Described as the ‘dish of the competition’, Reynold has set the benchmark in just the second week of the show.
On Sunday night, he served the judges a burnt vanilla meringue, with lemon jam, coffee-vanilla ice-cream and a dark chocolate whipped ganache.
‘That was about as close to transcendental dessert magic I’ve ever seen,’ Melissa Leong said.
‘It’s not too sweet. The coffee balances with the lemon balances with everything else.
‘The textures are distinct and cohesive. You have play of temperature and texture. It’s just so highly conceived, it blows my little noggin. I feel privileged to eat it. So thank you.’
Jock Zonfrillo gushed: ‘Don’t understand how you can do it in the time. You know, not everything you do is perfect, but, God, when it is, it’s incredible. That coffee ice-cream, smooth as. The whipped chocolate is to die for. I got a hit of the jam. Wow. Just made me smile.
The Scottish import gave the dessert king a hug. ‘It’s just so good. And the balance is so good. The elements are so good. It is so good. Well done, mate.’
Andy Allen couldn’t agree more. ‘It’s probably right up there with the dish of the competition. It’s technically sound, but overall it tastes bloody fantastic, Reynold.’
As for Ben M, it wasn’t his night.
The Tassie cook’s salmon dish failed to impress, sending him home.
