The contestants went about their task with the usual excitement, in anticipation to be the best for the task ahead. After an intense time of cooking, the contestants were asked to present their dishes.

Chinelo was the first to present her dish; she got very bad reviews from the judges, with Dr Roberts stating that she made “Eba” with butter, and called it pastry. Chef Renée also felt she did not incorporate the ingredients very well.  Popoola took the judges by surprise, and had good reviews, the judges only complaint was that his food presentation had not improved over the course of the show. His grapefruit cheesecake and Butter pudding were also described as very good. Dixon and Wando’s presentation were inviting and appealing, but the judges commended Dixon’s effort more as they believed she had the best food presentation as well as delicious desserts. She emerged the winner of the day’s task and was rewarded with the sum of twenty thousand naira for an excellent performance

For Chinelo, the writing was on the wall from the minute she presented her dish, especially as she was already on probation from the last task. Her quest for the crown came to an end, and she was asked to hand in her knives. With the intense heat in the kitchen, who do you think will emerge Nigeria’s best?? Hot will indeed be getting hotter as we near the finale. Join other food lovers on www.facebook.com/KnorrNigeria. You can also watch missed episodes on www.Youtube.com/KnorrNigeria.
