The othertwo chefs have 20 minutes to complete a test set by Anna. Theymust prepare a plate of tempura vegetables with nori seasoningand a Japanese-style chilli mayonnaise.All four chefs then haveone last opportunity to win over the judges in the SignatureMenu cook-off. The heat is on, as they are given one hour and30 minutes to showcase their own cooking style with a main anddessert of their choosing. If they fail to deliver on taste,technique and presentation, their time in the competitioncould be up.Only those who can keep their cool and brilliantlyexecute their food will earn a place in the quarter-final.
