After spending 90 minutes cooking their signature dishes, Peter presented his roast lamb rack with mint salsa and sweet potato, as well as a chocolate ripple cake.

Gary thought the lamb was a little overcooked. Matt told Peter he should have used crème de menthe, not Grand Marnier, in his cake to compliment the peppermint crisp on top.

The judges tasted Fuzzy’s chilli calamari with watermelon and cucumber salad, and pandan crêpes with coconut crème sauce. Gary loved both dishes and George exclaimed to Fuzzy, “You can cook!”

Alex had made fragrant prawn ravioli and George thought there was a “weird sliminess” when he tasted prawn and ricotta together. Matt told Alex he had shot a little too high with the dish but demonstrated great cooking skills.

Fuzzy won the first round and had two dishes by pastry chef Katrina Kanetani to choose from. The VJ nominated sumac strawberries and cream with white chocolate sponge and ice cream as the pressure test dish for the second round. Katrina warned the contestants that a tricky element of the dish was the tuile – the thin curved biscuit which topped the dessert.

Alex cut his recipe into sections and taped them to different parts of the bench, explaining he has a mild form of dyslexia and he hoped that by doing so, it would keep him organised.

With 20 minutes to go, Peter used his lifeline to have Katrina’s help with preparing the biscuit mixture for the tuile before he baked it. Alex had Katrina’s assistance when he was curling his tuile after he took it out of the oven. Fuzzy used her lifeline with five minutes to go and Katrina told her to turn up her oven so her tuile biscuit mixture would colour.

The judges tasted Peter’s dessert first. Gary said it looked fabulous and Peter’s white chocolate cake was cooked perfectly. While Gary said Peter’s ice cream was beautiful, the only negative was that the tuile was a bit soft and chewy. Matt judged Peter's biscuit tuile to be “leathery”.

Matt thought Fuzzy’s cake was too eggy and said her tuile didn’t have the crunch it should have. He also observed it was too thick. George told Fuzzy the highlight of her dish was the ice cream, which was packed with strawberry flavour.

Gary said Alex’s ice cream was full of zingy flavour and although there was a little too much vanilla essence in his Chantilly cream, his tuile had a lovely snap and was coloured a perfect golden brown. Matt loved the crisp crack of Alex’s tuile and told the muso he had created Katrina’s example in a beautiful manner.

The last semi-finals spot of Celebrity MasterChef went to Alex.
