Habachi cooked quail
Tasting
Laura first
Mel thought the pasta was a little thick
Jock loved the filling but pasta too thick and undercooked
Andy says flavour great but pasta was too thick
Emilia next
It looks good again
She does wonderful with her plating

Nicky Whelan Jock loved it
Pumpkin caramel was moreish
Would have preferred pumpkin seeds to pine nuts
Reminds mel of sticky date pudding
Beautifully balanced
Emilia is safe

[Mistyavalon]

Pumpkin choux for emilias 3rd dish

E going to do the cursed pasta
Not the prettiest
I liked the fact that he cut the cake up.
Susanne Pendock he had to, it stuck to the pan
Nicky Whelan he compromised well I thought.
Susanne Pendock yes, but he wasnt overly happy with it
Andy didnt love it
He wanted more pumpkin
Jock loved the ice cream, cake was light and airy
Mel loved the textures and flavours
Reece and emilia i think
Up to the gantry with Laura

wow Reece is definitely flavour of the week this week

Geraldine Kavanagh he has put up some good dishes this week though
20mins left now
The two I wanted for the final two are there. Yay.
Susanne Pendock same here
Reece is shocked and excited
The eggs arent absorbing into the flour
Her choux is too runny
20mins to come up with a new dish

k Plan Z has to happen now for Emilia.

[Mistyavalon]

Emilia very calm and innovative under pressure!
Lucy Callister yup very methodical

Needs to balance it now

Emilia always looks to composed and calm even when she isnt
She is running so much
Although it is more a jog now
Jock says she needs more whisks

She has more whisks too
She is having so much fun
and her tuille is done

[Mistyavalon]

Creme pat now
Run run run
Doing slightly pickled, slightly candied pumpkin

Mel says she doesnt often resort to plan B
Oh choux puns

Gantry loving the smell of the curry
Em has no idea what Reece is doing
Emilia running a marathon as well as cooking today

Andy tasting the curry
Jock tasting too
Asking is there pumpkin in it
Jock was like a child who took a cookie in front of mum and ran off to eat
It
he was like the older child telling his younger sibling to do his dirty work


Reece adding pumpkin puree now
1min to go
Reece is happy with the colour, look and taste of yhe curry
Emilia plating
Creating her layers
Just adding heaps.of layers
And time is up

[Mistyavalon]

Who will win immunity?
Emilia says it is not like her to do a dessert this big
Emilia up first
Reese no Emilia no reese
Emilia’s looks too sickly
An incredibly large dish
She isnt as happy with this dish as the first 2
Definately a dessert for sharing
Jock says how do I portion this?
I love Mel's Good Luck with the portioning.

Jock says it talks of someone who needed a plan b in a hurry
I thought it was plan c, no d , no z

Twuieles not crispy enough
He wishes there was some.character to the dish
Consistencies were beautiful and smooth

Andy says technique was flawless

Mel says nothing bad about the dish it was fine
But they wanted more

[Mistyavalon]

Reece now
Looks like a curry.....
Andy thinks he could have missed a trick with large pumpkin slices
I'd prefer not to eat big chunks of pumpkin sometimes.
Tasting
Andy says a reasonable job
Fair amount of flavour

He had judged it because it wasn't the image he wanted I think.
yes, that is what I thought also ...
But its not the best curry he has had or best use of punpkin
Mel wanted more shrimp pasty sort of feeling
Rice is perfectly cooked

Jock quite likes it
Good flavour combos
ock’s critique the best. He is fair.
But the puree has dulled the flavours down

Good but not great
Which dish would we eat again
The curry.
Jock says bothwere good but not great
Reece didnt scream pumpkin
Emilia yours was clearly plan b
Andy says to get the winner which would we eat again
And that is Reeces curry
