Who made this dish?
Pan-fried chicken breast with creamy mashed potato, green beans and a red wine sauce, cooked from a recipe with no measurements or timings.
Maria: "So your chicken's cooked, so I've seared it on both sides. I wanted some of the juices to go into the sauce. So I'm going to finish it off. It's all going to meet back together again."
Anna: "Maria has decided to cook the vegetables for the sauce and the actual liquid of the sauce separately. That might be good for speeding it up, but she's likely to miss out on the layered flavours you get when you actually cook them together."
Maria: "I don't think the chicken's cooked enough."
Grace: "Maria, this chicken, we've got a bit of a problem here and that it is undercooked."
Anna: "It's hard to taste the mash because the chicken is sitting on top. So I've only had a little bit of the mash. It just needed a bit more butter and a bit more seasoning. Your sauce is nice, but it's missing some layers of flavour."
Grace: "I think that you suffered from a bit of panic. You completely under-judged the chicken."
Maria was eliminated.
