The cooking competition with brother and sister Emily and Nathan begins in Auckland.

It's Jax and Manz's turn to host their instant restaurant and showcase their flair with some classic Kiwi cuisine. However, will confidence be their downfall?

Raglan cousins Piki and Michael host their instant restaurant with kai from the realm of Tangaroa and Tane. Have they got what it takes to get to the top of the leaderboard?

Hamilton sisters Emma and Abbie host the final instant restaurant. They have talked the talk, but can they walk the walk? One team will be eliminated.

In the second semi-final, two teams prepare a three-course lunch for a group of formidable foodies. Who will make it to the next round and who will be going home?

Dark horses Mark and Andrea showcase their three-course menu. Can they live up to expectations or will the pressure overwhelm them?
