02:46John's also working on his main course with the Hoggett kebab I'm basically just working the
02:52donna a little bit further I just felt the texture could have been a little bit more bouncy and also
02:57I've just added a little bit more aromatics into it I'm trying to make every little change I can at
03:02this point to just take the edge let's get my crew starts going to serve times get really crispy in

08:18director and ambassador for film Cymru who had a global hit with her film the swimmers it's Swansea
08:25Sally El Hosani good morning hello Sally so good to meet you nice to meet you nice to meet you
08:34hello I'm a big fan of the show so many of you are welcome are you a big fan of
08:39food Sally that's
08:40the question I am and you grew up in Wales you know the kind of Welsh culture of food what
08:44you're looking
08:45for yeah my nan actually worked in Swansea market and as a child I used to go there and we'd
08:50eat
08:50cockles with a little toothpick in the market my nan was an incredible cook and I learnt a lot of
08:56my
08:56cooking skills from her you directed the swimmers I did based on true story about two Syrian sisters who
09:02escaped the war and one of them ends up swimming in the Olympics yeah an incredible true story I
09:07mean that's the thing is that it's not that I go out looking for true stories but when you hear
09:11them
09:11you know they get under your skin that authenticity just inspires me and makes me want to tell it which
09:18is great with the dishes today because you know this is all about storytelling yeah they're directors
09:22yeah absolutely they're nearly ready for action on their culinary short film the canapรฉ how you
09:30looking John yeah I'm gonna play in like two three minutes was that an egg no it wasn't an egg
09:38John's
09:40pickled kohlrabi in a honey and seaweed liquor all right my little turtle doves you have five minutes
09:46to the pass yes he builds his canopy with the candied beetroot then half a hazelnut you looking all right
09:55yeah I'm gonna start flying in the minute the lobster in the middle gets cooked as the doughnuts fry
10:03two minutes to the past chefs yeah the kohlrabi towers are topped with spring onions and cornflowers
10:11do you need a hand oh I'm good mate sure okay yeah I'll do mushroom caramel you're due at the
10:20past now
10:21then shaved truffle and the doughnuts are ready to service please well done game on thank you
10:36thank you so much thank you oh that is dainty and this one's not and this one first John's honey
10:47pickled kohlrabi that is outrageously good real crunch to it some crunch texture acidity and each
11:00flavor comes out here in in waves there's like a floral taste as well yeah a little bit elderflower
11:05in there keep giving lots of different things doesn't it yeah it goes on time for Corrin's lobster
11:12donut with a cured trout version for Tom big flavors but very light as well yeah slightly monotone only
11:26because I think we had that first it was a lot more gentle than the first one yes yeah it's
11:31like a warm
11:32rounding hug as opposed to like an exciting fairground ride of flavors like Tom yeah but the one that
11:40excited me the most was this one agreed it's really unique cut the side I think I like them both
11:47equally
11:47in different ways John takes the canopy how you looking John I think okay I still got quite a lot
11:58today me too mate it's starter next and Corrin's up first he couldn't include the wild rice for his
12:06starter in the heats please having more success getting it to puff up today okay so the first of
12:13the starters which are all plant-based is begin at the beginning and it's a celeriac broth served with a
12:22herb bouquet soy milk poached celeriac celeriac puree teriyaki shiitake mushrooms hazelnut furikake and
12:30lovage oil celebrating Welsh actor Richard Burton and the 1972 film under milk wood which was filmed
12:38mostly in fish guard as the celeriac roses poach he mixes hazelnuts nori sesame seeds and nutritional yeast
12:46with his wild rice for the furikake
12:52that's good hey Corrin how you doing chef yeah looking all right right now touch wood under milk
12:58wood hey you've got an eight for this yeah what was Tommy's feedback he would have liked a few more
13:05crunchy bits on it so I'm adding some puff wild rice to furikake lovely I'm also gonna add a little
13:10bit
13:10more shiitake mushroom and I'm gonna season my broth with a tarragon vinegar oh you want a bit more
13:14acidity one of them what didn't and we want it what's the school we want oh we want a line
13:17we
13:18want a nine don't we want a ten all right we'll go ten don't be shy okay once again he's
13:24used a
13:24barbecue turnip to add a charred depth to his celeriac broth the roses are to represent the moon over the
13:34sea surrounded by dark countryside in the opening scene of under milk wood the film was originally a
13:42radio play I was written for voices it involves all the local characters in a fictitious village which
13:50spelt backwards I don't know if allowed to say this on telly it's bugger all okay Corrin you have five
14:00minutes to the past chef yes yeah we'll be up in two shimmies in a shake lovage oil is added
14:05to the
14:06broth cups and the judges will add their own herb bouquet Corrin covers his celeriac puree with a
14:15larger portion of teriyaki shiitakes what you need bud hard slices around the rows if that's okay
14:21yeah everything behaving itself everything's better than it ever has been oh well be a truffle going on this
14:27one today how's that broth tasting nice yeah the tarragon vinegar is just giving it a real lift
14:35all right John K2 yes please thank you chef yep yep yep yep service please thank you very much so
14:48obviously you mentioned voices there and one of the most incredible voices I suppose in British acting
14:54history is Richard Burton well he was a huge fan of Dylan Thomas so the film exists because it was
14:59his passion project Tom what's the voice like deep baritone rich can you it's very similar to mine
15:09to begin at the beginning oh that's him it is doesn't like it moonless night in a small town starless
15:18and
15:18bible black the cobbled streets silent and the hunched quarters and rabbits wood limping invisible down to
15:25the slow black that was quite an entrance minute very atmospheric so let me oh look at that look at
15:33teeth I like the moss as well in the bowls smells incredible doesn't it smells wonderful
15:46seems to be prodding yours around I think everything's cooked nicely in it and I like the textures I
15:53just don't think I'm enjoying it that much to be honest with you I really like the solaric I think
15:58it's
15:58really earthy and rich the tea it smells so wonderful but the flavor doesn't quite deliver
16:04on that see I'm the other way around I love the tea whereas I found it itself a little bit
16:10gritty I
16:11really like mine here we've got this beautiful kind of solariac rose it's layered with flavors and
16:16the tea the lovage that comes through the undertones everything in the seaweed maybe a touch under seasoned
16:24the drama of the presentation as well reminded me of the film it's atmospheric and poetic it's
16:30transported me to somewhere else I feel like doors I feel like I'm in Wales somewhere that's a good dish
16:35this John's next after checking the hoggett sausage for the main course he's onto the saute sauce for his
16:48starter very good it's called lgsm lesbians and gays support the miners inspired by pride which tells
16:57of the lesbian and gay community fundraising for Welsh striking miners the dish showcases the colliding
17:05of two very different worlds it's coconut smoked mataki hazelnut satay sauce sweet and sour pickled
17:12some edges aerated coconut hazelnut and sourdough bread miso sauce garnished with black truffle and
17:18spice a lot of ingredients a lot of flavors what did you score for this I believe an eight he
17:25was
17:25looking for a little bit more texture I've got some buckwheat and some golden linseed here which
17:29I'm just gonna toast off I've toasted off some seaweed I've used all the truffle trim as well so I'm
17:33basically just gonna season that up make it a little bit more crunchy
17:40so I'm just cooking the mushrooms to get like a nice even caramelization basically then gonna smoke
17:45them Sally in the swimmers is naturally a lot of water scenes that must be a real challenge to film
17:54yeah we filmed a lot of the open water scenes in in the sea the camera and myself we're in
18:00a small
18:01dinghy attached to the real action dinghy with the actors in and it was very emotional actually
18:06because I'd cast a lot of people who were refugees and who'd taken that journey themselves and so they
18:12were acting something they'd already done John's using the pulp leftover from making coconut cream to
18:20flavor the smoke for his mushrooms John you have six minutes chef yes chef in the heats his coconut
18:28sauce got too hot and couldn't hold in a foam as a temperature on that secondary sauce it's good
18:33yeah hold it yeah he adds the crunchier seeds and quinoa mix to the maitake's then his 15
18:41ingredient Thai love spice blend feeling very Southeast Asian this I'm excited very much
18:50four minutes chef yes chef first is going to be the satay sauce in the bottom and then mushroom next
18:56wild
18:58garlic and fermented chili and pickled chimay cheese are next ah minus like while this holding waiver and
19:11it's all covered with truffle service piece it's delivered to Billy Bragg's song from the film
19:33look at that rainbow dust wow we know which part of the story that is glamboyant miners
19:48well it's certainly a collision I feel like it does not a good thing for you right now I'm not
19:56entirely sure if I absolutely love it or I don't I don't think the coconut quite works I think that
20:03that's the kind of floralness that I'm it's confusing it slightly but in terms of the storytelling the
20:08glitters lovely yeah I feel that's a lot of fun to sprinkle on it is reflective of the miners and
20:14the LGBTQ community coming together but I'm not entirely sure that it a hundred percent works I like
20:22the heat I think maybe people have slightly less satay sauce the texture the puffed quinoa there was
20:27nice it gave good crunch to it the meatiness of the matakis I think that's the thing that bothers me
20:32the most about the dish the mataki mmm it's like this I don't know mushroom mattress surrounded by all
20:38sorts of bits and bobs that are tasty and crunchy I think you're right Lorne I think there's too much
20:43of the satay that kind of makes it a bit gloopy yeah but the sauce tastes lush it does taste
20:48very
20:48see that's the thing we're talking about all things that are actually really nice and lovely but they
20:51haven't quite become friends yet I don't think it's still the start of the movie yeah yeah and just
20:59like that work your fish calls Corrin just like that Corrin's making chow and mushy a set custard
21:07that must have a silky texture it's been the downfall of many chefs on the show because there's no room
21:14for error six minute timer so next up we have the secret garden crostade filled with broccoli puree and trout
21:22belly
21:22chow and mushy served with cured bottom loin of trout pickled shallots pickled sea vegetables and a
21:29champagne velutรฉ top line of trout cooked in the clarified butter with a champagne and brown butter sabayon
21:35based on the secret garden many of the garden scenes were filmed at the world-famous Conway botanical gardens set
21:42across 80 acres of rich and abundant greenery you've got a nine I've made a few little adjustments just
21:48tiny ones in terms of like seasonings and more pickled vegetables and the crew starred I'm gonna
21:54season it with a little bit of pickled jalapeno vinegar I've got my two champagne sauces that need
22:01getting on all systems go now the cured trout bottom loin is finished with olive oil and the belly is
22:10mixed with broccoli stems whilst he prepares the top loin I'm just trying to time it right before I
22:17start cooking the trial I don't want it to be cooked too soon I'm just trying to keep myself calm
22:22I love
22:24the way that we're using both parts of the trade like the bottom loin of it being cured and then
22:29the
22:29top of it being cooked in clarified butter I'm excited about the champagne elements they've used every part of
22:35the champagne yeah the crustards are filled with the trout belly and broccoli puree okay Corinne six
22:49minutes time I'd love your fish to be at the pass please yes Andy some of the puree also goes
22:56on the
22:56chawan mushy along with pickled shallots and verbena leaves what was the chawan mushy kind of like a warm
23:03panna cotta it's probably the best way of kind of describe Laura just did a face fishy kind of like
23:10warm fish you don't like custard I've had some that are not nice I've had some that are very nice
23:15how
23:17are those cruise stars lovely and crispy they're finished with crispy leeks the cured bottom loin goes
23:26on the chawan mushy oh it's quite hot yeah elderflower ketchup and pickled elderflowers go on the water bath top
23:40loin
23:41straight on top yep 108 please then it's the champagne savoyang last minute chef yes Andy coming up in one
23:52minute a lighter champagne sauce is added to the chawan mushy along with flowers from Corinne's garden
24:04thank you very much okay service yeah that's one second place one second please thank you thank you very
24:22much thanks to enjoy your dish please find the key to the secret garden the entrance is hidden under
24:32the crostade where all good entrances are
24:44first thing that crostade is delicious yeah the trout flavor really comes through in that great crunch to
24:58it as well yeah I'm not a big fan of chawan mushy I've got to be honest but in this
25:02case it sits
25:03quite nicely with it I love that the chawan mushy is the nice thing I've had today it's so rich
25:09and
25:10tasty and like umami and deep yeah it's not too far cooked it's not under it's just perfect yeah I
25:15like
25:16the pickled shallots that kind of slight sharpness and freshness the trout and the other dishes well
25:20is perfectly cooked all three are very different as well which is all quite interesting I mean I
25:26suppose the only thing that I would say if this was at a banquet trying to do 80 of these
25:32dishes all of
25:33those little elements but that doesn't mean to say that right now in this moment this dish is beautiful
25:46how are you looking John think in control dare I say it John's making fair dardeni a crab and
25:54coconut bavoie apple cider and elderflower vinegar jelly dressed white crab pickled green apple and a
26:01coconut ash cracker fair dardeni based on Disney film the black cauldron 1985 the story draws directly
26:10from the legend of the fair dardeni the cauldron of rebirth which became the inspiration for the
26:16film's magical black cauldron my crab has been replaced with celeriac the crab of the land have you
26:23ever seen the celeriac walk you sideways so chef you've got a knife in this dish yes very happy with
26:29that we did want a bit more theater both Tommy and I wanted more theater from yeah I really believe
26:33in
26:33the dish I really like it and I'm not changing anything in terms of like the cooking I just want
26:39to nail that again and then I'm just gonna add some dry ice to the theater because of Tom's shellfish
26:46allergy John's replacing the white crab with celeriac and enoki mushrooms this has got a sort of like
26:52bow crab appearance to it he mixes both toppings with pickled green apple and the spicy coconut and lime
27:00dressing as Phil finds out how Sally recreated a missile attack they used for us in the swimming
27:08pool and a shell flies in through the roof and into the water so we had a real bomb that
27:15we dropped in
27:16to the water but then we had to replace it in visual effects to be a fake one and doing
27:21visual effects with
27:21waters really complicated because of all the bubbles that come off and so an incredible team that was
27:27mainly British but it's a life the UK really are top of their game yeah yeah yeah the coconut ash
27:36crackers
27:36aren't frying as cleanly today I think the batter was too thin but I have enough for this I just
27:45wanted
27:45to make a few more so I could make sure I got ultra beautiful ones you've got six minutes to
27:51the past
27:52John yeah he builds the bavoise with the dressed crab and Tom's celeriac on top of the apple cider and
27:59elderflower vinegar jelly then a generous layer of caviar seasoned with Welsh seaweed and long pepper
28:07foreign yes chef can I get you on piping yeah of course so basically all the crevices yeah
28:14toasted seaweed and chili emulsion fills the crackers it's like a maze isn't it yeah I'm glad he's
28:22giving me the easier job the bavoise are finished with elderflower vinegar gel
28:28a listen flowers and fennel fronds you're gonna need a few extra seconds so he can get all four
28:34crackers pipes maybe like another minute give me one more extra minute more elderflower gel and the dish
28:44the dish is served service please careful guys thank you very much
29:04oh what's in the box what's in the box oh that's beautiful
29:19it is quite light and elegant but there's a bit too much of the elderflower vinegar I feel like
29:25it's taken over the whole thing and when you're not really getting the flavor of the crab bavoise
29:31and the bath was actually a little bit grainy as well there's so many lovely flavors in there I think
29:35coconut works really nicely there but yeah I think overall there's just too much vinegar this is kind
29:41of sour and tangy no matter where you go I think the seaweed caviar is lovely though and I quite
29:47enjoyed
29:48you know this the crunch yeah very very crunchy got a lot of texture to it you got a nice
29:53warmth and
29:54heat coming through from it and the drama of it all as well in terms of fulfilling the brief is
29:59there I
29:59think the cracker looks fantastic I think it's a brilliant addition but there's way too much spice
30:06way too much acidity it just doesn't sit really well with this dish it is like a mouthful of chili
30:12powder just right at the end there yeah we're coming to the main course Corin's guinea fowl breasts go into
30:27the water bath and the thighs are on the barbecue how are you getting on John good I think just
30:33don't
30:33want to stitch myself on my dessert you know yeah exactly just making the carrot and sea buckthorn
30:41sorbet now get that churning hello lovely judges oh you're very perky today we've just been perked up by
30:54spice and vinegar have you had anything delicious neither chef is playing it safe there's a couple
31:00of dishes there where this kind of like rainbow cacophony of ingredients come together and they
31:04really do work some are not quite hitting the mark Lorna that's the kind of tightrope these chefs are
31:11walking I've had one dish that I've really liked but otherwise I still think need work are you getting
31:16some good strong storytelling in here absolutely I mean there's been drama there's also a delicacy
31:21though in a gentleness what is it 60 million households watched your swimmers film 47 number
31:27one in 47 countries you know about this yeah and a Welsh BAFTA and a Welsh BAFTA that's right let's
31:35not forget about the Welsh BAFTA
31:36that's right let's not forget about the Welsh BAFTA well the second half there's some stunning cooking coming
31:40thank you can't wait good luck with the eating
31:48Corin's baked his miso muffins for dessert and for the main course he's proved the bao buns for longer
31:55they're a bit different than yesterday then
31:59light as a feather just like you chef
32:06John's rendering his hogget rack he's going to be serving first

35:56thanks so much for that
35:57no problem mate
35:59it looks good
36:00bit of a bombsite it
36:02oh that's so juicy
36:11the bottled sauces are named after the main characters in human traffic apply as your mood
36:16dictates oh it's fiery but good now the honey pickled chili fruit pods oh that's what these
36:28oh yeah oh spicy I know that's what just took the roof it's lush it's such an original take on
36:39things
36:39that you're very used to the kebab so exciting to eat and it's so flavorful the lamb's cooked
36:46deliciously every element of it so accomplished isn't it the presentation you really feel the
36:50whole time that you're out on a night out you're having a late night kebab flavor-wise I think it
36:54is outstanding it's beautifully cooked hogget sweetbreads like that and the pickles and the
36:59spicing all of it is delicious each of those curry sauces have their own right in their own balance
37:04and their own flavor is it special enough for a banquet I think definitely yeah it's just so full
37:10of flavor so delicious it's so fun if I think of great British menu banquets something magically
37:16special and this although all the flavor profiles are there all the cooking skills are there does it
37:21just feel a little bit like we should be sat in the back of a taxi I'm not going home
37:26yet
37:33Corrin's turn he's juggling a coconut ice cream for dessert alongside celeriac fondants and the rendering
37:40of his guinea fowl for Maine Rangano Nioni's guinea fowl barbecued finished crown of guinea fowl fried
37:50comfy leg with piri piri hot sauce barbecued confit thigh pickled and seared courgettes courgette
37:56puree roasted yeast celeriac puree and the fried steamed bun celebrating Rangano Nioni a Welsh
38:01Zambian director who won best director at Cannes 2024 for her film becoming a guinea fowl
38:08Corrin is glazing with a Welsh Zambian honey he found at his local farmers market
38:17you've got a nine for this course I did what was the point he took off why didn't he give
38:21you a ten
38:21so tight you need to render the fat down a little bit more and some nice crisp skin so that's
38:25what
38:25we're going for indeed what they look like lovely little pillows they are far better than they were
38:35earlier this week now that is what I wanted he dredges the drumsticks these are gonna be better than
38:45yesterday as well was a bit unhappy with how it all came together in the week so I want to
38:51make sure
38:51that everything's at its perfect point before I start plating and this is gonna be a play on the
38:57fried chicken so we had a kebab and now we're getting fried chicken this is the best night out in
39:02Cardiff
39:06the guinea fowl drumsticks are seasoned with piri piri sauce actually didn't do this in the week but
39:13I think a little bit of nutmeg and lime on this can really lift it the celeriac fondants and puree
39:22are ready to go followed by the courgette puree what do you need bro if you just pick the nicest
39:28one
39:28of these yeah and stick the little dogs on through it thank you very much barbecued courgettes are
39:37next all right Colin my love you've got five minutes yep I'll be up very sharpish how's that
39:43guinea fowl be resting until the last minute nice cook thank you happy happy with it very happy very
39:58happy indeed which making sure to trim any fatty bit because I feel like that is where I went a
40:05little bit wrong in the week smell of that first so gorgeous the dish is finished with the ponzu sauce
40:23okay top left please John yeah service please thank you very much all right Cory wow no
40:38wait wait wait wait where are you going with my buttons okay thank you just quality control
40:49wow
40:55yes bud it's quite smokey in here isn't it
41:10what you think phil are you still here i i i think the barbecue bits are so nice that bit
41:17of confit thigh they're so smoky and this bread i think this bread's fantastic yeah the fried
41:22steamed bun is delicious the cooking of the guinea fowl breast i think is fantastic
41:26the little nugget on the on the dart is delicious i think that i could eat that barbecue confit lots
41:35i could have more of that for sure the nasturtium flowers and the courgettes were quite a subtle
41:40flavor it maybe wasn't quite as exciting as the last main that we had i think the letdown
41:46slightly is the garnish it all feels a little bit flat and i think i want a bit more of
41:51the spice
41:52and a bit more of the sweetness and a bit more of those flavor profiles that you read
41:55being pulled through onto the plate a bit more yeah i mean i completely agree i think the guinea
41:59fowl was definitely the highlight of the dish and the little confit was on there was really good
42:03i think if you gave me a bit more of an exciting sauce for the extra bit for the bun
42:06and stuff
42:07like that i think it could help bring everything together i really love this i think this is really
42:11cool yeah yeah
42:17it's pre-dessert and john's coloring tuiles with fig leaf powder to look like dinosaur scales
42:25along with the canapรฉ their scores here will be the decider if there's a tie break
42:30all right chef so you have six minutes to bring your pre-desserts to the past both at the same
42:35time
42:35probably need an extra two i've got tuiles in for six minutes or five minutes now
42:40john's making not so tropical celebrating jurassic world rebirth from director gareth edwards the tuiles
42:48will go on top of the sea buckthorn and carrot sorbet he made earlier i've been super happy with the
42:55food
42:55that's left this kitchen so far so i'm going to keep trying to do the same
43:01corin's made an olive oil mousse for rocket man which celebrates taron edgerton's portrayal of elton
43:07john it will go with the pistachio tofu and white chocolate ganache and lemon curd
43:14yeah
43:17you're still looking good john
43:20yeah
43:24corin's onto the mousse and john's adding fur oil
43:28one minute to the past please yeah i might need another minute he needs a whole minute
43:33is that all right for you it's fine mate i'm good yeah rocket man is finished with lemon meringue
43:42corin you got hands for a minute just to help me put these wheels on on yep you're into that
43:50extra minute
44:01okay service
44:06thank you very much
44:19oh
44:23first they're trying the white chocolate and tofu ganache in corin's rocket man
44:33when you read tofu and white chocolate ganache you go oh my what's this going to be and yeah
44:39textually yeah i've never had anything like it before it's absolutely delicious i love it
44:46there are little sharp lemony bits that come through the different layers so every spoonful is different
44:51it's just so lovely yes creamy and comforting balsals got that zip of the lemon
44:57second is john's not so tropical with the sea buckthorn and carrot sorbet
45:05it's clean it's crisp it works very well as a pre-dessert the seed buckthorn and the fig leaf
45:11actually work very well together i think in that it's really good and zingy and fresh
45:15never had anything like it you know what it's so brave i i have to highly commend these two chefs
45:22for the way that they're cooking the colors are really bright and uh impressive in this one
45:26it's fun to look at we have to lift up lift off lift off whichever one we think is the
45:33best
45:37houston we have a ganache
45:45it's the final course dessert
45:49corin's adding color to his liquid gold coconut blossom caramel sauce
45:55let's go more butter we're not here to be shy are we
46:01it's a banquet
46:05so just strained off my comfy strawberries i've had a little bit longer today to get them going
46:10slower make sure that they really take on the flavor that i want time you up so 20 minutes
46:20john's been inspired by snow white and the huntsman which was filmed on the beaches of pembrokeshire
46:28okay so the first dessert is called white red and rose and it's coconut and white cardamom
46:33bavoie fermented rice ice cream toasted rice meringue shards strawberry compote
46:38comfy strawberries white cardamom and pickled rose liquor consomme and frozen coconut snow
46:44and this is a take on a line from the film face as white as snow lips as red as
46:51blood and heart as
46:53strong as a rose what did you get for this a seven seven seven uh so i'll be looking to
46:58improve on that
46:59there was an issue with the setting of the bar while it was too hard set yeah so i've dropped
47:03a couple
47:03of grams of uh gelatin on that meringue i'm gonna knock down the portion size i'm actually gonna knock
47:10up the portion size of the ice cream just getting the balance right
47:17corin's meanwhile making a shiso vinegar syrup to flavor an italian meringue which will go with his
47:23rum soaked miso muffins and coconut ice cream like john's starter his dessert stands for lesbians and gays
47:31support the miners and is inspired by the film pride this did it for you didn't it this was my
47:3710.
47:38i'm assuming there are no changes i've made a slight change actually the ice cream was slipping off it
47:43was just a bit unstable i want it to resemble mine but not fall down like mine yeah so what
47:49have you
47:49done serving the ice cream on the side then you can control how much that comes out that's a good
47:53idea
47:56how you looking john did your hand with anything i'm pushing a little bit just to get things set
48:00i can go first on this if you want sorry if you if you're happy i'll go first on this
48:04can you go first
48:05do you want me to yeah i mean i could do with the extra i'll go first
48:12super happy with these muffins they've come out super light everything's light and fluffy today
48:17do you have any piping bags chefs do you want to go straight into these perfect i only need one
48:22thank you
48:29okay john you've got six minutes to the past chef i'm actually uh falling a little bit behind so corin
48:35is kindly offered to go first oh you swapped yes because you were good to go oh look at that
48:42one last gentlemanly chefy act well then you have six minutes no problem
48:51after being dried out and given a hint of smoky flavor the miso muffins are soaked in rum syrup
48:59they're served in coal boxes with the meringue on top
49:03do you need anything chef do you want to take the sauce out give it a little
49:06twizzle with a spoon yep how much do you want chef too much no it's fine never too much
49:14the liquid gold caramel sauce gets a bit more bling
49:23after toasting the meringue with an ember thank you
49:35okay service it's served to dead or alive's track which features in the movie thank you very
49:57good energy coming into the room wouldn't it we've had a real boogie this week
50:07love that liquid gold yeah so pretty
50:13it's a sexy sticky tofu pudding isn't it it's clever and simple all at the same time
50:19the ice cream is magic i had the ice cream on its own and i thought well yeah it's a
50:24bit sour and
50:25it's not quite but then the moment you put it together with the the sweetness of that caramel sauce
50:30and the the muffin and the meringue just delicious this slight smokiness and the rum in there is great
50:36as well i think that's the best meringue i've ever had in my life honestly i'm used to meringue
50:41being you know crispy and hard but it works so nicely soft also the gold in that sauce set
50:48against the kind of earthy pudding and bowl i think sticks to the brief beautifully yeah you
50:54really feel the kind of two worlds unifying here what a special little pudding that is
50:59that's it coconut blossom caramel sauce is the way forward as long as it's sprinkled with gold
51:07you're going to look really cool now and do the double glasses thing
51:17john's making coconut puree snow for his snow white inspired red white and rose which he adds
51:25as a flavor in his strawberry and white cardamom sauce hey john yeah you've got quite a long time
51:33you've got 16 minutes left you're gonna come a bit early yeah i think everything is set nicely now so
51:38how's that bavois can i have a look happy it's got like a nice softness to it now yeah good
51:45good good
51:45i'm in a happier place the white coconut and cardamom bavois gets a red topping of strawberries
51:53in a compote and confit along with some verbena leaves toasted rice meringue shards i wonder how sweet
52:01they'll be over it'll just be a nice kind of toasty note i do quite like cardamom being used in
52:06dessert
52:06if it's used sparingly the amazake fermented rice ice cream is topped with meringue shards you mind just
52:16going on some shards beautiful wobble to it look
52:31okay long last time service please guys
52:36okay
52:49skin as white as snow lips as red as blood heart as strong as a rose
52:54it's not even anything written on there it's just lorna looking over a reflection yeah exactly yeah
53:08what do you think
53:09what do you think ah it's nice
53:11i have a very similar reaction it's strawberries and cream and it's toasty rice clever pastry techniques
53:17but it's it's not a banquet worthy winning dish it's got flavors that work classically
53:25it's quite safe i think yeah i think i think the flavors are harmonious but i think it's a bit
53:32sloppy yes the meringue is a bit sweet and not adding too much yeah and i'm sure about the
53:36coconut and cardamom bavoie yeah it was a bit too savory in a way that didn't quite play off the
53:42other
53:42flavors it seems nice yeah all the colors are there the snow white colors of red and white can you
53:48taste the
53:48rose no no can you taste much of the coconut no there's no punchy notes which is a shame because
53:56i think this might be the same chef that did the kebab if you could make this sing like the
54:00kebab dish
54:01that'd be mega i'm absolutely exhausted after all that it was an intense day yeah i've loved every
54:09minute of it yeah for both of us i think every dish made an improvement today yeah you know so
