MasterChef Australia (2009)

S2E31 Duck Two Ways Pressure Test

The contestants were challenged to replicate a signature dish by renowned Australian chef, Stephanie Alexander, featuring confit duck-neck sausage paired with grilled duck breast, served with a sour cherry sauce, potato crisps, and sautéed spinach. Peter, hailing from Melbourne, quickly procured his ingredients from Queen Victoria Market and arrived at the Langham Hotel first, followed closely by Carrie and Jimmy. Ultimately, each competitor faced issues: Peter's sauce turned out too floury, Carrie's was overly thin, her sausage lacked texture, and she neglected the spinach, while Jimmy's spinach was gritty and his duck breast was overcooked.
