On Thursday 10th February, our 5 judges gathered around the Kitchen Table in London to taste their way through the shortlist of 10 dishes.
Forks were out and the debate was as hot as the delicious dishes on offer. Eventually however, the judges agreed on the 3 they considered the tastiest, to go through to the public ITV.com vote in April.
