Rose and Cherry Meringue Nests
Christiaan: "I am making a rose water meringue. You don't want to add too much because very easily it gets like, quite salty and a risky flavor. But I've done it at home, so why would it not work here?"
Voice-over: "To contrast the highly floral rose water, Cristiaan is opting for walnut praline, cherry jam and chantilly cream in his elaborate meringues."
Prue Leith: "They look absolutely exquisite and I'm so impressed with the way you managed to get that piping."
Paul Hollywood: "It is neat."
Christiaan: "So I've got Swiss meringue nests with a little bit of rose water. Then with walnut praline, a cherry jam and a rose water and sour cream."
Paul Hollywood: "The rose and the cherry. I don't really like the flavors together. Maybe because the rose is a bit strong."
Prue Leith: "Rose is always going to dominate unless you're really very delicate with it."
