Britain's Best Home Cook

The best nine cooks battle it out over their finest fish dish and improvise with squash or rice before the weakest face a tricky dessert elimination round. At the end of the challenges, one cook must say farewell.

Claudia Winkleman presents week four of the home cooking contest and the first challenge awaiting the seven remaining contestants is to put their individual spin on a traditional roast dinner, which must include at least two vegetable accompaniments. Next they are given just one hour to invent a sweet or savoury meal using cauliflower or crab as the key ingredient - pushing some of the hopefuls out of their comfort zone - before the elimination round sees the weakest cooks following a dessert recipe to the letter. Who will judges Mary Berry, Dan Doherty and Chris Bavin chooses to send home?

The quater-finalists have two and a half hours to prepare their ultimate sharing feast with four complementary dishes that must come together as a complete meal. In the Cooks Challenge, the choice is between squid and mackerel.

Its the final chance for the cooks to impress the judges with the very best of their home cooking, with the ultimate main and pudding. In the cooks challenge, the finalists must make a dish that showcases both chicken and mushrooms.

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

Marys given the quarter finalists 2 hours and 15 minutes to cook their ultimate family pie, and it must be fully encased in pastry they have made from scratch. A perfect fully encased pastry pie is a tricky challenge.

There are shocks and surprises in store as the three finalists try to win over Mary, Angela and Chris with their ultimate three-course dinner party.
