Which Show?
Who made this dish?
Irish potato cake with a poached egg, smoked salmon, wilted spinach and hollandaise sauce. Matt: "When I saw all those ingredients on the table, my heart absolutely sank cuz I thought this is not going to go well."
Anna: "Is this something that you've made before?"
Matt: "No."
Anna: "Poached eggs. Do you make them for your family on a Sunday?"
Matt: "No."
Anna: "Oh, dear. Is there anything on this dish that you are feeling happy about, Matt?"
Matt: "The smoked salmon."
Grace: "The potato cake is slightly dry in parts. Your hollandaise, you got the technique right, but a bit heavy-handed with your seasoning and with your acidity."
Anna: "The egg is beautifully cooked. However, the hollandaise sauce is vicious."
Grace: "Technically, Matt's hollandaise was as close to the texture of what hollandaise should be, but the flavour was unpleasant, and this potato cake was quite dry."
Matt won an apron.
