Discipline met creativity as the 10 finalists put in their best efforts for the coveted Golden Toque. The contestants prepared a main dish with chicken and a dessert dish. With strict rules governing technique, time, hygiene, and workflow, the finale took place in an ambience that was professional, encouraging and competitive. Technical judges remained deeply engaged, closely observing the finalists on precision, cleanliness, organisation, cooking methods, and composure under pressure.
