | 0:41:32 | |
-with a big cooked Irish breakfast. -Good luck, Massaccesis. | 0:41:32 | 0:41:35 | |
-Thank you very much. -Thank you, thank you. | 0:41:35 | 0:41:37 | |
Where's my weighing station gone, people? | 0:41:41 | 0:41:44 | |
Come on. Try to stay organised. | 0:41:44 | 0:41:47 | |
The Bellamores are adding a Welsh twist to their breakfast | 0:41:48 | 0:41:51 | |
by cooking... | 0:41:51 | 0:41:53 | |
Soda bread doesn't need an awful lot of working. | 0:42:01 | 0:42:04 | |
I just want to bring this together today. | 0:42:04 | 0:42:05 | |
It's not like the pasta where it does need a lot of kneading. | 0:42:05 | 0:42:08 | |
The idea is just to bring the flour into the mixture. | 0:42:08 | 0:42:10 | |
We're just going to rest it for a couple of minutes | 0:42:10 | 0:42:13 | |
before it goes into the oven. | 0:42:13 | 0:42:14 | |
What I don't understand is every time Mark has got | 0:42:14 | 0:42:18 | |
his hands on the pastry, the bread, whatever he has produced, | 0:42:18 | 0:42:21 | |
it has not been good. | 0:42:21 | 0:42:23 | |
So why, yet again, he's doing the bread? | 0:42:23 | 0:42:25 | |
-Mark, how are you doing down there, my darling? -Yeah, good. | 0:42:25 | 0:42:28 | |
You did the pastry, you did the pasta, | 0:42:28 | 0:42:31 | |
-today you have made the bread. -Yes, yes. | 0:42:31 | 0:42:34 | |
-A theme here. -I would say we definitely have got some | 0:42:34 | 0:42:36 | |
short straws around the place and I keep pulling them, unfortunately. | 0:42:36 | 0:42:39 | |
Nadiya tells me even I couldn't go wrong with soda bread. | 0:42:39 | 0:42:42 | |
I mean, she might go wrong... | 0:42:42 | 0:42:43 | |
Please don't put any additional pressure on this now. | 0:42:43 | 0:42:46 | |
She might get it wrong. | 0:42:46 | 0:42:47 | |
There's nothing anyone wants more when they're doing a hard job | 0:42:50 | 0:42:53 | |
to have Rosemary standing over them. | 0:42:53 | 0:42:55 | |
You can watch me peel potatoes - that's fine. | 0:42:55 | 0:42:57 | |
You're probably doing it wrong, Matt. | 0:42:57 | 0:42:59 | |
The Pigotts are adding a modern twist with... | 0:42:59 | 0:43:01 | |
So, the egg yolks, to confit them, you put them in individual trays, | 0:43:11 | 0:43:15 | |
oil about halfway up, and then we're going to put a few peppercorns, | 0:43:15 | 0:43:18 | |
maybe a bit of thyme in there. | 0:43:18 | 0:43:20 | |
Then they go in a really low oven and that just sets the edge, | 0:43:20 | 0:43:22 | |
but it should still be runny in the middle. | 0:43:22 | 0:43:24 | |
It's going to be a bit tense while we're doing this. | 0:43:24 | 0:43:26 | |
The Pigotts... And they've got two types... | 0:43:26 | 0:43:29 | |
The eggs, which are confit at 60 degrees for 40 minutes. | 0:43:29 | 0:43:34 | |
Two, three degrees of difference in each side can make | 0:43:34 | 0:43:38 | |
a massive difference in the end. | 0:43:38 | 0:43:40 | |
-Right, eggs on. -Guys, how are you doing? | 0:43:44 | 0:43:47 | |
-How are you feeling? -Good, we're all on track. | 0:43:47 | 0:43:50 | |
The eggs are in, the sausages need to go in in a bit, | 0:43:50 | 0:43:53 | |
and then I think that's then everything. | 0:43:53 | 0:43:54 | |
I don't think you've given yourself enough to do. | 0:43:54 | 0:43:56 | |
-No. -No, could you add another 16 things? | 0:43:56 | 0:43:59 | |
It's like a military operation. | 0:43:59 | 0:44:00 | |
It's like - done this, done that, done this, check, check, check. | 0:44:00 | 0:44:03 | |
We don't want to forget anything. We have written down quite a good... | 0:44:03 | 0:44:06 | |
These are extensive notes. | 0:44:06 | 0:44:07 | |
They're like, sort of, revision for some kind of maths A-level. | 0:44:07 | 0:44:11 | |
Much like their confit eggs, the Pigotts are going with | 0:44:15 | 0:44:18 | |
an unconventional take on their jam too. | 0:44:18 | 0:44:21 | |
At the moment, I'm just cutting up the pancetta, | 0:44:21 | 0:44:23 | |
which is going to go in the bacon jam. | 0:44:23 | 0:44:25 | |
Bacon jam, it's something that we've all tried and enjoyed. | 0:44:25 | 0:44:28 | |
It's not something I cook regularly, | 0:44:28 | 0:44:30 | |
I'm not going to pretend, but it is something I've tried | 0:44:30 | 0:44:33 | |
and enjoyed in various street food-y kind of stalls. | 0:44:33 | 0:44:37 | |
-Have you looked at your mushrooms? -Yeah. | 0:44:37 | 0:44:40 | |
With the Massaccesis, Giordano is in charge of the portobello mushrooms. | 0:44:40 | 0:44:44 | |
My mother used to do like a stuffed mushroom. | 0:44:44 | 0:44:46 | |
All the stuff that we do in Italy basically is | 0:44:46 | 0:44:49 | |
parsley, garlic and breadcrumbs. | 0:44:49 | 0:44:52 | |
It's an Italian thing with an Irish touch. | 0:44:52 | 0:44:54 | |
The Bellamores are hoping to impress the judges | 0:44:57 | 0:45:00 | |
with their meat-free sausages. | 0:45:00 | 0:45:01 | |
These are Glamorgan sausages. | 0:45:01 | 0:45:03 | |
Glamorgan is a county in South Wales. | 0:45:03 | 0:45:06 | |
During the war, when food was rationed | 0:45:06 | 0:45:08 | |
and people couldn't afford meat and sausages, | 0:45:08 | 0:45:11 | |
they created these little tasty bundles of cheese, | 0:45:11 | 0:45:15 | |
breadcrumbs, leeks. | 0:45:15 | 0:45:17 | |
To serve with the Pigotts' breakfast, | 0:45:17 | 0:45:19 | |
Sam is adding a twist to their beans. | 0:45:19 | 0:45:21 | |
Sam, smoking! | 0:45:21 | 0:45:23 | |
It's smoking, isn't it? | 0:45:23 | 0:45:25 | |
So, what have you got in there? Tell me about this little experiment. | 0:45:25 | 0:45:28 | |
So it is charcoal, hickory chips, cinnamon sticks, | 0:45:28 | 0:45:32 | |
there's a few peppercorns and a few cumin seeds. | 0:45:32 | 0:45:36 | |
You get it to light like this so it's smoking, | 0:45:36 | 0:45:39 | |
put it into the beans, cover the beans, | 0:45:39 | 0:45:41 | |
and you have essentially got a smoker. | 0:45:41 | 0:45:42 | |
And then... So all of that is in the beans. | 0:45:42 | 0:45:45 | |
How do you protect the beans from getting...? | 0:45:45 | 0:45:47 | |
Oh, I see, you keep it in the pot. | 0:45:47 | 0:45:49 | |
-You go like that. -Of course. Then you put on the lid. | 0:45:49 | 0:45:51 | |
I was like, "I don't know if I want charcoal in my beans." | 0:45:51 | 0:45:53 | |
No, they're not charcoal beans. | 0:45:53 | 0:45:54 | |
This is why I am no expert, expert cook. | 0:45:54 | 0:45:57 | |
I absolutely love the sound of the smoky beans, | 0:45:58 | 0:46:03 | |
because beans can take on those lovely smoky flavours, | 0:46:03 | 0:46:07 | |
but they must get the flavour intense | 0:46:07 | 0:46:10 | |
because it cannot be insipid. | 0:46:10 | 0:46:12 | |
The more I think about this, actually, | 0:46:12 | 0:46:14 | |
the more tricky it's going to be to find a balance. | 0:46:14 | 0:46:16 | |
30 minutes left, families. | 0:46:16 | 0:46:18 | |
-You need to get on, love. -No, I know. I'm done. | 0:46:18 | 0:46:20 | |
-Do it. -Feel it. | 0:46:20 | 0:46:22 | |
-Do it, it's fine. -It doesn't take that long. | 0:46:22 | 0:46:24 | |
-Yeah, but... -Stop stressing. | 0:46:24 | 0:46:25 | |
I've got eggs to do yet, haven't I? | 0:46:25 | 0:46:27 | |
Actually, I think this is too sticky, but oh, well. | 0:46:27 | 0:46:30 | |
-They need more flour. -Huh? | 0:46:39 | 0:46:40 | |
They kind of need more flour. Don't you think? | 0:46:40 | 0:46:43 | |
-Yeah. Can I...? -You do that... | 0:46:43 | 0:46:45 | |
It's because you were like, "Oh, quick, get them in the pan." | 0:46:45 | 0:46:48 | |
Well, that's because you took an hour to do them the other day. | 0:46:48 | 0:46:51 | |
No, I think these definitely are a bit on the loose side. | 0:46:51 | 0:46:53 | |
She did say they felt a bit sticky. | 0:46:53 | 0:46:55 | |
-I did, didn't I? -She did. | 0:46:55 | 0:46:56 | |
In the Bellamores' kitchen, Ross is in charge of the brown sauce. | 0:46:59 | 0:47:03 | |
So I'm just adding the spices. | 0:47:03 | 0:47:05 | |
We've got a quarter teaspoon of allspice, ground ginger, | 0:47:05 | 0:47:08 | |
half a teaspoon of cayenne pepper to add a little bit of heat. | 0:47:08 | 0:47:11 | |
Now I'm just going to put a little grate of nutmeg in there as well. | 0:47:11 | 0:47:14 | |
I think you've got to have lots of strong flavours in the breakfast. | 0:47:14 | 0:47:17 | |
Kick-starts your day, especially if you've had a few the night before. | 0:47:17 | 0:47:21 | |
They're making their own brown sauce. | 0:47:21 | 0:47:23 | |
This is one of my first quintessentially flavour of Britain | 0:47:23 | 0:47:27 | |
that I tasted when I was 20, when I arrived in this country. | 0:47:27 | 0:47:31 | |
And I still remember that flavour, I carry it with me. | 0:47:31 | 0:47:33 | |
They better come up with something absolutely brilliant | 0:47:33 | 0:47:36 | |
otherwise I will be really disappointed. | 0:47:36 | 0:47:38 | |
My most important role today, | 0:47:38 | 0:47:40 | |
I'm trying to provide a calming influence on the team... | 0:47:40 | 0:47:43 | |
-He's going on about it again! -..to these two. | 0:47:43 | 0:47:46 | |
For their sauce, the Pigotts have gone for a mushroom ketchup. | 0:47:46 | 0:47:50 | |
When I practised it a few days ago, | 0:47:50 | 0:47:52 | |
I put nearly a whole pack of anchovies in it, | 0:47:52 | 0:47:55 | |
so it turned into a little bit of a fish ketchup, which wasn't ideal, | 0:47:55 | 0:47:58 | |
wasn't very nice. My girlfriend said it was nice, but she was lying. | 0:47:58 | 0:48:01 | |
So this time we're just putting one in, | 0:48:01 | 0:48:03 | |
going to taste to try and then one more maybe, | 0:48:03 | 0:48:05 | |
just being really careful that it doesn't get too much. | 0:48:05 | 0:48:07 | |
You haven't put your porcinis in. | 0:48:07 | 0:48:09 | |
OK, what I'll do is I'll blend them up and put them in. | 0:48:10 | 0:48:12 | |
On the second blend? | 0:48:12 | 0:48:14 | |
Or do you think I should put them in now and blend it? | 0:48:14 | 0:48:16 | |
Yeah, with a stick blender. | 0:48:16 | 0:48:17 | |
Sorry, my bad, I completely forgot the porcinis. | 0:48:18 | 0:48:22 | |
Oh, did you? | 0:48:22 | 0:48:23 | |
I forgot to put the porcinis, the dried mushrooms in. | 0:48:24 | 0:48:27 | |
It was just a bit of an oversight, | 0:48:27 | 0:48:28 | |
they were over on the other side of the counter. | 0:48:28 | 0:48:30 | |
That's a lemon curd mistake, that one, Ed. | 0:48:30 | 0:48:32 | |
Edward works best under pressure. | 0:48:32 | 0:48:35 | |
Edward doesn't work well under pressure. | 0:48:35 | 0:48:37 | |
-Those eggs, Sam. -Yeah, they're coming out now. | 0:48:37 | 0:48:39 | |
OK, cos that's now the big thing. | 0:48:39 | 0:48:43 | |
You know, Rosemary, the eggs are the most important part | 0:48:43 | 0:48:46 | |
of the cooked breakfast, isn't it? | 0:48:46 | 0:48:49 | |
All three of them, slow-cooks, poached - | 0:48:49 | 0:48:52 | |
timing will be essential at the end of it. | 0:48:52 | 0:48:54 | |
You have do know what you're doing. | 0:48:54 | 0:48:56 | |
That's supposed to be boiling for my poached eggs. | 0:48:56 | 0:48:59 | |
And they need to go on. | 0:48:59 | 0:49:01 | |
-Ready? -Yeah. Go. | 0:49:01 | 0:49:02 | |
Let's take it off for a minute. | 0:49:05 | 0:49:06 | |
Oh, sugar, it's fallen out. | 0:49:06 | 0:49:08 | |
Sorry, Niamh. Sorry, sorry, sorry. | 0:49:10 | 0:49:12 | |
Go. Quick. Go. | 0:49:12 | 0:49:15 | |
Right, five minutes exactly from now. | 0:49:15 | 0:49:17 | |
It's gone. I'm going to do plates. | 0:49:17 | 0:49:18 | |
So do the avocado. | 0:49:18 | 0:49:20 | |
Oh, no, the water's all coming out. | 0:49:20 | 0:49:22 | |
What's happening? | 0:49:22 | 0:49:24 | |
Oh, no! | 0:49:24 | 0:49:26 | |
-Leave the lid off. -Oh, no, you can't. | 0:49:27 | 0:49:29 | |
-Oh, they're ruined. -Oh, no. | 0:49:29 | 0:49:31 | |
Quick, we've got time to do it again. Quick. | 0:49:31 | 0:49:33 | |
Oh, no, oh, no. | 0:49:33 | 0:49:35 | |
Oh, poor Teresa, she's panicking. Don't panic. | 0:49:35 | 0:49:38 | |
Quick, just wipe up this. Mind you don't burn yourself. | 0:49:38 | 0:49:41 | |
The Bellamores are also having problems with their poached eggs. | 0:49:43 | 0:49:47 | |
What's that egg doing? | 0:49:47 | 0:49:49 | |
Not happy with the look of these eggs. | 0:49:49 | 0:49:52 | |
I might do these eggs again, love. | 0:49:54 | 0:49:56 | |
I'm really unhappy with those eggs. | 0:49:56 | 0:49:57 | |
-Yeah, do them again, Jo. -Let's try again. | 0:49:57 | 0:49:59 | |
No vinegar in these. | 0:49:59 | 0:50:01 | |
Don't put vinegar. | 0:50:01 | 0:50:03 | |
How many minutes left? | 0:50:03 | 0:50:05 | |
Two minutes left, families. | 0:50:05 | 0:50:06 | |
Just two minutes. | 0:50:06 | 0:50:08 | |
Jesus Christ. | 0:50:08 | 0:50:10 | |
-I'm not going to make it. -You are. Just do it quick. | 0:50:10 | 0:50:14 | |
-Keep it calm. -Right, you do the scrambled eggs. | 0:50:14 | 0:50:16 | |
There's cream in the fridge just to end it up with. | 0:50:16 | 0:50:18 | |
Teresa, take a deep breath. | 0:50:18 | 0:50:20 | |
-It's boiling again. -Oh, Jesus Christ. | 0:50:25 | 0:50:27 | |
That's it, they're done. They're done, they're done. | 0:50:27 | 0:50:30 | |
-They're done. -One minute. | 0:50:30 | 0:50:31 | |
We've just got to dish it. Come on, let's not fuss. | 0:50:31 | 0:50:34 | |
-Sam, you're cool about that? -Yeah, yeah, yeah. | 0:50:34 | 0:50:36 | |
Beans are about to come through. | 0:50:36 | 0:50:37 | |
Right, let me get a spoon for the jam. | 0:50:37 | 0:50:39 | |
# Volare! # | 0:50:39 | 0:50:40 | |
Dad, stop. | 0:50:40 | 0:50:42 | |
Giordano, now is not the time to sing. | 0:50:42 | 0:50:43 | |
Anything we've forgotten, boys? | 0:50:45 | 0:50:47 | |
I think we've got it all on that plate. | 0:50:47 | 0:50:48 | |
They're fine. I think everything else has gone wrong, so... | 0:50:48 | 0:50:51 | |
Time up, families. Step away from the plates. | 0:50:53 | 0:50:56 | |
What a shame. | 0:50:57 | 0:50:59 | |
-I could cry. -Don't cry. | 0:51:00 | 0:51:02 | |
That was hard, wasn't it? That was so hard. | 0:51:03 | 0:51:06 | |
The Bellamores have made a Welsh cooked breakfast | 0:51:15 | 0:51:18 | |
of Glamorgan sausages, soda bread, | 0:51:18 | 0:51:20 | |
laverbread cakes and poached eggs served with a brown sauce. | 0:51:20 | 0:51:25 | |
Your Glamorgan sausages were delicious. | 0:51:28 | 0:51:32 | |
Really unusual, really good, | 0:51:32 | 0:51:34 | |
especially with the brown sauce. | 0:51:34 | 0:51:36 | |
Good as well. I was worried about the cheese, but it worked. | 0:51:36 | 0:51:38 | |
-Good. -My wife cooks a mean soda bread. | 0:51:38 | 0:51:42 | |
This is very close to that. | 0:51:42 | 0:51:44 | |
But to cook an egg like that at the end! | 0:51:46 | 0:51:48 | |
That's a sackable offence. | 0:51:49 | 0:51:51 | |
Sorry. | 0:51:51 | 0:51:53 | |
And, you know, redemption, complete redemption is on that brown sauce. | 0:51:53 | 0:51:57 | |
And I'm going to keep some of this for my bacon sandwich | 0:51:57 | 0:52:00 | |
tomorrow morning when I come into work. | 0:52:00 | 0:52:03 | |
-Well done. -Thank you very much. | 0:52:03 | 0:52:05 | |
The Massaccesis are serving an Irish cooked breakfast | 0:52:09 | 0:52:12 | |
of stuffed portobello mushrooms, potato cakes, | 0:52:12 | 0:52:15 | |
soda bread and a side of avocado, | 0:52:15 | 0:52:18 | |
smoked salmon and scrambled eggs. | 0:52:18 | 0:52:20 | |
I think the portobello mushrooms, | 0:52:25 | 0:52:27 | |
I actually really like that coarseness. | 0:52:27 | 0:52:29 | |
It gives it a sort of texture and I think that really works. | 0:52:29 | 0:52:33 | |
But the crowning thing would have been your little bit of poached egg | 0:52:33 | 0:52:38 | |
-with an hollandaise sauce. -I know. | 0:52:38 | 0:52:40 | |
Because that would have brought the whole thing together. | 0:52:40 | 0:52:43 | |
Yeah, that little of sauce with the run-around. | 0:52:43 | 0:52:46 | |
The creaminess on top of the potato cake, | 0:52:46 | 0:52:48 | |
the egg yolk dribbling onto that. | 0:52:48 | 0:52:49 | |
-That is exactly what is missing on the plate. -Yeah, yeah. | 0:52:49 | 0:52:53 | |
But for me, the crowning glory of the dish is the potato cake. | 0:52:53 | 0:52:56 | |
-They are lovely. -Thank you. | 0:52:56 | 0:52:58 | |
They're very, very light, they're very, very tasty, | 0:52:58 | 0:53:01 | |
and they're super well cooked, | 0:53:01 | 0:53:03 | |
-so you've done a very good job with that. -Thank you. | 0:53:03 | 0:53:07 | |
So... | 0:53:07 | 0:53:08 | |
I am disappointed for you | 0:53:08 | 0:53:11 | |
because you didn't manage to serve what you wanted to serve us. | 0:53:11 | 0:53:14 | |
-But sometimes it happens. -C'est la vie. -Yeah. | 0:53:16 | 0:53:19 | |
The Pigotts have put a modern twist on the cooked breakfast. | 0:53:23 | 0:53:26 | |
They're serving confit duck egg yolk, | 0:53:26 | 0:53:29 | |
bone-marrow-smoked baked beans | 0:53:29 | 0:53:31 | |
with a bacon-jam-glazed Tuscan sausage | 0:53:31 | 0:53:33 | |
and a mushroom ketchup. | 0:53:33 | 0:53:35 | |
When we started, your eggs I was more worried about. | 0:53:39 | 0:53:43 | |
But obviously, I was so wrong, because you are the only one | 0:53:44 | 0:53:47 | |
who managed to actually deliver the eggs as they were supposed to be. | 0:53:47 | 0:53:51 | |
It is perfectly cooked, very well done. | 0:53:51 | 0:53:54 | |
The mushroom ketchup... | 0:53:54 | 0:53:57 | |
..unbelievable. | 0:53:59 | 0:54:00 | |
The idea to put the dry ceps in it obviously worked absolutely perfect. | 0:54:02 | 0:54:06 | |
It actually is one of the best cooked breakfasts | 0:54:06 | 0:54:08 | |
I ever ate in my life. | 0:54:08 | 0:54:09 | |
-Thank you! -The beans, the depth, the reduction, | 0:54:10 | 0:54:14 | |
the delicate smokiness coming through, using that marrow, | 0:54:14 | 0:54:17 | |
but just enough to give it that flavour, it is brilliant. | 0:54:17 | 0:54:21 | |
I think your lovely bacon jam, which is like almost a chutney, | 0:54:21 | 0:54:26 | |
is, quite frankly, delicious. | 0:54:26 | 0:54:29 | |
I salute you! | 0:54:29 | 0:54:31 | |
-Thank you. -Thank you. | 0:54:32 | 0:54:33 | |
APPLAUSE | 0:54:33 | 0:54:35 | |
The judges must now decide which family to put through to the final. | 0:54:42 | 0:54:46 | |
Oh, Rosemary. | 0:54:49 | 0:54:51 | |
Who would have thought after two days of such high-level cooking, | 0:54:51 | 0:54:55 | |
the thing that breaks down people is poached eggs? | 0:54:55 | 0:54:58 | |
I think, actually, it's been a very interesting | 0:54:58 | 0:55:02 | |
three challenges and they all lost it on an occasion. | 0:55:02 | 0:55:07 | |
But we cannot forget as well that we've seen | 0:55:07 | 0:55:10 | |
some really excellent cooking. | 0:55:10 | 0:55:12 | |
I mean, the breakfast the boys cooked was absolutely amazing. | 0:55:12 | 0:55:18 | |
We came in to test ourselves and see what would happen. | 0:55:18 | 0:55:21 | |
To get through to the final would obviously, | 0:55:21 | 0:55:24 | |
would be absolutely brilliant, we'd absolutely love to go through. | 0:55:24 | 0:55:28 | |
With the Massaccesis, that lemon meringue pie with the strength | 0:55:28 | 0:55:32 | |
of that lemon zest took it to another level. | 0:55:32 | 0:55:34 | |
We weren't expecting to mess up today... | 0:55:34 | 0:55:37 | |
-No. -..but the competition is very tough. | 0:55:37 | 0:55:39 | |
Everyone is very good. | 0:55:39 | 0:55:41 | |
Also, the chocolate fondant of the Bellamores | 0:55:41 | 0:55:44 | |
was absolutely delicious, if you remember. | 0:55:44 | 0:55:46 | |
Absolutely perfect. | 0:55:46 | 0:55:49 | |
Everybody is out to win the competition. | 0:55:49 | 0:55:50 | |
-You can't help yourself, it's a natural thing. -Yeah. | 0:55:50 | 0:55:53 | |
But, you know, we'll have to see it goes. | 0:55:53 | 0:55:55 | |
-We've done our best, haven't we? -Yeah, we've done our best. | 0:55:55 | 0:55:58 | |
First things first, well done to each of you. | 0:56:12 | 0:56:15 | |
It has not been easy to get here, but you have done yourselves proud. | 0:56:15 | 0:56:20 | |
This is it, the moment is here. | 0:56:23 | 0:56:26 | |
Unfortunately, we have to say goodbye | 0:56:26 | 0:56:29 | |
to two of you lovely families | 0:56:29 | 0:56:31 | |
because the judges have made their decision. | 0:56:31 | 0:56:33 | |
The family going through to the final are... | 0:56:37 | 0:56:42 | |
..the Pigotts. | 0:56:47 | 0:56:48 | |
Thank you very much. | 0:56:54 | 0:56:55 | |
-Cheers. -Thanks very much. | 0:56:57 | 0:56:59 | |
-The Pigotts were fantastic. -Absolutely brilliant. | 0:56:59 | 0:57:02 | |
You know, we worked hard, but they really | 0:57:02 | 0:57:04 | |
knocked the socks off it, didn't they? | 0:57:04 | 0:57:06 | |
We tasted their food and it was absolutely incredible. | 0:57:06 | 0:57:09 | |
They have really gone over and beyond | 0:57:11 | 0:57:13 | |
and I think that's what it takes to get to the final. | 0:57:13 | 0:57:16 | |
We did our best, we couldn't have done any better, | 0:57:16 | 0:57:18 | |
so, happy. | 0:57:18 | 0:57:19 | |
I think the Pigotts completely deserve to get through to the final | 0:57:22 | 0:57:27 | |
because they pulled it off in the "what's in the fridge?" challenge, | 0:57:27 | 0:57:31 | |
but also they totally nailed it with the breakfast. | 0:57:31 | 0:57:35 | |
I'm really excited to see the Pigotts going through | 0:57:36 | 0:57:39 | |
because they really showed themselves | 0:57:39 | 0:57:41 | |
through the last three challenges as a great unity and a great team. | 0:57:41 | 0:57:46 | |
They're not scared to push the boundary. | 0:57:46 | 0:57:48 | |
-We did it. -Yeah, we barrelled our way through. | 0:57:51 | 0:57:54 | |
It's gone wrong sometimes, but, yeah, between us | 0:57:54 | 0:57:58 | |
we've scraped our way through, so, pleased. | 0:57:58 | 0:58:00 | |
-This is it. -It's the final! | 0:58:05 | 0:58:08 | |
-We're going to raise the bar. -Make it perfect. | 0:58:08 | 0:58:11 | |
Oh, my God! | 0:58:11 | 0:58:12 | |
Each of the three families deserve to be here. | 0:58:12 | 0:58:15 | |
-Just keep cracking on. -This is the most stressful part. | 0:58:15 | 0:58:17 | |
You haven't got time to be feeling sick. | 0:58:17 | 0:58:20 | |
Do not drop it. | 0:58:20 | 0:58:21 | |
This is the best I've had in my life. | 0:58:21 | 0:58:23 | |
Can't be in two places at once. | 0:58:23 | 0:58:24 | |
-Go and get the ice cream. -Guys, it's an absolute puddle. | 0:58:24 | 0:58:27 | |
Complete and utter disaster. | 0:58:27 | 0:58:29 | |
The winners of the Big Family Cooking Showdown are... | 0:58:29 | 0:58:34 |
