show for a few weeks, but we saved the best till last. This is Saturday

:00:13.:00:23.
:00:23.:00:40.

in the studio are two very familiar faces, first the chef in charge of

:00:40.:00:43.

the nationwide empire of restaurants, the jewel in the crown

:00:43.:00:48.

being the two Michelin-starred Gidleigh Park, Michael Caines, next,

:00:48.:00:56.

a woman with many strings to her bow, a food writer, on TV, and

:00:56.:01:01.

cooking at the Ballymaloe Cookery School, Rachel Allen. Good morning.

:01:01.:01:05.

Good morning. What are you cooking? A red mullet with Thai puree,

:01:05.:01:10.

fennel, dill and lime salad with tomatoes and some chopped dill.

:01:10.:01:15.

is one of your trademark dishes? Yes, it's a bit of a signature,

:01:15.:01:25.
:01:25.:01:26.

coming out in the new book, but uses tomato ketchup which is interesting.

:01:26.:01:30.

All will be revealed. What are you going to cook? I am going to

:01:30.:01:36.

spatchcock a chicken, marinade it with herbs with fennel with mango

:01:36.:01:41.

feta and mint. Nice and simple, for the barbecue, but you're going to

:01:41.:01:46.

roast yours? Great, yeah.We have a fantastic line-up of foodie films

:01:46.:01:52.

from the BBC's archives. There is Rick Stein and Celebrity Masterchef

:01:52.:01:55.

and the brilliant Mr Raymond Blanc. Our special guest is one of the

:01:55.:01:59.

country's best loved actors. His career has spanned some 50 years and

:01:59.:02:04.

he's played some of the most recognisable characters in TV

:02:04.:02:10.

history including the unforgettable Victor Meldrew from the BBC's One

:02:10.:02:17.

Foot in the Grave. Welcome Richard Wilson. Good to have you. Pleasure.

:02:17.:02:21.

Busy, as ever. I am seeing what you're doing this year - you never

:02:21.:02:26.

stop. I am trying to take it a bit easier. A bit of both because

:02:26.:02:31.

theatre is a huge influence in your life and continues not only on stage

:02:31.:02:36.

but offstage as well. I have an associate director at Sheffield Play

:02:36.:02:41.

House. Going well?Very well. We have a new play coming up in the end

:02:41.:02:44.

of September. We're going to talk about that a little bit later, but

:02:44.:02:50.

of course, at the end of today's programme I am going to cook food

:02:50.:02:55.

heaven or hell for you. It's up to our chefs over there and some of our

:02:55.:02:59.

viewers to decide what you'll be eating. Food heaven, what would it

:02:59.:03:05.

be? I am very, very fond of a nice piece of freshly minced beef...

:03:05.:03:10.

Good. Mince. I was brought up - I was a war child, so I was brought up

:03:10.:03:17.

on mince. Sounds good to me. How about food hell? Sushi-type was a

:03:17.:03:23.

aub pee, mustard, that bitter taste, II don't... With me as well. It's

:03:23.:03:31.

either mince or mustard for Richard. I am going to combine another of

:03:31.:03:41.
:03:41.:03:44.

your favourite things, pasta. To make a ragu, beef mince ragu. Or

:03:44.:03:50.

Richard could be facing food hell, of course, mustard, and after making

:03:50.:03:56.

some whole-graned mustard I am going to make a creamy sauce to go with a

:03:56.:04:03.

loin of pork with mustard-coated green beans. I don't like them.But

:04:03.:04:07.

you have to wait until the end of the show to see the final result. If

:04:07.:04:14.

you would like to ask a question, you can call this number. A few of

:04:14.:04:19.

you will be able to put your questions to us live later. If I

:04:19.:04:26.

speak to you later on in the show, I'll ask you whether Richard should

:04:26.:04:34.

face food heaven or hell. 10.00am - are you hungry? Um, no.I am! We

:04:34.:04:37.

have with us one of the finest chefs in the country, Michael Caines. How

:04:37.:04:43.

are you? Fine, thanks. Lovely to be back. What are you doing?We have a

:04:43.:04:48.

beautiful red mullet I am going to pan roast, and we have these

:04:48.:04:57.

beautiful ingredients, the fennel seeds and shallot, and Thai puree,

:04:57.:05:02.

lemongrass, ginger, madras, curry powder, Saffer Ron. Sounds good. You

:05:02.:05:08.

want me to start chopping? Yeah. I'm do that for you. What we're going to

:05:09.:05:12.

do is start off with the sauce. We have butter here which I'll put into

:05:12.:05:18.

the pan, and we're going to add... Me to do some ginninger? That's

:05:18.:05:22.

fine. You can grate this but because we're going to blend it after it

:05:22.:05:28.

doesn't matter. We have some lovely flavours from the lemongrass.

:05:28.:05:34.

does the idea of this recipe come from? It's a bit of a mix and match.

:05:34.:05:39.

The dressing at the end... This comes from a famous French chef in

:05:39.:05:44.

France. One of my guys worked with him and brought it back, and it's

:05:44.:05:50.

just beautiful. It's lovely the way the spices go so well together.

:05:50.:05:56.

Saffron gives a lovely colour as well. Put that in. Cook out the

:05:56.:06:01.

spice as well. You have the madras curry powder there and just going to

:06:01.:06:11.
:06:11.:06:13.

cut that out before we add some lime citrus at the base base... Diced

:06:13.:06:17.

onions there I know you're going to use. We're going to pop that in

:06:17.:06:23.

here, so cooking out your spice and then adding fresh lime juice, and

:06:23.:06:28.

that's going to give some lovely base acidity, squeeze out your

:06:28.:06:33.

limes. You can do that separately, and now we're going to add the

:06:33.:06:36.

beautifully chopped onions, of course. About Gidleigh Park, because

:06:36.:06:43.

it really is sort of standing there as, you know, the two -star starred

:06:43.:06:47.

Michelin. How long have you been down there? 19 years this year, so

:06:47.:06:54.

already into my 20th year. In that time we have had two star for 15

:06:54.:06:58.

years, so... You have had some famous guests as well. Yes.You have

:06:58.:07:02.

been down there. I have indeed, excellent. Fabulous. In there I've

:07:02.:07:07.

got some fish stock. That's going to cook out for a long time. We've

:07:07.:07:11.

already got some made here. Do you want me to blend that? Yeah, blend

:07:11.:07:16.

that. Put the fish stock in there, and you cook that how long?

:07:16.:07:21.

minutes, half an hour, and we're going to blend it to a puree, then

:07:21.:07:28.

you need some muss Lynn cloth or a sieve, strain it. We have some

:07:28.:07:34.

already made. It's this lovely Thai paste you can use with other pastes

:07:34.:07:39.

as well. You blend this into a puree, then pass it through a sieve?

:07:39.:07:47.

Yes. The dressing is what people are going to find fascinating. When you

:07:47.:07:54.

burn butter, you get it brown. The secret here is to get it brown. You

:07:54.:07:58.

have the chopped shallots you did for me. I have fennel seed here. You

:07:58.:08:02.

can chop that, but I'm not going to, leave it. While you're doing that

:08:02.:08:07.

I'll season the fish, just one side, on the mullet. I'll get that ready.

:08:07.:08:12.

I am going to pan roast that with some olive oil while I'm waiting for

:08:12.:08:18.

this to brown. Always put it skin side down away from you. Hold it a

:08:18.:08:24.

few seconds. If you're using a cold pan, put it in and it won't curl.

:08:25.:08:30.

Red mullet prized all over Europe. You can get it around the UK.

:08:30.:08:34.

the south-west in particular very, very popular. We have the best

:08:34.:08:39.

fishing coast in Europe really. It really is quite exceptional - the

:08:39.:08:47.

array of seafood you get off that coast is fabulous. It has a very

:08:47.:08:51.

strong flavour. I have a little bit of chopped thyme, which is

:08:51.:08:58.

fantastic. You have done it all for me. So nice pan roasting of the

:08:58.:09:06.

mullet. You can cut the skin, but it's fine. This nice deep noisette

:09:06.:09:12.

with fish is stunning. Now we're going to add our fennel seed, toast

:09:12.:09:17.

a little, now our shallot. Where does this come from? You mentioned

:09:17.:09:22.

the favourite chefs you worked for? We used to make a sweet and sour

:09:22.:09:32.
:09:32.:09:36.

sauce with a burnousetts e. At the end you're going to add this tomato

:09:36.:09:43.

ketchup or any good tomt sauce. We cook it out and let it split, which

:09:43.:09:49.

is lovely. So you just leave it? Yeah, it's like a split sauce. Right

:09:49.:09:54.

at the end we're just going to add some wonderful lemon thyme because

:09:54.:09:58.

that is very, very different as a flavour profile to normal thyme, and

:09:59.:10:03.

you want that lovely citrus note of lemon coming through. Leave that.

:10:04.:10:08.

You mentioned 19 years at Gidleigh Park. It has been a long wait, then,

:10:08.:10:13.

for your first book. Yes.That must be quite great for you to write your

:10:13.:10:17.

first book. Very exciting. All good things are worth waiting for, at

:10:17.:10:23.

least let's hope so. Sorry? What's it going to be called? Michael

:10:23.:10:27.

Caines's At Home. Lovely. Which is great. You can have me in your

:10:27.:10:32.

kitchen, and you can be inspired by my recipes. This is lime oil. We

:10:33.:10:36.

make citrus oil by taking lime and adding it to a little bit of olive

:10:36.:10:42.

oil, warming it to 80 degrees, and then we blend it in the blender and

:10:42.:10:45.

extract all the flavour. That's just the outside? Just the peel this

:10:45.:10:51.

lovely lime, and you get this lovely citrus vinaigrette. Now we're going

:10:51.:10:56.

to take our fennel - it's in iced water, so it goes nice and crispy as

:10:56.:11:02.

well. Mix that together. If you would like to put the questions to

:11:02.:11:12.
:11:12.:11:17.

Yes, fennel salad with the dill. We have the basil oil we have done in a

:11:17.:11:21.

similar way. It's already done. It's lovely and delicious. This can cook

:11:21.:11:25.

out a little bit more. Just get a spoon so you can start to dress...

:11:25.:11:31.

This on it? Put it in the middle, give it a little bit of a swipe.

:11:31.:11:35.

That's quite loose. You can have that - then this just around the

:11:35.:11:40.

outside. This is the tomato with the seeds in, and you want the oil as

:11:40.:11:48.

well. The oil is the butter?It is. Then this lovely, delicious fennel

:11:48.:11:53.

salad. We're doing fennel twice today, but it's such a delicious

:11:53.:11:57.

thing, then finally mullet on top. Look at this wonderful green oil.

:11:58.:12:03.

Again, this is 10% herb. You can do it with any herb, tarragon,

:12:03.:12:11.

coriander, so ten divrams of basil to a hundred mil of oil, preferable

:12:11.:12:15.

olive, and then all you need to do is heat it at 80 degrees, blend it,

:12:15.:12:19.

a beautiful colour. So you're warming the herb in with the oil?

:12:19.:12:25.

Yes, basically. No more than 80 degrees because that takes a little

:12:25.:12:29.

bit of the flavour coming out of the herbs. You get the green coming into

:12:29.:12:35.

it. If you go too high, it gets brown and you won't get that

:12:35.:12:42.

beautiful colour. What is it again? Pan-roasted red mullet with Thai

:12:42.:12:44.

puree, fennel, dill and lime salad with tomatoes. How good does that

:12:44.:12:49.

look? And the reason for the fennel - ice

:12:49.:12:54.

cold water... Nice and crisp, a lovely texture, beautiful. Have a

:12:54.:13:00.

seat over here. You weren't hungry, but I think you may have some of

:13:00.:13:07.

this. Yeah, very tempting.Tell me what you think. I don't like fennel,

:13:07.:13:13.

Michael... On your list.Was it? sauce intrigues me. You say you have

:13:13.:13:23.
:13:23.:13:24.

to get the butter nice and brown? Yes, when you burnoisette and burn

:13:24.:13:28.

the butter, it breaks down the fattiness. In there you have the

:13:28.:13:38.
:13:38.:13:38.

lime that comes through as well. That's excellent. For some wine to

:13:38.:13:43.

go with this we sent Susy Atkins to Somerset. Before she makes her wine

:13:43.:13:49.

choices, she's taking a stroll along the beach. Enjoy this.

:13:49.:13:52.

The summer holiday season is upon us, and I have come to

:13:53.:13:56.

Weston-Super-Mare to be by the great British seaside. I am going to head

:13:56.:14:06.
:14:06.:14:14.

mullet has lots of lively, zingy components with it so I have to find

:14:14.:14:21.

a white that's bright enough to take them off on. It may seem sauvignon

:14:21.:14:25.

blanc is the way to go, and something like this may be a good

:14:25.:14:30.

idea, but in the end I have gone for something brighter and juicier. I

:14:30.:14:35.

have chosen the Finest Swartland Chinin Blanc from South Africa.

:14:35.:14:41.

If you like brightly fruitly vivacious wines but you're not a fan

:14:41.:14:51.
:14:51.:14:52.

of oak my tip is to go for a Chennin blanc like this one, quite aromatic,

:14:52.:14:56.

mouth watering. There it is, that lovely apple and wine which is so

:14:56.:15:00.

typical of this grape and which, of course, will be wonderful with the

:15:00.:15:04.

lime vinaigrette and the lime oil, but there is no heavy sweet-tasting

:15:04.:15:09.

oak here which might clash with the delicate fish or fennel salad. Best

:15:10.:15:15.

of all, its natural acidity makes it a really good wine to go with dishes

:15:15.:15:20.

with a hint of tomato. Your beautifully nuanced, elegant dish

:15:20.:15:25.

requires a well-balanced white to go with it, and in this wine, I think I

:15:25.:15:30.

have found it. Enjoy. What do you reckon of this? I think

:15:30.:15:38.

it's a bargain, 6.99. You never disappoint. There is a lot of

:15:38.:15:44.

flavours going on there - this is a really good match. It take takes the

:15:44.:15:48.

spice really well. What do you think? Absolutely. It's wonderful,

:15:48.:15:53.

quite apply. A fantastic sauce? Amazing. I think you're enjoying it

:15:53.:16:02.

now? Lovely.You like fennel? Converted! Coming up, Rachel has a

:16:03.:16:09.

great chicken dish for us. Remind us what it is? Also with fennel.

:16:09.:16:11.

Spatchcock chicken, fennel and mango salad. Exactly. Don't forget, you

:16:11.:16:15.

can also ask Rachel and Michael a question - if you want to know what

:16:15.:16:21.

to do with fennel, now is the appropriate time. Call us on this

:16:21.:16:26.

number. Standard network charges do apply, of course. Now let's catch up

:16:26.:16:31.

with Rick Stein. He's headed to the South of France today, but first,

:16:31.:16:36.

he's after some good old English baked beans. We have had ketchup.

:16:36.:16:39.

baked beans. We have had ketchup. Now we're after baked beans. Enjoy

:16:39.:16:49.
:16:49.:16:56.

get louder, and people seem a bit However, the film crew are

:16:56.:17:00.

and they keep wittering on about baked beans and sausages.

:17:00.:17:03.

But at Homps, there's a shop run by Shirley Preston that sells just

:17:03.:17:07.

that. But who would want to eat baked beans in France?

:17:07.:17:10.

People from the boats that want

:17:10.:17:12.

their bacon and eggs in the morning when they're on holiday, people that

:17:12.:17:15.

have lived here, because there's a big English population in this area

:17:16.:17:20.

now, people on holiday in gites, and quite a lot of French people.

:17:20.:17:24.

French people? French people.

:17:24.:17:25.

Yes, I was surprised, too.

:17:26.:17:27.

What an earth do they want?

:17:27.:17:29.

Erm...marmalade. Erm...

:17:29.:17:31.

not baked beans. Not baked beans?

:17:31.:17:35.

Not baked beans, not Marmite, and nothing to do with curry.

:17:35.:17:43.

What about bread? I heard they liked our sliced bread. Yes.

:17:43.:17:44.

Well, I get it in fresh every two weeks and it's gone like lightning.

:17:44.:17:46.

And that's one of the things the French like, believe it or not.

:17:47.:17:49.

I know the film crew are eyeing these tins and jars with wistful

:17:49.:17:53.

expressions and, of course, we'd been on the canal for over four

:17:53.:17:57.

weeks without a roast dinner.

:17:57.:17:59.

Actually, I really fancy beans, but not the type Shirley sells.

:17:59.:18:03.

I'd like to cook this - a ragout of lamb with fresh haricot beans

:18:03.:18:07.

that can be bought, it seems, at every market stall in France.

:18:07.:18:14.

As a cook, it's a pleasure to be able to use fresh haricot beans

:18:14.:18:18.

and not the dried ones I'm normally used to back at home.

:18:18.:18:21.

The lamb was a boned shoulder, perfect for a ragout.

:18:21.:18:25.

Chop it into quite large pieces and give it a little colour by

:18:25.:18:28.

quickly frying it in some olive oil.

:18:29.:18:31.

Add a spoon or two of plain flour which will help

:18:31.:18:33.

to thicken the finished dish. Then set aside the meat while you fry off

:18:33.:18:37.

a couple of onions with garlic - say three cloves - in the same pan.

:18:37.:18:44.

Add peeled and deseeded tomatoes, and when they've

:18:44.:18:47.

softened, put the meat back in.

:18:47.:18:50.

Make up a generous bouquet garni

:18:50.:18:52.

with dried thyme - which came from the hillside - and bay leaves.

:18:52.:18:56.

You need just over half a bottle

:18:56.:18:59.

of good southern French rose and a dollop of tomato puree.

:18:59.:19:06.

Cover the whole lot with stock, in this case it's chicken stock that

:19:07.:19:09.

Louis the chef made the day before.

:19:09.:19:11.

Season generously and for the moment, that's it.

:19:11.:19:18.

So just dab that lovely bouquet garni down inside, there, put on

:19:18.:19:23.

the lid and then for 30 minutes, cook it at an absolute tremble.

:19:23.:19:31.

And the French, in true French style, have a word for this -

:19:31.:19:35.

it's called mijoter, and there's no- word in English that means the same

:19:36.:19:39.

thing. It just means just a little bubble of heat on the top

:19:39.:19:43.

and you get the perfectly cooked ragout.

:19:43.:19:48.

Add the beans after an hour and a half, and because they're fresh,

:19:48.:19:53.

they cook in about 15 minutes. You don't want them all soft and mushy.

:19:53.:19:57.

They've got to be, well, like baked beans really.

:19:57.:20:03.

Dish out the bouquet garni and then

:20:03.:20:06.

to finish it off, a persillade of chopped parsley and garlic.

:20:06.:20:14.

I had this at a students' brasserie- in Paris near the Sorbonne when I

:20:14.:20:17.

was young - where I had to queue for ages to get a table. It was so cheap

:20:17.:20:21.

and it was served in a deep bowl with baguettes and a carafe of

:20:21.:20:26.

really rough red wine which to me in those days tasted lovely.

:20:26.:20:36.
:20:36.:20:38.

There's no better way of travelling.

:20:38.:20:40.

You arrive, in this case the southern city of Narbonne,

:20:40.:20:42.

seeing only the best of a place.

:20:42.:20:45.

No industrial sprawl, no traffic jams that put your

:20:45.:20:47.

nerves on edge, and no searching for that elusive parking place.

:20:47.:20:56.

Lots of people have assumed that I

:20:56.:20:57.

would be skippering this 100-foot barge all the way from Bordeaux.

:20:57.:21:00.

If that had happened, I don't think- we would have made it to Toulouse.

:21:00.:21:04.

The fact is that these big barges only just fit the locks and bridges

:21:04.:21:10.

and it takes a great deal of confidence and skill to get us

:21:10.:21:13.

this far. Even the steering wheel's- too big to go under these bridges.

:21:14.:21:18.

Another low one, you have

:21:18.:21:20.

to go to the miniature-sized wheel, driving my lorry...

:21:20.:21:24.

I haven't seen that before. we haven't been this low before.

:21:24.:21:34.
:21:34.:21:36.

Lovely. Very good.

:21:37.:21:39.

I'm going to pop out of here into the lock in one movement.

:21:39.:21:44.

Lee the skipper insisted we saw Narbonne.

:21:44.:21:44.

In fact, we had to branch off the Canal du Midi to do so.

:21:44.:21:46.

The canal was first built by the Romans 2,000 years ago and it runs

:21:46.:21:49.

exactly the same course today,

:21:50.:21:52.

cutting right into the heart of the city. There was a market by the side

:21:52.:21:57.

of the canal when the Romans were here, and there's still one today.

:21:57.:22:02.

of the canal when the Romans were here, and there's still one today.

:22:02.:22:04.

I really wanted to cook lunch for the barge crew. I'd been thinking

:22:04.:22:06.

about barbecued sardines with chilled rose for weeks now.

:22:06.:22:09.

These were caught last night using a bright lamp

:22:09.:22:12.

to attract them to the surface.

:22:12.:22:14.

What do you have with sardines?

:22:14.:22:16.

I mean, nothing more than a very simple salad. Nothing to sort of...

:22:16.:22:20.

No big deal, I mean nothing's a big deal here though, is it?

:22:20.:22:24.

I mean you come in here, it's, it's just so much easier to plan

:22:24.:22:27.

what you're going to cook when you

:22:27.:22:29.

can see everything, and it's so appetising and exciting. It's not

:22:29.:22:31.

in little packets and there you've got fish, you've got tongues galore,

:22:31.:22:36.

you've got, you know, oxtails, you've got lovely vegetables.

:22:36.:22:40.

It's easy to cook anything.

:22:40.:22:42.

Cooking shouldn't be difficult.

:22:42.:22:44.

This salad is so simple. Lovely ripe tomatoes, sweet pink onions, chopped

:22:44.:22:49.

flat-leafed parsley, chunky grains of sea salt and virgin olive oil.

:22:49.:22:55.

I know that if I were here for any length of time, I'd live off these

:22:55.:22:59.

wonderful salads and fresh fish, straight from the market. I always

:22:59.:23:02.

remember seeing a documentary about- Picasso when he was in his mid-70s,

:23:02.:23:06.

sitting down and eating grilled sardines and drinking glasses

:23:07.:23:10.

of, I suspect, cold red wine, surrounded by attractive women.

:23:10.:23:15.

And I remember thinking, what a life - I must eat more fish!

:23:15.:23:19.

Cheers!

:23:19.:23:21.

I found out from Louis, our chef, what people like to eat on board.

:23:21.:23:29.

I found out from Louis, our chef, what people like to eat on board.

:23:29.:23:30.

Normally just have a bowl of pasta or,

:23:30.:23:30.

f

:23:30.:23:33.

Oh, that's good. Would they be picking them up and eating them?

:23:33.:23:36.

I think it would be very Victorian,- with a knife and fork to be honest.

:23:36.:23:40.

In the restaurant, you see people eating prawns with a knife and fork.

:23:40.:23:50.
:23:50.:24:07.

You

:24:07.:24:08.

You can

:24:08.:24:08.

You can tell

:24:08.:24:14.

a farmed one and line caught one due to the size. If this was caught in

:24:14.:24:20.

the ocean, line caught, they'd have to throw it back. Too small.The

:24:20.:24:24.

farmed ones you get from the supermarket. We've got Karaway

:24:24.:24:30.

seeds, cumin seeds, smoked paprika, red wine vinegar, garlic and a

:24:30.:24:35.

little bit of chilli and tomato puree, not ketchup for this one. We

:24:35.:24:42.

just chop up the chillies. Harisa is that famous paste you get on holiday

:24:42.:24:46.

which goes really well with fish, chicken, all manner of things. It's

:24:46.:24:52.

simple to make it yourself. Throw that in a blender with spices. We

:24:52.:24:57.

have caraway, cumin seeds, smoked paprika. You can get the smoked or

:24:57.:25:04.

the hot. If you go for the hot one, it's even hotter. Red wine vinegar

:25:04.:25:09.

you pop in as well, and then the tomato puree. Let's get a decent

:25:09.:25:17.

amount of it. This is this fantastic stuff you get in Moroccan markets,

:25:17.:25:22.

Turkish markets which have the bowls of it - when you realise how quick,

:25:22.:25:29.

easy it is to make, which that is - a pinch of salt - that's your haria

:25:29.:25:39.
:25:39.:25:45.

paste. How do you spell it?Don't look at me. H-ahr- Issa.These are

:25:45.:25:49.

ratte potatoes - I can spell that, which they have traditionally in

:25:49.:25:56.

France, but we grow them in small quantities here. Nice, firm

:25:56.:26:00.

textures. Yes, particularly good with this, then you have sea bass

:26:00.:26:05.

you simply need to prepare. You need to remove this fin here. You can see

:26:05.:26:10.

it's quite sharp. Remove that first, otherwise, somebody is going to dive

:26:10.:26:15.

into that when it's cooked. We use a sharp pair of scissors and remove

:26:15.:26:19.

the fins, then trim off the tail because sometimes that burns a

:26:19.:26:23.

little bit, remove these little bits of fins. Sea bass is an amazing

:26:23.:26:27.

thing. It's lovely as it sits there, but you can imagine it in the ocean.

:26:27.:26:34.

It's a predator. The size of its mouth is massive, it goes catching

:26:34.:26:41.

live mackerel. It is a predator of the sea. It's fabulous. Called wolf

:26:41.:26:49.

of the sea in French. You score this on top. I always found your career

:26:49.:26:52.

fascinating because when you read about you, acting, you have always

:26:52.:26:56.

wanted to do it, but when you were at school you thought the one thing

:26:56.:27:02.

people remind you of - is distinct about you is the voice, but you

:27:02.:27:06.

thought that was going to let you down? Yeah, I thought I was very,

:27:06.:27:11.

very nasal. One of my teachers told me I'd never be able to speak

:27:11.:27:20.

properly. So yeah, I just didn't have the confidence to - I had no

:27:21.:27:24.

role models in Scotland in the early days. It's something you have

:27:24.:27:28.

literally been wanting to do from such a young age, really, and to

:27:28.:27:36.

even do it when you had a - you were a lab tetion in addition. I was, for

:27:36.:27:42.

ten years. But you were still doing it, amateur dramatics. Still did it.

:27:42.:27:47.

When I was 27, I decided to go to the Royal Academy in London.

:27:47.:27:51.

changed your life from then, but even then, it was the confidence.

:27:51.:27:55.

You thought your voice would still be an issue. Absolutely. I am

:27:55.:28:00.

surprised when people say, "Oh, you have a very nice voice, Richard." I

:28:00.:28:07.

still don't think I've got a very nice voice. I still hear the

:28:07.:28:14.

nasalness of it. That's the thing that stands you apart. I suppose so.

:28:14.:28:19.

Taxi drivers say, "I recognise you now from the voice". Gives me away.

:28:19.:28:25.

What we're going to do is grab our potatoes, pop these all over the to.

:28:25.:28:34.

I am using grease-proof paper. If you put it in tinfoil, it sticks.

:28:34.:28:39.

The harissa paste goes on there. What's the flavour of that paste?

:28:39.:28:45.

Quite spicy. Hot?You only want a little bit of it, yes, quite hot and

:28:45.:28:50.

spicy. Then get some of this ouring a know which we can pop in the

:28:50.:28:55.

cavity like that, a pinch of salt and pepper, wrap this up and bake it

:28:55.:29:02.

in the oven. Generally barb cues have lids nowadays, so you pop that

:29:02.:29:07.

in the barbecue, cook it for 15 minutes. Looking at your career, it

:29:07.:29:12.

has been a rise, rise, rise - it has! Theatre has been a huge part of

:29:12.:29:16.

your life and always has been. You're doing stuff now. Tell us

:29:16.:29:26.
:29:26.:29:26.

about that. I am rehearsing at the moment - Theatre Royal Bath for a

:29:26.:29:33.

play. I am playing the hotel manager. I don't have too much

:29:33.:29:40.

responsibility. When is it out?That opens on the 15th of August, this

:29:40.:29:46.

month. This month.Gosh! I shouldn't be here. On top of that, you're

:29:46.:29:51.

doing - not just on stage, but off as well because directing is big for

:29:51.:29:57.

you. I have a production in a new play called Love Your Soldiers,

:29:57.:30:04.

which is a play set in Afghanistan which goes to the Lysseum in

:30:04.:30:10.

October. I said it was a steady rise but Passage of India, you played a

:30:10.:30:15.

small part in. That film went on to be huge. That was exciting.Was that

:30:15.:30:20.

that set you up or other things? it was probably television, things

:30:20.:30:26.

like Only When I Laugh, then One Foot in the Grave, which was an

:30:26.:30:30.

explosion. We have to talk about that. Of course.12 years ago it

:30:30.:30:34.

stopped? Cru. 12 years ago. Why the decision to stop it? Is that

:30:35.:30:41.

something you and the writers decided? It was David, our brilliant

:30:41.:30:45.

writer - he had decided he had written the man, and that was about

:30:45.:30:54.

enough. He e said, "I am thinking of killing Victor". I said, "Yeah, kill

:30:54.:31:00.

him" But with something that's that successful, the temptation is to

:31:00.:31:07.

keep going. We would do six episode at a time. I also found it - the

:31:07.:31:11.

writing is key to this as well as the acting. Oh, yes.There was one

:31:11.:31:15.

episode you did purely in a car, didn't actually get out of the car,

:31:15.:31:25.
:31:25.:31:26.

the whole lot in the car. Yes, behind a horse's back side. Back

:31:26.:31:31.

side! It was difficult to do because we were pretending it was summer. We

:31:31.:31:35.

were filming it in the middle of winter, and because we were filming

:31:35.:31:39.

it in the car all the time, the car had no windscreen. It was freezing!

:31:39.:31:44.

And we were in summer shirts and things - awful. Where does that

:31:44.:31:48.

famous line, which I am not going to get you to do - where does that come

:31:48.:31:54.

from? Is that something you wrote? No, no. It was - Victor tended to

:31:54.:31:59.

say it quite a lot. It was never meant to be a catchphrase, but then

:31:59.:32:04.

gradually it caught on. You can open this up, and you've got this -

:32:04.:32:08.

ideally, if you're doing this on the barbecue, you can cook it the same

:32:08.:32:15.

way. I have put grease-proof paper in here. You can see it doesn't

:32:15.:32:20.

stick to the tinfoil. How long have you had that in the oven for?

:32:20.:32:24.

Between 15 and 20 minutes. Pop that on the plate and serve it on the

:32:24.:32:31.

paper. Is there fennel in there? fennel here, no fennel seed - none

:32:31.:32:36.

of that, lemon over the top like that, a bit of salt, then finally a

:32:36.:32:42.

little bit of - I'll put some of this rapeseed over the top. Were the

:32:42.:32:48.

potatoes cooked first? No, they steam while you're doing it. Have a

:32:48.:32:53.

try of that. Gosh, lovely.So give us the name of the play you're

:32:53.:33:01.

playing in? A Little Hotel on the Side. Where?Theatre Royal, Bath

:33:01.:33:06.

opening on the 15th of August going on until the end of August. Best of

:33:06.:33:11.

luck with that. Tell us what you think of that one. I am going to

:33:11.:33:16.

rehearsal this afternoon. Happy with that? Happy with that!Happy because

:33:16.:33:21.

it has no fennel. Lovely.If there is a skill or technique you would

:33:21.:33:29.

like us to demonstrate, drop us a line or go to the website.

:33:29.:33:39.
:33:39.:33:42.

We'll be cooking Richard at the end of the show food heaven or food

:33:42.:33:49.

hell, mustard - I am going to make my own whole grain mustard, blanched

:33:49.:33:57.

beans added to a salad, with a creamy sauce with a fillet of pork

:33:57.:34:01.

and buttery potato on the side. Lovely. Our viewers get to decide

:34:02.:34:07.

but you have to wait until the end of the show to see the final result.

:34:07.:34:11.

You enjoying that? We have reached decision time in Celebrity

:34:11.:34:16.

Masterchef. One of our finalists will be crowned champion, but which

:34:16.:34:26.
:34:26.:34:26.

Apology for the loss of subtitles for 60 seconds

:34:26.:35:26.

..and then a marmalade My concern is that

:35:26.:35:36.
:35:36.:35:43.

If he goes too far, John, it will He's serving that

:35:43.:35:53.
:35:53.:36:06.

Will that sea-reared trout It's got to be turned out

:36:06.:36:16.
:36:16.:36:18.

Not happy to just give us a chocolate fondant,

:36:18.:36:20.

which we would love,

:36:20.:36:22.

he's trying for shortbread biscuits.

:36:22.:36:30.

He's also going to make an orange sorbet.

:36:30.:36:37.

Finalists, you have had 40 minutes!

:36:37.:36:47.
:36:47.:36:53.

Let me say right now,

:36:53.:36:54.

I LOVE Emma's food!

:36:54.:36:58.

She has got a ravioli.

:36:58.:37:00.

Inside, there's ricotta, peas,

:37:00.:37:02.

mint, in a bacon-flavoured butter.

:37:02.:37:04.

That is speaking to my inner depths.

:37:04.:37:08.

What's next?

:37:08.:37:09.

Make the pasta!

:37:09.:37:15.

For the main course,

:37:15.:37:16.

she is cooking turbot.

:37:16.:37:17.

Beautiful fish. Difficult to cook.

:37:17.:37:18.

Underneath, vegetables inside leeks.

:37:18.:37:22.

Those leeks have to be almost falling apart...

:37:22.:37:27.

..or it's going to be like chewing on a raw onion.

:37:27.:37:32.

I've got to say, it sounds elegant.

:37:32.:37:35.

It sounds sophisticated, it sounds exciting.

:37:35.:37:41.

And she's serving that with a classic beurre blanc.

:37:41.:37:45.

Buttery sauce.

:37:45.:37:47.

Get in there, Emma. That is beautiful, beautiful!

:37:47.:37:53.

Emma's dessert - beautiful floating islands.

:37:53.:37:55.

Little poached meringues, sitting in vanilla custard...

:37:55.:37:59.

..with praline on top.

:37:59.:38:02.

T

:38:02.:38:06.

If you undercook them, inside is just

:38:06.:38:08.

raw, tinny egg white.

:38:08.:38:11.

Done properly,

:38:11.:38:12.

they are beautiful.

:38:12.:38:20.

45 minutes left.

:38:20.:38:30.
:38:30.:38:32.

We've always said that Michael cooks food

:38:32.:38:33.

that people want to eat,

:38:33.:38:35.

and today, his menu - boom!

:38:35.:38:41.

Mackerel -

:38:41.:38:42.

rich, oily fish,

:38:42.:38:44.

served with a spiciness of beetroot.

:38:44.:38:49.

And then the richness and heat

:38:49.:38:50.

from that horseradish.

:38:50.:38:53.

Absolutely fantastic.

:38:53.:38:58.

Main course, we've got a lamb,

:38:58.:38:59.

carrot puree.

:38:59.:39:04.

Serving on potatoes

:39:04.:39:06.

rich with truffle oil.

:39:06.:39:11.

Fantastic!

:39:11.:39:15.

Michael's got half a saddle of lamb,

:39:15.:39:17.

and he's filled it up with apricots and spinach.

:39:17.:39:19.

Then he's wrapping in caul fat,

:39:19.:39:26.

Then he's wrapping in caul fat,

:39:26.:39:27.

so the whole thing is held together

:39:27.:39:29.

i

:39:29.:39:34.

Michael, you're playing with some big, big flavours here.

:39:34.:39:36.

He's got to make sure that not one of those flavours,

:39:36.:39:40.

especially the truffle, is overpowering.

:39:40.:39:44.

For dessert, we have a souffle,

:39:45.:39:46.

with bananas and passion fruit - the taste of the tropics.

:39:46.:39:54.

John, a souffle,

:39:54.:39:55.

I think is brave, brave, brave.

:39:55.:40:00.

But banana is heavy and sticky.

:40:00.:40:02.

It's not easy to make that souffle light enough to rise.

:40:02.:40:07.

You've got to be a very, very good pastry cook indeed.

:40:07.:40:15.

Guys, you've got 13 minutes.

:40:15.:40:17.

Unlucky for some.

:40:17.:40:24.

Come on.

:40:24.:40:34.
:40:34.:40:42.

Oh, wow!

:40:42.:40:46.

HE LAUGHS Love you!

:40:46.:40:52.

Ten seconds. Last ten seconds.

:40:52.:41:02.

Time's up, you're done.

:41:02.:41:03.

You're finished.

:41:03.:41:13.
:41:13.:41:18.

Still

:41:18.:41:18.

Still to

:41:18.:41:19.

Still to come

:41:19.:41:27.

Live, Raymond Blanc is getting all excited about microherbs. He's

:41:27.:41:35.

trying quite a few. This looks delicious. It's our last show for a

:41:35.:41:41.

few weeks. I hope Michael and Rachel aren't planning any practical yolks

:41:41.:41:48.

and will be trying egg-stremely hard to break Paul - any anyway, will

:41:48.:41:55.

Richard face food heaven, the ragu or hell, pork with green beans?

:41:55.:42:00.

We'll have to wait until the end of the show to find out. What better

:42:00.:42:05.

way to introduce our next guest - it's the brilliant Rachel Allen. On

:42:05.:42:09.

the menu for you? Spatchcock chicken, fennel and mango salad.

:42:09.:42:14.

This salad would probably go well with the fish. Sounds pretty good,

:42:14.:42:21.

maybe not on Richard's menu as well! There is a lot less ingredients than

:42:21.:42:27.

when Michael was cooking. cooking is so beautiful. This is

:42:27.:42:33.

typical me, very simple. Would you mind peeling and dicing a mango? I

:42:33.:42:39.

will spatchcock the chichen. I have poultry sheers, but I am going to

:42:39.:42:45.

use a knife, so anyone can do it. I am going to get rid of the legs.

:42:45.:42:52.

Spatchcocking is cutting through the backbones, chicken breast side up,

:42:53.:42:58.

so just flatten out the chicken so it cooks evenly in a barbecue or to

:42:58.:43:03.

roast in an oven. I am cutting down the backbone there, really great for

:43:03.:43:09.

a barbecue. Once you have cut like that you can put it breast side up,

:43:09.:43:15.

so crack it. Flatten it down?Yes, then slash the legs a couple of

:43:15.:43:20.

times like this, so the legs, thighs and drumsticks cook at the same

:43:20.:43:26.

speed as the breasts, so I have some cloves of garlic. Put the garlic on

:43:26.:43:32.

the roasting tray with the chicken spatchcocked like so. You sliced it

:43:32.:43:38.

as well? I what isYou sliced it? Yeah, I slashed the legs a few times

:43:38.:43:48.
:43:48.:43:50.

so the legs cook at the same speed. That's nice. Well done.

:43:50.:43:54.

For the chicken, I am using rap Rosemary and thyme. The lemon thyme

:43:54.:43:59.

you were talking about would, of course, be gorgeous, wouldn't it?

:43:59.:44:05.

Really lovely. Would you Mike mind - toast those, thank you. A little bit

:44:05.:44:12.

of oil? Toast the hazelnuts, and I am going to scatter those over the

:44:12.:44:16.

salad. This would work well with chicken, as I am, but fish - it

:44:16.:44:22.

works well with delicious, grilled, barbequed meat. Has Ireland had a

:44:22.:44:26.

good summer? We have had amazing weather. I heard it was raining.Was

:44:27.:44:32.

that in the last few days? Last week. Excuse me, look at the suntan!

:44:32.:44:38.

No, we have had a really gorgeous, gorgeous heatwave it, it has been

:44:38.:44:44.

amazing. Everyone is in great form. You can brought it that but also the

:44:44.:44:49.

cookery school. 30 years. Can you believe the cookery school has been

:44:49.:44:56.

going for 30 years? Busy as well.We had a literary Festival this year,

:44:56.:45:01.

food and wine, another one planned for next year, good and busy. I have

:45:01.:45:05.

a three-month course starting in September, yes. Now the students

:45:05.:45:11.

have to take part in the dairy farming, so they have to milk the

:45:11.:45:17.

cow cows. They all have to do it once. Part of their duty now is to

:45:17.:45:24.

make butter, make the yogurt and milk the cows. Fantastic.So you're

:45:24.:45:27.

crushing the hazelnuts. I have done one thing. I have the mint and the

:45:27.:45:32.

fennel. I'll do that in a minute. Lovely. I am putting it over the

:45:32.:45:41.

chicken, lots of Rosemary and thyme, salt and pepper, generously

:45:41.:45:47.

seasoning the skin. If I were doing this in advance, put the chicken in

:45:47.:45:52.

overnight - I wouldn't put salt on because that would dry it out too

:45:52.:45:58.

much and some olive oil. Sounds good. You're chopping lots of mint,

:45:58.:46:04.

thank you. Got fennel again! What is it with you lot and fennel? But it's

:46:04.:46:10.

so great. It's obviously in season at this time of the year, and that's

:46:11.:46:17.

the bulb fennel. It's wonderful raw, a great crunch in salads, loves

:46:17.:46:22.

citrus flavours and cheese like feta but it's good just grilled like

:46:22.:46:29.

but it's good just grilled like that. Depends who you ask! OK. So

:46:29.:46:36.

we've got the fennel and the mango gone in there as well. Mango -

:46:36.:46:40.

instead of mango, fennel is great with orange. As well as all of this,

:46:40.:46:48.

you have just finished a new cookery show. I have indeed, Richel's

:46:48.:46:58.
:46:58.:46:59.

Everyday Kitchen, the book is out in September, so I have been busy.

:46:59.:47:09.
:47:09.:47:10.

anything yet? Salt, got it. This Prixes and all the recipes are on

:47:10.:47:17.

our website. This is perfect for this kind of

:47:17.:47:22.

weather. This is the kind of food I have been cooking. Great for home

:47:22.:47:28.

cooks as well. Absolutely.A wonderful family meal, beautiful.

:47:28.:47:35.

You have mint, olive oil, salt, pepper, mango, feta cheese.

:47:35.:47:41.

whole lot you want it literally on like that? Yes, lovely.On the

:47:41.:47:45.

barbecue, you would have to cook that similar to the fish - put the

:47:45.:47:52.

lid on? Yes or just turn it. It does work well on the barbecue. It will

:47:52.:47:57.

take depending on the heat 45 minutes to an hour but it cooks

:47:57.:48:03.

minutes to an hour but it cooks evenly. Woops. That's fine! And then

:48:03.:48:10.

the garlic - let's see, put that on there, and some of the juices?

:48:10.:48:16.

course. And also, you can deglaze this pan and keep it for another

:48:16.:48:23.

sauce or gravy. This is all of those great juices, and that's it. That is

:48:23.:48:31.

my spatchcock chicken, fennel and mango salad. Done. Looks lovely,

:48:31.:48:38.

very quick, but looks delicious. you giving it out? You get to taste

:48:38.:48:42.

this. I don't know how I am going to present this to you. I think you

:48:42.:48:47.

just start that way and keep the fennel far enough away from you. I

:48:47.:48:51.

don't know where you start with this one. Why is it called spatchcock

:48:51.:48:58.

again? It's the cutting the chicken down and fanning it out. The idea is

:48:58.:49:05.

it all cooks evenly on the barbecue. That salad is delicious. Why are you

:49:05.:49:11.

laughing? I am not saying anything! You're brave, went straight for the

:49:11.:49:19.

fennel as well. And the chicken, plenty of herbs. Absolutely.

:49:19.:49:24.

long did that take? Three-and-a-half minutes - no! It would take about 40

:49:24.:49:27.

minutes for chicken that size. Something like that, but on the

:49:27.:49:32.

barbecue, probably about half an hour. Yes.Happy with that? We

:49:33.:49:42.
:49:43.:49:55.

needed wine to go with this. We sent Rachel, when I made your wonderful

:49:55.:50:00.

spatchcock chicken, I discovered the real challenge to the wine lies in

:50:00.:50:04.

the mango in the salad. Not many dry white wines can take on that fruit.

:50:04.:50:12.

You could go for a ripe, chardonnay. This could be a good candidate, but

:50:12.:50:18.

I think in the end there is only one that's up to the job, and the wine I

:50:18.:50:25.

have chosen is the Yali National Reserva Viognier from chil Chile.

:50:25.:50:30.

The remarkable thing about this is it tastes uniquely of peaches and

:50:30.:50:37.

mangoes, yet most examples, like this one, finish beautifully dry.

:50:37.:50:42.

It's richly perfumed. Those fruits just waft up from the glass. This

:50:42.:50:48.

wine is a ripe, full flavoured Chilean, so it will definitely stand

:50:48.:50:53.

up to that herby spatchcock chicken. What's clever, though, is the

:50:53.:50:57.

specific fruit flavours - the peaches and mangoes - will really

:50:57.:51:02.

chime in with the fruit in the salad, then it ends on a fresh note.

:51:02.:51:07.

I think that's what's nice with the lemony dressing, the fresh mint and

:51:07.:51:12.

of course, the cool feta cheese. Rachel, you have given us a super

:51:12.:51:19.

fresh summer treat, and here is auptious Chilean to pair with it.

:51:19.:51:24.

Cheers. Cheers indeed. Is this a Chilean

:51:24.:51:29.

wine? Chilean wine.Love it. Better than the other one. You like that

:51:29.:51:34.

better? I do.What do you reckon? Excellent. This is so morish and

:51:34.:51:42.

with the wine, fab. They're happy! It's time for the finalists to serve

:51:43.:51:47.

their last plates of food to Greg and John. Who will walk away with

:51:47.:51:57.
:51:57.:51:57.

Apology for the loss of subtitles for 60 seconds

:51:57.:52:49.

and he's filled it up with but at the same time,

:52:49.:52:52.

That fat surrounding the outside of that lamb

:52:52.:52:53.

is the only issue I've got.

:52:53.:52:56.

For his dessert, Michael's made

:52:56.:52:57.

a banana and passion fruit souffle.

:52:57.:53:05.

I am so impressed with your souffle.

:53:05.:53:10.

The texture of it

:53:10.:53:11.

is pillowishly light,

:53:11.:53:12.

but still sweet and sticky, and the whole thing has body.

:53:12.:53:15.

I get the fragrance of the passion fruit, but the big flavour in there

:53:15.:53:18.

i

:53:18.:53:20.

That, technically,

:53:20.:53:21.

is absolutely spot-on.

:53:21.:53:25.

Thank you very much.

:53:25.:53:28.

Emma, come on up.

:53:28.:53:35.

I'm looking down at three plates of food

:53:35.:53:36.

which would grace the tables of any restaurant.

:53:36.:53:39.

They look fantastic.

:53:39.:53:44.

Emma's starter is pea, mint and ricotta ravioli,

:53:44.:53:48.

with pancetta butter and pea shoots.

:53:48.:53:55.

That makes me very happy.

:53:55.:53:57.

Very, very happy.

:53:57.:53:59.

Light pasta,

:53:59.:54:00.

salty from pancetta.

:54:00.:54:02.

Then, wallop! Sweet pea,

:54:02.:54:04.

fresh mint.

:54:05.:54:06.

It's just lovely!

:54:06.:54:08.

It's as close as your mouth is going to get

:54:08.:54:10.

to walking through a spring garden.

:54:10.:54:11.

It's stunning!

:54:11.:54:15.

is perfect.

:54:15.:54:18.

Emma's main course

:54:18.:54:20.

is pan-fried turbot,

:54:20.:54:21.

topped with samphire,

:54:21.:54:22.

with vegetable-filled leek cannelloni,

:54:22.:54:24.

crushed roast potatoes,

:54:24.:54:25.

and a beurre blanc sauce.

:54:25.:54:32.

I think it's sweet, it's sharp, it's sour.

:54:32.:54:33.

And it's got the earthiness from that wonderful piece of turbot.

:54:33.:54:36.

In that little precious leek cannelloni,

:54:36.:54:38.

fine dice of courgettes, shallots,

:54:38.:54:41.

as well.

:54:41.:54:45.

Yes.

:54:45.:54:47.

Clever!

:54:47.:54:48.

Clever!

:54:48.:54:51.

Emma's made a dessert

:54:51.:54:53.

of ile flottante -

:54:53.:54:54.

poached meringue in creme anglaise,

:54:54.:54:56.

with almond praline topping

:54:56.:54:58.

and shortbread biscuits.

:54:58.:55:06.

Shoot me now, I'll go to heaven.

:55:06.:55:08.

Creamy, sweet,

:55:08.:55:09.

rich, indulgent, light.

:55:09.:55:11.

Perfect. That is so light, that little island in there,

:55:11.:55:14.

but it's finished with a little sugar crust

:55:14.:55:16.

and some almonds.

:55:16.:55:19.

Lovely, lovely, lovely.

:55:19.:55:22.

Thank you very much.

:55:22.:55:24.

Danny, let's taste your food.

:55:24.:55:27.

Danny's starter is smoked duck breast,

:55:27.:55:30.

with pear and vanilla puree,

:55:30.:55:31.

chicory,

:55:31.:55:33.

and a chicory marmalade.

:55:33.:55:42.

Beautiful pot of chicory marmalade.

:55:42.:55:44.

It's sharp, it's bitter

:55:44.:55:45.

but, at the same time, sweet.

:55:45.:55:47.

Then suddenly, in comes

:55:47.:55:49.

the iron of your smoked duck.

:55:49.:55:51.

That, for me,

:55:51.:55:53.

is a sensation and a flavour

:55:53.:55:54.

I really like.

:55:54.:56:00.

Danny's main course

:56:00.:56:01.

is sea-reared trout

:56:01.:56:02.

on aubergine puree,

:56:02.:56:03.

with tomatoes, crushed potatoes,

:56:03.:56:05.

and a tomato and pepper sauce.

:56:05.:56:13.

I love the delicacy of the fish

:56:13.:56:14.

with a little bit of sweetness of the peppers.

:56:14.:56:16.

I love the smoky aubergine puree,

:56:16.:56:17.

I really, really do.

:56:17.:56:18.

Those flavours, I find complimentary

:56:18.:56:20.

and very new. I like it.

:56:20.:56:23.

For his dessert, Danny's made chocolate fondant,

:56:23.:56:25.

with an orange sorbet

:56:25.:56:29.

and rosemary and almond shortbread.

:56:29.:56:38.

That chocolate - rich, but not too rich -

:56:38.:56:39.

going with the liquorice flavour of star anise,

:56:39.:56:41.

and then the rosemary,

:56:41.:56:43.

which is like antiseptic on your tongue,

:56:43.:56:45.

and numbing your palate - love it!

:56:45.:56:50.

Thanks, Danny. Thank you.

:56:50.:56:55.

We've got a lot of talking to do, obviously.

:56:55.:56:56.

We've got a big decision to make. For the last time, off you go.

:56:56.:57:00.

We'll get you back in when we've made a decision. Thank you.

:57:00.:57:10.

It's not going to be easy.

:57:10.:57:14.

JOHN: Our three had huge ambition, and it was matched

:57:14.:57:16.

by the delivery.

:57:16.:57:17.

What they all

:57:17.:57:19.

individually achieved today,

:57:19.:57:20.

I think was brilliant.

:57:20.:57:30.
:57:30.:57:42.

Danny's bravery, and his ability

:57:42.:57:44.

to make his food thought-provoking.

:57:44.:57:45.

Emma's journey on MasterChef

:57:45.:57:47.

has been nothing short of incredible.

:57:47.:57:48.

She has propelled herself to absolute greatness

:57:48.:57:50.

through sheer tenacity.

:57:50.:57:51.

Michael has got skill, imagination,

:57:51.:57:53.

heart and soul by the bucketful.

:57:53.:57:55.

For me,

:57:56.:57:57.

there is one worthy candidate for this trophy.

:57:57.:58:00.

One person

:58:00.:58:01.

who has just pushed themselves

:58:01.:58:03.

SO hard.

:58:03.:58:07.

One champion.

:58:07.:58:17.
:58:17.:58:20.

I have nothing but respect for you three.

:58:20.:58:30.
:58:30.:58:33.

Our Celebrity MasterChef Champion

:58:33.:58:34.

is...

:58:34.:58:39.

..Emma.

:58:39.:58:44.

Oh, my darling! Well done!Oh!

:58:44.:58:49.

Congratulations. Absolutely brilliant.

:58:49.:58:59.
:58:59.:59:01.

BOTH: Thank you.

:59:01.:59:10.

Unbelievable!

:59:10.:59:10.

That's for you. Thank you!

:59:11.:59:12.

Thank you so much. Thank you, John. Thank you.

:59:12.:59:22.
:59:22.:59:27.

It's

:59:27.:59:27.

It's time

:59:27.:59:28.

It's time top

:59:28.:59:34.

foodie questions. Each caller is also going to help us decide what

:59:34.:59:38.

Richard will be eating at the end of the show. First we have Paul on the

:59:38.:59:45.

line from Essex. Are you there? here. What's your question?I had

:59:45.:59:50.

pigs' cheeks resently in a restaurant. I want to know what to

:59:50.:59:56.

do with them. Braced, caramelised and cook them like stew, really,

:59:56.:00:00.

vegetable in there, a nice bit of stock and a little bit of flour to

:00:00.:00:05.

roast the pig cheeks at the beginning, then let them cook very

:00:05.:00:08.

slowly, braise them for an hour-and-a-half two, hours, nice and

:00:08.:00:13.

soft. There is a lot of collagen in there, so it has to become tender.

:00:13.:00:17.

Treat it like a stew. Very much. What dish would you like to see at

:00:17.:00:23.

the end of the show? Heaven, please. And Sue from Cheshire, are you

:00:23.:00:29.

there? Hi, James.What's your question for us? I have a family of

:00:29.:00:34.

young children who adore whitebait, but I can never get it really

:00:34.:00:39.

crispy. I also want a child-friendly dressing to go with it. What a nice

:00:39.:00:44.

grandmother. Whitebait - what about soaking it in milk for a minute,

:00:44.:00:51.

then putting it into well-seasoned flour with salt and pepper, cook it

:00:51.:00:56.

on a high temperature because it's so small and thin, it will cook

:00:56.:01:01.

quickly, 190 degrees in a deep friar, then what about tartare

:01:01.:01:09.

sauce? Our children love it, then gherkins, parsley, chopped hard boil

:01:09.:01:17.

egg, mayonnaise. What oil should I use? I would use rapeseed oil, but

:01:17.:01:22.

for deep frying vegetable oil? What dish would you like to see me

:01:22.:01:31.

cook? Sorry. I hate pasta so it has to be hell for me. One a piece.

:01:31.:01:36.

Sheila is from Cornwall. What's your question for us? I have half a leg

:01:36.:01:40.

of mutton. I would like to know how to cook it? Mutton, you know, is

:01:40.:01:45.

quite a strong flavour, so a nice, big casserole, slow cooked, perhaps

:01:45.:01:55.
:01:55.:01:58.

a bit of vegetable - celleriac to soften it, shallots, loads of herbs,

:01:58.:02:04.

Rosemary, thyme, garlic, lid on, in the oven, a very slow cooking

:02:04.:02:10.

process, two hours, 160, delicious. I find if you put layers of potatoes

:02:10.:02:17.

under it, it all soaks in, pot roast it as well. The key is to not treat

:02:17.:02:22.

it like a leg of lamb. Long slow cook it. What dish would you like

:02:22.:02:30.

see at the end of the show? Heaven, please. Heaven. And Julian from

:02:30.:02:34.

Manchester. What's your question? How do you cook the perfect chips?

:02:34.:02:40.

What sort of oil do you use? This is going to be controversial. I think

:02:40.:02:45.

chips have to be twice cooked, so peel your potatoes, like French peel

:02:45.:02:50.

them, cut them up, dry them with kitchen paper, then put them into

:02:50.:02:56.

oil just at about 160 degrees so they cook all the way through so

:02:56.:03:02.

their soft, then drain then, then heat the oil up to 180 or 190, if

:03:02.:03:07.

bigger chips 180, smaller, 190, then cook them again so they get crisp on

:03:08.:03:13.

the outside. They're already fluffy on the inside. Drain them, just as

:03:13.:03:22.

you're draining them, salt, so sun flower or vegetable oil. Or triple

:03:22.:03:32.
:03:32.:03:32.

cooking - OK, Heston.Eight minutes, then do your slow cook, 160, 140,

:03:32.:03:41.

then lastly, get them in the fryer. There's lots of versions...

:03:41.:03:46.

Passionate about it. Lovely and crisp. What dish would you like to

:03:46.:03:53.

see? Definitely food heaven.There you go. Thank you.Pamela from

:03:53.:03:55.

Northampton, are you there? Good morning. Good morning. What's your

:03:56.:04:00.

question for us? My other half has proudly come home and presented me

:04:00.:04:04.

with trout. Any tips on what to do with it would be greatly

:04:04.:04:14.

appreciated. OK.Your dish earlier is a nice way of cook cooking it or

:04:14.:04:18.

how about poaching them, poached like you would a salmon, take the

:04:18.:04:23.

fillets, poach them with vegetables cooked out in stock with water to

:04:23.:04:28.

make a lovely stock or pan roasted, equally, is quite nice. Even that

:04:28.:04:32.

dressing you made, the beurre noisette is, a classic accompaniment

:04:32.:04:41.

with trout. Yes or cooked with burning butter and then a few

:04:41.:04:45.

almonds sprinkled in as well, lemon juice to cut through the acidity. I

:04:46.:04:50.

love trout. People are often a little bit scared of it because it's

:04:50.:04:56.

fiddly with the bones but cook it whole ideally. Yes, you can have it

:04:56.:05:01.

filleted - the bones are quite fine. You have three or four recipes

:05:01.:05:05.

there. You can choose which one. Which dish would you like to see,

:05:05.:05:10.

heaven or hell? I'm sorry, but I love mustard, so hell. I tried my

:05:10.:05:16.

best, you see? You're looking for some advice as well. I am looking

:05:16.:05:23.

for simple recipes for the Five Two Diet. The five days? I can give you

:05:23.:05:30.

that. The fasting days, 600 calories for men, 500 for women. A lot of the

:05:30.:05:37.

recipes are fiddly. I am looking for something simple. Do you like Asian

:05:37.:05:43.

flavours? Sounds a bit complicated. What about in the steamer,

:05:43.:05:49.

grease-proof parchment paper and some pock choi leaves, mackerel or

:05:49.:05:57.

trout and some slivers of ginger and garlic... No, no, too complicated.

:05:57.:06:03.

glass of water. Tomatoes are in season at the moment, in a pot,

:06:03.:06:07.

chopped garlic, basil, olive oil, brought to the boil, gently cook for

:06:07.:06:12.

20 minutes, have that with a soup, fantastic with black pepper, lovely.

:06:12.:06:17.

I don't do simple, so- LAUGHTER

:06:17.:06:21.

It would take you the other five days to make one of his dishes.

:06:21.:06:28.

about a lovely fillet of fish, like grey mullet, very quick to cook,

:06:28.:06:34.

nice and thin, then roast it, even something as simple as steamed

:06:34.:06:41.

vegetables, new potatoes cooked, wonderful peas are in season, broad

:06:41.:06:47.

beans - even green beans - hang on. You don't like that. Even with a

:06:47.:06:52.

little bit of bacon - peas and parsley I mean. Yeah, beautiful with

:06:52.:07:00.

gem lettuce through it as well, some on chrons. The French call that au

:07:00.:07:07.

glaze. Yes.Peas and lettuce would be really good, sounds unusual

:07:07.:07:13.

cooking with lettuce. I use a lot of lettuce with lemon juice. Peas and

:07:13.:07:19.

lettuce - obviously not the bacon. I got that bit wrong. It's time for

:07:19.:07:23.

our final omelette challenge of the summer. Good luck.Try and get rid

:07:23.:07:29.

of this guy off the centre of the board, 17.5 seconds he's got, Mr

:07:29.:07:38.

Paul Rankin. Usual rules apply... No swearing. A three-egg omelette

:07:38.:07:45.

cooked as quick as you can, three, two, one, go. Blimey. Quick!

:07:45.:07:55.
:07:55.:08:08.

goodness. Thank you very much. Was that garnished with finesse at the

:08:08.:08:18.
:08:18.:08:20.

end? The pan was really hot! It is hot, actually. This one-

:08:20.:08:25.

LAUGHTER I know! It's no wonder... Not my

:08:25.:08:29.

finest moment. Neither of you is the finest moment. Both - doesn't matter

:08:29.:08:35.

about the salt and pepper now. We are - you are on the board - Michael

:08:35.:08:42.

with 23 seconds and Rachel with 30 seconds - so Rachel... Yes. I feel

:08:42.:08:47.

like I have been called into the principal's office, "So Rachel"! Do

:08:47.:08:53.

you think you beat your fellow Irishman? Not a chance! Do you think

:08:53.:09:02.

you beat your original time? seconds - um, um... Did. Yes! You

:09:02.:09:06.

can take that back to Ireland because you're a lot quicker, only

:09:06.:09:13.

by three seconds but you did it at 20.04, not bad - there. Well done.

:09:13.:09:16.

Michael... Are quick at making Michael... Are quick at making

:09:16.:09:21.

these. Yeah. No. Hopefully, I have done a bit better than that.

:09:21.:09:27.

have been practising I take it? You liar! Unfortunately, you weren't

:09:27.:09:33.

quicker. You did it in 24. 46 seconds... Well done. There you go.

:09:34.:09:42.

Will Richard get his idea of food heaven or food hell? Our chefs will

:09:42.:09:48.

make their choices whilst you enjoy a fabulous final recipe from Raymond

:09:48.:09:52.

Blanc. He has a stunning dish for us today, a quail's egg ravioli, but

:09:52.:10:02.
:10:02.:10:09.

first, he's getting all emotional has been cultivating micro herbs

:10:09.:10:16.

grown very, very small,

:10:16.:10:21.

when the flavour is so fresh. What do we have here?

:10:21.:10:23.

This is baby coriander.

:10:23.:10:27.

Goodness me! Mmm.One shoot. Wah!

:10:27.:10:30.

What I love about these, it's a micro world of micro herbs.

:10:31.:10:35.

They are absolutely delicious. I'm going to use that one definitely, sage.

:10:35.:10:40.

Even micro, they still have... They are packed with power.

:10:40.:10:44.

This is winter savory and it is explosive.

:10:44.:10:49.

It's absolutely gorgeous.

:10:49.:10:50.

Very much a flavour like thyme and, like Richard says, really packed with flavour.

:10:50.:10:55.

Oh, look at that!

:10:55.:10:56.

One of my favourites - little baby cucumbers.

:10:56.:10:59.

Imagine on a little dish.

:10:59.:11:02.

I'm going to cry. I get very emotional.

:11:02.:11:05.

I think most women are going to get- very emotional when they see your micro cucumbers.

:11:05.:11:09.

This is true. Yeah, they're lovely.

:11:09.:11:18.

Richard's micro herbs will add the finishing touches to Raymond's final dish.

:11:18.:11:23.

A beautiful quail's egg ravioli.

:11:23.:11:26.

A single poached egg encased in spinach and Parmesan wrapped in silky pasta.

:11:26.:11:31.

The dish is drizzled with beurre blanc,

:11:31.:11:33.

topped with wild mushrooms, deep fried sage leaves and micro herbs.

:11:33.:11:37.

I've done my pasta. 250g of very strong flour,

:11:37.:11:41.

two whole eggs, one egg yolk, a pinch of salt,

:11:41.:11:45.

one tablespoon of water to give the stretch to the pasta.

:11:45.:11:50.

It's been rested half an hour in the fridge,

:11:50.:11:53.

or up to two hours if you want to.

:11:53.:11:55.

Then... Oh, my God, that's the small, horrible one you've given me again.

:11:55.:11:59.

Raymond rolls the pasta until it becomes almost transparent.

:11:59.:12:04.

You notice the pasta... CLINKING

:12:04.:12:08.

It's a good design, isn't it?

:12:08.:12:10.

It's like an old, battered car.

:12:10.:12:14.

Adam, please could I have a tray, please?

:12:15.:12:20.

As you can see, already you can see my hands behind.

:12:20.:12:23.

I can see it from here anyway.

:12:23.:12:26.

The pasta is covered and chilled.

:12:26.:12:29.

Merci, Adam. In the fridge.

:12:29.:12:31.

Tres bien. So, now we're going to prepare the filling for the ravioli.

:12:31.:12:36.

To finely chopped cooked spinach, Raymond adds 20 grams of grated Parmesan.

:12:36.:12:45.

He fills moulds with the spinach and Parmesan mixture.

:12:45.:12:50.

What I'm going to do now is little nests.

:12:50.:12:53.

I'm going to press right inside, create a hollow,

:12:53.:12:57.

which is going to hold the quail egg later.

:12:57.:13:00.

Tres bien. So, you've got your little nest here.

:13:00.:13:03.

While the spinach mix chills, Raymond prepares his star ingredient.

:13:03.:13:08.

We are going to fill in the middle of the ravioli a beautiful quail egg,

:13:08.:13:14.

and, if you wish, a hen's egg. You decide.

:13:14.:13:17.

The eggs go into gently boiling water and a dash of vinegar.

:13:17.:13:23.

You need that vinegar to firm up the egg white around the yolk

:13:23.:13:27.

so it's tight together,

:13:27.:13:28.

unless your egg white has just been come out from the hen.

:13:28.:13:32.

And it's pretty rare to get them like that.

:13:32.:13:35.

The hens' eggs are poached for one and a half minutes.

:13:35.:13:39.

The quails' eggs take 30 seconds.

:13:39.:13:42.

So, we're going to place delicately...

:13:42.:13:48.

our eggs.

:13:48.:13:49.

Put them in the little moulds, the little nests voila.

:13:49.:13:57.

Raymond tops the egg and spinach parcels with freshly shaved Parmesan.

:13:57.:14:02.

Or black truffle.

:14:03.:14:04.

If you're lucky to have a nice truffle at home.

:14:04.:14:08.

Next, Raymond moves on to the ravioli.

:14:08.:14:11.

Like that. Tres bien.

:14:11.:14:14.

You can stretch it a little bit.

:14:14.:14:17.

But no holes, because the water will log itself inside and your ravioli will be completely ruined.

:14:17.:14:23.

He presses the pasta together without using egg or water to bind.

:14:23.:14:28.

You just... And you push.

:14:28.:14:31.

You're sticking the two ravioli sheets together.

:14:31.:14:34.

Make sure you push the air out. You don't want any air here.

:14:34.:14:39.

Then use an appropriate cutter.

:14:39.:14:45.

With the ravioli assembled, Raymond moves on to make a light sauce, a beurre blanc.

:14:45.:14:51.

To a hot pan of shallots and reduced vinegar he adds water, cold butter...

:14:51.:14:56.

By putting in cold butter you can create an emulsion.

:14:56.:14:59.

..and chopped tomato.

:14:59.:15:03.

So, my water is boiling.

:15:03.:15:06.

Raymond drops the ravioli into boiling water.

:15:06.:15:08.

Four to five minutes depending on their size will cook the eggs perfectly.

:15:09.:15:13.

Oeuf de poule five minutes.

:15:13.:15:15.

The quail eggs, oeuf de caille, four minutes.

:15:15.:15:18.

C'est tellement facile. It's much easier.

:15:18.:15:21.

I think everyone should speak French. That would be much easier!

:15:21.:15:31.

Tres bien, the quail eggs are ready here.

:15:31.:15:36.

To serve, Raymond drizzled the buerre blanc around the ravioli,

:15:36.:15:40.

adds chicken jus and a scattering of sauteed wild mushrooms.

:15:40.:15:44.

Crushed hazelnuts add another layer of taste and texture.

:15:44.:15:49.

And the finishing touch... some deep-fried sage leaves.

:15:49.:15:52.

They're very mild now, very crusty.

:15:52.:15:54.

Really delicious.

:15:55.:15:56.

And the micro herbs.

:15:56.:16:06.
:16:06.:16:07.

Richard, you're going to be my judge now, OK? Well, OK.

:16:07.:16:12.

Look.

:16:12.:16:14.

Oh, my word. Look at that.

:16:14.:16:22.

I will add a bit more Parmesan. Mmm.

:16:22.:16:25.

A bit more hoomph. Do you agree?

:16:25.:16:27.

Yeah, but you still taste it coming through. Yeah. Mm-hm.

:16:27.:16:30.

You taste the egg, spinach, just little bounces of flavour right the way through.

:16:30.:16:35.

Really, really lovely.

:16:35.:16:37.

One out of 10, how much? 11.

:16:37.:16:41.

Best score I've ever had, 11 out of ten.

:16:41.:16:46.

Food

:17:04.:17:04.

Food heaven

:17:04.:17:04.

Food heaven would

:17:04.:17:08.

tastes - pork mince and beef mince, to go with a variety of different

:17:08.:17:13.

things, fresh pasta I know you absolutely love, so a classic

:17:13.:17:17.

Italian ragu with that, then over here we've got some mustard or

:17:17.:17:21.

elements of making our own mustard with some beer, a little bit of

:17:21.:17:27.

beans there to add to the salad and a nice buttery mashed potato to go

:17:27.:17:33.

with it. What do you think these three have decided? It was 3-2 to

:17:33.:17:38.

heaven at home. 3-2 at home. I think they're very nice people. I think

:17:39.:17:44.

they'd probably go for heaven. think so as well. Yes! What we're

:17:44.:17:54.
:17:54.:17:56.

going to do is get the ragu started, so we've got some chopped onion,

:17:56.:18:00.

then we have some celery and carrot. What the guys are going to do - I am

:18:00.:18:02.

going to give them ingredients to make the pasta. We have eggs, flour,

:18:02.:18:08.

salt. Why are they so brown? Organic eggs, organic, free range. You can

:18:08.:18:13.

do it in the blender. That's all right. We place the whole lot in the

:18:13.:18:19.

blender. See how easy it is to make the pasta? You have three chefs. I

:18:19.:18:25.

don't have three chefs. You can take this with you! We'll start the base

:18:25.:18:30.

of the ragu on. What we're going to do is chop the onions first of all

:18:30.:18:38.

and get this started in the sauce pan, then another onion. The flour

:18:38.:18:43.

goes in, egg goes in, a pinch of salt, a little bit of oil possibly.

:18:43.:18:47.

You knew all along I was going to get heaven? I actually didn't know

:18:47.:18:53.

what Michael had chosen. Like-wise. I didn't know what you had chosen.

:18:53.:19:00.

It is always a surprise. I am delighted. We'll throw the oil in -

:19:00.:19:05.

the least amount of oil to get this going, then we go with the onions.

:19:05.:19:10.

As I was stying you, that dish I mentioned with the tomatoes, rather

:19:10.:19:16.

than just go to the supermarket and buy any tinned tomts, look on the

:19:16.:19:19.

back and they'll have the name San Marzano. They come from Naples.

:19:19.:19:25.

These are the famous tomatoes they produce all around Naples that go in

:19:25.:19:32.

the pizza bases. That's tinned San Marzano tomatoes. They look like tin

:19:32.:19:36.

tinned tomatoes but they're a lot sweeter. San Marzano.You can grow

:19:36.:19:40.

them in the UK, not as well as in Italy, but you can grow them in the

:19:40.:19:46.

UK as well. In we go with the garlic. Very good.Get this lot

:19:46.:19:54.

started. What does ragu actually mean? Stew.Stew. Simple, isn't it?

:19:54.:19:57.

Generallitis it can have just tomatoes in it, but traditionally it

:19:57.:20:02.

has a little bit of pork and sometimes bacon or pancetta you can

:20:02.:20:06.

put in there as well, different recipes, but a little bit of

:20:06.:20:11.

sellcry, and we've got some carrots, start that off, and you can see we

:20:11.:20:18.

have our pasta. Have you got a pasta machine? Yeah.To make the pasta?

:20:18.:20:22.

am just going to knead it for a couple of minutes until it's really

:20:22.:20:29.

lovely and smooth. And then you would allow to it rest, say, for

:20:29.:20:32.

about half an hour or an hour to allow the gluten to relax, then roll

:20:33.:20:36.

it out, but you can go ahead and roll it straight away, and that's

:20:36.:20:40.

what you're looking for. It's quite difficult to knead, shouldn't be

:20:40.:20:47.

too... Fresh pasta is - you can't beat it, can you? It's so good.

:20:47.:20:51.

with our ragu, we've got the beef - this is the key to this - don't buy

:20:51.:20:57.

the cheap stuff. You get what you pay for with beef mince. Generally,

:20:57.:21:04.

the cheap cheaper it is, the more fat it has. It all dissolves out of

:21:04.:21:09.

it and you end up with less mince. It's more cost effective to buy good

:21:09.:21:13.

quality stuff so it doesn't break down too much. If we take the beef

:21:13.:21:23.
:21:23.:21:26.

mince, pop that in as well in the pan and the pork . We've got some

:21:26.:21:36.
:21:36.:21:36.

tal tagly telly there. Rolled out onto sheet sheets. We have a machine

:21:36.:21:41.

but you can use a rolling pin for a long time. You should be able to

:21:41.:21:46.

read a newspaper through it. Michael is cutting it here. What can I do?

:21:46.:21:53.

So the camera can see, Michael - there you go, just falls through.

:21:53.:21:58.

Very good. In here we have tomato puree. You need cook it out a little

:21:58.:22:04.

bit. We're browning this meat off. That's the key to that. Is there

:22:04.:22:09.

salt in the water? Not yet. I will put it in in a second. Red wine goes

:22:09.:22:16.

in. Yeah.And then, as I was saying, this is really the key to this -

:22:16.:22:23.

these tinned San Marzano tomatoes . If you just put those tomatoes with

:22:23.:22:27.

garlic, olive oil and basil, bring it to the boil and cook it for about

:22:27.:22:32.

ten minutes, you can put bread in it and serve it as a soup. Sounds

:22:33.:22:39.

delicious. Lid on. I can do that if you want. On we go with the fresh

:22:39.:22:45.

basil, throw that in as well. want to do this? Breaking it up. You

:22:45.:22:50.

can break it up into chunks. It all starts to break down while it's

:22:50.:22:58.

cooking. Yeah.Do you still get time - you love your food, but do you get

:22:58.:23:04.

time to cook at home? You have a tremendous amount to work on.

:23:04.:23:10.

to cook at home, something simple, and of course, the Five Two Diet is

:23:10.:23:13.

very simple. Tell us about this. It's the latest trend, is it?

:23:13.:23:18.

it was on television. It's the latest trend. A lot of people are

:23:18.:23:23.

doing it, and it really loses weight for you. I have lost about 12 pounds

:23:23.:23:31.

in five weeks. Wow.So five days you eat absolutely normally. What you

:23:31.:23:37.

want. Yeah. Then two days... Two days you fast, and I think it's

:23:37.:23:44.

better to try to not have a lunch. You have breakfast and a dinner - a

:23:44.:23:48.

You have breakfast and a dinner - a supper. This can go straight in here

:23:48.:23:55.

now. James, shall I...Yet. We can mix this together. The secret of

:23:55.:24:02.

this is to gently cook it. So lid on. Cook that for a good 45 minutes

:24:02.:24:07.

ideal ideally. Then we can now concentrate on our pasta in a

:24:07.:24:11.

minute, because this one has been cooking, you see? Oh, yes.What

:24:11.:24:17.

we're going to do is finish this off. We've got a little salad

:24:17.:24:22.

Michael is finishing off, a simple green salad. When you buy this, use

:24:22.:24:25.

inside the leaves because the outside can be bitter, the green

:24:25.:24:31.

part, so use the inside which are nice and fresh-tasting. What do you

:24:31.:24:38.

call that? Frizz e. Put a little bit of butter in here - because it's me,

:24:38.:24:46.

and a good pinch of salt. Now, for your pasta - take the pasta, throw

:24:46.:24:52.

that in. With it being fresh pasta, a minute, no more. One minute?Even

:24:52.:24:58.

less than that, yeah. We've got this pan on here. This pan can be used to

:24:58.:25:03.

finish off our sauce, of course, but all you're going to do is literally

:25:03.:25:08.

take this out after a minute, should come to the top, no oil in there,

:25:08.:25:16.

just plenty of salt, take this out, into the pan. Ah.Like that. If you

:25:16.:25:20.

could get me some fresh basil as well, plenty of ripped-up basil,

:25:20.:25:25.

thank you, to put in there at the end, then we can take some of this

:25:25.:25:29.

ragu, which I'll give you now - take this out which has been cooking. See

:25:29.:25:35.

that? That's all reduced down in the sauce. Lovely.What we do is finish

:25:35.:25:42.

this in the pan. So this all sits in here. Mix this together, and the key

:25:42.:25:49.

to this is finishing it off in the pan. You don't put a pile of dry

:25:49.:25:54.

pasta on the plate. Switch it off now. A little bit of basil going in,

:25:54.:26:03.

please, guys. Thank you. Some black pepper. Mmm.Pinch of salt. Go on. A

:26:03.:26:08.

little bit more. A little bit more. That's it. And you've got this -

:26:08.:26:12.

you're actually cooking the sauce with some pasta. That looks

:26:12.:26:20.

wonderful. Come over here. I'll just get - we'll serve a big bowl of it.

:26:20.:26:26.

Why not? A proper portion. That's 500 calories all right! I would be

:26:26.:26:31.

no good on that five minutus two, whatever it is. I would be hopeless.

:26:31.:26:40.

I think on day two I would just have a bar of chocolate, go to sleep - I

:26:40.:26:44.

have had my 600 calories. That would be it really. You know it's true,

:26:44.:26:50.

though. The great thing about the Five Two Diet is the fasting days

:26:50.:26:53.

are quite tough, but you know the next day you can eat. You can have a

:26:53.:26:59.

block of butter, lovely. You can't have alcohol for the two days? No.

:26:59.:27:09.
:27:09.:27:10.

That's a lot of calories, Rachel. Next week... Done this week! Tell us
