Yes. 373 00:17:35,483 --> 00:17:37,323 Black ink is so fun. 374 00:17:37,323 --> 00:17:39,203 Yeah. It's a risk, but I'm... 375 00:17:39,203 --> 00:17:41,883 Are you willing to take on...? It is risky. I'm 100% willing. 376 00:17:41,883 --> 00:17:43,243 Squid ink is really risky, but 377 00:17:43,243 --> 00:17:46,323 it's going to be really appealing to people who are at home. 378 00:17:46,323 --> 00:17:48,723 They're possibly a little bit bored of kind of pasta 379 00:17:48,723 --> 00:17:50,283 from the supermarket. 380 00:17:50,283 --> 00:17:52,563 And so they want something that's really unique. 381 00:17:52,563 --> 00:17:54,923 Gee... Oh, God, I hope we win. Oh, God. 382 00:17:57,803 --> 00:18:00,003 The winning team's dish will be available to order 383 00:18:00,003 --> 00:18:02,443 from Pasta Evangelists' website. 384 00:18:02,443 --> 00:18:04,803 So I'm heading to meet one of the founders, Finn, 385 00:18:04,803 --> 00:18:06,843 and their head chef Roberta, 386 00:18:06,843 --> 00:18:08,643 to discover what they'll be looking for. 387 00:18:08,643 --> 00:18:10,883 Oh, hello! Buongiorno, Gordon! 388 00:18:10,883 --> 00:18:12,803 How are we? Nice to see you both. 389 00:18:12,803 --> 00:18:14,523 This company started six years ago 390 00:18:14,523 --> 00:18:17,163 selling portions of gnocchi to friends. 391 00:18:17,163 --> 00:18:20,843 They now sell over 50,000 portions of pasta a week. 392 00:18:22,163 --> 00:18:24,123 How do you stay ahead of the competition? 393 00:18:24,123 --> 00:18:26,043 We have lots of Italians in the business 394 00:18:26,043 --> 00:18:27,683 who make sure we stay authentic. 395 00:18:27,683 --> 00:18:31,643 But we believe in, you know, going with the times. 396 00:18:31,643 --> 00:18:33,483 New ingredients, innovation. 397 00:18:33,483 --> 00:18:35,363 What do our contenders need to look for 398 00:18:35,363 --> 00:18:37,043 and what should they stay away from? 399 00:18:37,043 --> 00:18:40,123 The thickness of the pasta, it is very important. 400 00:18:40,123 --> 00:18:43,043 If it's too thick, the pasta always expands when you cook. 401 00:18:43,043 --> 00:18:44,643 And many people don't understand. 402 00:18:44,643 --> 00:18:46,203 They need to be ambitious. 403 00:18:46,203 --> 00:18:49,803 They need to be bold, you know. Dishes that aren't too basic. 404 00:18:49,803 --> 00:18:51,883 We always say, we don't want any pasta 405 00:18:51,883 --> 00:18:53,963 that you would find in a supermarket. 406 00:18:53,963 --> 00:18:57,403 No. Roberta, I have a friend that's been, you know, a foodie 407 00:18:57,403 --> 00:18:58,803 for the last 20 years. 408 00:18:58,803 --> 00:19:01,843 And I'd love you to show him how to make authentic pasta. 409 00:19:01,843 --> 00:19:03,763 Absolutely. From the heart. Yeah? 410 00:19:03,763 --> 00:19:06,003 His name is Gino D'Acampo. THEY LAUGH 411 00:19:06,003 --> 00:19:08,283 And...would you give him a lesson? Absolutely. 412 00:19:08,283 --> 00:19:10,083 Grazie mille. Prego. 413 00:19:11,283 --> 00:19:14,083 Recipes decided, the teams must be able to replicate 414 00:19:14,083 --> 00:19:16,403 these dishes in their demo tomorrow. 415 00:19:16,403 --> 00:19:19,563 So in terms of elements, we've got the pasta, 416 00:19:19,563 --> 00:19:22,043 the puree, which is going to just be a pea puree. 417 00:19:22,043 --> 00:19:24,523 We're going to sprinkle Parmesan on top. 418 00:19:24,523 --> 00:19:26,883 I was going to put it standing up to give it a bit of height. 419 00:19:26,883 --> 00:19:28,643 I think that'll look really striking. 420 00:19:28,643 --> 00:19:30,643 We're going seafood ravioli 421 00:19:30,643 --> 00:19:33,563 with your samphire, and then maybe, like, a Parmesan crisp. 422 00:19:33,563 --> 00:19:35,563 It's a stretch. There is a risk that 423 00:19:35,563 --> 00:19:38,763 people couldn't create every component in the dish. 424 00:19:42,083 --> 00:19:44,523 So are you doing the filling now? Yes. 425 00:19:44,523 --> 00:19:46,643 Pecorino, parmigiano. 426 00:19:46,643 --> 00:19:48,003 And lots of pepper. 427 00:19:48,003 --> 00:19:50,523 Right, I need you to taste as well. 428 00:19:50,523 --> 00:19:53,363 Do you know what? Genuinely, I think it's too basic. 429 00:19:54,643 --> 00:19:58,283 I'm thinking of adding... a salmon to it. 430 00:19:58,283 --> 00:20:01,763 I'm making sure I listen to Valentina, who has experience. 431 00:20:01,763 --> 00:20:04,443 She's told me it's a very traditional dish, but I'm just like, 432 00:20:04,443 --> 00:20:05,723 it's a bit plain. 433 00:20:05,723 --> 00:20:06,843 Why salmon? 434 00:20:06,843 --> 00:20:08,723 When I think about Italy, I think about... 435 00:20:08,723 --> 00:20:09,963 No. I tell you right now. 436 00:20:09,963 --> 00:20:12,123 You're more likely to find kind of nice sea bass 437 00:20:12,123 --> 00:20:14,323 to share with your family rather than a salmon. OK. 438 00:20:14,323 --> 00:20:19,323 So I'm just a little bit concerned that Victoria come up constantly 439 00:20:19,323 --> 00:20:22,043 with, "How about we add this? How about we add that?" 440 00:20:22,043 --> 00:20:23,883 So, you know, I think I will need to make sure 441 00:20:23,883 --> 00:20:25,723 that I keep her contained. 442 00:20:28,123 --> 00:20:29,443 Is that the right colour? 443 00:20:29,443 --> 00:20:32,763 The teams have to perfect their pasta dough recipe today... 444 00:20:32,763 --> 00:20:36,083 Does that look like black or does that look like cack? 445 00:20:36,083 --> 00:20:39,083 ..so it can be upscaled overnight for tomorrow's demos. 446 00:20:39,083 --> 00:20:42,363 All right. Moment of truth with this pasta. 447 00:20:42,363 --> 00:20:44,083 Too thick or too sticky, 448 00:20:44,083 --> 00:20:47,243 and it will be impossible to mass-produce. 449 00:20:47,243 --> 00:20:52,283 It just doesn't like this machine. 450 00:20:52,283 --> 00:20:54,203 Oh, shit a brick! 451 00:20:54,203 --> 00:20:57,363 It is so unbelievably sticky. 452 00:20:57,363 --> 00:20:59,243 Maybe add a bit more flour? Yeah. 453 00:20:59,243 --> 00:21:02,043 Oh, this is stunning. This is good. 454 00:21:02,043 --> 00:21:03,603 This is really good. 455 00:21:03,603 --> 00:21:07,243 No holes. Nice and smooth. 456 00:21:07,243 --> 00:21:09,083 Mother crusher! 457 00:21:10,523 --> 00:21:11,763 Mother! 458 00:21:13,643 --> 00:21:15,163 Oh! OK. 459 00:21:15,163 --> 00:21:18,963 I am freaking out because the pasta, it's really sticky. 460 00:21:18,963 --> 00:21:21,963 So every time I run it through, it gets stuck and then it rips it up. 461 00:21:21,963 --> 00:21:24,003 Arses. Arses! 462 00:21:25,163 --> 00:21:28,243 This is going to be fun, demoing this! 463 00:21:28,243 --> 00:21:31,163 With less than an hour remaining to hone their recipes, 464 00:21:31,163 --> 00:21:34,163 I'm heading in to see how they're doing. 465 00:21:34,163 --> 00:21:35,403 Right. How are we doing? 466 00:21:35,403 --> 00:21:36,923 Yeah, good. Good! Thank you. 467 00:21:36,923 --> 00:21:40,763 Basically, we are doing a filling of almost like a cacio e pepe. 468 00:21:40,763 --> 00:21:42,603 Cheese and pepper, very basic. 469 00:21:42,603 --> 00:21:44,163 Yeah. It's the semifinal. 470 00:21:44,163 --> 00:21:45,683 Put your best foot forward. 471 00:21:45,683 --> 00:21:47,883 Yeah. Think how we elevate this. So you've sort of... 472 00:21:47,883 --> 00:21:51,603 Cheese and pepper, it's been done a million times, so lift that. 473 00:21:51,603 --> 00:21:54,043 My idea is to put some smoked salmon in there. 474 00:21:54,043 --> 00:21:57,243 I think you're panicking that what we're doing is not enough. 475 00:21:57,243 --> 00:21:58,643 Yeah, it's a bit basic. Yes. 476 00:21:58,643 --> 00:22:02,923 But we're not starting adding stuff because salmon would not work. 477 00:22:02,923 --> 00:22:05,843 No? I don't think so. OK. Personally. 478 00:22:05,843 --> 00:22:07,643 I can't decide for you. 479 00:22:07,643 --> 00:22:10,403 I just need you both to come up with one amazing dish. Yes.

It's the dish that's going to suffer. 491 00:22:32,563 --> 00:22:36,043 We have to have something that's going to take it to that next level. 492 00:22:36,043 --> 00:22:37,923 Right, OK, let's just step back. 493 00:22:39,483 --> 00:22:42,243 So that's...that's our ravioli.

And it's got squid ink. 497 00:22:51,323 --> 00:22:53,963 What's the sauce? Pea and... Lemon. 498 00:22:53,963 --> 00:22:55,363 Right, so that's... And parsley. 499 00:22:55,363 --> 00:22:57,763 Super ambitious idea. Yeah. OK? 500 00:22:57,763 --> 00:22:59,363 A lot of stages that you can trip up on. 501 00:22:59,363 --> 00:23:02,083 Remember, it's a 45-minute masterclass. 502 00:23:02,083 --> 00:23:05,203 Can you deliver it to a bunch of students? 503 00:23:05,203 --> 00:23:07,403 OK.

Extraordinary. 507 00:23:17,803 --> 00:23:19,403 That's a lot to execute. 508 00:23:19,403 --> 00:23:23,123 One issue across that demo and the whole thing can be tumbling down. 509 00:23:23,123 --> 00:23:25,803 It is ambitious, but it's about the execution. 510 00:23:25,803 --> 00:23:28,883 So we need to kind of break it down into really easy steps. 511 00:23:28,883 --> 00:23:32,043 In the demonstration, I think it's really important to get across that 512 00:23:32,043 --> 00:23:33,723 this is simple and you can make this. 513 00:23:33,723 --> 00:23:37,803 And so it will just be like, boil the peas, add a lemon, add parsley. 514 00:23:37,803 --> 00:23:40,323 We'll definitely have to do that together. 515 00:23:40,323 --> 00:23:43,963 I'm absolutely freaking out about doing the school tomorrow. 516 00:23:43,963 --> 00:23:47,083 Because usually I'm an expert at what I'm going to be teaching. 517 00:23:47,083 --> 00:23:48,563 I'm not an expert pasta maker. 518 00:23:48,563 --> 00:23:51,443 SIGHS This is actually quite stressful. 519 00:23:51,443 --> 00:23:54,963 I just want another couple of days to practise before I show students. 520 00:23:54,963 --> 00:23:56,923 I know I can teach, but if that pasta's wrong, 521 00:23:56,923 --> 00:23:58,883 then how do you come back from that? 522 00:24:00,403 --> 00:24:03,483 While the red team still struggle with their pasta dough... 523 00:24:03,483 --> 00:24:06,603 I just need to understand precisely what we're doing. 524 00:24:06,603 --> 00:24:08,003 What would it be? 525 00:24:08,003 --> 00:24:11,603 ..it's back to the drawing board for the blue team. 526 00:24:11,603 --> 00:24:14,203 How about we do a completely vegan one? OK. 527 00:24:14,203 --> 00:24:16,883 Because it's not something that you would normally buy. Yes. 528 00:24:16,883 --> 00:24:18,803 It's something that you're keen to try. 529 00:24:18,803 --> 00:24:20,603 And if we nail it... Yes. 530 00:24:20,603 --> 00:24:22,883 ..it's so tasty that you would not expect it. 531 00:24:22,883 --> 00:24:24,843 We have a dough which is beetroot-based, 532 00:24:24,843 --> 00:24:27,403 so it's colourful, it's catching, it's wow. 533 00:24:27,403 --> 00:24:29,763 We should have gone for beetroot at the beginning. 534 00:24:29,763 --> 00:24:32,843 It has stressed me out having to do a 180 in the semifinal. 535 00:24:32,843 --> 00:24:35,643 Have to get stuck in and make sure we deliver. 536 00:24:35,643 --> 00:24:36,963 Get in the game. 537 00:24:39,083 --> 00:24:42,883 The teams need to finalise their methods and create a recipe card, 538 00:24:42,883 --> 00:24:46,243 complete with clear cookalong instructions, for their demos. 539 00:24:46,243 --> 00:24:49,923 I'm making a soffritto. Because we're doing this for people, 540 00:24:49,923 --> 00:24:52,003 let's make sure we've got all the measurements. 541 00:24:52,003 --> 00:24:53,443 Now, let's have a little play. 542 00:24:53,443 --> 00:24:56,723 Do you want me to write down some of the...

With just 45 minutes to demonstrate the recipes... 745 00:33:34,323 --> 00:33:37,323 We're going to start off by just preparing the crab. 746 00:33:37,323 --> 00:33:41,043 ..their instructions need to be clear, precise and engaging. 747 00:33:41,043 --> 00:33:43,803 Add our mascarpone and our ricotta. 748 00:33:43,803 --> 00:33:45,963 Let's squeeze the lemon all in now. 749 00:33:45,963 --> 00:33:48,523 So it should start to look like a mousse. 750 00:33:48,523 --> 00:33:51,123 So we're going to now work on the other elements, 751 00:33:51,123 --> 00:33:55,083 which is the lemon puree and the Parmesan crisp. 752 00:33:55,083 --> 00:33:57,683 Let's crack on. So we're taking our pan 753 00:33:57,683 --> 00:34:00,403 and then we're going to add the onions. 754 00:34:00,403 --> 00:34:05,923 Then we're going to put our carrots and we're putting our celery. 755 00:34:05,923 --> 00:34:10,243 It's very important we don't rush this, like when we're cooking, 756 00:34:10,243 --> 00:34:13,523 the most important things is the love is the passion we put 757 00:34:13,523 --> 00:34:15,403 in the food. You have to have fun. 758 00:34:18,123 --> 00:34:22,363 Steph's going to show you the steps of how to make this Parmesan crisp. 759 00:34:22,363 --> 00:34:24,043 Off you go. Steph. Oh. 760 00:34:25,643 --> 00:34:29,003 Um, we need to, um... 761 00:34:31,083 --> 00:34:35,043 ..fill your pans halfway to the top with water. 762 00:34:36,683 --> 00:34:41,203 Take our frozen peas. And we're going to put those in the water. 763 00:34:42,403 --> 00:34:44,003 Smile. OK? 764 00:34:44,003 --> 00:34:47,043 Remember, we're here to enlighten them, OK? Not frighten them. 765 00:34:47,043 --> 00:34:49,883 So we're just going to strain those peas. 766 00:34:49,883 --> 00:34:52,603 And then, once they've been strained, let's get them straight 767 00:34:52,603 --> 00:34:55,563 into that...blender. 768 00:34:55,563 --> 00:34:59,283 Of course, you can't have Italian food without pasta. 769 00:34:59,283 --> 00:35:02,483 And this is a vegan pasta, so we don't have any eggs in here. 770 00:35:02,483 --> 00:35:06,283 And when this comes together, it's this amazing beetroot colour. 771 00:35:06,283 --> 00:35:10,003 The blue team's demo is in full swing, but I've just noticed 772 00:35:10,003 --> 00:35:11,883 a problem with their card. 773 00:35:13,003 --> 00:35:16,083 Where's the method? This is the method for the sauce 774 00:35:16,083 --> 00:35:18,723 and the filling. No, but where's the method for rolling the pasta? 775 00:35:18,723 --> 00:35:19,883 It's not on there. Why not? 776 00:35:19,883 --> 00:35:23,323 Without a written method, there's absolutely no room for error 777 00:35:23,323 --> 00:35:25,283 with their instructions to the class. 778 00:35:25,283 --> 00:35:27,243 OK, so now you've got your pasta. 779 00:35:27,243 --> 00:35:28,723 It's going great. 780 00:35:28,723 --> 00:35:30,803 The only things I can see is that you need a little bit 781 00:35:30,803 --> 00:35:33,803 of flour... Fantastico. ..because you don't want that to stick. 782 00:35:33,803 --> 00:35:37,363 OK, so you should be on a one now. I'm going to help you with that. 783 00:35:37,363 --> 00:35:39,563 We're just going to... Passing it through. 784 00:35:39,563 --> 00:35:42,323 Valentina needs to be quiet so they can hear you. 785 00:35:42,323 --> 00:35:44,683 Where are you from in Italy? I'm from Rome. 786 00:35:44,683 --> 00:35:47,803 Valentina? Yeah, but I'm also from Sardinia and Emilia-Romagna. 787 00:35:47,803 --> 00:35:49,163 Valentina? 788 00:35:49,163 --> 00:35:52,963 How can anyone hear you? Valentina? Yes? Victoria, Victoria, 789 00:35:52,963 --> 00:35:55,043 we're talking over each other. 790 00:35:55,043 --> 00:35:57,483 They've got no idea what the actual point is. 791 00:35:57,483 --> 00:36:00,203 When you talk over each other, they're not learning anything. 792 00:36:01,763 --> 00:36:06,683 The red team are two-thirds of the way through their 45-minute demo... 793 00:36:08,723 --> 00:36:11,683 ..and they've only just started rolling out their dough. 794 00:36:11,683 --> 00:36:14,483 Right, we're going to really crack on because we want to make sure 795 00:36:14,483 --> 00:36:17,003 that we get something for you to eat. Go for it! 796 00:36:17,003 --> 00:36:18,443 Good! Excellent. 797 00:36:18,443 --> 00:36:21,483 See, that'? Just try to catch it at the bottom. Let's go down two. 798 00:36:21,483 --> 00:36:23,323 So we want to roll it out. 799 00:36:23,323 --> 00:36:25,163 Shall we end it with a one? 800 00:36:25,163 --> 00:36:26,523 What are you on now? 801 00:36:26,523 --> 00:36:28,443 Go down two. So let's go three. 802 00:36:28,443 --> 00:36:30,003 So we're going to three? 803 00:36:30,003 --> 00:36:32,563 I'm at six, and now you want me to go to one? 804 00:36:32,563 --> 00:36:34,483 Yeah, so we're going down to three. 805 00:36:34,483 --> 00:36:37,163 So, are you happy with three? Let's go six to three. 806 00:36:41,203 --> 00:36:44,923 Get your filling and you just place that right in the middle. 807 00:36:44,923 --> 00:36:48,243 A teaspoon in the middle. Actually, what we're going to do now, 808 00:36:48,243 --> 00:36:51,763 sorry, I think Victoria got a little bit too excited because obviously 809 00:36:51,763 --> 00:36:53,363 this is so exciting. Oh, my God. 810 00:36:53,363 --> 00:36:55,763 I want you to put these into a bowl 811 00:36:55,763 --> 00:36:57,923 because we need to add our cream cheese. 812 00:36:57,923 --> 00:37:00,483 Valentina? Yes? Put that down. 813 00:37:00,483 --> 00:37:02,483 Come here. Just stand over there. 814 00:37:12,163 --> 00:37:13,283 I don't know. 815 00:37:19,123 --> 00:37:21,363 If you do six and then you'll know that you have something 816 00:37:21,363 --> 00:37:22,483 on your plate. 817 00:37:22,483 --> 00:37:24,963 The reason I'm speeding up a bit is because the clock... 818 00:37:24,963 --> 00:37:27,163 How are we doing? 55 minutes in. 819 00:37:27,163 --> 00:37:29,923 OK, so if we've all got three raviolis in front of us, we're now 820 00:37:29,923 --> 00:37:31,603 going to put it in our boiling water. 821 00:37:31,603 --> 00:37:34,843 And while that's boiling, we're going to prepare our plates. 822 00:37:34,843 --> 00:37:36,843 Now for the final stage of the demo. 823 00:37:38,483 --> 00:37:40,283 The presentations. 824 00:37:40,283 --> 00:37:43,163 So it should be a nice, wet, creamy sauce. 825 00:37:44,803 --> 00:37:47,723 Our one's a little bit dry, but no worries. 826 00:37:53,683 --> 00:37:56,883 What I'd like to ask both of you, is this your best? No. No. 827 00:37:58,043 --> 00:37:59,163 Absolutely not. 828 00:38:00,563 --> 00:38:02,963 There were lots of things that didn't go as planned. 829 00:38:02,963 --> 00:38:05,643 I might not be the best communicator on the planet. 830 00:38:05,643 --> 00:38:08,563 However, it's very hard to communicate with someone 831 00:38:08,563 --> 00:38:10,283 that doesn't want to listen. 832 00:38:10,283 --> 00:38:13,243 So you put some in the middle, you put some around the edges, 833 00:38:13,243 --> 00:38:15,603 and then, the next thing you want to do... 834 00:38:15,603 --> 00:38:16,883 Is put it in the bin. 835 00:38:16,883 --> 00:38:18,403 And then there you go. 836 00:38:18,403 --> 00:38:22,403 This is your Vicino tortellini dish. 837 00:38:23,683 --> 00:38:26,123 I'm very disappointed in how it went. 838 00:38:26,123 --> 00:38:28,603 It was very difficult working with Valentina 839 00:38:28,603 --> 00:38:30,483 while she's talking over me. 840 00:38:30,483 --> 00:38:33,403 Thank you. Oh, my Lord. 841 00:38:35,203 --> 00:38:38,923 1 hour into the 45-minute class... Clear down, presentation, 842 00:38:38,923 --> 00:38:41,043 now, this is the end, this is the finale, 843 00:38:41,043 --> 00:38:43,603 this is the wow factor. What's exactly on the cards, guys, 844 00:38:43,603 --> 00:38:44,683 come on, let's go. Speed up. 845 00:38:44,683 --> 00:38:47,163 The red team are finally ready to plate up. 846 00:38:47,163 --> 00:38:50,363 I don't know whether you can sense it, but there's a sense of urgency. 847 00:38:50,363 --> 00:38:53,643 I was hoping that Leah would realise the time constraints 848 00:38:53,643 --> 00:38:55,243 on a 45-minute class, 849 00:38:55,243 --> 00:38:58,243 having taught in a school. I think she fell a bit short 850 00:38:58,243 --> 00:38:59,723 of what I was hoping for. 851 00:38:59,723 --> 00:39:02,123 OK, guys, finish those plates. One at a time, please come 852 00:39:02,123 --> 00:39:04,643 and place your raviolis at the front here, please. Thank you. 853 00:39:04,643 --> 00:39:08,963 We ran out of time, yes. The plates were not perfect. 854 00:39:08,963 --> 00:39:10,603 Jesus, what happened there? 855 00:39:10,603 --> 00:39:12,683 Burst. They've all burst. 856 00:39:12,683 --> 00:39:16,163 It was a lot harder than I definitely thought, 857 00:39:16,163 --> 00:39:18,883 but I'm still proud of what we did. 858 00:39:18,883 --> 00:39:20,883 Leah, Steph, well done. 859 00:39:20,883 --> 00:39:22,483 Thank you. Thank you very much. 860 00:39:23,963 --> 00:39:25,203 Whew! 861 00:39:26,683 --> 00:39:29,443 OK. Oh, my God, I can't believe that! 862 00:39:29,443 --> 00:39:31,683 That, for me, was like chaos. 863 00:39:31,683 --> 00:39:34,643 Like, next to me going, "You've got 45 seconds." 864 00:39:34,643 --> 00:39:37,323 And then I was like, "The samphire! Agh!" 865 00:39:37,323 --> 00:39:39,483 Yeah, cos I was meant to do the samphire. 866 00:39:39,483 --> 00:39:42,283 We took a risk, we knew we were, we were making it fancy. 867 00:39:42,283 --> 00:39:44,203 We had maybe too many elements. 868 00:39:44,203 --> 00:39:49,643 I feel like we did fine, but it's the semifinal, and is "fine" OK? 869 00:39:50,843 --> 00:39:53,283 That didn't go great. I think we did well, 870 00:39:53,283 --> 00:39:57,083 however, there were some obvious things that Gordon picked up on. 871 00:39:57,083 --> 00:39:59,123 Our tomato sauce, it was too dry. 872 00:39:59,123 --> 00:40:01,963 We didn't want to add the extra passata at the end. 873 00:40:01,963 --> 00:40:05,203 You think that the problem we had is the passata? 874 00:40:05,203 --> 00:40:06,683 You are unbelievable! OK... 875 00:40:06,683 --> 00:40:09,483 I love how you're creating your own narrative... OK, this... 876 00:40:09,483 --> 00:40:13,203 ..to make it sound that it's my fault! 877 00:40:14,403 --> 00:40:17,523 For her to tell me all the things that went wrong for her were 878 00:40:17,523 --> 00:40:20,563 all the things I did! We didn't have instruction. 879 00:40:20,563 --> 00:40:23,083 We missed, like half of the recipe wasn't there. 880 00:40:23,083 --> 00:40:27,883 There was so much wrong there. We fail to work well as a team. 881 00:40:27,883 --> 00:40:30,683 Full stop. That's the end of it. Now it's done. 882 00:40:30,683 --> 00:40:33,483 It's been hard to work with her. It's been very hard. 883 00:40:37,883 --> 00:40:39,483 Demos over, 884 00:40:39,483 --> 00:40:42,643 I want to find out what Finn and Roberta think of the team's 885 00:40:42,643 --> 00:40:44,483 recipes and presentations. 886 00:40:44,483 --> 00:40:48,003 Right, let's start off with Leah and Steph. 887 00:40:48,003 --> 00:40:50,603 Well, it was way too long. They've given themselves 888 00:40:50,603 --> 00:40:53,003 a real challenge here. Yeah. Real challenge. 889 00:40:53,003 --> 00:40:55,883 My worry at the top of this was it was too complicated. 890 00:40:55,883 --> 00:40:58,603 Yeah. It started off well and then the wheels fell off halfway through. 891 00:40:58,603 --> 00:41:00,483 It was informative, 892 00:41:00,483 --> 00:41:02,723 but the big question for me was it didn't feel 893 00:41:02,723 --> 00:41:05,763 very entertaining because it just went on forever. No. Yeah. 894 00:41:05,763 --> 00:41:06,963 It was very instructional, 895 00:41:06,963 --> 00:41:09,003 it was very functional, but it lacked warmth. 896 00:41:09,003 --> 00:41:11,243 Yeah. It felt very much that I was at a, you know, 897 00:41:11,243 --> 00:41:13,043 in a technology class back at school. 898 00:41:13,043 --> 00:41:14,443 They just got too stressed. 899 00:41:14,443 --> 00:41:19,043 And so they couldn't really give me the feeling of being relaxed. 900 00:41:19,043 --> 00:41:21,723 Shall we dig in, have in a little taste? Absolutely. Let's have a go. 901 00:41:21,723 --> 00:41:23,323 Roberta, let's taste yours. 902 00:41:26,963 --> 00:41:30,563 I can't...I can't really taste the lemon into the crab. 903 00:41:30,563 --> 00:41:32,203 It was just a little bit too complex. 904 00:41:32,203 --> 00:41:34,563 And the hero was the pasta - that got lost in translation. 905 00:41:34,563 --> 00:41:37,323 Yeah. I like the flavour of the crab. I love the squid ink. 906 00:41:37,323 --> 00:41:41,403 The big question is, have they sort of overcomplicated this dish? 907 00:41:41,403 --> 00:41:44,083 Are there elements it could have done without in order to make 908 00:41:44,083 --> 00:41:45,483 the hero become more apparent? 909 00:41:45,483 --> 00:41:48,043 It was a classic case of biting off more than one could chew. 910 00:41:48,043 --> 00:41:50,403 I mean, there are some elements on the plate that could 911 00:41:50,403 --> 00:41:53,403 have been forgotten so we could have gotten everything done 912 00:41:53,403 --> 00:41:55,163 in a more calm way. Absolutely. Mm. 913 00:41:56,323 --> 00:41:59,883 Right, shall we talk about Valentina and Victoria? 914 00:41:59,883 --> 00:42:02,003 I got excited about the beetroot pasta. Yes. 915 00:42:02,003 --> 00:42:05,123 When you look at that sort of burgeoning sort of sector 916 00:42:05,123 --> 00:42:08,323 of the vegan... Absolutely right. ..pasta. It's a huge market. 917 00:42:08,323 --> 00:42:10,843 Smart move. But when they talk over each other, 918 00:42:10,843 --> 00:42:12,483 how can the class get educated? 919 00:42:12,483 --> 00:42:15,163 But the two unfortunately didn't work together in a cohesive way 920 00:42:15,163 --> 00:42:17,643 and they didn't show any sort of team spirit. 921 00:42:17,643 --> 00:42:19,363 Could you feel that? You could feel it. 922 00:42:19,363 --> 00:42:21,083 That's when it became uncomfortable. 923 00:42:21,083 --> 00:42:23,523 What we were missing was half the method. 924 00:42:23,523 --> 00:42:25,443 And of course, when you start off a demo like that, 925 00:42:25,443 --> 00:42:28,963 "This is on, this is off, sugar here, no pepper there," 926 00:42:28,963 --> 00:42:30,923 it just got confusing. Yeah. 927 00:42:30,923 --> 00:42:32,843 They were both vying to control the class. 928 00:42:32,843 --> 00:42:35,723 They weren't helping each other with the guests. 929 00:42:35,723 --> 00:42:37,083 And that was palpable. 930 00:42:37,083 --> 00:42:38,563 Shall we dig in? 931 00:42:40,243 --> 00:42:41,643 Mm. Mm! 932 00:42:44,483 --> 00:42:45,843 That is obliterated. 933 00:42:45,843 --> 00:42:47,403 So, the veg is raw. 934 00:42:47,403 --> 00:42:49,803 You don't cook the soffritto in 45 minutes. 935 00:42:49,803 --> 00:42:52,603 Soffritto is something that you do for hours. 936 00:42:52,603 --> 00:42:54,523 Can you taste the smoked paprika? Yeah. 937 00:42:54,523 --> 00:42:56,163 Why so much? Not in a pleasant way. 938 00:42:56,163 --> 00:42:58,363 If you're going to use smoked paprika, it needs 939 00:42:58,363 --> 00:43:01,403 to go in early to burn off. I know that was difficult for both of you 940 00:43:01,403 --> 00:43:04,083 across both demos, but you've been amazing students. Thank you. 941 00:43:04,083 --> 00:43:06,803 Grazie mille. Grazie mille. Thank you for having us. Grazie. 942 00:43:09,123 --> 00:43:11,643 It's been a tough few days, and there's nothing more 943 00:43:11,643 --> 00:43:13,323 anyone can do. 944 00:43:13,323 --> 00:43:17,123 Tomorrow, I'll decide who will be in my finale. 945 00:43:46,883 --> 00:43:48,363 OK... 946 00:43:54,243 --> 00:43:55,963 Ladies, how are we feeling? 947 00:43:55,963 --> 00:43:59,043 Good, thank you. Semifinal week, a big week. 948 00:43:59,043 --> 00:44:01,843 Now, this week was all about being future facing. 949 00:44:01,843 --> 00:44:06,123 You need to prove to me every week that you can constantly evolve 950 00:44:06,123 --> 00:44:09,323 and stay ahead of trends. For your first challenge, 951 00:44:09,323 --> 00:44:12,563 I asked all of you to create an amazing social-media video 952 00:44:12,563 --> 00:44:14,763 promoting veganism. 953 00:44:14,763 --> 00:44:16,523 Now, two good videos. 954 00:44:17,563 --> 00:44:23,163 Both teams impressed the judges, but in this instance, they went 955 00:44:23,163 --> 00:44:27,163 for Valentina and Victoria's efforts. So, ladies, well done. 956 00:44:29,923 --> 00:44:33,843 For your second challenge, I asked you to come up with a dish 957 00:44:33,843 --> 00:44:38,203 for the pasta delivery company that could go on their website. 958 00:44:38,203 --> 00:44:42,043 Right, let's start off with Leah and Steph. 959 00:44:42,043 --> 00:44:46,283 What stood out was the fact there were so many elements. Yeah. Mm-hm. 960 00:44:46,283 --> 00:44:48,163 It felt intimidating. 961 00:44:48,163 --> 00:44:49,963 It needed to be simple enough 962 00:44:49,963 --> 00:44:53,203 for individuals to replicate at home. Yeah. 963 00:44:53,203 --> 00:44:54,363 Yes. 964 00:44:54,363 --> 00:44:56,243 The live masterclass, 965 00:44:56,243 --> 00:44:58,003 it was too complicated. 966 00:44:58,003 --> 00:45:02,763 Sure. Steph, you seem visibly nervous. Um, at times 967 00:45:02,763 --> 00:45:05,443 you were like the sort of deer in headlights. 968 00:45:05,443 --> 00:45:08,843 Um, I felt like there were a lot of people to get around and... 969 00:45:08,843 --> 00:45:11,563 But, yeah, probably too ambitious. 970 00:45:12,963 --> 00:45:16,003 Both of you missed the element of having fun with this. 971 00:45:16,003 --> 00:45:17,603 We need the personality to shine. 972 00:45:17,603 --> 00:45:18,763 I did feel like I was fun 973 00:45:18,763 --> 00:45:21,403 and there was lots of banter and there was lots of joy. 974 00:45:21,403 --> 00:45:24,243 And personally, in my head, I felt like I was trying to be fun. 975 00:45:24,243 --> 00:45:26,763 Let's be honest... But clearly I wasn't. There was 976 00:45:26,763 --> 00:45:28,483 so much to get through. 977 00:45:28,483 --> 00:45:30,163 Right, 978 00:45:30,163 --> 00:45:35,083 Valentina and Victoria, the vegan take on that pasta dish. 979 00:45:35,083 --> 00:45:36,963 Talking at length with the experts, 980 00:45:36,963 --> 00:45:40,043 they said that there are insufficient vegan recipes, 981 00:45:40,043 --> 00:45:43,123 and whenever a hit comes up, it goes gangbusters. 982 00:45:43,123 --> 00:45:46,883 They thought that niche in the market was a smart move. 983 00:45:46,883 --> 00:45:48,563 Mm-hm. OK? Yes. 984 00:45:48,563 --> 00:45:50,963 Right, shall we talk about the card? 985 00:45:50,963 --> 00:45:54,323 The card I read, it was full of inconsistencies, ingredients 986 00:45:54,323 --> 00:45:57,803 that shouldn't have been on there, no timings, no methods, 987 00:45:57,803 --> 00:46:02,803 and most importantly, you were missing the pasta cooking step. 988 00:46:02,803 --> 00:46:04,643 How is that possible? 989 00:46:04,643 --> 00:46:07,163 We were sat writing the recipe card, 990 00:46:07,163 --> 00:46:09,843 and every time she would not let me do, 991 00:46:09,843 --> 00:46:12,963 so at some point I was physically on the laptop 992 00:46:12,963 --> 00:46:14,683 and she took the laptop... 993 00:46:14,683 --> 00:46:18,203 Yes, I did. ..out of my hands, and she will completely ignore me 994 00:46:18,203 --> 00:46:19,403 and just go solo. Yep. 995 00:46:19,403 --> 00:46:23,683 So at some point I just left. A team of two became a team of one. 996 00:46:23,683 --> 00:46:26,003 She started deleting what I had wrote, 997 00:46:26,003 --> 00:46:28,043 so I had to take the thing from her. 998 00:46:28,043 --> 00:46:31,123 She stormed off and then decided not to come back, 999 00:46:31,123 --> 00:46:33,563 so I was left doing it all on my own. 1000 00:46:34,763 --> 00:46:37,363 Let's move on. Let's talk about the demo. 1001 00:46:37,363 --> 00:46:39,243 I felt it difficult. 1002 00:46:39,243 --> 00:46:43,083 We lost momentum and our students disengaged. 1003 00:46:43,083 --> 00:46:47,563 But the one big issue we had is that you both were talking 1004 00:46:47,563 --> 00:46:49,043 over one another. 1005 00:46:49,043 --> 00:46:51,723 If you two aren't connected like that, 1006 00:46:51,723 --> 00:46:54,403 what the hell do you think that experience is like 1007 00:46:54,403 --> 00:46:56,483 for our students? Absolutely.

Thank you. Right... 1069 00:50:00,763 --> 00:50:03,163 What a week. Yesterday. Yes. 1070 00:50:03,163 --> 00:50:04,923 How did that go so pear-shaped? 1071 00:50:04,923 --> 00:50:09,203 I was working with Valentina, who is very irrational. 1072 00:50:09,203 --> 00:50:11,803 Genuinely, I ended up being a team on my own 1073 00:50:11,803 --> 00:50:14,123 because every time I asserted myself 1074 00:50:14,123 --> 00:50:16,683 to let Valentina know we need to refocus, 1075 00:50:16,683 --> 00:50:19,563 she would just storm off. Other times 1076 00:50:19,563 --> 00:50:21,523 she would just flare up all of a sudden. 1077 00:50:21,523 --> 00:50:23,043 So I had to manage her. 1078 00:50:23,043 --> 00:50:25,363 It was genuinely like dealing with a toddler. 1079 00:50:27,043 --> 00:50:30,003 I expected you yesterday to take control of that. 1080 00:50:30,003 --> 00:50:32,043 We're heading south. It wasn't going well. Yeah. 1081 00:50:32,043 --> 00:50:35,923 You're a passionate individual. Why not regroup, refocus... Right. 1082 00:50:35,923 --> 00:50:40,083 ..and grab hold of a situation that was going south quickly? 1083 00:50:40,083 --> 00:50:41,843 It's a building up of an emotion. 1084 00:50:41,843 --> 00:50:45,363 It's a building up of, like... What is? ..not working together well 1085 00:50:45,363 --> 00:50:47,883 with the other person. Right. Did you give up? 1086 00:50:47,883 --> 00:50:50,403 I didn't. Even like three minutes before the demo, 1087 00:50:50,403 --> 00:50:52,923 I said to her, "Valentina, we have to get it together. 1088 00:50:52,923 --> 00:50:54,243 "Let's get on the same page." 1089 00:50:54,243 --> 00:50:56,763 She's argued with everybody in this competition. 1090 00:50:56,763 --> 00:51:00,883 I'm just slightly concerned that there's a thread about 1091 00:51:00,883 --> 00:51:03,683 your sort of working relationship. Why is that, 1092 00:51:03,683 --> 00:51:07,963 that other team members have been sort of less excited 1093 00:51:07,963 --> 00:51:09,763 to be part of your team? 1094 00:51:09,763 --> 00:51:13,883 Obviously, like, you know, I'm not an easy person to deal with 1095 00:51:13,883 --> 00:51:18,083 all the time. I'm sometimes faisty...feisty, 1096 00:51:18,083 --> 00:51:21,123 but I am incredibly honest. 1097 00:51:21,123 --> 00:51:22,883 I'm a super-hard worker. 1098 00:51:22,883 --> 00:51:25,403 I'm not just looking at your performance in this challenge. 1099 00:51:25,403 --> 00:51:28,323 I'm taking into account what's happened over the last seven weeks. 1100 00:51:28,323 --> 00:51:31,043 What I want to know is who's the real Victoria? 1101 00:51:31,043 --> 00:51:33,723 During the whole process, I have made sure 1102 00:51:33,723 --> 00:51:36,963 that I have been the person who brings ideas and takes the lead 1103 00:51:36,963 --> 00:51:39,403 to make sure that we win each challenge. 1104 00:51:39,403 --> 00:51:41,283 Let's talk about some of those wins. 1105 00:51:41,283 --> 00:51:44,683 Mm-hm. The majority of those wins were in teams. 1106 00:51:44,683 --> 00:51:47,043 Yes. There's certain times I've questioned, 1107 00:51:47,043 --> 00:51:50,123 have you just done enough to get through these challenges? 1108 00:51:50,123 --> 00:51:53,323 I definitely have more to show you, I know that for a fact. 1109 00:51:53,323 --> 00:51:55,683 In some challenges, I may have coasted. 1110 00:51:55,683 --> 00:51:58,683 I have also led and made us win. 1111 00:51:58,683 --> 00:52:02,483 And I've been critical in our decision making, making sure 1112 00:52:02,483 --> 00:52:05,843 we understand the task, making sure we have a clear vision, 1113 00:52:05,843 --> 00:52:07,083 delivering that vision. 1114 00:52:07,083 --> 00:52:09,603 And that has won it for a lot of the challenges 1115 00:52:09,603 --> 00:52:11,163 that I've won as well. I definitely 1116 00:52:11,163 --> 00:52:13,003 am not someone who's just going to hide. 1117 00:52:13,003 --> 00:52:15,843 I've been with you every step of the way of this journey, 1118 00:52:15,843 --> 00:52:18,363 and it's been a sort of tempestuous seven weeks. 1119 00:52:18,363 --> 00:52:20,363 I've seen you cry, I've seen you laugh. 1120 00:52:20,363 --> 00:52:24,683 But I am concerned to why that conflict is there. 1121 00:52:24,683 --> 00:52:27,923 Getting a point across is one thing, but alienating yourself 1122 00:52:27,923 --> 00:52:29,883 from the challenge is another. 1123 00:52:29,883 --> 00:52:34,123 I can get from one to ten in like in zero seconds. 1124 00:52:34,123 --> 00:52:36,843 Communication is definitely something that I need to improve 1125 00:52:36,843 --> 00:52:39,123 and I hope that you can walk me through that journey. 1126 00:52:39,123 --> 00:52:41,523 I'm not investing in a one-man band. 1127 00:52:41,523 --> 00:52:43,283 I'm not looking for a tiny business. 1128 00:52:43,283 --> 00:52:45,563 I'm looking to propel a business.
