It is the first quarter-final of the series, and the six heat winners continue to fight for their place in the competition. In the Critic's Test, the contestants are put through the mill with a seriously daunting test set by critic William Sitwell. His challenge for the amateur cooks is to create a dessert showcasing either alcohol or spices.
After cooking their dish based on this brief, the contestants stand before William and judges John and Gregg to hear what they think of their dish and whether they have managed to rise to the challenge and meet the expectations. At the end of this quarter-final, the best cooks go through to Knockout Week.
