Wales: Mains and Puddings

The remaining chefs from Wales compete over dishes inspired by British animation and illustration and Paddington鈥檚 65th birthday, including dishes based on Fantastic Mr Fox and the Mabinogion.

The three chefs are halfway through their heat, and the pressure is mounting. Once again, they each serve their unique take on the brief celebrating British animation and illustration, inspired by Paddington鈥檚 65th birthday.

For mains, one chef is taking inspiration from Quentin Blake's illustrations in Fantastic Mr Fox, while another presents a smoky dish inspired by the Welsh animation Ivor the Engine. There's also a duck dish with hearts on skewers and an elderberry jus based on the medieval Welsh stories of the Mabinogion.

For dessert, there's a Paddington hat cake, complete with candles and ice cream, which faces stiff competition in the form of a honey and sourdough parfait sandwich inspired by an episode of Ben and Holly鈥檚 Little Kingdom. Finally, there's an outer-space dish of moon rocks, tuiles and aerated chocolate based on SuperTed.

Only two will proceed to cook for the judges and have a chance to represent Wales at the regional finals.
