The competing teams produced a 3-course meal for four people in a three hours for a total food cost of £28.00. The winning menu started with baked caramelised onion and goats cheese tart, topped with herbs, followed by a of breast of guinea fowl wrapped in pancetta and roasted on a bed of pilaff , barley, chestnuts and celery.
