Central Judging
Guest judge Helen Sharman, Britain鈥檚 first astronaut, helps decide the winner from the two remaining chefs. Both have dishes themed around space, but whose will rocket them to success?
Today, the two highest-scoring chefs from the central region must go head to head and cook their six-course menus again. But will they take on board their veteran鈥檚 advice as they serve both the panel of judges and Britain鈥檚 first astronaut?
The chefs need to impress the formidable judges - food writer Matthew Fort, restauranteur Oliver Peyton and broadcaster and food creative Rachel Khoo - as well as guest judge Helen Sharman OBE, who made history 30 years ago by winning a competition to become the first Briton in space. How will she judge dishes celebrating British science and innovation, including two dishes paying homage to Professor Stephen Hawking鈥檚 theory of black holes?
