They were in what looked like a restaurant kitchen today and the Doctor was standing there, looking too pleased with himself for this to mean good things. "There's nothing a final will teach you that couldn't be learned in a kitchen. Working under pressure, creativity, teamwork, timing, adaptability and, yes, even making impossible decisions. You have one hour to make a three course meal for the ambassador from Shantella Prime, that judge from Masterchef with the glasses and me. It's up to you to work together to decide on a menu, use the ingredients from the pantry, figure out how to use the cooking equipment and deliver something edible. Will you cook? Will you cut? Will you take orders from others or be someone who listens and follows orders? Will you sit this one out and expect everyone else to solve the problem?" He looked at his watch. "You'd best be getting started."

"I took one last summer," Helen admitted. "I could make crepes with chocolate and fruit for a dessert if people like. It's simple, but delicious and can look quite fancy with raspberry sauce on the plate."

"Can you make enough for three people in less than an hour?" Peter asked. "Maybe recruit a couple people to do cutting and mixing for you?"

"I could make enough for everyone in this class in an hour," Helen said. "With someone to help with the plating it wouldn't take nearly as long."

"Right," Peter said. Then he heard what Ben had said, and frowned. "That guy has a really good point."

Helen sighed. "Do we have any way of determining what they may or may not like? Because otherwise, what? We make three salads?"
