Today, the two highest-scoring chefs from the north west of England go head to head to cook their six-course menus again. 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 the successful authors the banquet will be celebrating. Today, the guest judge is best-selling children鈥檚 author Julia Donaldson, who was Children's Laureate between 2011 and 2013 .
