Final Judging
Paul Ainsworth: "Liv, for your dish. Justice for the 97, you have a really strong link to the brief, and I love your reimagining of scouse pie at the football. Your maitake mushrooms, that's a wonderful umami flavor, but they were just a bit dry. The pickled beetroots lack that acidity. They just didn't have long enough in that pickle. The tiny bit of vegan pastry was so delicious. You've called it a pie. I do think you need to introduce more of that pastry. Yeah, I really think you've got something here, but you've got to make some changes."
