Michael Caines: "Let's start with the cracker. It's not quite what you intended. Nevertheless, are you happy with it?"
Amber: "I'm actually really happy with that. Buckwheat surprisingly gives quite a nice little warm, toasty element to slightly fresher flavors."
Michael Caines: "And you feel all of those elements work well together on the cracker?"
Amber: "I think so, yes."
Peers, tasting behind the scenes
"Harmony."
"Absolutely."
"I think she's smashed it really good."

Amber: "I am pleased with the sauce. It was something to marry all the flavors together."
Peers, tasting behind the scenes
"I think it's delicious."
"It's a really lovely plate of food. Really clean, delicate flavors."

Michael Caines: "If you were to give it a score, what would you give it?"
Amber: "I would give it an eight."
Final Judging
"Amber, your dish. Tatity Muirhead. The presentation was lovely and I really thought the theme was well considered. It was fantastic seafood presentation. The cracker was a happy mistake. It was delicious and I think you should use this going forward if you get the opportunity. Mayonnaise was lovely and had a great balance in seasoning and a real highlight for me. The confit of haddock was slightly overcooked. I thought the radish might be a bit of a distraction for the dish, but it really did work well. Really a conscious piece of cooking and I loved it. Well done."
