It's Celebrity MasterChef. | 0:00:02 | 0:00:05 | |
We've got 16 celebs, | 0:00:05 | 0:00:07 | |
all hoping to show off their cooking talent. | 0:00:07 | 0:00:10 | |
I am ready to rumble. | 0:00:10 | 0:00:14 | |
They've proved themselves in their own profession, | 0:00:15 | 0:00:18 | |
now let's see if they can cut it in the kitchen. | 0:00:18 | 0:00:21 | |
My aim was to at least be a finalist. That's where I'm trying to get to. | 0:00:21 | 0:00:25 | |
I would hate to go home today. With a passion. | 0:00:27 | 0:00:31 | |
Cooking doesn't get tougher than this. | 0:00:33 | 0:00:36 | |
'These four celebrities | 0:00:46 | 0:00:48 | |
'are competing to become MasterChef Champion.' | 0:00:48 | 0:00:52 | |
My performance so far | 0:00:52 | 0:00:54 | |
has been up and down, | 0:00:54 | 0:00:56 | |
but I'm really determined today to fight. | 0:00:56 | 0:01:00 | |
Of course I'd like to stay in longer. | 0:01:00 | 0:01:03 | |
I think it's a good kick up the backside. | 0:01:03 | 0:01:06 | |
I'll carry on cooking. | 0:01:06 | 0:01:08 | |
No more takeaways. Except for weekends, maybe. | 0:01:08 | 0:01:10 | |
I'm very much enjoying the competition. | 0:01:10 | 0:01:13 | |
It's a way of me saying, | 0:01:13 | 0:01:15 | |
"This is what I'm about when it comes to food." | 0:01:15 | 0:01:18 | |
I was brought up having to win, | 0:01:18 | 0:01:21 | |
so to go home at the first hurdle, | 0:01:21 | 0:01:24 | |
I would consider that a failure. | 0:01:24 | 0:01:27 | |
Joe's back in the fight, | 0:01:28 | 0:01:31 | |
and we are going to send our four off to a professional kitchen - | 0:01:31 | 0:01:34 | |
their first chance to understand | 0:01:34 | 0:01:36 | |
what it's like on the other side of the restaurant door. | 0:01:36 | 0:01:40 | |
'Today, the celebrities are being sent out in pairs | 0:01:50 | 0:01:53 | |
'to two London restaurants.' | 0:01:53 | 0:01:55 | |
I'm feeling a mixture of nerves and excitement. | 0:01:55 | 0:02:00 | |
When I'm outside my comfort zone, the nerves can get on top of me | 0:02:00 | 0:02:03 | |
so I'm hoping to keep the nerves at bay. | 0:02:03 | 0:02:07 | |
In the chef whites again! | 0:02:09 | 0:02:11 | |
Hopefully, we can do the whites justice today. | 0:02:11 | 0:02:16 | |
I think my biggest fear is that the standard is going to be high. | 0:02:16 | 0:02:20 | |
The fact that people are paying for the food, | 0:02:20 | 0:02:24 | |
that definitely makes it a lot more scarier. | 0:02:24 | 0:02:28 | |
This is like jumping into deep water, you know? | 0:02:31 | 0:02:35 | |
Somebody with my experience going into a top restaurant, | 0:02:35 | 0:02:37 | |
that is nerve-racking. | 0:02:37 | 0:02:40 | |
'Les and Matthew are heading to Boisdale in Canary Wharf, | 0:02:44 | 0:02:48 | |
'a restaurant renowned for its traditional Scottish cuisine. | 0:02:48 | 0:02:53 | |
'They will be working under the supervision of head chef | 0:02:54 | 0:02:58 | |
'Andy Rose.' | 0:02:58 | 0:03:00 | |
200 covers for lunch. | 0:03:00 | 0:03:02 | |
We've got absolutely loads to do so we better get started. | 0:03:02 | 0:03:06 | |
-Absolutely. -I think we better. | 0:03:06 | 0:03:09 | |
'Comedian Les is in charge of the roasted loin of wild venison, | 0:03:11 | 0:03:16 | |
'served with garlic snails, morels, mushroom puree | 0:03:16 | 0:03:20 | |
'and finished with marinated Douglas fir and a venison gravy.' | 0:03:20 | 0:03:25 | |
-We're cooking the venison in a water bath. -Right. -12 minutes. | 0:03:25 | 0:03:29 | |
Then we're finishing in the pan with all the garnish. OK? | 0:03:29 | 0:03:33 | |
-Here's your timer, or we use the clock over there. -OK. | 0:03:33 | 0:03:36 | |
-All right? -Yes. -OK. | 0:03:36 | 0:03:38 | |
-So, that's 12 minutes from now? -Exactly. | 0:03:38 | 0:03:40 | |
Or probably 11 and a half, because it's been in there for 30 seconds! | 0:03:40 | 0:03:44 | |
-Got it. -OK. The venison today is with snails and Douglas fir. | 0:03:44 | 0:03:47 | |
-Douglas fir is this. -Oh, wow. -All right? -Right. | 0:03:47 | 0:03:52 | |
-And then we have some snails. OK? -Yes. OK. | 0:03:52 | 0:03:55 | |
-We want a very hot pan. We want it really smoky. -OK. | 0:03:55 | 0:03:58 | |
The venison is cooked. OK? | 0:03:58 | 0:04:02 | |
We're going to do about 30 seconds on each side | 0:04:02 | 0:04:04 | |
so it's just starting to get up to caramelisation. It doesn't take long at all. | 0:04:04 | 0:04:07 | |
Just baste it. It's cooked, we don't need to do anything else. | 0:04:07 | 0:04:11 | |
Now our morels | 0:04:11 | 0:04:13 | |
and three of our snails. | 0:04:13 | 0:04:15 | |
We're just warming these up. | 0:04:15 | 0:04:16 | |
Don't overcook them. The snails will be all rubbery. Morels are beautiful at the moment. | 0:04:16 | 0:04:21 | |
-OK? -Yep. | 0:04:21 | 0:04:22 | |
Freshly chopped parsley. | 0:04:22 | 0:04:25 | |
Let's plate up. | 0:04:26 | 0:04:28 | |
-This is where we slow down, in a way. -Yes. | 0:04:31 | 0:04:33 | |
-We don't want to rush the plating. -No. | 0:04:33 | 0:04:36 | |
Take our venison, | 0:04:36 | 0:04:38 | |
arrange it around the spinach... | 0:04:38 | 0:04:41 | |
..and finish it with a little bit of our Douglas fir. All right? | 0:04:46 | 0:04:51 | |
That's how I expect it from the boys | 0:04:51 | 0:04:53 | |
-and that's how I expect it from you. -OK. | 0:04:53 | 0:04:56 | |
My worry would be if I got four venison at one time, making sure they're all ready, | 0:04:56 | 0:05:00 | |
-but it's just not panicking when it comes to the presentation. -Exactly that. | 0:05:00 | 0:05:05 | |
-If you go like that, it's going to be off-centre. -OK. | 0:05:05 | 0:05:08 | |
-Put it in, move it and take it off. -Shall I try another plate? -Absolutely. | 0:05:11 | 0:05:15 | |
Use your arm, OK? | 0:05:19 | 0:05:22 | |
Here we go. One more. | 0:05:22 | 0:05:25 | |
-I'm using the spoon to make that. -That's better. -All right. | 0:05:27 | 0:05:31 | |
There's a lot to get right. Hopefully, there's not a lot that can go wrong. | 0:05:31 | 0:05:35 | |
As long as I remember how long the venison's been in the bath, | 0:05:35 | 0:05:39 | |
keep watching the clock, watch the timer, and make sure my timings are right. | 0:05:39 | 0:05:43 | |
-That's all the ingredients that we separated for you. -Yep. | 0:05:43 | 0:05:47 | |
'Cricketer Matthew has been put in charge of the organic lamb cutlets, | 0:05:47 | 0:05:52 | |
'topped with wild garlic mousse, | 0:05:52 | 0:05:54 | |
'served with a potato galette and a classic Reform sauce, | 0:05:54 | 0:05:58 | |
'made with port and redcurrant jelly.' | 0:05:58 | 0:06:01 | |
You don't need too much heat here, otherwise it'll explode. | 0:06:01 | 0:06:04 | |
Take two cutlets. It's wrapped in a little bit of crepinette to hold it all together. | 0:06:04 | 0:06:09 | |
The crepinette will explode if we overheat this. All we're doing is sealing it in. | 0:06:09 | 0:06:14 | |
Little bit of salt, little bit of pepper. | 0:06:14 | 0:06:17 | |
-Can you see that's sort of all melted together lovely? -Yes. -That's all we want, OK? | 0:06:17 | 0:06:22 | |
If these start going off-colour, we've got to start again. | 0:06:22 | 0:06:25 | |
So, you know, every plate has to be... | 0:06:25 | 0:06:28 | |
-Ba-boom. -Absolutely. | 0:06:28 | 0:06:30 | |
Eight minutes exactly. | 0:06:33 | 0:06:35 | |
Have I got a stopwatch or a timer? | 0:06:35 | 0:06:37 | |
You've got to look at the clock when you put stuff in. | 0:06:37 | 0:06:39 | |
-But if I plonk it on... -Yes. | 0:06:39 | 0:06:42 | |
..and then write down "18 minutes", so when that goes to 18 I take it out, | 0:06:42 | 0:06:45 | |
then I write 26, I know when 26... | 0:06:45 | 0:06:48 | |
Whatever works with you, Matthew. | 0:06:48 | 0:06:50 | |
-I would just look at that... -Or just write it down and... -Yes. | 0:06:50 | 0:06:54 | |
-OK. Eight and three. -All right? -Yep. | 0:06:54 | 0:06:57 | |
So, eight minutes, the lamb is ready. A nice three minutes to rest. | 0:06:57 | 0:07:02 | |
It's all about timing today. | 0:07:02 | 0:07:05 | |
While the meat's resting, I can start plating up. | 0:07:05 | 0:07:07 | |
By the time I've finished plating up, the meat's rested. | 0:07:07 | 0:07:10 | |
-We'll plate once the meat's rested. -Once the plate... | 0:07:10 | 0:07:13 | |
-So, I don't plate up while the meat's resting? -No. -OK. | 0:07:13 | 0:07:17 | |
Lovely warm galette. | 0:07:18 | 0:07:21 | |
Try and keep things central. | 0:07:22 | 0:07:24 | |
That's it. OK? | 0:07:27 | 0:07:29 | |
Lovely. Looks beautiful. | 0:07:30 | 0:07:33 | |
It's reasonably straightforward, but it is all about timing, as you've seen. | 0:07:33 | 0:07:38 | |
-Good luck. -Thank you very much, Chef. | 0:07:38 | 0:07:40 | |
Job's a good 'un. | 0:07:40 | 0:07:42 | |
It's all about the timings, as he's said. | 0:07:44 | 0:07:47 | |
My wife knows that timing is not my strong suit. | 0:07:47 | 0:07:50 | |
I'm very much live-by-the-seat-of-my-pants, not being that organised, | 0:07:50 | 0:07:55 | |
hence making notes! | 0:07:55 | 0:07:56 | |
Hopefully, something will sink in and I can do the dish justice. | 0:07:56 | 0:08:02 | |
'Across town, Speech and Joe have arrived at Spice Market, | 0:08:04 | 0:08:08 | |
'a restaurant inspired by the street food of Southeast Asia, | 0:08:08 | 0:08:12 | |
'in the heart of London's Chinatown.' | 0:08:12 | 0:08:15 | |
-Good morning, Speech. -Morning. -Morning, Joe. -How are you? -Welcome to Spice Market. | 0:08:15 | 0:08:18 | |
I'm Peter Lloyd, the executive chef. | 0:08:18 | 0:08:20 | |
I've got a busy lunch service today, 60 to 80 covers, so a real challenge for you. | 0:08:20 | 0:08:25 | |
Let's crack on. Follow me. | 0:08:25 | 0:08:28 | |
'Boxer Joe's dish is grilled rib-eye steak in a soy marinade, | 0:08:30 | 0:08:34 | |
'served with garlic and sesame wilted bok choi | 0:08:34 | 0:08:38 | |
'and a coriander dressing.' | 0:08:38 | 0:08:40 | |
So, Joe, have you cooked steak before? | 0:08:40 | 0:08:42 | |
I've cooked steak, but not with these ingredients. | 0:08:42 | 0:08:45 | |
-And for 80 people at the same time?! -Of course not! | 0:08:45 | 0:08:48 | |
All different degrees - medium, rare, well-done. | 0:08:48 | 0:08:51 | |
-You're going to have a lot to think about during service. -I'll do my best. | 0:08:51 | 0:08:56 | |
We're going to be brushing it constantly with this marinade, OK? | 0:08:56 | 0:09:00 | |
Sounds good. | 0:09:00 | 0:09:02 | |
When we turn it over, it's going to give us a beautiful crossbar mark. | 0:09:02 | 0:09:05 | |
As soon as we've turned it over, I want you basting it again. | 0:09:05 | 0:09:09 | |
See there, we've got that beautiful bar mark, OK? | 0:09:09 | 0:09:12 | |
-I don't want to see tramlines. I want to see criss-cross. -Quite confusing! | 0:09:12 | 0:09:16 | |
I want you to marinade each steak twice, | 0:09:16 | 0:09:18 | |
-on both sides, OK? -OK. | 0:09:18 | 0:09:20 | |
Ah, it smells good! I'm hungry! | 0:09:20 | 0:09:24 | |
I want them to rest for at least two to three minutes, OK? | 0:09:25 | 0:09:29 | |
-It makes it much more tender for the customer. -OK. | 0:09:29 | 0:09:33 | |
It's a lot to take in. It's not just about getting the steak right, | 0:09:33 | 0:09:37 | |
it's making sure it's presented well and looking pretty. | 0:09:37 | 0:09:41 | |
If I'm cooking at home, even if something's really nice, I slap it on the plate! | 0:09:41 | 0:09:46 | |
We just want a nice little line of the bok choi. | 0:09:46 | 0:09:49 | |
I want you to cut the steak into slices, | 0:09:49 | 0:09:51 | |
put it onto the plate, like so. | 0:09:51 | 0:09:54 | |
I want a nice line going straight down the middle. | 0:09:54 | 0:09:57 | |
The main bit that you could get wrong is not cooking that steak properly. | 0:09:59 | 0:10:03 | |
You need to make sure it's cooked the way the guest wants it. | 0:10:03 | 0:10:05 | |
If they don't like it, they'll send it back. | 0:10:05 | 0:10:08 | |
-There's a lot of pressure on you. -OK. | 0:10:08 | 0:10:10 | |
'Rapper Speech will be in charge of the Nonya seafood laksa, | 0:10:11 | 0:10:15 | |
'served with scallop and gulf shrimp, | 0:10:15 | 0:10:17 | |
'finished with a coconut foam.' | 0:10:17 | 0:10:21 | |
Are you familiar with this type of cuisine? | 0:10:21 | 0:10:23 | |
I do noodle-based soup but I've never done this. | 0:10:23 | 0:10:27 | |
I don't think I've eaten this particular dish before. | 0:10:27 | 0:10:30 | |
We're starting with a complex one, then, if this is your first one. | 0:10:30 | 0:10:33 | |
-It's going to be a challenge for you today. -OK. | 0:10:33 | 0:10:36 | |
This is a hand-caught diver scallop. | 0:10:37 | 0:10:39 | |
We've got all of these to prepare. | 0:10:39 | 0:10:41 | |
You prise the shell open, | 0:10:41 | 0:10:43 | |
using the knife, you're going to scrape down | 0:10:43 | 0:10:45 | |
to reveal where the scallop is, | 0:10:45 | 0:10:49 | |
and then we can open the scallop. | 0:10:49 | 0:10:51 | |
Then just pull up and around, | 0:10:51 | 0:10:54 | |
and that is what I want ready for the laksa. | 0:10:54 | 0:10:58 | |
You've got 20 of these to prepare. | 0:10:58 | 0:11:00 | |
I'm trusting you to do this. | 0:11:00 | 0:11:03 | |
Ugh! I just felt it! | 0:11:06 | 0:11:09 | |
Whoo! | 0:11:09 | 0:11:10 | |
Again, we've left a little bit of the scallop on there, OK? | 0:11:12 | 0:11:15 | |
-You've got a little bit of work to do. -Yes. -OK. | 0:11:15 | 0:11:18 | |
Be confident when you do it. Don't hesitate. Just up and around. | 0:11:20 | 0:11:23 | |
My hands are shaking! | 0:11:23 | 0:11:25 | |
All or nothing. | 0:11:25 | 0:11:27 | |
Look at that! Well done. SHE CHUCKLES | 0:11:27 | 0:11:31 | |
We've got some halibut, | 0:11:31 | 0:11:33 | |
we've got the scallop that you prepared, and a tiger prawn. | 0:11:33 | 0:11:37 | |
Don't shake the pan to start off with because I want some caramelisation on there. | 0:11:37 | 0:11:42 | |
-While that fish is cooking, you're going to be heating up your laksa broth. -Yep. | 0:11:42 | 0:11:47 | |
The noodles go into the boiling water. | 0:11:47 | 0:11:49 | |
Then I want you to put that in the oven | 0:11:49 | 0:11:51 | |
and that's going to cook for about a minute. | 0:11:51 | 0:11:54 | |
Pour over the laksa. | 0:11:55 | 0:11:58 | |
OK. And then we're going to put in our fish, | 0:11:59 | 0:12:01 | |
our scallop, our halibut and our prawn, like so. | 0:12:01 | 0:12:05 | |
We've got some mint, some Thai basil, some coriander, | 0:12:05 | 0:12:09 | |
and then coconut foam. | 0:12:09 | 0:12:11 | |
-And then we just finish off, like so. -It looks great. | 0:12:11 | 0:12:15 | |
That's what I need you to recreate for the lunch service. | 0:12:15 | 0:12:18 | |
It's quite straightforward when we do one, | 0:12:18 | 0:12:20 | |
but when it comes to doing service and you're hearing all the commotion, | 0:12:20 | 0:12:25 | |
it's all about your co-ordination, OK? | 0:12:25 | 0:12:28 | |
I'm starting to get a little bit nervous now. | 0:12:28 | 0:12:31 | |
If I stick to those rules and get the things right, in the right order, I'll be all right. | 0:12:31 | 0:12:36 | |
-Nice! -It's beautiful, right? Nice and sweet. -Mm! | 0:12:37 | 0:12:40 | |
'It's midday. Over at Canary Wharf, | 0:12:43 | 0:12:46 | |
'for Les and Matthew it's time for service.' | 0:12:46 | 0:12:51 | |
-OK! Listen up! Two venison and three lamb. -Three lamb, Chef! | 0:12:51 | 0:12:55 | |
How long do you both need, just you two guys? | 0:12:55 | 0:12:58 | |
-Five minutes, Chef. -What about you, Matt? -Er... | 0:12:58 | 0:13:01 | |
-Five minutes, Chef. -Brilliant. Five minutes, everyone on the pass! | 0:13:01 | 0:13:05 | |
'It's crucial that Les's venison and Matthew's lamb dishes | 0:13:09 | 0:13:13 | |
'are ready at the same time.' | 0:13:13 | 0:13:16 | |
-Two minutes left! -Yes, Chef! -You gave me five. -Yes, Chef! | 0:13:16 | 0:13:20 | |
I want everything on the pass, just you two. | 0:13:20 | 0:13:24 | |
-One minute, Les. Come on. -One minute? -Yes. -Right. | 0:13:32 | 0:13:36 | |
Matthew's nearly here. You did say five. | 0:13:36 | 0:13:39 | |
Matthew's here, Les. Come. Let's go. | 0:13:41 | 0:13:43 | |
It's your first check, I've nothing here. Not good enough. | 0:13:43 | 0:13:48 | |
It's going to be another five minutes. Sorry. | 0:13:50 | 0:13:53 | |
-This is all going to be ruined. -Sorry, Chef. | 0:13:53 | 0:13:56 | |
Quick, quick, quick, quick, quick! | 0:13:56 | 0:13:58 | |
-Come on, Les, we're well behind. -Sorry. | 0:14:02 | 0:14:06 | |
-You just said five minutes to me. -I know. I'm sorry. | 0:14:06 | 0:14:08 | |
It's now ten and you're still not done. | 0:14:08 | 0:14:10 | |
Come on, let's go. Over here. | 0:14:10 | 0:14:13 | |
Keep it nice and central. | 0:14:13 | 0:14:15 | |
-Come on, Les. We've got to push it. -I'm coming. I'm coming. | 0:14:15 | 0:14:19 | |
That's too much sauce. We have to re-plate. | 0:14:25 | 0:14:28 | |
OK. | 0:14:30 | 0:14:31 | |
OK, go. Right, come on. It's really, really slow. | 0:14:31 | 0:14:36 | |
You could tell it hadn't been done by a chef, | 0:14:36 | 0:14:39 | |
however, the meat itself was cooked absolutely perfectly. | 0:14:39 | 0:14:43 | |
It's quite tough. It's just the rush of it and then trying to get the presentation. | 0:14:43 | 0:14:48 | |
Look at me, I'm sweating like a pig. | 0:14:48 | 0:14:51 | |
'Over in Chinatown, | 0:14:55 | 0:14:57 | |
'service is about to start for Speech and Joe.' | 0:14:57 | 0:15:01 | |
-OK, boys and girls, are we ready? One laksa, one rib-eye - well-done. -Yes, Chef. | 0:15:03 | 0:15:08 | |
Make sure we get these first ones right. | 0:15:08 | 0:15:10 | |
If we get it wrong now, it'll get worse later. | 0:15:10 | 0:15:13 | |
Joe is going to have a lot of steaks coming on at the same time. | 0:15:14 | 0:15:17 | |
He's got to think about all of those different cooking degrees. | 0:15:17 | 0:15:20 | |
It's key that he gets that right. | 0:15:20 | 0:15:23 | |
-This is well-done. It's going to take a good 10 to 12 minutes, OK? -OK, yes. | 0:15:23 | 0:15:27 | |
Speech has got a lot of different components going into her dish. | 0:15:31 | 0:15:36 | |
She's going to be cooking three types of fish, reheating the noodles. | 0:15:36 | 0:15:41 | |
There's a lot more going on there for her to think about. | 0:15:41 | 0:15:44 | |
Be a little bit more delicate when you take that fish out. | 0:15:47 | 0:15:50 | |
I don't want to see it break up on you. | 0:15:50 | 0:15:53 | |
Nice colour on the fish. Beautiful presentation. | 0:15:53 | 0:15:55 | |
-Keep them like that, you'll do a great job, OK? -Yes, Chef. | 0:15:55 | 0:15:58 | |
It feels good, Chef said it looked good, | 0:15:58 | 0:16:01 | |
so, er, I've just got to keep it like that. | 0:16:01 | 0:16:04 | |
It's only the start of the service, | 0:16:04 | 0:16:05 | |
but she's shown really good times in the beginning. | 0:16:05 | 0:16:08 | |
Joe, how long for your rib-eye? | 0:16:08 | 0:16:10 | |
-About two minutes. -Two minutes, yes? | 0:16:10 | 0:16:14 | |
New order! Three rib-eye - medium! Yes? Joe? | 0:16:14 | 0:16:17 | |
Yo! | 0:16:17 | 0:16:19 | |
-Did you hear me? -Sorry. Yes, Chef. | 0:16:19 | 0:16:22 | |
Get the marinade on that beef first, please. | 0:16:23 | 0:16:26 | |
I put loads on. | 0:16:26 | 0:16:29 | |
-Loads of it on there. -No, no, Joe! Not on the one that's cooked, | 0:16:30 | 0:16:32 | |
-the ones that are on the stove. -Sorry. | 0:16:32 | 0:16:36 | |
Joe, let's make sure that bok choi is a nice line. | 0:16:37 | 0:16:41 | |
The steak can go. Service, please! | 0:16:45 | 0:16:48 | |
OK, rib-eye, well done, 94. | 0:16:48 | 0:16:50 | |
I'm waiting for three rib-eye and two laksa. | 0:16:54 | 0:16:57 | |
Yes, Chef. | 0:16:57 | 0:17:00 | |
Good girl. Two at the same time, huh? | 0:17:01 | 0:17:03 | |
-Great job, Speech, really good. -Thank you, Chef. | 0:17:06 | 0:17:09 | |
I ordered the laksa. Very rich flavour. | 0:17:09 | 0:17:13 | |
I enjoyed it very much. | 0:17:13 | 0:17:15 | |
Come on, man. We've got butter melting on the pass, | 0:17:17 | 0:17:21 | |
chopping boards all a mess. | 0:17:21 | 0:17:22 | |
How are those three rib-eyes cooked? | 0:17:22 | 0:17:25 | |
-They're nearly done. -No. I'm asking you HOW are they cooked? | 0:17:25 | 0:17:29 | |
-Medium. -Two medium. | 0:17:29 | 0:17:31 | |
We need to move on these rib-eyes. They've been on a while. Customers are waiting. | 0:17:31 | 0:17:35 | |
OK, ready to go, three medium steaks. | 0:17:35 | 0:17:37 | |
Happy with those, Joe? | 0:17:37 | 0:17:39 | |
-Yes. I could - -It's not a trick question. -Yes. | 0:17:39 | 0:17:42 | |
OK, service! | 0:17:42 | 0:17:44 | |
'Back at Canary Wharf, Les has more orders than he can handle...' | 0:17:46 | 0:17:50 | |
New order. One oyster. 76 is away. | 0:17:50 | 0:17:53 | |
-Four venison! Can I have a time, please! -Yes, -Chef! Can I have a time? | 0:17:53 | 0:17:58 | |
Is this from start? | 0:17:58 | 0:18:00 | |
-No. -Er... -There's four you've got in. -Six minutes. | 0:18:00 | 0:18:04 | |
-This time, Les, six minutes, not longer. -OK. | 0:18:04 | 0:18:08 | |
'..while Matthew continues to impress.' | 0:18:09 | 0:18:12 | |
Here, Chef. | 0:18:12 | 0:18:15 | |
Matthew, the lamb is superb. Well done. | 0:18:15 | 0:18:17 | |
-Really good. -Thank you, Chef. | 0:18:17 | 0:18:19 | |
The atmosphere's gone from nice, calm, banter, friendly... | 0:18:19 | 0:18:23 | |
..to frantic. | 0:18:23 | 0:18:27 | |
-New order. One venison on order! -Yes, Chef. | 0:18:27 | 0:18:30 | |
Let's get one more in. | 0:18:30 | 0:18:33 | |
-All right, Les, we're bang in it now. I've got six coming up. -OK. -I've got two more on order. | 0:18:37 | 0:18:42 | |
'Les is now juggling eight orders of venison.' | 0:18:42 | 0:18:46 | |
-OK, Les, three minutes left, mate. Three minutes left. -OK. | 0:18:46 | 0:18:51 | |
You want to start plating soon. Come on, come on. | 0:18:52 | 0:18:56 | |
-I think I need a hand, Chef. -OK. Ben, could you come and give Les a hand, please? | 0:18:59 | 0:19:04 | |
-Right. -Can I get a plate, please? | 0:19:04 | 0:19:07 | |
-New plate. -OK. OK. Right, OK. | 0:19:07 | 0:19:09 | |
Thank you, Chef. | 0:19:09 | 0:19:12 | |
OK. | 0:19:12 | 0:19:13 | |
OK. Right. Great. Thank you. | 0:19:13 | 0:19:16 | |
-That's was a bit of a disaster. -I know. -All right. | 0:19:21 | 0:19:24 | |
That was tough. It all came at once. | 0:19:24 | 0:19:26 | |
I was thinking, "We'll get two out, | 0:19:26 | 0:19:28 | |
-"then we'll have another four 12 minutes later..." -OK, listen up! | 0:19:28 | 0:19:32 | |
Two lamb, one venison! Away when ready! New order! | 0:19:32 | 0:19:36 | |
I want, in six minutes, | 0:19:42 | 0:19:44 | |
one venison, two lamb. | 0:19:44 | 0:19:46 | |
-Right. One venison. -All right? | 0:19:46 | 0:19:48 | |
That's going to be the last one... of the service. | 0:19:48 | 0:19:54 | |
-Yes, Chef! -Yes, Chef. | 0:19:54 | 0:19:56 | |
-Three minutes! -Right. | 0:19:56 | 0:19:59 | |
There you go, Chef. | 0:20:04 | 0:20:05 | |
-Very good. Er, Matthew... -Yes, Chef? | 0:20:05 | 0:20:09 | |
-Really good service today from you. -Cheers. | 0:20:09 | 0:20:12 | |
Les, we're nearly there. You've got one plate to do. | 0:20:12 | 0:20:14 | |
OK, plate... | 0:20:14 | 0:20:17 | |
Let's make this one count, come on. | 0:20:18 | 0:20:21 | |
Much better, mate. Much better. | 0:20:21 | 0:20:23 | |
Right, let's sauce it and we can send it. Come on. | 0:20:23 | 0:20:26 | |
Much better. | 0:20:28 | 0:20:30 | |
OK, Les, again, | 0:20:30 | 0:20:33 | |
-not one plate made it today on time. -Really? -Not one plate. | 0:20:33 | 0:20:37 | |
All right, go. OK, guys, thanks very much. Service is over. | 0:20:37 | 0:20:41 | |
Thanks, Chef! | 0:20:41 | 0:20:43 | |
It's the first time in a professional kitchen | 0:20:43 | 0:20:46 | |
and we're doing big numbers here, so, yes, big wake-up call. | 0:20:46 | 0:20:51 | |
I think Les panicked today. | 0:20:51 | 0:20:53 | |
He certainly did get slammed at one point. Behind on every table. | 0:20:53 | 0:20:57 | |
But saying that, everything was cooked perfectly. | 0:20:57 | 0:21:00 | |
This is a steep learning curve, | 0:21:00 | 0:21:02 | |
and that was the steepest part of the hill that I've been on. | 0:21:02 | 0:21:06 | |
I thought Matthew did a great job. | 0:21:06 | 0:21:09 | |
He's been composed all day. He's been writing notes. | 0:21:09 | 0:21:13 | |
His timing was good. Everything was spot on. I didn't have to get involved. | 0:21:13 | 0:21:16 | |
I really enjoyed today. I think I've learned a lot of valuable lessons | 0:21:16 | 0:21:20 | |
and I'm ready for the next challenge. | 0:21:20 | 0:21:22 | |
'Back in Chinatown, the restaurant is at capacity.' | 0:21:23 | 0:21:28 | |
We're reaching the peak now of lunch. You're going to start getting a lot more orders. | 0:21:28 | 0:21:32 | |
-That was your warm-up. This is the real deal now, yes? -Yes, Chef. | 0:21:32 | 0:21:36 | |
Joe! HE STUTTERS | 0:21:36 | 0:21:38 | |
I don't know what's happening! | 0:21:38 | 0:21:40 | |
You're giving me one medium-rare. After that, you've got two mediums and one more medium-rare. | 0:21:40 | 0:21:46 | |
-That's four steaks, yes? -Yes, Chef. -JOE MUMBLES | 0:21:46 | 0:21:49 | |
He's not listening. If he doesn't listen, he's going to go down. | 0:21:49 | 0:21:53 | |
We've got to keep an eye on him. | 0:21:53 | 0:21:56 | |
OK. Steak. | 0:22:00 | 0:22:02 | |
-Joe, Joe, Joe, Joe... -Has it fallen apart? | 0:22:02 | 0:22:05 | |
It's not that. Look, it's not cooked. | 0:22:05 | 0:22:07 | |
It's too rare, my friend. | 0:22:07 | 0:22:09 | |
-We can't use that. -OK. -It's sliced. Once you make that first cut, | 0:22:09 | 0:22:12 | |
-you've got to make that call. -OK. So... | 0:22:12 | 0:22:16 | |
We've waited ten minutes for this. We now need to wait for another one. | 0:22:16 | 0:22:20 | |
-I need to get that one out first for that customer. -OK. | 0:22:20 | 0:22:23 | |
I don't think I've impressed him. I find it difficult to remember everything. | 0:22:23 | 0:22:28 | |
I think it's getting on top of me, doing all this stuff. | 0:22:28 | 0:22:31 | |
-Speech. -Yes? -You're doing a very, very good job. | 0:22:35 | 0:22:38 | |
Everything's consistent, the food's coming out nice and hot, your fish is perfectly cooked. | 0:22:38 | 0:22:43 | |
-Well done. -Thank you, Chef. | 0:22:43 | 0:22:44 | |
Chef says I'm doing well, so it's good to hear. | 0:22:44 | 0:22:47 | |
I've just got to keep it. | 0:22:47 | 0:22:49 | |
Joe, what are you giving me next? I'm not trying to be arrogant, | 0:22:49 | 0:22:52 | |
but if you don't answer me, I don't know you've heard me | 0:22:52 | 0:22:55 | |
-and then you're not doing what I want you to do. -Sorry, Chef. | 0:22:55 | 0:22:59 | |
Give me a time now on your two rib-eyes, well-done. | 0:22:59 | 0:23:02 | |
-Two minutes, Chef! -Every time I ask you for a time, you say two minutes. | 0:23:02 | 0:23:06 | |
-I need the truth. -OK, maybe four. | 0:23:06 | 0:23:09 | |
Is this next one medium-rare, or medium, or well-done? | 0:23:09 | 0:23:12 | |
-You're giving me two well-dones. -OK. | 0:23:12 | 0:23:14 | |
I'm not sure if this is well-done, actually. No, it's not. | 0:23:14 | 0:23:18 | |
Joe, that's been on 20 minutes now for those two well-dones. | 0:23:18 | 0:23:22 | |
-We should be seeing them now, yes? -Yep. | 0:23:22 | 0:23:26 | |
'As Joe struggles to cook his steaks to order, | 0:23:28 | 0:23:31 | |
'the customers are being kept waiting.' | 0:23:31 | 0:23:33 | |
Joe, you're currently running at 28 minutes for two rib-eyes. | 0:23:37 | 0:23:42 | |
-OK, two rib-eyes. Joe, we got there in the end, yes? -Yes. | 0:23:44 | 0:23:47 | |
It was a struggle. Let's go. It's been over half an hour. Send our apologies. | 0:23:47 | 0:23:52 | |
Please don't tell me no more steaks. | 0:23:52 | 0:23:54 | |
OK, last order! We've got one laksa, one rib-eye! | 0:23:54 | 0:23:57 | |
BOTH: Yes, Chef! | 0:23:57 | 0:23:59 | |
OK, Speech, I'm really impressed. | 0:24:04 | 0:24:06 | |
-You're doing a great job. -Thank you, Chef. | 0:24:06 | 0:24:09 | |
-Medium-rare to go. -Hallelujah, Joe! We did it! | 0:24:13 | 0:24:16 | |
-Thank you, Chef! -It makes such a difference when you get it right. | 0:24:16 | 0:24:20 | |
It was a bit of a roller coaster. Joe really struggled. | 0:24:21 | 0:24:24 | |
He was all over the place. He lost his co-ordination. | 0:24:24 | 0:24:27 | |
On what looks like quite a simple dish, | 0:24:27 | 0:24:29 | |
that seemed to be a lot for him to engage with. | 0:24:29 | 0:24:33 | |
Today was really tough. I was a bit flustered and confused sometimes. | 0:24:33 | 0:24:37 | |
What I've learned from today is, never work in a kitchen! | 0:24:37 | 0:24:40 | |
I think Speech has impressed me the most. | 0:24:40 | 0:24:42 | |
The fact that she kept her calm, which was the most important thing, | 0:24:42 | 0:24:46 | |
consistently, she delivered the better food. | 0:24:46 | 0:24:48 | |
I have a new-found respect for chefs. | 0:24:48 | 0:24:51 | |
It's hot in there! It's hot. | 0:24:51 | 0:24:53 | |
It's a lot of pressure, but I think you can tell that they love it, you know? | 0:24:53 | 0:24:58 | |
The food is cooked out of love. | 0:24:58 | 0:25:00 | |
'Service may be over | 0:25:02 | 0:25:04 | |
'but there's no let-up for the celebrities, | 0:25:04 | 0:25:07 | |
'who now return to MasterChef Headquarters.' | 0:25:07 | 0:25:10 | |
Cooking in the competition is so different from at home, | 0:25:12 | 0:25:17 | |
but you have to rise to that challenge. | 0:25:17 | 0:25:19 | |
The professional kitchen was an experience. | 0:25:19 | 0:25:23 | |
It's something I've never done before. | 0:25:23 | 0:25:26 | |
The thing is, I'm an ex-boxer, not a cook, | 0:25:26 | 0:25:29 | |
so I think I put too much pressure on myself. | 0:25:29 | 0:25:32 | |
I'm happy to be back in the MasterChef kitchen. | 0:25:33 | 0:25:36 | |
I feel a lot more comfortable here. | 0:25:36 | 0:25:39 | |
There's no chefs shouting. | 0:25:39 | 0:25:41 | |
This is like my second home at the moment. | 0:25:41 | 0:25:44 | |
Right here, right now, I am feeling quietly scared and nervous, | 0:25:45 | 0:25:50 | |
and also quietly confident that I've practised enough to get it right. | 0:25:50 | 0:25:54 | |
Welcome back. | 0:26:03 | 0:26:05 | |
You have had quite a few tests now, | 0:26:05 | 0:26:08 | |
quite a few lessons. | 0:26:08 | 0:26:11 | |
We want to see progress. | 0:26:11 | 0:26:14 | |
Now it's time for a team challenge. | 0:26:14 | 0:26:18 | |
Two teams - | 0:26:18 | 0:26:20 | |
Joe and Speech... | 0:26:20 | 0:26:23 | |
..Les and Matthew. | 0:26:24 | 0:26:27 | |
This is an invention test. | 0:26:29 | 0:26:31 | |
From the set of ingredients you have in front of you, | 0:26:31 | 0:26:34 | |
we would like one main course and one dessert. | 0:26:34 | 0:26:39 | |
You can sing it, rap it, bat it, punch it, | 0:26:39 | 0:26:43 | |
we don't care how you do it, just get us up some decent food. | 0:26:43 | 0:26:47 | |
We're going to give you ten minutes to think about it. | 0:26:47 | 0:26:50 | |
Make us something delicious. | 0:26:50 | 0:26:52 | |
Wow! OK... | 0:26:52 | 0:26:55 | |
-We've got streaky bacon. -We've got some quail's eggs. | 0:26:55 | 0:26:58 | |
'The ingredients include mussels, clams, | 0:26:58 | 0:27:02 | |
'razor clams, smoked haddock, | 0:27:02 | 0:27:05 | |
'long-stemmed broccoli, quail's eggs, | 0:27:05 | 0:27:08 | |
'strawberries, dark chocolate, cream cheese and ginger biscuits.' | 0:27:08 | 0:27:14 | |
-What are we doing for the main course? -What do you think? | 0:27:14 | 0:27:17 | |
-Smoked haddock... -Yes. | 0:27:17 | 0:27:19 | |
-Clams. -Clams. | 0:27:19 | 0:27:20 | |
-Cook them off, put them in a fish pie. -Yes. | 0:27:20 | 0:27:24 | |
This has got to be a seafood thing. | 0:27:24 | 0:27:26 | |
Vongole clams. | 0:27:26 | 0:27:28 | |
Clams, mussels... These are really nice. | 0:27:28 | 0:27:30 | |
It's got to be with something else. Is there rice or something? | 0:27:30 | 0:27:33 | |
You can make pastries and things like that. | 0:27:33 | 0:27:36 | |
You can do whatever you want to. | 0:27:36 | 0:27:38 | |
-Where's the pasta? -Where's the pasta? | 0:27:38 | 0:27:40 | |
Flour, eggs, you know, things...! | 0:27:40 | 0:27:43 | |
-Do you know how to make pasta? -I think so. I think I can make it. | 0:27:43 | 0:27:47 | |
What can we serve the fish with to decorate it nicely? | 0:27:47 | 0:27:50 | |
-Would you use the quail's eggs? -I've done a recipe using boiled eggs. | 0:27:50 | 0:27:54 | |
How long would you boil a quail egg for? | 0:27:54 | 0:27:56 | |
It's smaller than an egg, so a couple of minutes. | 0:27:56 | 0:28:00 | |
-What about dessert? -I haven't got a clue. | 0:28:00 | 0:28:02 | |
..the cheese, mixed with some caster sugar... | 0:28:02 | 0:28:05 | |
We can caramelise the fruits. | 0:28:05 | 0:28:08 | |
-Oh, cheesecake! I could make a cheesecake! -OK. | 0:28:08 | 0:28:11 | |
Let's do a cheesecake. | 0:28:11 | 0:28:13 | |
-Try and make it easier for your dessert. -No, cheesecake is easy. -Is it? -Yes. | 0:28:13 | 0:28:17 | |
You've had your ten minutes. You have one hour. | 0:28:17 | 0:28:22 | |
Ladies and gentlemen, let's cook. | 0:28:22 | 0:28:25 | |
-Shall I start cleaning these things first? -No, let's do the pasta first. | 0:28:27 | 0:28:32 | |
I'm not sure how much flour to how many eggs. | 0:28:32 | 0:28:35 | |
-This is what I can't remember. -Erm... -We can just have a guess. | 0:28:35 | 0:28:40 | |
When you're working in a team, you kind of feel like you have a common goal. | 0:28:40 | 0:28:44 | |
You put the flour down like that and you make a hole in the middle. | 0:28:44 | 0:28:47 | |
I'm just not doing this for me. We're doing it for us. | 0:28:47 | 0:28:52 | |
Crack an egg in the middle, then mix it all together, | 0:28:55 | 0:28:58 | |
-and do you know...? -Knead it. -Yes! | 0:28:58 | 0:29:01 | |
I've never used one of these before! | 0:29:01 | 0:29:05 | |
My grandfather was a chef for 50 years, | 0:29:09 | 0:29:12 | |
my dad's a great cook, my uncles can cook, | 0:29:12 | 0:29:14 | |
and I'm just the lazy one! | 0:29:14 | 0:29:17 | |
Aye-aye! | 0:29:17 | 0:29:19 | |
Joe! | 0:29:26 | 0:29:27 | |
-What's the plan today? -There's some clams and mussels. | 0:29:27 | 0:29:30 | |
We'll attempt to do like a pasta or linguine vongole, | 0:29:30 | 0:29:32 | |
or frutti di mare, as they say. | 0:29:32 | 0:29:35 | |
And for dessert? | 0:29:35 | 0:29:37 | |
Strawberry cheesecake. | 0:29:37 | 0:29:39 | |
Strawberry cheesecake. How are we going to make that sexy, Speech? | 0:29:39 | 0:29:42 | |
By having the strawberries on the top in a sexy pattern. | 0:29:42 | 0:29:47 | |
-So cheesecake with some strawberries. -Yes. | 0:29:47 | 0:29:50 | |
-You're not looking that happy about this today, Speech. -I'm OK. I'm cool. | 0:29:50 | 0:29:54 | |
It's the south London face. It's kind of just set that way. | 0:29:54 | 0:29:57 | |
I'm happy inside. | 0:29:57 | 0:29:59 | |
You've been round the room with some hard men. Anything as tough as this? | 0:29:59 | 0:30:03 | |
I'm outside my comfort zone a bit, I'm not going to lie, but I do love food. | 0:30:03 | 0:30:07 | |
I actually feel quite embarrassed that I don't know how to do a dish that I've eaten for years. | 0:30:07 | 0:30:12 | |
Your granddad, although he's a good cook, I've heard he's a rubbish boxer, | 0:30:12 | 0:30:16 | |
-so you're all right! -Exactly! | 0:30:16 | 0:30:18 | |
We don't need all that. We need about a handful. | 0:30:23 | 0:30:26 | |
Joe has been eating shellfish pasta all his life and he's having a go at making it! | 0:30:26 | 0:30:30 | |
It's whether he can take the memories of eating | 0:30:30 | 0:30:34 | |
and make it into a juicy dish. | 0:30:34 | 0:30:37 | |
-Speech. -Yes? -Two secs... | 0:30:40 | 0:30:42 | |
-Do you need me to hold it? -Yes, please. | 0:30:42 | 0:30:44 | |
He's got a sculpture that resembles something out of the Royal Academy, | 0:30:47 | 0:30:51 | |
but otherwise, he's got himself some decent pasta. | 0:30:51 | 0:30:54 | |
I think Speech, | 0:30:55 | 0:30:57 | |
with all her talent and all her experience, | 0:30:57 | 0:30:59 | |
is playing it a little safe! | 0:30:59 | 0:31:02 | |
I'd like to see Speech just push it a little bit further. | 0:31:02 | 0:31:07 | |
We're halfway. You've got 30 minutes left! | 0:31:08 | 0:31:11 | |
-Matthew. -Yes? -Do you need butter? Because there's only one... | 0:31:11 | 0:31:14 | |
I'll need a little bit. Big enough for a single portion of fish pie? | 0:31:14 | 0:31:19 | |
Er, yes, I would think so. | 0:31:19 | 0:31:20 | |
So we use that as your fish pie portions. | 0:31:20 | 0:31:24 | |
I like to challenge myself. I'll give 100 percent, | 0:31:24 | 0:31:26 | |
because you can't give any more than 100 percent, | 0:31:26 | 0:31:29 | |
not even if you try. | 0:31:29 | 0:31:31 | |
-How's it going, Matthew? -Not too bad. Not too bad. Yourself? | 0:31:33 | 0:31:36 | |
Yes, fine, I think. | 0:31:36 | 0:31:38 | |
The challenges are very tough. | 0:31:41 | 0:31:44 | |
I have a lot to prove, especially in the pudding area. | 0:31:44 | 0:31:49 | |
'Yesterday, in the mass catering challenge, | 0:31:50 | 0:31:53 | |
'Les messed up his bread and butter pudding | 0:31:53 | 0:31:56 | |
'and John had to step in.' | 0:31:56 | 0:31:57 | |
Can you imagine that food being served to these guys? No way! | 0:31:57 | 0:32:03 | |
What do you think we expect of you now, Les? | 0:32:06 | 0:32:08 | |
I think you expect us to improve quite a lot, basically. | 0:32:08 | 0:32:11 | |
I'm weirdly going for dessert again | 0:32:11 | 0:32:14 | |
and hoping to put my bread-and- butter-pudding disaster behind me | 0:32:14 | 0:32:18 | |
and prove that I can cook a dessert, | 0:32:18 | 0:32:20 | |
so I'm making soft fruit cheesecake | 0:32:20 | 0:32:24 | |
and a raspberry and chocolate sauce on the side. | 0:32:24 | 0:32:28 | |
Nice. Fish pie? | 0:32:28 | 0:32:30 | |
Yes. | 0:32:30 | 0:32:31 | |
How good can a fish pie be? | 0:32:31 | 0:32:33 | |
We'll see! I think it should be very tasty and very delicious, | 0:32:33 | 0:32:36 | |
but I'm sure you'll tell me when you taste it. | 0:32:36 | 0:32:40 | |
-What are you going to serve with it? -Some buttered vegetables. | 0:32:40 | 0:32:43 | |
-Not a lot of time left. -No, Chef. | 0:32:43 | 0:32:45 | |
-And a cheesecake to be set. -Yes. | 0:32:45 | 0:32:47 | |
-You know they're doing a cheesecake, as well? -Yes. | 0:32:47 | 0:32:50 | |
It is indeed a battle of the cheesecakes! | 0:32:50 | 0:32:53 | |
Les is doing a dessert. | 0:33:09 | 0:33:11 | |
They say get back on your horse if you fall off, don't they? | 0:33:11 | 0:33:14 | |
I mean, his bread and butter pudding was a disaster! | 0:33:14 | 0:33:19 | |
Let's just hope his cheesecake's a lot better. | 0:33:19 | 0:33:22 | |
Matthew's mashing away his potatoes, | 0:33:25 | 0:33:28 | |
he's made his fish sauce, cooked some mussels and some clams. | 0:33:28 | 0:33:31 | |
My big concern with the fish pie - the whole thing looks really glunky. | 0:33:35 | 0:33:38 | |
-How long do we have left? -It's your last ten minutes. | 0:33:43 | 0:33:46 | |
-Shall I get the pasta on? -Yes, yes, yes. | 0:33:46 | 0:33:50 | |
Put the pasta in there... | 0:33:57 | 0:33:58 | |
Are we good? Oh, that looks good. | 0:33:59 | 0:34:01 | |
Go on, boy! Go on, son! | 0:34:14 | 0:34:17 | |
Time's up. | 0:34:20 | 0:34:22 | |
Well done. | 0:34:25 | 0:34:27 | |
Nice! | 0:34:27 | 0:34:29 | |
-Boom! -Hey! | 0:34:29 | 0:34:32 | |
'Speech and Joe's main is a seafood linguine, | 0:34:32 | 0:34:35 | |
'made with clams, mussels and bacon lardons | 0:34:35 | 0:34:38 | |
'in a cream sauce.' | 0:34:38 | 0:34:40 | |
I like the look of it, mate, I really do. | 0:34:40 | 0:34:43 | |
You can't make a bowl of pasta look smart and elegant, it's not supposed to, | 0:34:43 | 0:34:47 | |
but that's fine. | 0:34:47 | 0:34:49 | |
Your pasta's lovely. It's got a little bit of firmness to it, | 0:34:57 | 0:35:00 | |
the cream is coating everything, | 0:35:00 | 0:35:02 | |
that sweet saltiness you get from shellfish that tastes of the sea. | 0:35:02 | 0:35:05 | |
My only complaint is, those clams are a little gritty. | 0:35:05 | 0:35:08 | |
-OK. -I'm getting a little bit of a sandy texture in my teeth. | 0:35:08 | 0:35:11 | |
But, Joe, stick with the Italian because you can do it. | 0:35:11 | 0:35:15 | |
Thank you. I'll take that. | 0:35:15 | 0:35:17 | |
Really well-made pasta. The seafood's cooked very well. | 0:35:17 | 0:35:20 | |
I like the addition of the splash of cream to coat the seafood. | 0:35:20 | 0:35:23 | |
-I think it's a really good dish. -I'm very happy. Thanks a lot. | 0:35:23 | 0:35:26 | |
This is your dish, really, isn't it? | 0:35:26 | 0:35:28 | |
Inspiration from your family, with a bit of guidance and confidence-boosting from Speech. | 0:35:28 | 0:35:33 | |
She's a much better cook than myself, | 0:35:33 | 0:35:35 | |
and I do take a bit of confidence from her, so that's great, | 0:35:35 | 0:35:38 | |
-so thank you. -That's all right, Joe. | 0:35:38 | 0:35:41 | |
'For dessert, they've made a strawberry cheesecake, | 0:35:41 | 0:35:45 | |
'served with a hazelnut praline and a strawberry coulis.' | 0:35:45 | 0:35:48 | |
He likes it. Do you know how I can tell? | 0:35:54 | 0:35:56 | |
He starts to dance on one leg and wander around. | 0:35:56 | 0:35:58 | |
He starts to do his dad dance. He does dad dancing! | 0:35:58 | 0:36:02 | |
Cowabunga! I just love a cheesecake. All the flavours are there. | 0:36:02 | 0:36:06 | |
You do have a buttery biscuit base. Also, the cream, | 0:36:06 | 0:36:09 | |
there's almost a tartness that's coming from it, | 0:36:09 | 0:36:12 | |
but the whole thing is set on fire | 0:36:12 | 0:36:14 | |
by that lovely strength of the strawberry coulis. | 0:36:14 | 0:36:17 | |
-Fabulous flavour you've got in there! -Thank you. | 0:36:17 | 0:36:20 | |
It has about as much elegance and finesse as a car-boot sale, | 0:36:20 | 0:36:23 | |
but the textures are wonderful, the flavours are really good. | 0:36:23 | 0:36:28 | |
'Matthew and Les's main course is fish pie, | 0:36:30 | 0:36:33 | |
'served with mussels and clams, | 0:36:33 | 0:36:35 | |
'buttered leeks, long-stemmed broccoli | 0:36:35 | 0:36:38 | |
'and a tomato salsa.' | 0:36:38 | 0:36:41 | |
Right, let's go! Mr Wallace, what do you reckon? | 0:36:41 | 0:36:43 | |
I'm pleased, because very few people realise how dangerous sprouting broccoli is, | 0:36:43 | 0:36:47 | |
and you've managed to keep it fenced in | 0:36:47 | 0:36:51 | |
because you don't want that running all over the plate, so well done, Matthew! | 0:36:51 | 0:36:55 | |
OK, let's get stuck in. | 0:36:55 | 0:36:58 | |
The flavours are really good - smoky haddock, the saltiness of the clams. | 0:37:02 | 0:37:05 | |
I like the richness of the sauce with that smoky bacon, | 0:37:05 | 0:37:08 | |
and I like your well-seasoned potato across the top. | 0:37:08 | 0:37:11 | |
I like your salsa with cayenne pepper, it's quite hot and spicy, | 0:37:11 | 0:37:15 | |
to add something else to your pie. | 0:37:15 | 0:37:16 | |
The flavours are brilliant, the textures are a bit mushy. | 0:37:16 | 0:37:21 | |
Whoa! I really like it. | 0:37:22 | 0:37:23 | |
The texture's absolutely fine with me. | 0:37:23 | 0:37:26 | |
I love the flavours. I really like the saltiness of the seafood | 0:37:26 | 0:37:29 | |
and the smoky flavour with the haddock, as well. | 0:37:29 | 0:37:32 | |
Job well done. I'd scoff that, Matthew. | 0:37:32 | 0:37:34 | |
Thank you. | 0:37:34 | 0:37:35 | |
'To follow, they've made a strawberry cheesecake, | 0:37:36 | 0:37:40 | |
'served with a raspberry compote, hazelnut dust | 0:37:40 | 0:37:43 | |
'and a chocolate and hazelnut sauce.' | 0:37:43 | 0:37:46 | |
Les, well done, mate. I'm so pleased for you. It's the best thing you've cooked. | 0:37:53 | 0:37:57 | |
Your cheesecake is fabulous. Strawberry flavour, with the almost sour cream. | 0:37:57 | 0:38:02 | |
Your little compote, keeping some of the raspberries whole, is lovely. That's delightful. | 0:38:02 | 0:38:06 | |
-I'm a happy boy, Les. -Thank you. | 0:38:06 | 0:38:09 | |
I love the little stewed raspberries. I like your chocolate sauce. | 0:38:09 | 0:38:13 | |
I think your cheesecake's made really, really well. Not a fault to be found, Les! | 0:38:13 | 0:38:18 | |
-Brilliant! -Thank you very much! | 0:38:18 | 0:38:20 | |
Well done, you two! | 0:38:20 | 0:38:22 | |
-Good job. -Thank you. -Cheers. | 0:38:22 | 0:38:25 | |
Thanks very much indeed. Well done, all of you. | 0:38:26 | 0:38:30 | |
Now you take a break. When you come back | 0:38:30 | 0:38:32 | |
you'll be cooking your own food. | 0:38:32 | 0:38:36 | |
Off you go. | 0:38:36 | 0:38:38 | |
MATTHEW: Well done, boys and girls! | 0:38:44 | 0:38:48 | |
We've learnt summet! | 0:38:48 | 0:38:50 | |
I am really pleased because we had four good dishes. | 0:38:52 | 0:38:56 | |
I'm particularly pleased for Joe, | 0:38:56 | 0:38:59 | |
who presented a stunningly good pasta dish. | 0:38:59 | 0:39:02 | |
Italian is the way for Joe to go. | 0:39:02 | 0:39:04 | |
Whatever we do in life, it's always nice to get good comments. | 0:39:04 | 0:39:07 | |
I'm used to comments in fighting, | 0:39:07 | 0:39:10 | |
but I've never had that many good comments when it comes to my cooking. | 0:39:10 | 0:39:13 | |
Speech's cheesecake was very tasty, but it really wasn't that elegant. | 0:39:13 | 0:39:17 | |
But, John, it's her own food next | 0:39:17 | 0:39:19 | |
and we know what a class act she can be. | 0:39:19 | 0:39:22 | |
I think my confidence has been knocked | 0:39:22 | 0:39:24 | |
because I got used to Gregg and John saying nice things. | 0:39:24 | 0:39:27 | |
I guess it's a reality check. There's still work to do and it's still a competition. | 0:39:27 | 0:39:32 | |
As for Les's cheesecake, I'm really surprised and very pleased indeed. | 0:39:32 | 0:39:37 | |
Well done, Les, for getting a dessert out, and a good dessert! | 0:39:37 | 0:39:40 | |
That's good news, because he's now up for it. | 0:39:40 | 0:39:42 | |
To have Gregg - who loves his puddings - | 0:39:42 | 0:39:45 | |
love my pudding was just fantastic! | 0:39:45 | 0:39:47 | |
And John, as well. He said it was well-presented | 0:39:47 | 0:39:49 | |
and I think he said faultless! | 0:39:49 | 0:39:52 | |
I can't wish for better than that. That's fantastic. | 0:39:52 | 0:39:55 | |
Matthew's a Yorkshire cricketer. I don't want to stereotype anyone, | 0:39:55 | 0:39:58 | |
but he gave us a good hearty dish and I really enjoyed his fish pie. | 0:39:58 | 0:40:02 | |
I think that challenge went very well. | 0:40:02 | 0:40:04 | |
We all got very positive comments, | 0:40:04 | 0:40:06 | |
so it's even-stevens going into the final hurdle. | 0:40:06 | 0:40:11 | |
'Over the last two days, | 0:40:13 | 0:40:16 | |
'these celebrities have faced some extreme challenges. | 0:40:16 | 0:40:19 | |
'Now only one test stands between them | 0:40:19 | 0:40:22 | |
'and a place in the quarterfinal.' | 0:40:22 | 0:40:25 | |
The next round is their own dishes, | 0:40:25 | 0:40:28 | |
so anything could happen, John. Anything. | 0:40:28 | 0:40:31 | |
I need to show that I know what I'm doing | 0:40:32 | 0:40:35 | |
and I can present it and that it is perfectly cooked. | 0:40:35 | 0:40:39 | |
No challenge at all, is there?! | 0:40:39 | 0:40:42 | |
When I need to show to John and Gregg next challenge | 0:40:42 | 0:40:44 | |
is just, erm, I can cook. | 0:40:44 | 0:40:47 | |
I need to produce a plate of food that looks good, | 0:40:48 | 0:40:52 | |
doesn't look like a car crash, | 0:40:52 | 0:40:54 | |
and tastes banging. | 0:40:54 | 0:40:57 | |
Knowing that somebody's going home, you don't have a clue who it is. | 0:40:58 | 0:41:03 | |
You don't want the stigma to be kicked off now, | 0:41:03 | 0:41:05 | |
and I really do want to progress. | 0:41:05 | 0:41:08 | |
This is the first time we get to see the cook you really are, | 0:41:16 | 0:41:21 | |
the food that you love, the food you practised, | 0:41:21 | 0:41:25 | |
so we've got high expectations. | 0:41:25 | 0:41:28 | |
One dish, one hour... | 0:41:28 | 0:41:30 | |
At the end of this, one of you is going home. | 0:41:30 | 0:41:32 | |
Ladies and gentlemen, let's cook. | 0:41:32 | 0:41:35 | |
Today, I'm cooking a family recipe. | 0:41:44 | 0:41:48 | |
I've cooked it a few times over the last few weeks. | 0:41:48 | 0:41:51 | |
My children have been pretty happy with it. They've eaten it. They haven't spat it out! | 0:41:51 | 0:41:57 | |
Hopefully, I'll bring it together, you know? | 0:41:57 | 0:42:01 | |
Joe, tell us what you're going to cook for us. | 0:42:05 | 0:42:08 | |
It's a sort of chicken cacciatore-style, | 0:42:08 | 0:42:10 | |
with tomatoes, a bit of red wine and red peppers. | 0:42:10 | 0:42:14 | |
-Hopefully, it'll be all right! -You like to use the word "hopefully". | 0:42:14 | 0:42:18 | |
What's this about "hopefully"? | 0:42:18 | 0:42:20 | |
I don't know. I'm not talking about hopefully. It's going to be good. | 0:42:20 | 0:42:24 | |
What is it that you particularly like about this dish? | 0:42:24 | 0:42:27 | |
-I just like the taste of it! -That'll do! | 0:42:27 | 0:42:30 | |
What do your kids think about you being on MasterChef, mate? | 0:42:30 | 0:42:34 | |
My one boy said, "Dad, I'm a better cook than you are" and he's only 18! | 0:42:34 | 0:42:38 | |
-So your son, who's 18, reckons he's a better cook than you? -Yes. | 0:42:38 | 0:42:41 | |
-You've got to prove a point to him. -Of course I've got to prove a point! | 0:42:41 | 0:42:45 | |
-And deliver a knockout blow? -Hopefully! | 0:42:45 | 0:42:49 | |
Joe's got about 400 chicken legs covered in three tons of sauce, | 0:42:52 | 0:42:57 | |
including peppers and capers and onions and tomatoes and allsorts of wonderful things! | 0:42:57 | 0:43:02 | |
It smells wonderful. | 0:43:02 | 0:43:04 | |
How's he going to make it look beautiful? | 0:43:04 | 0:43:08 | |
He's a brave man, our Les. | 0:43:15 | 0:43:18 | |
Les, another dessert! | 0:43:19 | 0:43:21 | |
Another dessert. And quite an ambitious one, as well. | 0:43:21 | 0:43:24 | |
-What are you doing? -A fondant, | 0:43:24 | 0:43:26 | |
with a cherry compote | 0:43:26 | 0:43:29 | |
and cream, caster sugar and Greek yoghurt. | 0:43:29 | 0:43:32 | |
I have done it before. I've just got to not let the nerves bubble over | 0:43:32 | 0:43:37 | |
on top of the excitement. | 0:43:37 | 0:43:38 | |
How much do you now want to stay in this competition? | 0:43:38 | 0:43:41 | |
After that cheesecake round, I want to stay in. | 0:43:41 | 0:43:45 | |
-And we look forward to a fondant. -Yes. | 0:43:45 | 0:43:47 | |
-A fondant fancy. -Absolutely! | 0:43:47 | 0:43:49 | |
-A Family Fortunes fondant fancy. There you go. -Wow. | 0:43:49 | 0:43:53 | |
What has happened to Les? | 0:43:56 | 0:43:58 | |
He's got one good cheesecake and the whole competition's come alive for him! | 0:43:58 | 0:44:02 | |
But what he's attempting here is really complicated - | 0:44:02 | 0:44:05 | |
a chocolate fondant that's got to be perfect, otherwise it's going to be a puddle. | 0:44:05 | 0:44:09 | |
I'm nervous for him. | 0:44:10 | 0:44:13 | |
I made three last night for my wife, my mother-in-law and myself | 0:44:13 | 0:44:18 | |
while we sat and watched a movie. | 0:44:18 | 0:44:20 | |
I was watching like an expectant father as they were in the oven, | 0:44:20 | 0:44:25 | |
waiting for this baby to be born. | 0:44:25 | 0:44:28 | |
If they're right, you jump up in the air and you feel really elated about it, | 0:44:28 | 0:44:33 | |
but if there's no sign of gooey chocolate in the middle, | 0:44:33 | 0:44:38 | |
I'm finished! | 0:44:38 | 0:44:40 | |
Hear the word! The word is halfway! | 0:44:42 | 0:44:46 | |
I'm excited about cooking my own food. | 0:44:50 | 0:44:53 | |
If it's cooked from the heart, it should taste good. | 0:44:53 | 0:44:57 | |
I'd like John and Gregg to eat this and be like, | 0:44:58 | 0:45:01 | |
"Speech, you're a dope chef, | 0:45:01 | 0:45:03 | |
"and that's what I'm going to call you from now on - dope chef." | 0:45:03 | 0:45:08 | |
You've got an incredible array of different flavours here, Speech. What is your dish? | 0:45:13 | 0:45:18 | |
It is tamarind and molasses fillet of beef, | 0:45:18 | 0:45:22 | |
with buttered spinach, and potato and celeriac mash. | 0:45:22 | 0:45:25 | |
This is a clash of cultures. Where has the inspiration from this come from? | 0:45:25 | 0:45:30 | |
I've got British culture, I've grown up with Jamaican culture, | 0:45:30 | 0:45:33 | |
and also from south London, a lot of other cultures, as well. | 0:45:33 | 0:45:37 | |
-Sure. -You obviously love to cook. What is this competition starting to mean to you? | 0:45:37 | 0:45:40 | |
I think this competition is like... I feel like I'm supposed to be here. | 0:45:40 | 0:45:45 | |
Do you think you've got a talent that you didn't know about? | 0:45:45 | 0:45:48 | |
I think it's a talent. | 0:45:48 | 0:45:50 | |
I kinda knew about it. | 0:45:50 | 0:45:53 | |
Cor! Speech is right out there with some of the flavours she's playing with here! | 0:45:57 | 0:46:02 | |
She's got beef, she's got tamarind, | 0:46:02 | 0:46:05 | |
she's got chilli, she's got jam on the side! | 0:46:05 | 0:46:08 | |
I've never had beef and jam, John, so it's a culinary mystery tour. | 0:46:08 | 0:46:13 | |
She wants elegance, she wants sophistication, | 0:46:13 | 0:46:16 | |
but she wants it to stay true to the flavours of the Caribbean. | 0:46:16 | 0:46:18 | |
Brilliant! | 0:46:18 | 0:46:21 | |
You've got 20 minutes left! | 0:46:22 | 0:46:25 | |
You might see that I laugh and joke and everything else, | 0:46:27 | 0:46:30 | |
but crunch time and when it's time to perform, | 0:46:30 | 0:46:34 | |
I get on and do it. | 0:46:34 | 0:46:36 | |
I am quite serious. I want to win. | 0:46:36 | 0:46:41 | |
Matthew, as you go further and further in this competition, the more intense you become. | 0:46:42 | 0:46:46 | |
I'm a serious character when I have to be. | 0:46:46 | 0:46:49 | |
-I need to be now, so I'm intense. -I quite like the attitude. -Thank you. | 0:46:49 | 0:46:53 | |
What are you cooking today? | 0:46:53 | 0:46:55 | |
A pork fillet, crusted with herbs, poached, | 0:46:55 | 0:46:58 | |
with a black pudding mash, baby vegetables | 0:46:58 | 0:47:01 | |
and a beetroot and apple balsamic reduction. | 0:47:01 | 0:47:06 | |
You really are going for it! | 0:47:06 | 0:47:08 | |
It's a bit of a challenge. Hopefully, I can to put it out within the hour. | 0:47:08 | 0:47:11 | |
How much do you now want to stay in this competition? | 0:47:11 | 0:47:14 | |
I'd love to stay. I want to learn, progress and I want to eat good food. | 0:47:14 | 0:47:18 | |
I really want to be able to cook it, as well. | 0:47:18 | 0:47:21 | |
-What do you want to demonstrate now? -I want to demonstrate how rude I can be | 0:47:21 | 0:47:25 | |
and tell you to go away so I can concentrate on my cooking, if I'm being honest! | 0:47:25 | 0:47:30 | |
Righto, big man! That's one of the best answers I ever had! | 0:47:30 | 0:47:34 | |
-Thanks, Matthew. Good luck. -Cheers. -We're off! | 0:47:34 | 0:47:37 | |
Matthew is really pushing himself. He is cooking herbed pork... | 0:47:40 | 0:47:44 | |
..he is making black pudding mash | 0:47:46 | 0:47:48 | |
and beetroot with balsamic vinegar. | 0:47:48 | 0:47:51 | |
John, that is a lot of work in one hour | 0:47:51 | 0:47:54 | |
and lots of processes. | 0:47:54 | 0:47:55 | |
This guy is really going for it. I have just begun to realise how ambitious Matthew really is | 0:47:55 | 0:48:01 | |
and how competitive. | 0:48:01 | 0:48:04 | |
I just hope he hasn't bitten off more than he can chew. | 0:48:07 | 0:48:10 | |
You have just five minutes! | 0:48:10 | 0:48:14 | |
Time's up! | 0:48:34 | 0:48:36 | |
'Joe has made chicken cacciatore, | 0:48:52 | 0:48:55 | |
'with smoked bacon, capers and olives, | 0:48:55 | 0:48:58 | |
'served with parsley-buttered potatoes.' | 0:48:58 | 0:49:02 | |
Joe, your food delivers like you do in the ring - with a massive punch! | 0:49:06 | 0:49:11 | |
Very sweet with tomatoes, sharp with the capers and salty with the olives. | 0:49:11 | 0:49:16 | |
I like the richness of your potatoes. I think it's a lovely-tasting dish. | 0:49:16 | 0:49:19 | |
It's not very pretty but it tastes really good. | 0:49:19 | 0:49:23 | |
That is typical of so many Italian dishes - | 0:49:26 | 0:49:29 | |
lovely flavours of sweetness, smokiness, chilli heat, garlic, | 0:49:29 | 0:49:34 | |
the potatoes are soft, the chicken's soft, the vegetables are all falling apart. | 0:49:34 | 0:49:37 | |
The issue is the simplicity of it. | 0:49:37 | 0:49:40 | |
Thank you. Thanks, guys. | 0:49:40 | 0:49:42 | |
John said it packed a punch. | 0:49:42 | 0:49:44 | |
Pun intended, it was a compliment for me. | 0:49:44 | 0:49:49 | |
I just hope I stay in! | 0:49:49 | 0:49:52 | |
'Les has made a chocolate fondant, topped with a quenelle of cream with Greek yoghurt, | 0:49:56 | 0:50:01 | |
'and a cherry and kirsch compote.' | 0:50:01 | 0:50:05 | |
Mate, you've done it. You've got a firm outside and a runny middle. | 0:50:10 | 0:50:13 | |
Loads have failed where you've succeeded. | 0:50:13 | 0:50:16 | |
Putting the yoghurt in the cream to make it sour was a stroke of genius | 0:50:19 | 0:50:24 | |
because it offsets that sweetness of the cocoa and the chocolate. | 0:50:24 | 0:50:28 | |
You have made a very successful fondant. | 0:50:28 | 0:50:32 | |
You've got really lovely sweet-but-sour cream, | 0:50:35 | 0:50:38 | |
you've got soft cherries, | 0:50:38 | 0:50:40 | |
a very bitter-but-sweet chocolate fondant with an oozy centre. | 0:50:40 | 0:50:43 | |
I like it a lot, but I'd like it to be a bit more grown up. | 0:50:43 | 0:50:46 | |
A bit more booze in those cherries would make it a bit more exciting. | 0:50:46 | 0:50:50 | |
But it's a very, very good pudding. | 0:50:50 | 0:50:53 | |
-Thanks, Les. -Thank you. | 0:50:53 | 0:50:55 | |
-He's done all right with his puds towards the end. -He has. | 0:50:57 | 0:51:00 | |
John and Gregg have nicknamed me Les "Two Puds" Dennis, so I'm quite happy with that! | 0:51:01 | 0:51:06 | |
'Speech's dish is a fillet of beef, | 0:51:09 | 0:51:12 | |
'marinated in tamarind and molasses, | 0:51:12 | 0:51:15 | |
'served on a bed of lime and butter spinach, | 0:51:15 | 0:51:17 | |
'accompanied by potato and celeriac mash, | 0:51:17 | 0:51:20 | |
'with a beef, garlic and thyme sauce.' | 0:51:20 | 0:51:24 | |
I love the colours. I like it a lot. | 0:51:25 | 0:51:28 | |
I really like that, Speech. I think you've got some really good flavours going on there. | 0:51:32 | 0:51:36 | |
I like the sweet nuttiness of the celeriac in your mashed potato, | 0:51:36 | 0:51:39 | |
I love the sweet-sourness of your sauce, | 0:51:39 | 0:51:42 | |
but I love the flavours you've got into that spinach. | 0:51:42 | 0:51:45 | |
It's buttery and it's slightly spicy. | 0:51:45 | 0:51:47 | |
-What did you put in that spinach? -Garlic, salt and lime juice. -I love that! | 0:51:47 | 0:51:52 | |
You've got some very interesting, different | 0:51:52 | 0:51:54 | |
and very good flavours in there. | 0:51:54 | 0:51:57 | |
What you deliver is something really elegant and sophisticated. | 0:51:57 | 0:52:01 | |
Your sauce is a wonder! | 0:52:01 | 0:52:03 | |
I love that wonderful all-spice flavour, with thyme and richness coming through it. | 0:52:03 | 0:52:08 | |
It's all really well-balanced, delicious and very, very moreish. | 0:52:08 | 0:52:11 | |
In fact, it's so good, if you look at the plate right now, | 0:52:11 | 0:52:15 | |
between Gregg and I there's very little left! | 0:52:15 | 0:52:18 | |
I'm feeling relieved, erm, that it's done. | 0:52:18 | 0:52:22 | |
I think my dish worked in terms of taste and inventiveness. | 0:52:22 | 0:52:26 | |
I think I did well. | 0:52:26 | 0:52:28 | |
'Matthew has made poached herb pork fillet, | 0:52:30 | 0:52:34 | |
'served on a black pudding and potato mash, | 0:52:34 | 0:52:37 | |
'with baby vegetables | 0:52:37 | 0:52:38 | |
'and an apple and beetroot balsamic reduction.' | 0:52:38 | 0:52:42 | |
Unfortunately, all the sauces ran into each other | 0:52:42 | 0:52:45 | |
as soon as you stuck it on the plate. | 0:52:45 | 0:52:47 | |
I like the way you've cooked everything, | 0:52:51 | 0:52:53 | |
I like the way you cooked the pork, the way you've made the mash, it's creamy, it's lump-free, | 0:52:53 | 0:52:58 | |
I love the freshness and the crunch on the vegetables, | 0:52:58 | 0:53:01 | |
but the combination of balsamic vinegar, tarragon and beetroot is so strong | 0:53:01 | 0:53:06 | |
it's overpowering everything. | 0:53:06 | 0:53:09 | |
Your tarragon is wonderful with the pork. | 0:53:12 | 0:53:15 | |
Your black pudding and mashed potato is lovely. | 0:53:15 | 0:53:18 | |
Your beetroot, apple and balsamic is absolutely delicious, | 0:53:18 | 0:53:21 | |
but all of them are too much. | 0:53:21 | 0:53:24 | |
Thank you. | 0:53:24 | 0:53:25 | |
-Those flavours were too big. -They were too big. But he's got a nice little touch. | 0:53:27 | 0:53:32 | |
Hopefully, I've shown them enough, that I've got ambition, I've got a lot of ideas, | 0:53:33 | 0:53:37 | |
and, hopefully, it was good enough to move forward. | 0:53:37 | 0:53:41 | |
Wow. I'm really impressed by today's work. | 0:53:43 | 0:53:45 | |
Two really good rounds. The competition's really come alive. | 0:53:45 | 0:53:48 | |
Unfortunately now, we've got a judging decision to make and one of you will be leaving us. | 0:53:48 | 0:53:53 | |
We'll get you back in as soon as we can. | 0:53:53 | 0:53:56 | |
Off you go. | 0:53:56 | 0:53:58 | |
I've really enjoyed today. Some seriously good cooking when they did their own food. | 0:54:04 | 0:54:08 | |
Some tasty food, some ambitious food, | 0:54:08 | 0:54:11 | |
some colourful food, some unusual food! | 0:54:11 | 0:54:13 | |
My favourite cook today is Speech. | 0:54:13 | 0:54:15 | |
I love the beef, love the sauce that she made with tamarind. | 0:54:15 | 0:54:19 | |
The flavour in the spinach, I thought it was delightful! | 0:54:19 | 0:54:21 | |
I'm impressed by Speech today for two reasons - | 0:54:21 | 0:54:23 | |
one, her dish was quite surprising in the way it delivered, | 0:54:23 | 0:54:27 | |
the other thing I like was her teamwork. | 0:54:27 | 0:54:29 | |
She pushed Joe and that team came out trumps. | 0:54:29 | 0:54:32 | |
I'd be gutted if I went home. I want to be in this for the long run. | 0:54:32 | 0:54:36 | |
I think the universe has told me | 0:54:36 | 0:54:38 | |
this is what I'm supposed to be doing. | 0:54:38 | 0:54:41 | |
Matthew's an ambitious cook. | 0:54:41 | 0:54:43 | |
He probably did three times as much work as any other contestant. | 0:54:43 | 0:54:46 | |
He showed skills, ambition, he showed that he likes big, bold flavours. | 0:54:46 | 0:54:50 | |
His issue was just too many flavours on a plate, | 0:54:50 | 0:54:53 | |
too many big flavours. | 0:54:53 | 0:54:55 | |
I play to win and I'm in it to win it, | 0:54:55 | 0:54:57 | |
so I'll be absolutely gutted if I go out first. | 0:54:57 | 0:55:00 | |
I was surprised by Joe. As a team member today in here, he's done really well. | 0:55:00 | 0:55:05 | |
He listened to what Speech had to say. | 0:55:05 | 0:55:07 | |
He got some confidence. His food today has been really tasty. | 0:55:07 | 0:55:11 | |
-His presentation's got a lot to be desired. -But he's got a good palate | 0:55:11 | 0:55:14 | |
and he knows what Italian food should taste like. | 0:55:14 | 0:55:17 | |
I'd like to stay in MasterChef. It's a journey. | 0:55:17 | 0:55:20 | |
I know I have a good palate. Given the opportunity, I can progress a lot. | 0:55:20 | 0:55:25 | |
Les, just all of a sudden, found his feet. | 0:55:25 | 0:55:29 | |
He made a dessert that really worked, | 0:55:29 | 0:55:32 | |
and then went for a fondant that actually proved completely successful! | 0:55:32 | 0:55:36 | |
I think Les has got a decent touch. | 0:55:36 | 0:55:38 | |
I'd love to get to cook another day, but I've had a great time and I've learnt so much. | 0:55:38 | 0:55:43 | |
I feel I haven't made "a show of meself", | 0:55:43 | 0:55:45 | |
as my mum would've said! | 0:55:45 | 0:55:47 | |
The issue we've got is, they've all cooked very well today, | 0:55:51 | 0:55:53 | |
all of them. | 0:55:53 | 0:55:55 | |
We're going to send one of those cooks home. | 0:55:55 | 0:55:59 | |
Which one? | 0:55:59 | 0:56:01 | |
When you all cook well, | 0:56:12 | 0:56:13 | |
it makes the judging extremely difficult, so well done. | 0:56:13 | 0:56:17 | |
The person leaving us... | 0:56:22 | 0:56:25 | |
..is Joe. | 0:56:30 | 0:56:32 | |
-Joe, thanks very much indeed. -Thank you. | 0:56:32 | 0:56:35 | |
-Thanks, Joe, very much. -Thank you, guys. | 0:56:37 | 0:56:41 | |
I found the competition tough. | 0:56:45 | 0:56:47 | |
I'm a bit disappointed to go out first, | 0:56:47 | 0:56:50 | |
but somebody had to go and, er, it's me. | 0:56:50 | 0:56:54 | |
Congratulations, guys, you are quarterfinalists. | 0:56:55 | 0:56:58 | |
Well done! | 0:56:58 | 0:57:00 | |
-Well done. -Well done. -Well done. | 0:57:00 | 0:57:04 | |
Keep it going. | 0:57:06 | 0:57:08 | |
Keep it up! | 0:57:08 | 0:57:10 | |
I'm absolutely thrilled. | 0:57:10 | 0:57:12 | |
I'm finally beginning to believe in myself as a decent cook. | 0:57:12 | 0:57:17 | |
I thought, "I'm a home cook" | 0:57:17 | 0:57:19 | |
but I'm proving to be better than that, which is great. | 0:57:19 | 0:57:22 | |
Knowing that I've got through gives me confidence. | 0:57:28 | 0:57:31 | |
It makes me want to cement myself... | 0:57:31 | 0:57:34 | |
..as a dope chef. | 0:57:34 | 0:57:36 | |
Chuffed to bits! Through to the next round. | 0:57:41 | 0:57:44 | |
Tomorrow's a knockout round, so no rest for the wicked. | 0:57:44 | 0:57:48 | |
It's one hurdle overcome, another obstacle in the way, | 0:57:48 | 0:57:50 | |
and, hopefully, you can perform tomorrow. | 0:57:50 | 0:57:53 | |
Hey! | 0:57:56 | 0:57:58 | |
'Tomorrow night, the battle for a place in the next round reaches its climax | 0:58:01 | 0:58:06 | |
'as the celebrities face their toughest critics yet.' | 0:58:06 | 0:58:10 | |
I'm worried. | 0:58:10 | 0:58:13 | |
Strawberries and prawns? Are you nuts? | 0:58:13 | 0:58:16 | |
It's like edible wallpaper. It's just background. | 0:58:16 | 0:58:19 | |
The whole thing is just a bit "Bleugh"! | 0:58:19 | 0:58:23 | |
-It's lovely. -It's really lovely. | 0:58:23 | 0:58:24 | |
The contestant leaving us is... | 0:58:24 | 0:58:28 | |
