Elimination Challenge: Deception/MasterClass: Heston Blumenthal, George Calombaris and Gary Mehigan 2014
Elimination Challenge: Deception - Amy, Ben, Brent and Tracy faced off in the last elimination challenge before Finals Week. In honour of Heston, the theme of this challenge was about culinary deception. They had to create a dish that look like it but tasted something else to trick Heston and the judges in two hours. Ben's campfire sous vide beef dish and Brent's chocolate soil dessert earned high praise on both the presentations of their dishes. It came down between Amy and Tracy as both of their dishes missed the brief of the challenge: Amy, despite being motivated in this week's previous challenges, had problems with the presentation of her magic fruit salad dish and her cheesecake plums had issues on the texture while Tracy's crumble custard dish had less deceptive creativity although her flavours stood out to the judges. As a result, Amy was eliminated from the competition.
