South West Mains and Dessert

The remaining chefs from south west England compete over dishes inspired by British broadcasting, including celebrations of iconic radio and TV broadcasts.

The three chefs are halfway through their heat, and the pressure is mounting. Once again, they each serve their unique interpretations of the brief celebrating 100 years of British broadcasting.

For mains, one chef is taking inspiration from long-running Radio 4 classic Desert Island Discs, another is paying homage to William and Kate’s wedding in a lamb feast with apricots and sauternes, and there’s also a dish celebrating Neville Chamberlain’s radio broadcast announcing the Second World War in 1939, which champions wild Somerset deer paired with a beef fat pastry pithivier.

Meanwhile, for dessert, there’s a celebration of classic comedy Only Fools and Horses, an apple sorbet with decompressed apple elements to pay homage to Radio 4’s The Pips, and a raspberry parfait with lime curd in honour of the ±«Óãtv’s launch of a full colour TV service in 1969.

Only two will proceed to cook for the judges and have a chance to represent south west England at the regional finals.
