After some masterclasses the twelve had a bit of a shock - a challenge to create Sea bass with a salsa.

John was successful and a step closer to Tigh Dudley!

After some wine tasting with Arwel Owen from Gwinology it was time for the big challenge - cook their signiature dish.

John prepared Loin of pork stuffed with dried apricot and plums, wrapped in Parma ham and served with savoury couscous and a Marsala sauce.

A perfect wine to accompany this dish would be a Pinot Noir from New Zeland
