London and South East Dessert

Episode 4 of 45

Creative culinary competition. Dessert is the last chance for the chefs to secure a place cooking for the judges and the pressure is rising.

Great British Menu is back. 24 of Britain's top chefs compete for the ultimate prize - the chance to cook at a banquet honouring 140 years of the iconic Wimbledon Tennis Championships. The chefs have been challenged to create outstanding dishes that capture a taste of summer and the prestige of the Wimbledon Championships, taking inspiration from the traditions of the championships and classic summer dishes and ingredients.

All three chefs are feeling the pressure as they attempt their technical summer desserts. With only the two highest scorers going through to the regional final, who will be sent home? Dessert is the last chance for the chefs to secure a place cooking for the judges and the pressure in the kitchen is rising.

Both Mike and Selin are inspired by Wimbledon's all-white clothing rule. Selin takes a risk using highly perfumed flavours in her dish that are notoriously difficult to balance.

Mike is also using unusual flavours, making a coconut sago accompanied by mango, yuzu and yogurt elements. He must cook each of them to perfection to ensure his place. Tom is worried when he struggles to perfect the delicate tuilles that hold his layered dish together.
