Simon Rogan: "So the primary ingredient, the hoggett. Are you happy with the cooking? You happy with texture?"

Amber: "I'm a little disappointed with the cuisson on my hoggett. Would have liked it to have been a little bit more pink, But the flavor of the hogget, it's lovely."

Peers, tasting behind the scenes

"I think the hogget's nice. I think it's tiny bit overcooked, but just marginally."

Back in the judging room

Simon Rogan: "And the sauce, has that got that depth of flavour that you're after?"

Amber: "I would have liked it a little bit thicker, but I'm happy with the flavor on that."

Peers, tasting behind the scenes

 The thing I'm less into is the leeks because they're a little bit crunchy, verging on sort of squeaky.

Back in the judging room

Simon Rogan: "Let's have a look at this shepherds pie. Are you happy with the consistency of the filling?"

Amber: "It's a little wetter than I wanted, but the flavor is tasty."

Peers, tasting behind the scenes

"That pie is delicious."

"I think the pie is my favorite bit, actually."

Back in the judging room

Simon Rogan: "So what would you score it?"

Amber: "I'm actually going to score it a six. I don't think I executed that as I could have done."

Final Judging

"Amber, for your dish. "The Lark Ascending". The hogget leg could have been a little pinker, obviously, but I don't think it needed that much. I mean, it had such great flavor. The shepherd's pie, I mean, had great flavor, but I wanted the filling to be a bit more sticky. But once again, great effort."
