Where'd you get this inspiration from? 96 00:04:24,320 --> 00:04:26,520 When I created this, pears were in season. 97 00:04:26,560 --> 00:04:29,360 I thought, "What goes with pear? Chocolate and earl grey." 98 00:04:29,400 --> 00:04:30,760 There are a number of components. 99 00:04:30,800 --> 00:04:33,200 We've got these fresh juicy poached pears. 100 00:04:33,240 --> 00:04:35,616 You should be able to bite into it and still have some texture. 101 00:04:35,640 --> 00:04:37,040 You don't want it to be too mushy. 102 00:04:37,080 --> 00:04:39,640 We've got this thick, velvety milk chocolate cream. 103 00:04:39,680 --> 00:04:43,080 The sponge, you don't want it to be dense or too flat. 104 00:04:43,120 --> 00:04:45,280 And the chocolate Chantilly that goes on top. 105 00:04:45,320 --> 00:04:46,840 Absolutely stunning dessert. 106 00:04:46,880 --> 00:04:50,120 Elegant combination of flavours, full of texture. I love it. 107 00:04:50,160 --> 00:04:53,080 So what is the most difficult to nail? 108 00:04:53,120 --> 00:04:55,760 On paper, this recipe looks like a petit gateau, 109 00:04:55,800 --> 00:04:58,920 but what they don't see on paper is all the detail. 110 00:04:58,960 --> 00:05:01,320 The visual is actually inspired by a sunrise. 111 00:05:01,360 --> 00:05:02,800 This takes a lot of finesse. 112 00:05:02,840 --> 00:05:04,280 Getting that chocolate tempered 113 00:05:04,320 --> 00:05:08,640 and spread beautifully, placing them perfectly, so that everything fits. 114 00:05:08,680 --> 00:05:11,840 Wow, this is such a difficult challenge. 115 00:05:11,880 --> 00:05:14,600 They need to look at every little aspect of this recipe 116 00:05:14,640 --> 00:05:17,760 to make it technically right. A lot can go right, but also 117 00:05:17,800 --> 00:05:20,176 a lot can go wrong. A lot can go wrong. Yeah, I was leading you 118 00:05:20,200 --> 00:05:21,680 into this one. You're right. 119 00:05:23,560 --> 00:05:27,400 Good morning, Mauro and Daniel. Good morning. Our reigning champions. 120 00:05:27,440 --> 00:05:30,280 Yes, you baby! Going into the semifinal, 121 00:05:30,320 --> 00:05:33,400 that's got to be nice. You're like, "Yeah, it was until we got this." 122 00:05:33,440 --> 00:05:36,080 You're giving me pressure. It is a lot of pressure, isn't it? 123 00:05:36,120 --> 00:05:38,920 And when you've been lumbered with this secret challenge. 124 00:05:38,960 --> 00:05:41,440 Daniel, have you seen the dessert before? Yes. 125 00:05:43,240 --> 00:05:44,560 Are you excited to make it? 126 00:05:46,080 --> 00:05:47,200 Yeah. 127 00:05:48,400 --> 00:05:50,680 Do you feel confident about what you need to do? 128 00:05:50,720 --> 00:05:55,280 It's something new, so we have to be very focusing on what we do. 129 00:05:55,320 --> 00:05:57,000 Yeah, focusing and not talking 130 00:05:57,040 --> 00:05:59,280 to a strange woman with a fancy collar. 131 00:06:02,800 --> 00:06:06,840 At the heart of Philip's dessert is an earl grey infused pear compote. 132 00:06:06,880 --> 00:06:09,560 I love these flavours. I love earl grey. 133 00:06:09,600 --> 00:06:12,200 And as with every element the chefs must produce... 134 00:06:14,400 --> 00:06:16,080 ..precision is paramount. 135 00:06:16,120 --> 00:06:18,960 It doesn't say. It just says, "Poach the pear." 136 00:06:19,000 --> 00:06:21,120 Too long, they risk a mushy middle. 137 00:06:21,160 --> 00:06:24,400 Oh, Mayank running! Oh, he's fast today. 138 00:06:24,440 --> 00:06:27,840 Not long enough, they'll be crunchy and lack earl grey flavour. 139 00:06:27,880 --> 00:06:30,240 Are these cooked already? Yeah. 140 00:06:30,280 --> 00:06:32,560 Did you taste it? I tasted it. I thought I could go more, 141 00:06:32,600 --> 00:06:35,480 but I was worried that it might just get over-cooked. All right. 142 00:06:35,520 --> 00:06:37,600 Anything that you are worried about? 143 00:06:37,640 --> 00:06:38,800 The whole composition. 144 00:06:38,840 --> 00:06:41,056 It's a legendary dessert. I don't know how much we're going 145 00:06:41,080 --> 00:06:42,160 to get it close. 146 00:06:42,200 --> 00:06:46,040 Very important, the decoration is so intricate. It's so refined. 147 00:06:46,080 --> 00:06:49,680 Finesse. Refinement has been a little bit of a struggle 148 00:06:49,720 --> 00:06:51,240 with you in the past. 149 00:06:51,280 --> 00:06:53,880 Agreed, Chef. Today you can't do that. This is the proper test 150 00:06:53,920 --> 00:06:56,760 for you, and you are in the semifinal after all. Yes, it is. 151 00:06:56,800 --> 00:06:58,880 You need to nail it and get it right. 152 00:06:58,920 --> 00:07:00,360 Yes, Chef. 153 00:07:00,400 --> 00:07:04,200 I'm weighing out the pear compote that's going to be frozen 154 00:07:04,240 --> 00:07:05,280 into the mould. 155 00:07:05,320 --> 00:07:06,600 To achieve the perfect balance 156 00:07:06,640 --> 00:07:10,960 of flavours, Philip's recipe requires exactly 25g 157 00:07:11,000 --> 00:07:13,000 of poached pears in each dessert. 158 00:07:13,040 --> 00:07:16,080 It's very precise. Oh, my God. 159 00:07:16,120 --> 00:07:18,600 It's very important that we get all the ingredients in 160 00:07:18,640 --> 00:07:22,120 the right amount, to have the same dessert from Chef Philip. 161 00:07:22,160 --> 00:07:26,160 I have no idea how much is this. I'm just, like, popping things in. 162 00:07:26,200 --> 00:07:28,760 We're just getting the pears frozen down. 163 00:07:28,800 --> 00:07:31,440 With so many elements to complete, the teams face 164 00:07:31,480 --> 00:07:33,320 a constant race against the clock. 165 00:07:35,120 --> 00:07:37,080 Every second lost means less time 166 00:07:37,120 --> 00:07:39,960 for that all-important assembly and finishing. 167 00:07:40,000 --> 00:07:41,800 Are the pears ready? No. 168 00:07:41,840 --> 00:07:44,016 Daniel, we need to put it in the dome because we need to... 169 00:07:44,040 --> 00:07:46,320 Yes, Mauro. But, please, 170 00:07:46,360 --> 00:07:49,160 I cannot concentrate if you speak all the time, you know? 171 00:07:49,200 --> 00:07:52,000 I'll get on the sponge, Andy. Yeah, I'm doing the Chantilly. Yeah. 172 00:07:52,040 --> 00:07:53,240 Earl grey sponge. 173 00:07:53,280 --> 00:07:54,520 Mix the dry ingredients 174 00:07:54,560 --> 00:07:57,600 and the wet ingredients separately, then combine. 175 00:07:57,640 --> 00:08:00,440 I'm just blending the earl grey tea, to fold it through the sponge. 176 00:08:03,440 --> 00:08:06,160 Otherwise when you eat it, you will feel the pieces of tea 177 00:08:06,200 --> 00:08:07,840 instead of just the flavour. 178 00:08:07,880 --> 00:08:09,760 This is very thin. 179 00:08:09,800 --> 00:08:12,120 I don't think there is enough aeration into the sponge. 180 00:08:12,160 --> 00:08:17,280 I mean, there is a lot of baking powder so it should raise a lot. 181 00:08:27,040 --> 00:08:29,800 Morning, chefs. Morning, Chef. Welcome back, Subin. 182 00:08:29,840 --> 00:08:31,480 Are you feeling better? Yes, I feel good. 183 00:08:31,520 --> 00:08:34,760 OK, it's great to have you back.

Well done, guys. 374 00:17:21,760 --> 00:17:25,840 Hmm, it's a bit cha la la, isn't it, Chef? 375 00:17:25,880 --> 00:17:28,080 Unfortunately, for a dessert like this one, there are 376 00:17:28,120 --> 00:17:30,880 elements you cannot afford to go wrong with. 377 00:17:30,920 --> 00:17:33,280 One of them is the glaze on the dome 378 00:17:33,320 --> 00:17:35,680 because this is where the colour comes from, 379 00:17:35,720 --> 00:17:37,840 this is where the story comes to life, 380 00:17:37,880 --> 00:17:40,560 and that's the part which has gone wrong for you today. 381 00:17:40,600 --> 00:17:41,600 But let's taste it. 382 00:17:44,840 --> 00:17:47,080 The chocolate cream is luscious. 383 00:17:47,120 --> 00:17:50,120 That Chantilly looks fantastic, really nicely whipped. 384 00:17:50,160 --> 00:17:52,920 But the pear's very slightly overcooked. 385 00:17:52,960 --> 00:17:56,080 OK. Again, the glaze not only compromised the visual, 386 00:17:56,120 --> 00:17:58,920 but I believe compromised also the way it tastes. 387 00:17:58,960 --> 00:18:01,880 I don't feel the Earl Grey as much as we should. 388 00:18:01,920 --> 00:18:04,000 It's a big one to mess up. 389 00:18:04,040 --> 00:18:05,840 Come back stronger tomorrow. 390 00:18:05,880 --> 00:18:07,360 Thanks. Thank you very much. 391 00:18:08,720 --> 00:18:11,000 It's OK. Tomorrow we'll do better. 392 00:18:16,480 --> 00:18:19,600 Unfortunately, we have the same little issue with 393 00:18:19,640 --> 00:18:22,480 the two of you and it's the finesse of work. 394 00:18:22,520 --> 00:18:24,576 In particular, obviously, the Chantilly has an issue, 395 00:18:24,600 --> 00:18:26,800 but also the chocolate is very rough. 396 00:18:26,840 --> 00:18:29,160 You can see how the chocolate's been joined 397 00:18:29,200 --> 00:18:30,720 and they're not exactly aligning. 398 00:18:30,760 --> 00:18:32,560 The Chantilly looks like maybe it just needed 399 00:18:32,600 --> 00:18:35,160 to have been whipped a bit longer. It's a bit on the soft side. 400 00:18:35,200 --> 00:18:36,960 There's just a few little details that are 401 00:18:37,000 --> 00:18:39,000 a little bit rough that let the whole thing down, 402 00:18:39,040 --> 00:18:40,600 but I look forward to trying it. 403 00:18:44,400 --> 00:18:46,360 I've got beautiful flavours of pear and chocolate, 404 00:18:46,400 --> 00:18:47,920 but not enough Earl Grey. 405 00:18:47,960 --> 00:18:51,280 Your poached pears haven't been poached enough. Mm. 406 00:18:51,320 --> 00:18:54,400 So they are crunchy and they taste like fresh pear. 407 00:18:54,440 --> 00:18:55,760 All the components are there, 408 00:18:55,800 --> 00:18:58,840 but that attention to detail is lacking. 409 00:18:58,880 --> 00:19:02,480 Thank you Chef, thank you. Well done, guys. Thank you, Dharma. 410 00:19:02,520 --> 00:19:05,280 We try hard, but of course it's the semifinal. 411 00:19:05,320 --> 00:19:08,000 Even one mistake will top you off, 412 00:19:08,040 --> 00:19:10,360 so I think we're sitting at the bottom. 413 00:19:10,400 --> 00:19:12,920 The secret challenges seem to be cursed. 414 00:19:12,960 --> 00:19:17,160 But we've been there before. Stay calm, we have tomorrow. 415 00:19:18,240 --> 00:19:19,480 Let's focus on tomorrow. 416 00:19:23,160 --> 00:19:25,240 Ahead of tomorrow's showpiece challenge, 417 00:19:25,280 --> 00:19:27,920 the teams have been given a golden hour to prepare. 418 00:19:27,960 --> 00:19:31,880 So was it Dawn of a New Day, or was it Dawn of the Dead? 419 00:19:31,920 --> 00:19:34,680 I've added drama. Killer joke. 420 00:19:34,720 --> 00:19:37,040 Nice. They did pretty well, though. 421 00:19:37,080 --> 00:19:39,200 Yes, considering it's a very difficult challenge. 422 00:19:39,240 --> 00:19:41,480 Andrew and Raf had a pretty good day today. 423 00:19:41,520 --> 00:19:44,120 They've had a little bit of a rocky time last week, 424 00:19:44,160 --> 00:19:46,760 but now they seem to be back on track. 425 00:19:46,800 --> 00:19:49,400 Annie and Subin. OK, their decoration might not have been 426 00:19:49,440 --> 00:19:52,120 spot-on, but when it came to their flavours and their textures? 427 00:19:52,160 --> 00:19:54,776 They've done a good job. I was super proud of them because they said 428 00:19:54,800 --> 00:19:57,800 they are not very confident with plant-based desserts. 429 00:19:57,840 --> 00:20:00,256 Then you've got Mauro and Daniel, and you could just see that they 430 00:20:00,280 --> 00:20:02,520 were so cross with themselves. 431 00:20:02,560 --> 00:20:04,200 I was disappointed. 432 00:20:04,240 --> 00:20:09,000 All chefs should be able to execute a pectin glaze. 433 00:20:09,040 --> 00:20:12,960 And also Mayank and Dharma, it's not very neat to look at. 434 00:20:13,000 --> 00:20:15,120 We've had this before. What a shame. 435 00:20:15,160 --> 00:20:16,920 So it feels like Harwoods are at the top, 436 00:20:16,960 --> 00:20:20,680 but as for the rest, it feels like they're all potentially at risk. 437 00:20:20,720 --> 00:20:24,480 So it all kind of lands on tomorrow. So tell us, what are they up to? 438 00:20:24,520 --> 00:20:28,160 Well, they have to recreate a miniature village table scene. 439 00:20:28,200 --> 00:20:31,840 The Land of the Giants. So they have to become story tellers, 440 00:20:31,880 --> 00:20:34,000 as well as being great pastry chefs. 441 00:20:34,040 --> 00:20:36,720 I'm very excited. I want drama tomorrow. 442 00:20:36,760 --> 00:20:38,200 Gigantic drama. 443 00:20:38,240 --> 00:20:40,040 I like that. Give me a five. 444 00:20:50,280 --> 00:20:53,480 The teams have one last chance to stake their claim to 445 00:20:53,520 --> 00:20:54,960 a place in the final. 446 00:20:58,040 --> 00:21:00,840 Welcome back, chefs. Just one challenge remains before 447 00:21:00,880 --> 00:21:03,560 the judges decide which three teams will make it through 448 00:21:03,600 --> 00:21:06,400 to the final. So Benny B, tell us more. 449 00:21:06,440 --> 00:21:08,400 Chefs, today you must create 450 00:21:08,440 --> 00:21:13,080 an entirely edible miniature village table scene, inspired by 451 00:21:13,120 --> 00:21:15,080 the theme Land of the Giants. 452 00:21:15,120 --> 00:21:20,560 Chef, incorporating into your table scene must be enough buche entremet 453 00:21:20,600 --> 00:21:25,000 for 40 people, along with other complementary elements. 454 00:21:25,040 --> 00:21:29,640 You must tell a compelling story, revealing your dessert one by one 455 00:21:29,680 --> 00:21:30,920 along the way. 456 00:21:30,960 --> 00:21:35,000 So make a great dessert, come up with a brilliant story 457 00:21:35,040 --> 00:21:37,760 and tell said story fantastically. 458 00:21:37,800 --> 00:21:39,720 Whoa, you've got a lot to do! 459 00:21:39,760 --> 00:21:42,440 Right, chefs, you've already had one hour to prep last night. 460 00:21:42,480 --> 00:21:44,360 You now have a further four hours 461 00:21:44,400 --> 00:21:48,080 to complete this challenge. Best of luck. Your time starts now. 462 00:21:49,600 --> 00:21:53,040 This is a showpiece of gigantic proportions. 463 00:21:53,080 --> 00:21:56,840 We've gone full-on crazy this week. Given ourselves a lot to do. 464 00:21:56,880 --> 00:22:00,440 Not only must the teams' miniature villages be entirely edible, 465 00:22:00,480 --> 00:22:03,640 but they must contain hidden treats and beautiful buche, 466 00:22:03,680 --> 00:22:05,320 a type of log cake dessert. 467 00:22:05,360 --> 00:22:07,800 We don't really do table scene. 468 00:22:07,840 --> 00:22:10,240 My soul has left my body already, so... 469 00:22:11,720 --> 00:22:13,400 This is a big one. 470 00:22:13,440 --> 00:22:17,560 Oh, 100%. The village to build and a buche as well for 40. 471 00:22:17,600 --> 00:22:19,440 For 40 people.

You know, talking about pastries going down 528 00:24:59,080 --> 00:25:02,280 the slope. It was quite romantic. 529 00:25:02,320 --> 00:25:04,880 Bringing back memories of the birth of their bromance, 530 00:25:04,920 --> 00:25:06,760 their ski village will have slopes lined 531 00:25:06,800 --> 00:25:09,680 with marshmallow and crumbly streusel topped trees, 532 00:25:09,720 --> 00:25:12,560 leading to a sticky toffee pudding apres ski bar, 533 00:25:12,600 --> 00:25:14,320 where orange liqueur jelly shots 534 00:25:14,360 --> 00:25:15,800 will sit on tables made from 535 00:25:15,840 --> 00:25:17,680 raspberry and mulled wine buche. 536 00:25:17,720 --> 00:25:20,640 What are you like on apres ski?

Overall, very good effort. 766 00:36:19,920 --> 00:36:23,600 However, we want to see a little bit more refined finishing. 767 00:36:23,640 --> 00:36:26,840 I look at the little chalet for instance. This is a bit basic, 768 00:36:26,880 --> 00:36:30,720 and those trees. Mm, lovely texture. Absolutely zero flavour. 769 00:36:30,760 --> 00:36:33,000 I don't see the point, but there's nothing wrong with 770 00:36:33,040 --> 00:36:34,200 a good sticky toffee pudding 771 00:36:34,240 --> 00:36:37,160 and you guys have brought it in a very interesting way. I love it. 772 00:36:37,200 --> 00:36:40,000 When it comes to the buche itself, there is a lovely combination 773 00:36:40,040 --> 00:36:42,560 of flavour. I think the first taste for me is mulled wine, 774 00:36:42,600 --> 00:36:45,160 and then the beautiful raspberry. 775 00:36:45,200 --> 00:36:49,440 All in all, I've enjoyed my little ski trip with you guys. 776 00:36:49,480 --> 00:36:52,880 Well done.

Yeah. 785 00:37:22,680 --> 00:37:26,000 So first they'll attack the very cute seal. 786 00:37:27,760 --> 00:37:30,600 Cos they always attack the cutest. 787 00:37:30,640 --> 00:37:33,640 Then next they'll attack a shark biscuit. 788 00:37:33,680 --> 00:37:36,800 It's seaweed cookie with soy caramel. Doo-doo-doo. 789 00:37:36,840 --> 00:37:39,720 And last they're attacking the turtle. 790 00:37:39,760 --> 00:37:44,680 Inside is the hoji tea pastry cream with blackberry compote. 791 00:37:44,720 --> 00:37:46,200 Is there anything else to attack? 792 00:37:46,240 --> 00:37:49,040 Get the rolling pin and you can smash this bus. 793 00:37:49,080 --> 00:37:50,960 Oh, la la, I like that!

I find it lots of fun. 800 00:38:09,440 --> 00:38:12,880 Having said that, what makes a village? 801 00:38:12,920 --> 00:38:16,320 House. We're stretching the brief a little bit on this one. 802 00:38:16,360 --> 00:38:19,720 When it comes to the little treats, my favourite one has to be 803 00:38:19,760 --> 00:38:21,520 the seaweed sable. Very buttery 804 00:38:21,560 --> 00:38:25,160 and that soy caramel in the middle is fantastic. 805 00:38:25,200 --> 00:38:27,600 My disappointment is those little baby seals. 806 00:38:27,640 --> 00:38:30,440 It's actually quite boring. No excitement at all. 807 00:38:30,480 --> 00:38:32,936 What a shame. If you have to cut his head off, he might as well taste 808 00:38:32,960 --> 00:38:34,160 of something. 809 00:38:34,200 --> 00:38:36,600 The turtle, I didn't really enjoy eating. 810 00:38:36,640 --> 00:38:38,600 The taste profile is really strong. 811 00:38:38,640 --> 00:38:41,160 When it comes to the dessert itself, this has 812 00:38:41,200 --> 00:38:43,640 the potential to be a fantastic dessert. 813 00:38:43,680 --> 00:38:45,640 On this occasion, though, it hasn't 814 00:38:45,680 --> 00:38:47,680 been technically executed as it should be. 815 00:38:47,720 --> 00:38:50,520 Everything is a little bit thick, everything is a little bit firm. 816 00:38:50,560 --> 00:38:52,360 It's just too much sponge for me. 817 00:38:52,400 --> 00:38:55,080 Thank you very much, guys.
