0:00:02 > 0:00:06Four of the best chefs in Britain are on the hunt for their perfect partner...

0:00:06 > 0:00:09because for the first time ever,

0:00:09 > 0:00:11amateur home cooks will be paired with the best in the business

0:00:11 > 0:00:14for the cooking experience of a lifetime.

0:00:14 > 0:00:16I'm planning a change of the tactics.

0:00:18 > 0:00:21Each day, an award-winning chef will choose their perfect partner

0:00:21 > 0:00:24from four talented home cooks.

0:00:24 > 0:00:27If you're coming on a cookery show, you just have to up your game.

0:00:27 > 0:00:31Then, in the Friday final, all four pairs will go head-to-head

0:00:31 > 0:00:34to cook for culinary royalty, Pierre Koffmann.

0:00:34 > 0:00:38There's only two type of cooking, bad cooking and good cooking.

0:00:38 > 0:00:42For the professional chefs, their reputations are on the line.

0:00:42 > 0:00:44Bring the home cooks in!

0:00:44 > 0:00:46For the amateur home cooks,

0:00:46 > 0:00:49they're about to be put to the test by the country's finest.

0:00:49 > 0:00:51I think you boys here have to worry.

0:00:51 > 0:00:53But who will win?

0:00:53 > 0:00:55Ooh!

0:00:55 > 0:00:56This is Yes Chef.

0:00:58 > 0:01:00Hello and welcome to Yes Chef.

0:01:00 > 0:01:02Let's meet today's four home cooks.

0:01:02 > 0:01:06First, it's Dina De Silva, an administrator from Cheshire.

0:01:06 > 0:01:09I can cook all different types of food,

0:01:09 > 0:01:11whether it be Spanish, Italian, Thai.

0:01:12 > 0:01:14Right, collect your thoughts a moment.

0:01:14 > 0:01:18I'm quite eclectic in all the different types of food I cook.

0:01:18 > 0:01:23Next, it's Matt Wood, a clinical trials manager from Edinburgh.

0:01:23 > 0:01:25My main strength is timekeeping,

0:01:25 > 0:01:27managing to get everything out at the same time.

0:01:27 > 0:01:30I'm confident, I think I've got a really good chance of winning today.

0:01:30 > 0:01:33If you cook simply with good ingredients, you should be OK.

0:01:33 > 0:01:35Famous last words.

0:01:35 > 0:01:38Adam Neil from London is an equities broker.

0:01:38 > 0:01:40My strength in the kitchen

0:01:40 > 0:01:42is putting together big, bold flavours and dishes.

0:01:42 > 0:01:44Wasted a bit of time, I think,

0:01:44 > 0:01:47bit too much time faffing around at the beginning.

0:01:47 > 0:01:49Very excited to work with a Michelin star chef today,

0:01:49 > 0:01:51once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

0:01:51 > 0:01:56Finally, it's Brian Charleston, a retired RAF engineer from Preston.

0:01:56 > 0:02:00I need everything prepared to hand and in an order.

0:02:00 > 0:02:01CHARLES LAUGHS

0:02:01 > 0:02:03Not too many flusters at the moment.

0:02:03 > 0:02:07If that doesn't happen, things can start going wrong.

0:02:07 > 0:02:08Welcome, everybody.

0:02:08 > 0:02:12So, we have our four home cooks, all we need now is our chef.

0:02:12 > 0:02:17She's held her Michelin star for the past 13 years...

0:02:17 > 0:02:18it's Frances Atkins.

0:02:21 > 0:02:25Frances Atkins is a chef whose food is inspired by her surroundings,

0:02:25 > 0:02:29with her restaurant nestled in the beautiful Yorkshire countryside.

0:02:29 > 0:02:32A lot of people use local produce, I really do.

0:02:32 > 0:02:36Our beef is in the fields over there and the lambs,

0:02:36 > 0:02:38well, we've got tons of them at the moment!

0:02:40 > 0:02:42She began her career as a teenager in Ilkley,

0:02:42 > 0:02:46making cheeses from her parents' cellar and went on to work

0:02:46 > 0:02:50in some of the finest establishments in Denmark, Scotland and London.

0:02:50 > 0:02:51Flavour is everything,

0:02:51 > 0:02:57that is what gives you a sensation and that is what gives you memories.

0:02:57 > 0:02:59In a male-dominated industry,

0:02:59 > 0:03:03Frances is only one of eight female Michelin-starred chefs in the UK

0:03:03 > 0:03:07and knows exactly what it takes to succeed.

0:03:07 > 0:03:11I'm looking for somebody who has an idea about what they're doing

0:03:11 > 0:03:14and somebody who has a bit of imagination.

0:03:18 > 0:03:21It's an absolute pleasure to have you here, Frances.

0:03:21 > 0:03:23The pleasure's all mine.

0:03:23 > 0:03:26Now, our four home cooks are going to be trying their very best to

0:03:26 > 0:03:30impress you, in hope that you pick one of them to be your partner

0:03:30 > 0:03:31in the Friday final.

0:03:31 > 0:03:33What will you be looking for today?

0:03:33 > 0:03:35Presentation, taste,

0:03:35 > 0:03:41a little bit of speed and an understanding of one's ingredients.

0:03:41 > 0:03:44OK. Are you listening?

0:03:44 > 0:03:48So, cooks, you will literally have 45 minutes to prepare the

0:03:48 > 0:03:53one dish that you believe will make you stand out from the rest.

0:03:53 > 0:03:57Make it count, because after this challenge, one of you, sadly,

0:03:57 > 0:03:59will be going home.

0:03:59 > 0:04:01So, Chef, it's over to you.

0:04:01 > 0:04:03Thank you. Are you ready to start?

0:04:03 > 0:04:04ALL: Yes, Chef!

0:04:07 > 0:04:09So, our cooks are off.

0:04:09 > 0:04:13This is their one chance to showcase their best dish.

0:04:13 > 0:04:17It kind of all comes together at the end, which is the challenge of it.

0:04:17 > 0:04:20This is nice beef. This is very nice beef.

0:04:20 > 0:04:23But are they feeling nervous?

0:04:23 > 0:04:25No, not really. Never am, to be honest.

0:04:25 > 0:04:29Hi, Dina. Hi, hi.

0:04:29 > 0:04:32Would you like to tell us what you're making.

0:04:32 > 0:04:34I'm making some Portuguese sausage,

0:04:34 > 0:04:36which is a farinheira with some chorizo.

0:04:36 > 0:04:38I'm going to make some little balls.

0:04:38 > 0:04:40I'm going to do that on a bed of spinach,

0:04:40 > 0:04:44which is done with garlic and nutmeg and served with some apple.

0:04:44 > 0:04:46OK. Lovely. That's super.

0:04:46 > 0:04:48How are you going to bind your balls together?

0:04:48 > 0:04:50Is there sufficient fat in the sausage to do that?

0:04:50 > 0:04:53There is and I'm going to put one egg yolk. Fine.

0:04:53 > 0:04:55Is this something that you make all the time at home?

0:04:55 > 0:04:56This is something that, the farinheira,

0:04:56 > 0:04:59whenever I go to Portugal and whenever I can get hold of it here -

0:04:59 > 0:05:01it's not easy to get hold of - then I'll cook it.

0:05:01 > 0:05:04Well, we'll let you get on. But very good luck.

0:05:04 > 0:05:08It smells delicious. It does, it does. Thank you.

0:05:14 > 0:05:16Hi, Matt. Hi. Hi, Matt.

0:05:16 > 0:05:18Hi, Frances. How are you getting on? Good, thanks.

0:05:18 > 0:05:21Yeah, getting started, getting there. OK.

0:05:21 > 0:05:23What are you making for us?

0:05:23 > 0:05:28I'm making a spiced halibut with saag aloo and a lime emulsion.

0:05:28 > 0:05:31Ooh. Mm, sounds lovely.

0:05:31 > 0:05:33And how are your nerves? Have you settled down now

0:05:33 > 0:05:35you're into the cooking? They're getting better now that I'm

0:05:35 > 0:05:38getting into it I think. We'll be looking forward

0:05:38 > 0:05:40to seeing the end result. Good, thank you.

0:05:42 > 0:05:47Hello, Adam. Hi there, Sheree. How are you? Good.

0:05:47 > 0:05:50How are you getting on here? Not too bad.

0:05:50 > 0:05:54We've started frying off the onions, garlic, chorizo, lardons.

0:05:54 > 0:05:55What are you making?

0:05:55 > 0:05:58Sorry, my take on a paella with a fried sea bass.

0:05:58 > 0:06:01Right, OK. And are you OK for time?

0:06:01 > 0:06:03Or are you pushed for time? No, we're pretty pushed on time

0:06:03 > 0:06:05at the moment to be honest. You've got your pan nice

0:06:05 > 0:06:07and hot ready for your chorizo. Yeah, exactly.

0:06:07 > 0:06:09So that's not too bad. That'll save you some time.

0:06:09 > 0:06:12So, in other words, would you like us to move away?

0:06:12 > 0:06:15We'll leave you to it. Thank you very much. Thanks a lot.

0:06:15 > 0:06:17Good luck.

0:06:18 > 0:06:22Just preparing the squid and the prawns and then we'll put them in

0:06:22 > 0:06:25the paella towards the end and stir them through.

0:06:28 > 0:06:31Hi, Brian. Hiya. How are we getting on?

0:06:31 > 0:06:34This looks lovely. What are you doing? I'm doing beef stroganoff.

0:06:34 > 0:06:37Oh, right. Hopefully, it'll turn out all right.

0:06:37 > 0:06:40So, is this a family favourite?

0:06:40 > 0:06:43It's something that I do two or three times a year.

0:06:43 > 0:06:45So, you've got your rice going.

0:06:45 > 0:06:47You seem to be really well organised.

0:06:47 > 0:06:50Yeah, I've now just got to colour the beef and I'll take it

0:06:50 > 0:06:53back out again and then I'll start doing the veg.

0:06:53 > 0:06:56Yeah. Oh, brilliant. Well, I can't wait to taste.

0:06:56 > 0:06:57That'll be lovely. Thank you.

0:07:06 > 0:07:09OK, so we've had a look at everybody's ingredients -

0:07:09 > 0:07:12whose dish at the minute excites you the most?

0:07:12 > 0:07:14I think Matt's dish. OK.

0:07:14 > 0:07:16I think he's looking pretty cool.

0:07:16 > 0:07:18He's a little bit nervous.

0:07:18 > 0:07:20He's got some nice ingredients there -

0:07:20 > 0:07:22a bit of coconut, a bit of lime.

0:07:22 > 0:07:26It looks, to me, interesting. Yeah, OK.

0:07:26 > 0:07:28What about Dina?

0:07:28 > 0:07:33I think the conception is nice, but the actual work that's gone into it

0:07:33 > 0:07:39isn't so much, but it might produce the most phenomenal results.

0:07:39 > 0:07:41So, shall we see? OK. Yeah, yeah, OK.

0:07:41 > 0:07:43Now, who worries you slightly?

0:07:43 > 0:07:45Brian. Why?

0:07:45 > 0:07:47I'm really very worried for him.

0:07:49 > 0:07:50Why, why? Tell me.

0:07:50 > 0:07:56Well, he seems to be cooking it the way that I perhaps would do it,

0:07:56 > 0:07:57in reverse.

0:07:57 > 0:08:01Maybe cook the onions first and then cook the meat in with the onions.

0:08:01 > 0:08:04He's got some vegetables, but he just seems to have onions.

0:08:04 > 0:08:07Nothing else. No.

0:08:07 > 0:08:12This is the crucial part now, it's the starting of the sauce, that's

0:08:12 > 0:08:14the key ingredient of the dish, I believe.

0:08:14 > 0:08:18And what about Adam, the paella? He's got a lot of ingredients there.

0:08:18 > 0:08:20It's got a lot going on. Hmm.

0:08:20 > 0:08:23I'm just worried slightly about all his flavours.

0:08:23 > 0:08:27It's got the squid, it's got sea bass, it's got chicken.

0:08:27 > 0:08:30Yeah, it'll be interesting to see how he pulls it all together. It will.

0:08:36 > 0:08:40Just add some creme fraiche.

0:08:40 > 0:08:43Just to give it the effect.

0:08:43 > 0:08:45As time ticks on, our cooks are feeling the pressure.

0:08:47 > 0:08:50Just need to check that my apple is cooked,

0:08:50 > 0:08:52and then I can put it through the sieve.

0:08:57 > 0:09:00And that, I think, is me about done.

0:09:00 > 0:09:04Brian is first to plate up, way ahead of everyone else.

0:09:04 > 0:09:06How does it feel that Brian's done?

0:09:06 > 0:09:08Probably a bit more nerve-racking for me, isn't it?

0:09:08 > 0:09:11So, I know you've finished. But is there anything you'd like to do?

0:09:11 > 0:09:16The one thing I would change would be the presentation. Do it.

0:09:16 > 0:09:19Whilst Brian pretties up his dish,

0:09:19 > 0:09:22Dina gets frustrated by her Portuguese balls.

0:09:22 > 0:09:24Oh, come on!

0:09:24 > 0:09:27I need to get these frying. They're not quite hot enough.

0:09:27 > 0:09:29Sea bass in skin down now.

0:09:33 > 0:09:36Love the colour. Yes, I'm pleased with that. Yeah. It's gone well.

0:09:36 > 0:09:40And these balls look really yummy.

0:09:40 > 0:09:44And with only 30 seconds to go, Adam fills up his foamer.

0:09:44 > 0:09:46It's only the second time I've ever used it.

0:09:48 > 0:09:49Oh!

0:09:51 > 0:09:52I think I'll go without that.

0:09:52 > 0:09:55'Adam's foam appears to be lacking a bit of froth,

0:09:55 > 0:09:57'but time is running out.'

0:09:58 > 0:10:01Ten, nine,

0:10:01 > 0:10:04eight, seven,

0:10:04 > 0:10:07six, five,

0:10:07 > 0:10:09four, three,

0:10:09 > 0:10:13two, one.

0:10:13 > 0:10:16Stop cooking! Step away from your plates. Well done.

0:10:20 > 0:10:23First to be judged is Dina with her dish of the day,

0:10:23 > 0:10:26Portuguese farinheira balls on a bed of spinach,

0:10:26 > 0:10:28with garlic, nutmeg and sherry vinegar,

0:10:28 > 0:10:31accompanied with a poached egg and an apple sauce.

0:10:35 > 0:10:37Well done. Such a relief that you've done it.

0:10:37 > 0:10:39A huge relief. A huge relief, yeah.

0:10:39 > 0:10:4245 minutes goes like that. Yeah. It's not long,

0:10:42 > 0:10:45Well, let's try it. Lovely.

0:11:01 > 0:11:05Mm! Well...

0:11:05 > 0:11:08the balance is good.

0:11:09 > 0:11:12Very, very tasty, I can taste all that lovely, smoky sausage.

0:11:12 > 0:11:18Hm. I'm not quite sure if we need so much apple but, no, delicious.

0:11:18 > 0:11:21'The tasting was pretty stressful.'

0:11:21 > 0:11:23I'm still a little bit confused as to whether they liked it or not,

0:11:23 > 0:11:25so we'll wait and see.

0:11:25 > 0:11:27The taste was good but I'm not sure I could eat

0:11:27 > 0:11:32a plate of those balls, really. No, because they were quite thick.

0:11:32 > 0:11:35I don't know if that makes sense. Yes, it does, yes.

0:11:35 > 0:11:39Well, if she'd put her egg white in, maybe whisked that up

0:11:39 > 0:11:41and then bound the meat through the egg white. That's...

0:11:41 > 0:11:46It would have been... A bit lighter. ..much lighter. OK.

0:11:46 > 0:11:50Next is Matt with his dish of the day, spiced halibut fillet

0:11:50 > 0:11:53coated in Parmesan, served with saag aloo and lime emulsion.

0:11:55 > 0:11:57Did you enjoy that, Matt?

0:11:57 > 0:12:00I'm not sure that enjoy is the right word, but it was good. It was good?

0:12:00 > 0:12:04Yes. I like your detail. That's good. Good.

0:12:04 > 0:12:06That's nice, isn't it? Yes.

0:12:06 > 0:12:09OK, shall we taste? Yes, gosh.

0:12:11 > 0:12:14Let's see how he's cooked, how we've cooked this fish.

0:12:16 > 0:12:20Lovely, well done, you've not overly cooked.

0:12:27 > 0:12:30You can taste the lime in that, can't you? Hm.

0:12:30 > 0:12:32Nicely seasoned. Good.

0:12:32 > 0:12:35Well done. Brilliant. Thank you very much. Well done.

0:12:35 > 0:12:38The tasting was nerve-racking. It seemed to go quite well.

0:12:38 > 0:12:40I think Frances liked most of the things I'd put on the plate,

0:12:40 > 0:12:43but it was hard to tell, she didn't give a lot away.

0:12:43 > 0:12:49When I ate the top part of the fish, I thought, "Oh, no, it's so strong."

0:12:49 > 0:12:54Yeah. "And I don't really like this Parmesan business either."

0:12:54 > 0:12:56And I thought, "He's wrecked that halibut."

0:12:56 > 0:13:01But then, when I took some of that lime, it cleared it all out,

0:13:01 > 0:13:03if you like. Yeah.

0:13:03 > 0:13:06Time for Adam with his dish of the day, of paella with pan-fried

0:13:06 > 0:13:10sea bass, squid and chicken thighs, with a saffron foam.

0:13:13 > 0:13:17That's done with, Adam, are you happy? Pleased with your result?

0:13:17 > 0:13:19Some elements of it.

0:13:19 > 0:13:21The paella could be slightly too seasoned,

0:13:21 > 0:13:23and the foam is more of a sauce.

0:13:23 > 0:13:27You did have a bit of an explosion. Yeah, we did.

0:13:27 > 0:13:31Well, the colours are lovely. Aren't they? Yeah, they are, really lovely.

0:13:31 > 0:13:34OK, should we tuck in? Nice presentation... Yeah.

0:13:52 > 0:13:55I wouldn't worry about the paella being too over seasoned.

0:13:55 > 0:13:59I don't think it's over seasoned, do you? No.

0:13:59 > 0:14:05I think we've got a huge amount of goodies in it, haven't we? Yes.

0:14:05 > 0:14:08Filled with goodies.

0:14:08 > 0:14:12And your bass tastes very, very nice indeed.

0:14:12 > 0:14:16Thank you. So, congratulations. Thank you very much.

0:14:16 > 0:14:17'Dig in.'

0:14:19 > 0:14:22The squid might be a bit overdone as well.

0:14:22 > 0:14:27There's a lot of things in that, it's very hearty.

0:14:27 > 0:14:29Was it like a bush tucker trial where you couldn't get the...?

0:14:29 > 0:14:31Yes, it was, I'm afraid.

0:14:31 > 0:14:34I thought, "Perhaps I'm on I'm A Celebrity," but, yes...

0:14:34 > 0:14:36THEY LAUGH

0:14:36 > 0:14:38Enormous... Needed a little finer chopping,

0:14:38 > 0:14:40it was just too big for my mouth.

0:14:40 > 0:14:42OK. Teach me not to be greedy.

0:14:42 > 0:14:43THEY LAUGH

0:14:43 > 0:14:46And finally, it's Brian with his dish of the day,

0:14:46 > 0:14:51of beef stroganoff with mushrooms, onion, shallots and Italian herbs.

0:14:54 > 0:14:57Now, did you enjoy doing that, Brian? That's the main thing.

0:14:57 > 0:15:00I really did. That was a real experience.

0:15:00 > 0:15:05So we've got lots of love in that. I think so, I think so. That's great.

0:15:05 > 0:15:06OK, well, let's try it.

0:15:16 > 0:15:17Mmm.

0:15:19 > 0:15:20Well...

0:15:22 > 0:15:24Hmm.

0:15:24 > 0:15:28I think I would have liked to have had the rice a little more seasoned.

0:15:28 > 0:15:30Did you put salt in your rice?

0:15:30 > 0:15:35Not salt, I've got pepper in there but, no, not salt.

0:15:35 > 0:15:38And the meat is very tasty.

0:15:39 > 0:15:43We've got a little bit of scent of the basil coming through.

0:15:43 > 0:15:45It's all good. Nice comments. Are you happy with those?

0:15:45 > 0:15:48Yes, fine, thank you very much.

0:15:48 > 0:15:51Yeah, that was good. Stressful.

0:15:51 > 0:15:55They certainly know what they were looking for. Yeah.

0:15:55 > 0:15:59Did he surprise you in the end?

0:15:59 > 0:16:03Um, it depends how you'd define surprise.

0:16:03 > 0:16:07I think Brian's dish is a great family dish. Yeah.

0:16:07 > 0:16:12Maybe if you're coming on a cookery show like this,

0:16:12 > 0:16:15maybe you just have to... Up your game. ..up your game just a bit.

0:16:17 > 0:16:20Only three people can be taken through to the next round.

0:16:20 > 0:16:24For one of our home cooks, it's time to leave the competition.

0:16:24 > 0:16:27I'd really love to go through to the next round and have

0:16:27 > 0:16:30a chance to cook with Frances. I think that would be fantastic.

0:16:30 > 0:16:33I don't know if I've done enough to get through.

0:16:33 > 0:16:36I think I put a good dish out, I was happy with it, but everything else

0:16:36 > 0:16:39that came back was really tasty, so we'll just have to wait and see.

0:16:40 > 0:16:45I'd love to go through, spend more time here, great fun. So we'll see.

0:16:47 > 0:16:50All three of the other dishes are as good as mine.

0:16:50 > 0:16:53I wouldn't like to be a judge either.

0:16:53 > 0:16:55It must be a difficult choice for them.

0:16:55 > 0:17:00So, obviously you have to decide now who you're going to be sending home.

0:17:00 > 0:17:03Have you got an idea of who that cook might be?

0:17:03 > 0:17:07I think I do, unfortunately, yes. OK. Well, let's go break the news.

0:17:07 > 0:17:08OK.

0:17:10 > 0:17:14First, I'd like to say a big well done to all of you.

0:17:14 > 0:17:17But unfortunately someone has to go home at this stage.

0:17:17 > 0:17:21And Frances has made her decision, so...

0:17:21 > 0:17:22over to you.

0:17:22 > 0:17:26Well, this is the awful bit, but it's a competition...

0:17:27 > 0:17:31..so one of you has to go.

0:17:31 > 0:17:33And I think it will have to be

0:17:33 > 0:17:36Brian. Oh, well done, Brian.

0:17:39 > 0:17:42I do recognise that mine wasn't a complex dish, and there were

0:17:42 > 0:17:46some very complex and extremely good dishes with the other contestants.

0:17:48 > 0:17:51Have to do something different next time.

0:17:51 > 0:17:53So, that leaves three home cooks.

0:17:53 > 0:17:56They are Dina from Cheshire, Adam from London

0:17:56 > 0:17:58and Matt from Edinburgh.

0:18:00 > 0:18:02Round two, it's the chef's challenge.

0:18:02 > 0:18:04Now in this challenge, Frances has devised

0:18:04 > 0:18:09a simple test to see who has the skills she's looking for.

0:18:09 > 0:18:12So, Frances, what's today's challenge?

0:18:12 > 0:18:18We are going to make a simple vinaigrette dressing. Oh. OK.

0:18:18 > 0:18:22I'm going to demonstrate how to make it and then you will choose

0:18:22 > 0:18:26what quantities that you put in this vinaigrette dressing,

0:18:26 > 0:18:30because it's the taste that I'm interested in. OK.

0:18:30 > 0:18:32So, I'm just going to take...

0:18:33 > 0:18:37I'm going to use a little bit of this, English mustard.

0:18:37 > 0:18:40I'm going to put a little bit of this in, powdered mustard,

0:18:40 > 0:18:44just to accentuate that vinegar.

0:18:44 > 0:18:45Put a bit in there.

0:18:47 > 0:18:52A little bit of honey for sweetness, it relieves the vinegar.

0:18:52 > 0:18:57I get very tired of balsamic vinegar chucked over everything these days.

0:18:57 > 0:19:00And it's too heavy.

0:19:00 > 0:19:02Just put a bit of oil in.

0:19:02 > 0:19:06Two thirds oil to your third mix.

0:19:06 > 0:19:08Don't worry about feeding the oil in.

0:19:08 > 0:19:11If you put these dressings and things in a blender,

0:19:11 > 0:19:16they come out too thick, so the best way is just to pour it in,

0:19:16 > 0:19:19give it a quick whizz around. OK?

0:19:22 > 0:19:24I'm just going to...

0:19:24 > 0:19:26See, that's pretty nice.

0:19:26 > 0:19:30That's the oil, let's pop a bit of the dressing in here.

0:19:30 > 0:19:35I'm going to pick out a few leaves here now. Get a nice few.

0:19:35 > 0:19:39There's nothing nicer than basil leaf.

0:19:39 > 0:19:43A bit of marjoram, watercress, nice peppery taste.

0:19:43 > 0:19:48It's packed with iron and it is so good for you.

0:19:48 > 0:19:51Just break these off.

0:19:51 > 0:19:54I want the red bits, really, rather than...

0:19:54 > 0:19:57And you've got a bit of instant colour there.

0:19:57 > 0:20:00So I've used all those leaves, you don't have to.

0:20:01 > 0:20:04Just pop that on there for the moment.

0:20:06 > 0:20:08So, I'm just going to take a bit of this.

0:20:10 > 0:20:13And that's about as much as I'm going to pop in a bowl now.

0:20:16 > 0:20:21And then all I'm doing is I'm wiping the leaves,

0:20:21 > 0:20:25and that's why it needs to be fairly strong. It's just being wiped.

0:20:26 > 0:20:31And then, as we say in a kitchen, then just build your leaf.

0:20:31 > 0:20:34So, simple but clean.

0:20:34 > 0:20:37And appetising.

0:20:37 > 0:20:39Would you like to taste...?

0:20:39 > 0:20:43Can they have a little taste? Gosh, yes. Just to see what Frances has made.

0:20:43 > 0:20:46And what she's looking for. It's very light. Yeah.

0:20:46 > 0:20:49It's smooth, and just a bit of a tang from the vinegar.

0:20:49 > 0:20:51You haven't got that... It's not very acidic,

0:20:51 > 0:20:54you've taken that acidity away. Yeah. Yeah.

0:20:54 > 0:20:58Let's see who is going to make the best job out of it, then. OK?

0:20:58 > 0:20:59ALL: Yes, Chef!

0:21:01 > 0:21:05Our cooks have ten minutes to make the perfect salad dressing.

0:21:06 > 0:21:10I don't eat huge amounts of salads, so dressings obviously,

0:21:10 > 0:21:12um, I don't make a hell of a lot of them.

0:21:14 > 0:21:18I do make dressing, but I don't tend to do it the way Frances

0:21:18 > 0:21:20has just shown us.

0:21:20 > 0:21:23The cooks can choose which mustards and which vinegars to include,

0:21:23 > 0:21:26and make a dressing to their own taste.

0:21:28 > 0:21:31What's really interesting is everybody seems to be using

0:21:31 > 0:21:32the grain mustard.

0:21:35 > 0:21:37Rather than following instruction,

0:21:37 > 0:21:41Frances is more interested in the cooks' own creativity and flair.

0:21:43 > 0:21:46Keep tasting and then you'll get your right balance.

0:21:51 > 0:21:55I'm uncertain now. Don't be uncertain, just be sure.

0:21:55 > 0:21:57Do you like it? Yeah. It's great.

0:21:59 > 0:22:03Just trying to get these flavours balanced, that's the hardest bit.

0:22:03 > 0:22:05So how do you think they are getting on?

0:22:05 > 0:22:10Well, nobody has used the balsamic, and it is eight-year-old.

0:22:10 > 0:22:12I mean, it's lovely.

0:22:12 > 0:22:16I think it's because I said I hate balsamic just thrown over...

0:22:16 > 0:22:20I think you've frightened them off the balsamic, to be honest. I know.

0:22:20 > 0:22:22Oh, dear, me. It's a shame, isn't it?

0:22:22 > 0:22:25They've all used the grain mustard because they think that will

0:22:25 > 0:22:31look nice. And one of them, I think, is putting some herbs through.

0:22:31 > 0:22:34But it'll be interesting to see what leaves she uses because she's

0:22:34 > 0:22:38put the herbs in the dressing. Right, OK.

0:22:38 > 0:22:41Well, I'll leave you to have another quick look. Yes.

0:22:41 > 0:22:44Pile on the pressure. Oh, I don't want to do that.

0:22:44 > 0:22:46She's too nice. Too nice.

0:22:52 > 0:22:55Trying to get a few different sizes on the leaves.

0:22:55 > 0:22:59Frances wants the leaves to be wiped, not drowned.

0:22:59 > 0:23:01Too much dressing and the leaves will lose their bounce.

0:23:01 > 0:23:04Too little and the flavour is lost.

0:23:05 > 0:23:10Cooks, you have just two minutes left. Two minutes to go.

0:23:14 > 0:23:18I think it's getting there. This is the best dressing I've made.

0:23:18 > 0:23:21'And in the final minutes, it's time to build the leaf.

0:23:21 > 0:23:25'The lighter the leaf, the taller the build.'

0:23:25 > 0:23:27Right, guys, time is up.

0:23:27 > 0:23:31Stop what you're doing and step away from your plates.

0:23:31 > 0:23:32Your time is up.

0:23:34 > 0:23:38Well, these all look lovely. They do, don't they?

0:23:38 > 0:23:40Well, I think it's time to taste.

0:23:47 > 0:23:51That was a fantastic challenge, Frances. Good. Let's start.

0:24:13 > 0:24:15INDISTINCT

0:24:15 > 0:24:17THEY CHUCKLE

0:24:19 > 0:24:21SHE LAUGHS

0:24:24 > 0:24:25OK? Mm-hm.

0:24:41 > 0:24:45Well...I think they're all different, interestingly enough.

0:24:45 > 0:24:49They're all different in taste.

0:24:49 > 0:24:53So this one has the edge. Well done.

0:24:53 > 0:24:57Thanks. You're through to the next round, very well done. Thank you.

0:25:00 > 0:25:05This, this salad here is overdressed.

0:25:05 > 0:25:08But the taste is excellent.

0:25:09 > 0:25:13This is slightly,

0:25:13 > 0:25:17not such a strong taste, a more oily taste.

0:25:17 > 0:25:19Although it's better dressed. I'm going to choose,

0:25:19 > 0:25:23I'm going to take that one. Aw!

0:25:23 > 0:25:26I'd have much preferred to stay in, go through to Friday,

0:25:26 > 0:25:28but unfortunately didn't.

0:25:28 > 0:25:32The two others were great as well, so it's fine.

0:25:32 > 0:25:34To go out on a salad, I'm happy.

0:25:34 > 0:25:36THEY LAUGH

0:25:36 > 0:25:38So, that leaves just two cooks.

0:25:38 > 0:25:41They are administrator Dina, and clinical trials manager Matt.

0:25:41 > 0:25:46But only one can be Frances' partner in the Friday final.

0:25:46 > 0:25:50OK, so this is our third and final round, the chef's special.

0:25:50 > 0:25:52In this challenge, our cooks will be given

0:25:52 > 0:25:56a set of ingredients to one of Frances' signature dishes.

0:25:56 > 0:25:59So, cooks, the aim of this challenge is for you to create

0:25:59 > 0:26:01a dish from the same set of ingredients.

0:26:01 > 0:26:05You'll get to find out what Frances makes a little bit later on.

0:26:05 > 0:26:08But for you at home, here's today's ingredients.

0:26:08 > 0:26:11Frances has chosen filleted brill,

0:26:11 > 0:26:12large langoustines,

0:26:12 > 0:26:15nettle heads, black garlic,

0:26:15 > 0:26:19squid ink, white wine, wild garlic,

0:26:19 > 0:26:23Pernod, fresh peas, wild leeks,

0:26:23 > 0:26:25a shallot, a fennel bulb,

0:26:25 > 0:26:28chicken stock and double cream.

0:26:28 > 0:26:31Simple enough for the queen of the kitchen,

0:26:31 > 0:26:32but what will our home cooks make?

0:26:34 > 0:26:37OK, cooks, you have one hour to create a fabulous dish.

0:26:38 > 0:26:42Reveal your ingredients, because your time starts now.

0:26:47 > 0:26:49So, our cooks are off.

0:26:49 > 0:26:51This is the first time they've seen these ingredients.

0:26:51 > 0:26:54And while Dina gets tasting...

0:26:54 > 0:26:56Wine. ..Matt gets sniffing.

0:26:56 > 0:26:58Quite an array of ingredients.

0:27:00 > 0:27:02Just got to think of something to do with it.

0:27:03 > 0:27:07Dina quickly formulates a plan.

0:27:07 > 0:27:09Right, OK. I'm getting there.

0:27:11 > 0:27:13Let's start.

0:27:17 > 0:27:18Hi, Dina. Hi.

0:27:20 > 0:27:24How are we getting on? I'm going to fry off the shallot.

0:27:24 > 0:27:28I'm going to put all the heads and the shells of the langoustines in.

0:27:28 > 0:27:32Good girl. I'm going to put some Pernod into that.

0:27:32 > 0:27:36And then kind of make, maybe put some cream through that as well.

0:27:36 > 0:27:39And then I'm going to use some of the wild garlic and make a sauce.

0:27:39 > 0:27:41Then I'm going to pan fry your plaice.

0:27:41 > 0:27:44I think it's plaice, or is it sole? I don't know. Plaice.

0:27:44 > 0:27:46SHEREE LAUGHS

0:27:46 > 0:27:49Take some of the peas out as well and put that into the sauce.

0:27:49 > 0:27:53And I'll let you know. And make a little fennel salad as well. Nice.

0:27:53 > 0:27:56Nice. That sounds lovely, I think I'll come to your house for tea tonight.

0:27:56 > 0:27:59Yeah, it does sound nice.

0:27:59 > 0:28:02'Meanwhile, Matt's busy investigating his nettle leaves.'

0:28:06 > 0:28:09How are we getting on here? Not too bad.

0:28:09 > 0:28:13I think I've got the beginnings of a plan. Oh, OK. Very good.

0:28:13 > 0:28:19I'm going to make a kind of cream sauce with peas, the shallots,

0:28:19 > 0:28:21the wine, bit of the stock.

0:28:21 > 0:28:24And then I'm going to grill the fish,

0:28:24 > 0:28:28I'll poach the langoustines.

0:28:28 > 0:28:32And then I'm going to think of something to do with the greenery.

0:28:32 > 0:28:36So I'm ignoring the squid ink. Are you? Does it frighten you?

0:28:36 > 0:28:40Yeah, it does. It does. What do you think about the nettles?

0:28:40 > 0:28:43I thought I'd taste them... Is your tongue sparkling?

0:28:43 > 0:28:46No, I tested it on my finger to make sure it wasn't going to sting

0:28:46 > 0:28:49me first. Oh, fine, well done. And then I thought I'd try it.

0:28:49 > 0:28:52I thought I might have to come over and squirt water down...

0:28:52 > 0:28:55THEY LAUGH

0:28:55 > 0:28:58Happy cooking. Good luck. Yes, happy cooking. Thanks.

0:29:00 > 0:29:03Not easy peeling langoustines.

0:29:05 > 0:29:07I'm sure there's an easier way.

0:29:09 > 0:29:14I think I may have made a mistake by forgetting to take the skin off.

0:29:14 > 0:29:18But, you know, I've started it now, so... Just need to finish this off.

0:29:18 > 0:29:21I'm not really sure what I'm doing with it, to be honest.

0:29:23 > 0:29:27At the moment, Dina's dish is looking favourite.

0:29:27 > 0:29:32Because I was very impressed, the way she's suddenly started using

0:29:32 > 0:29:35the langoustine heads and claws.

0:29:35 > 0:29:39And she's obviously going to make a good shellfish sauce. Yeah.

0:29:40 > 0:29:43Matthew, I think I'm a bit concerned about him,

0:29:43 > 0:29:46what he's going to do at the moment. OK.

0:29:46 > 0:29:51I hope he's going to make the most of his ingredients. Yeah.

0:29:51 > 0:29:52If I'm not sure what to do with them,

0:29:52 > 0:29:54I'm better to leave them out than make a mess of it.

0:29:54 > 0:29:56I'll stick with what I know.

0:29:56 > 0:30:02The interesting thing is, Sheree, my opinion is changing.

0:30:02 > 0:30:04Oh, wow.

0:30:05 > 0:30:07And I would never, ever have thought that.

0:30:07 > 0:30:10OK. But it's not over yet. No.

0:30:10 > 0:30:11We'll see when we taste. Yes!

0:30:15 > 0:30:18On a closer inspection of her greens, Dina decides to make

0:30:18 > 0:30:22a stuffing which, in turn, alters the way she'll cook her fish.

0:30:24 > 0:30:27This is my change of plan - not pan frying, I'm steaming.

0:30:32 > 0:30:35Meanwhile, still uncertain about his ingredients,

0:30:35 > 0:30:37Matt's beginning to look a bit lost.

0:30:39 > 0:30:42It's all going to happen at the end, that's the plan.

0:30:43 > 0:30:47Right, guys, you've got 15 minutes to go.

0:30:47 > 0:30:49Only 15 minutes left.

0:31:12 > 0:31:13I'm done.

0:31:25 > 0:31:27Right, just two minutes left.

0:31:29 > 0:31:33I know you've finished, but two minutes left, Matt.

0:31:36 > 0:31:40I'm done. Aw, he's done.

0:31:40 > 0:31:42Now it's time to taste.

0:31:42 > 0:31:43First, it's Dina.

0:31:43 > 0:31:47She's made steamed brill, stuffed with nettles, spring onions,

0:31:47 > 0:31:50black garlic and thyme - accompanied with fennel,

0:31:50 > 0:31:53fresh peas and a langoustine sauce.

0:31:54 > 0:31:56There you go. Lovely.

0:31:56 > 0:31:57That was a real challenge.

0:31:57 > 0:32:01Because there were ingredients there that I wasn't sure of.

0:32:01 > 0:32:06I certainly didn't know how well I'd put those into a dish. So, yeah.

0:32:06 > 0:32:08OK, shall we taste? Why not?

0:32:16 > 0:32:17So...

0:32:19 > 0:32:22You pushed all those flavours together? Mmm.

0:32:28 > 0:32:31I've got a lot of flavours here, that's the only thing.

0:32:31 > 0:32:34There's nothing coming through, it's...

0:32:34 > 0:32:36all one big flavour, isn't it? Mmm.

0:32:40 > 0:32:44You've produced a very tasty dish.

0:32:44 > 0:32:47You should be very pleased with yourself for making that, well done.

0:32:47 > 0:32:49OK, thank you very much.

0:32:51 > 0:32:53I think they liked the langoustine and the fish,

0:32:53 > 0:32:58and she liked the fennel salad, so it was...

0:32:58 > 0:33:01nerve-racking...

0:33:01 > 0:33:02but positive.

0:33:02 > 0:33:05And finally into the tasting room is Matt.

0:33:05 > 0:33:09He's made grilled brill with fennel and langoustines,

0:33:09 > 0:33:11accompanied with fresh peas and a cream sauce.

0:33:15 > 0:33:18Wonderful. How did you find that challenge?

0:33:18 > 0:33:22It was difficult, very difficult, I think.

0:33:22 > 0:33:26Some unusual ingredients, some things I wasn't quite sure about.

0:33:26 > 0:33:28So, did you identify the fish?

0:33:28 > 0:33:31I thought it was plaice, but I wasn't sure.

0:33:31 > 0:33:36Well, plaice has a definite taste, so it certainly wasn't plaice. OK.

0:33:36 > 0:33:43It was brill. Right. It was baby brill, which is a lovely fish.

0:33:43 > 0:33:46OK, shall we taste? Yes. Lovely.

0:34:11 > 0:34:16Well, you might not know your fish, but you cook it very well.

0:34:16 > 0:34:17Thank you.

0:34:19 > 0:34:22And you know what,

0:34:22 > 0:34:26if you had put a little black garlic in that sauce...

0:34:26 > 0:34:27Yep.

0:34:27 > 0:34:30..you would have given it just that little bit of...

0:34:31 > 0:34:34Yeah, just that risk I should have taken. Yeah.

0:34:34 > 0:34:40You could have taken a bit of your stock and mixed up your squid ink.

0:34:40 > 0:34:44Mm-hm. And you could have just dragged it around your plate.

0:34:44 > 0:34:48And with that lovely yellow sauce and that, it could have been a wow.

0:34:48 > 0:34:51Mm-hm. Thank you.

0:34:51 > 0:34:53I regret not taking a bit more of a risk.

0:34:53 > 0:34:56I think, looking back, it's easy with hindsight, I think,

0:34:56 > 0:34:59under pressure, and I really wasn't sure what to do with them.

0:34:59 > 0:35:02So I'll know for next time, if I cook that again.

0:35:02 > 0:35:05So with the final challenge complete,

0:35:05 > 0:35:09it's just left for Frances to decide which of our two home cooks

0:35:09 > 0:35:12will return as her partner for the Friday final.

0:35:12 > 0:35:15I was very happy with it, considering that she had

0:35:15 > 0:35:17no idea about what she was going to do.

0:35:17 > 0:35:21And she changed halfway through, so she's thinking all the time.

0:35:21 > 0:35:23He's got a good palate, an exciting one.

0:35:23 > 0:35:27Could've been near perfection if he'd just added those few touches.

0:35:27 > 0:35:31Yeah. And that's because he's erring on the side of caution,

0:35:31 > 0:35:35which we all do when we have an audience. Yep.

0:35:35 > 0:35:38Have you got a bit of an idea about who you'd like to be your partner?

0:35:38 > 0:35:43I think, gathering up what I've seen today, yes,

0:35:43 > 0:35:46I think I've made my decision.

0:35:46 > 0:35:48But before Frances announces the winner,

0:35:48 > 0:35:53it's time to reveal what she makes with those ingredients.

0:35:53 > 0:35:57So, just to get going on this, I've got a pan that's heating away.

0:35:57 > 0:36:01And I'm just going to stick these in here.

0:36:01 > 0:36:03There's no oil in there, that's just a hot pan.

0:36:03 > 0:36:07I've got gloves on because these langoustine shells

0:36:07 > 0:36:10can stick into your hands quite badly. OK.

0:36:10 > 0:36:16I'm just going to nip these tops off the fennel. There we go.

0:36:18 > 0:36:23And basically, just making a stock with things that I'm going to...

0:36:23 > 0:36:24Stick that in here, like that.

0:36:28 > 0:36:31So I'm just... Don't need all these nettles, obviously.

0:36:31 > 0:36:33I'm just literally blanching them.

0:36:33 > 0:36:36Just taking the sting out, if you like.

0:36:36 > 0:36:38These are the little roots,

0:36:38 > 0:36:44I'm going to semi-pickle these in white balsamic.

0:36:44 > 0:36:46A few of your garlic leaves.

0:36:49 > 0:36:50So...

0:36:50 > 0:36:52There.

0:36:52 > 0:36:56Now, just take the skin off the fish.

0:36:57 > 0:37:01Just chop the langoustine up.

0:37:01 > 0:37:04Just spread this along the bottom.

0:37:04 > 0:37:08Put in here the unblanched, but washed, nettles.

0:37:08 > 0:37:10And just pop that over, like that.

0:37:11 > 0:37:14Another little on top.

0:37:20 > 0:37:22And again, nip off the top.

0:37:22 > 0:37:25And slice this down.

0:37:25 > 0:37:27Just take a little nip.

0:37:29 > 0:37:30Pop this in the bottom.

0:37:30 > 0:37:33Then, on there, goes my black garlic.

0:37:33 > 0:37:36Three little cloves of black garlic.

0:37:36 > 0:37:38Give this a quick heat.

0:37:39 > 0:37:42There we are. A few leeks, garlic.

0:37:42 > 0:37:44Now your fish is going to sit on that.

0:37:44 > 0:37:46Mmm!

0:37:46 > 0:37:51I'm using Pernod, it accentuates the fennel. Yeah.

0:37:51 > 0:37:53White wine, not too much.

0:37:55 > 0:37:58And pop that in the oven for 15 minutes.

0:38:00 > 0:38:04So, you were awarded your Michelin star back in 2003,

0:38:04 > 0:38:05and you've still got it?

0:38:07 > 0:38:09I know, amazing, nightmare.

0:38:10 > 0:38:12But that is amazing.

0:38:12 > 0:38:15Michelin stars are great, but if somebody's sitting there eating

0:38:15 > 0:38:18with huge care and interest,

0:38:18 > 0:38:22you think, "Oh, my God, quickly, quickly!

0:38:23 > 0:38:25"Make sure that it's good!"

0:38:25 > 0:38:27And you get quite neurotic,

0:38:27 > 0:38:30and probably don't do as well as you would do normally.

0:38:32 > 0:38:34This is wild garlic, pulverised.

0:38:34 > 0:38:36Sheree, you want to have a blitz?

0:38:36 > 0:38:39Yes, of course. I'm just going to stick these peas in.

0:38:44 > 0:38:47Great. Is that good? Yes, thank you.

0:38:47 > 0:38:49Now look at that colour. Beautiful colour, gorgeous.

0:38:49 > 0:38:55And, to me, why are people using food colourings? Yeah. Hey?

0:38:55 > 0:38:59Do they use them in top restaurants? Lots of food colourings? Oh, erm...

0:38:59 > 0:39:01They're around! OK!

0:39:04 > 0:39:06Right, I don't know how these peas are doing.

0:39:06 > 0:39:08I think we can just pop them.

0:39:08 > 0:39:11So that's nice, a bit more of our garnish.

0:39:11 > 0:39:13I'm just going to pass off my stock.

0:39:13 > 0:39:17Which means sieve. Right. You know, whatever.

0:39:17 > 0:39:18There we go.

0:39:18 > 0:39:22I'm just going to bring that down, just to reduce a bit.

0:39:23 > 0:39:26So, plonk that garlic in there.

0:39:26 > 0:39:30And again, I'm just going to tip a bit of this in here.

0:39:30 > 0:39:33Are you guessing yet why I need the...?

0:39:33 > 0:39:35Squid ink. Yeah.

0:39:36 > 0:39:38It's going to go into there?

0:39:39 > 0:39:40OK.

0:39:44 > 0:39:48Now, that, we're going to add to a little of my stock.

0:39:49 > 0:39:50Whack the cream in.

0:39:52 > 0:39:55And then the famous squid ink, which...

0:39:55 > 0:39:57Ha-ha!

0:39:57 > 0:39:59Plop it in, go for it.

0:39:59 > 0:40:03The tagine has just come out of the oven.

0:40:03 > 0:40:08So the fun then starts when it comes to plating up, yeah?

0:40:08 > 0:40:11Pop this on the plate.

0:40:17 > 0:40:19And then...

0:40:19 > 0:40:21Pop that on there.

0:40:21 > 0:40:24Peas, just pop the peas.

0:40:24 > 0:40:28Wild garlic flowers, you can really add those.

0:40:28 > 0:40:29Nettles...

0:40:31 > 0:40:34And there, I think, we have it.

0:40:34 > 0:40:36Right, guys, let's tuck in.

0:40:40 > 0:40:43What do you think? Mm, fantastic. Is it? Mm!

0:40:45 > 0:40:48Absolutely delicious.

0:40:48 > 0:40:51It's fantastic. So nice.

0:40:51 > 0:40:53It's absolutely amazing, Frances.

0:40:53 > 0:40:56But it's time to reveal who you're going to take through

0:40:56 > 0:40:58to the Friday final.

0:40:58 > 0:40:59But before you do,

0:40:59 > 0:41:03let's have a quick recap of what our cooks made earlier.

0:41:03 > 0:41:04In the first round,

0:41:04 > 0:41:08the consistency of Dina's Portuguese balls was too heavy for Frances.

0:41:08 > 0:41:11The tastes were good, but I'm not sure I could eat a whole plate.

0:41:11 > 0:41:13She delivered a tasty dressing in the second,

0:41:13 > 0:41:15but overdressed her leaves.

0:41:15 > 0:41:17And in the final round, she impressed Frances with her

0:41:17 > 0:41:21use of ingredients and flavour combinations.

0:41:21 > 0:41:22I'd love to win.

0:41:22 > 0:41:25I tried my hardest, and I hope it was enough.

0:41:25 > 0:41:30Meanwhile, Matt produced a perfectly cooked fish dish in the first round.

0:41:30 > 0:41:32He aced his salad dressing in the second,

0:41:32 > 0:41:35but disappointed Frances in the final round

0:41:35 > 0:41:38with his failure to experiment with all the ingredients.

0:41:38 > 0:41:42If you had put a little black garlic in that sauce... Yeah.

0:41:42 > 0:41:44..it could have been a wow.

0:41:44 > 0:41:46Having come this far, I'd love to win this.

0:41:46 > 0:41:49I think I've learned so much over the course of today,

0:41:49 > 0:41:53and I've love to come back on Friday and cook in the final.

0:41:53 > 0:41:56First of all, I'd like to say a massive well done to both of you,

0:41:56 > 0:41:58you've been brilliant today.

0:41:58 > 0:42:01But it's time for Frances to declare her winner

0:42:01 > 0:42:04and who will be joining her in the Friday final.

0:42:04 > 0:42:07So it's over to you, Frances.

0:42:07 > 0:42:11Well, first of all, let me say I have swithered.

0:42:11 > 0:42:15This has been a really, really hard decision for me.

0:42:15 > 0:42:19And, in the end, my decision is

0:42:19 > 0:42:21to take you to the final.

0:42:21 > 0:42:25Because you're going to work really hard for me.

0:42:25 > 0:42:27Well done.

0:42:27 > 0:42:29So excited, that was so good.

0:42:29 > 0:42:32It was great, great. Can't wait!

0:42:32 > 0:42:33Girl team.

0:42:33 > 0:42:37I'm feeling a bit disappointed, but I think it was very close,

0:42:37 > 0:42:39and all of Dina's dishes were fantastic.

0:42:39 > 0:42:42So I knew it was going to be a tough decision.

0:42:42 > 0:42:45I'm sure Dina's going to do a great job on Friday.

0:42:45 > 0:42:48Are you ready to do me proud? Yes, Chef! Good girl!

0:42:50 > 0:42:54Tomorrow, on Yes Chef, it's the Friday final.

0:42:54 > 0:42:57Take the risotto off for ten minutes!

0:42:57 > 0:43:00Our four pro-am teams will go head-to-head.

0:43:00 > 0:43:01Mash the spuds!

0:43:01 > 0:43:04They will be judged by triple-Michelin-starred chef

0:43:04 > 0:43:05Pierre Koffmann.

0:43:05 > 0:43:07But only one team can win.

0:43:07 > 0:43:09And the winners are...

0:43:43 > 0:43:46THEME PLAYS: The Apprentice
