Aktar Islam: "Risotto quenelle. Should you ever be able to quenelle a risotto?"

Hannah: "I would say no if you were just eating risotto, but because it's got broth with it, that's why I didn't mind it being thicker."

Peers, tasting behind the scenes

"The risotto is a bit more like cold porridge, kind of like a savory rice pudding."

Aktar Islam: "The onion broth, is it deep and complex like you'd expect an onion broth to be?"

Hannah: "In my head, it makes sense how it tastes with all the other elements on the plate.

Peers, tasting behind the scenes

"The broth. It's very sweet."

"Mad sweet"

Back in the judging room 

Aktar Islam: "Potato spuma? Is this how you wanted it to be?"

Hannah: "It's nowhere near as creamy and got that potato hit that I've had when I've done it before, so no. 

Peers, tasting behind the scenes 

"Texturally, lots of variation, but, like, the potatoes may be a little bit lost and things."

Final Judging

Aktar Islam: "Hannah, for your dish, "The Quiet Explorer." I really like the presentation for Isabelle's story, and it really came through fantastically. For me, if you can quenelle a risotto, it's wrong. The rice was overcooked, and the flavor of mushroom didn't really come through. The potato espuma, it wasn't right. It's just a bit gummy. Espumas work when they're rich. Now, I was looking for a deep, rich onion broth. It didn't give me the flavor that I was expecting. Overall, the dish was a little too sweet."
