Tonight the challenge is to create a three-course meal with only two hours allowed for preparation, 30 minutes serving time each for the starter and dessert and an hour serving time for the mains.  

The contestants have to plate ten identical servings of each dish, as their competitors (Maj and Joleen and Kim and Pashi) will also be tasting their dishes! The teams will thereafter be awarded an overall experience score from the expert guest judges as well as J’Something and David Higgs, who are looking for evidence of growth from the home cooks.

To see which team goes to the final,  you can watch tonight’s episode on M-Net channel 101 at 6 pm.
