BBC One - Best Home Cook, Series 2, Episode 3

The remaining eight home cooks prepare their ultimate brunches.

The remaining eight home cooks prepare their ultimate brunches for the judges and tackle a surprisingly tricky rustle-up challenge.

Mary challenges the cooks to prepare their ultimate Sunday brunch with a stipulation that the dish must include eggs. They have just an hour to present their finished dishes, but that doesn't mean the cooks keep things simple. They all push themselves to the limit in their efforts to impress the judges.

After an evening of fun and games, it's a new day and the cooks have one more chance to save themselves from Angela's eliminator. This week Chris's sweet ingredient choice sends many of the cooks into a tail spin of panic, and with only an hour to present a finished dish to the judges it looks touch and go for a few of them.

The cooks' fear of taking part in the eliminator round increases every week, and this time Angela has chosen a technically complicated recipe. As the safe cooks watch through their fingers, knowing that the fate of their friends rests on how well they cook this final recipe, the judges decide which cook must leave the competition this week.
