Presenter Right Jack, let’s try your soup. Mm, that’s delicious. It's a great combination, carrot and orange. Is
there any onion in the soup?
Jack Yes, one onion.
Presenter It's very good, but next time maybe you could add a little cream, not much, just a little. OK, now the
chicken. Mm. That’s lovely. Not very original, but very tasty. And finally, the pancakes. They look beautiful...
and they taste fantastic.
Now Liz, let’s try your dishes. The salad first. Mm. It’s nice, but the taste of onion is very strong. How many
onions did you use?
Liz Three.
Presenter I think perhaps two are enough for this salad. OK, the pasta. Mm, it’s very good, but it needs a bit
more salt and pepper. And finally, the mousse. That’s a beautiful mousse, Liz.
Liz Thank you.
Presenter Mm, and it tastes fantastic, absolutely delicious. Well congratulations to you both. I loved all your
dishes – but only one of you can win - and today’s winner is... Jack. 20
