North East - Judging
Bestselling children鈥檚 author Dame Jacqueline Wilson helps decide which chef should make it through to the next round.
The two highest-scoring chefs from the north east of England go head to head to cook their six-course menus again. But will they take on board their veteran鈥檚 advice as they serve the panel of judges and an esteemed children鈥檚 author?
The chefs need to impress the formidable judges, food writer Matthew Fort, restaurateur Oliver Peyton and broadcaster and cook Andi Oliver, as well as a guest judge - one of Britain鈥檚 most successful authors. Today, they are joined by bestselling children鈥檚 author Dame Jacqueline Wilson. She has written over 100 novels since she started writing book at nine years old.
