Perfect...

Legendary Chinese chef Ken Hom and rising star of Asian cookery Ching He Huang will be cooking perfect Chinese cuisine tonight. What better way to kick off the show than with a chow mein? Both our chefs opt for this classic noodle dish for the first category, but which will the judges prefer - Ken's Hong Kong style, or Ching's chicken and mushroom? Ken likes nothing more than a simply steamed fish Cantonese style, whereas Ching prefers beef in an oyster sauce. Both come with fried rice, of course. Ken and Ching see the episode off with food fit for a Chinese banquet. But which will impress the most - Ken's crispy pork belly in lettuce cups, or Ching's fragrant duck?

Gastropub guru Paul Merrett comes face to face with global foodie Allegra McEvedy in the battle of the perfect family supper. What could possibly beat Allegra's Cumberland sausage ring with parmesan mash 'n gravy? Paul's sausages with cheesy champ and onion rings might... Paul's confident that despite a slightly longer preparation time, his smoked haddock fishcakes will triumph over Allegra's four cheese macaroni with crispy bacon bits. A very carnivorous Allegra pits her meatfeast pizza with American slaw against Paul's curry night platter.

Brian Turner and Mark Sargeant prove that they can cook perfect roasts whatever the occasion. It's roast beef all round as Brian and Mark sweat it out in the kitchen to create the perfect Sunday lunch. But bearing in mind his Yorkshire background, how can anyone beat Brian's Yorkshire puds? It's a tough battle between Mark's lemon and herb roast chicken, and Brian's lamb pencil fillets with mustard and balsamic. Mark opts for an elegant roast duck breast on a bed of Jerusalem artichoke risotto, while Brian goes for roast rack of veal with a soy glaze and creamy leeks.
