Scotland: Mains and Puddings
The three chefs are halfway through their heat, and the pressure is mounting. Once again, they each serve their unique take on the brief celebrating British animation and illustration, inspired by Paddington's 65th birthday.
For mains, two chefs are taking inspiration from The Wind in the Willows by Edinburgh-born Kenneth Grahame– one is a picnic of enticing morsels including cold chicken, beef cheek and spiced aubergine tart, while the other transports the judges to Badger's sett with a candlelit dinner of lamb rack, fresh brioche stuffed with lamb stew, smoked yoghurt and pickled elderberry sauce. Finally, there's a tribute to Desperate Dan's favourite food, cow pie, in a refined beef cheek pie with onion crumb puff pastry and glazed vegetables.
For dessert, one dish celebrates food fights in the Beano manual and brings together a riot of burnt butter cake cubes, long pepper custard, strawberry jelly, strawberry rocks and meadowsweet cream. Another dish is inspired by Peter Pan with a dessert of honey and yoghurt cake, all alongside another chef's opera cake that pays homage to a Paddington episode.
Only two will proceed to cook for the judges and have a chance to represent Scotland at the regional finals.
