Finals Dessert

Creative culinary competition. It is the final day of the competition, and the last chance for the eight champions to get one of their dishes to the banquet.

It is the final day of the competition and the last chance for the eight champions to get one of their dishes to the banquet for Queen Elizabeth ll's great Britons.

Matthew Fort, Prue Leith and Oliver Peyton judge the dessert course and then decide on the banquet menu to be served at the Houses of Parliament. Joining them in the judging chamber is restaurant critic, journalist and author Grace Dent.

In the year of the Queen's 90th birthday, the chefs are celebrating the everyday great Britons who have been honoured for their extraordinary achievements. The challenge is to create dishes that are a fitting legacy to the modern Elizabethan age, creating food that represent the complete transformation in British cuisine during the Queen's reign.

The competition is more intense than ever, with the chefs dishing up some original, creative and technically difficult desserts.

The superlatives are flying in the chamber as the judges are impressed again and again. The chefs are not making it easy for the judges to decide on the final banquet menu.
