Who made this dish?
Irish potato cake with a poached egg, smoked salmon, wilted spinach and hollandaise sauce, cooked from a recipe with no timings or measurements.
Brendan: "The recipe shows the ingredients on there and a bit of methodology, but there's a few blanks."
Brendan: "I think I'm struggling with the hollandaise, if I'm honest." Brendan tried to fix his runny hollandaise by adding flour to thicken it.
Grace: "Brendan's just added flour to his hollandaise. If you add flour to something, you have to cook it. I am not looking forward to tasting them."
Anna: "The poached egg did seem to be losing a lot of its white, but the yolk runny. Potato cake soft, seasoned. Your hollandaise sauce... too much vinegar in there and there is a strange gloopy texture. When you added a bit of flour into it, just a small smidge, I knew it was wrong."
Grace: "Sometimes when we're cooking and something's not working, we should stop and start again."
Brendan was eliminated.
