Hunger
Tom demonstrates how to make the perfect white loaf, which also makes the perfect chip butty. The brothers reveal the method behind their epic steak sandwich topped with wild mushrooms and crispy salad. They also showcase their unique creation - chocolate 'sticky stick' donuts. And for the weekly pie-making competition, the brothers go head-to-head in a battle to win over this week's judges - a group of hungry farmers. Henry chooses to make a meaty rabbit pie and Tom a hearty ploughman's lunch-inspired pasty. But which brother comes out on top?
Fast
Tom and Henry bake soda bread and home-made butter in 30 minutes and a pie for fire fighters to eat on the go. This time the brothers are taking on recipes that are fast and furious and get into a race to make the speediest snack - pizza vs toastie, the ultimate bloke's battle. And want a curry in a hurry? Well, Henry's got a blinder, topped off with Tom's super-quick chapatis.
Love
The brothers cook up the food of love, including a romantic breakfast in bed, some melt-in-the-middle chocolate pots, and a slow cooked cassoulet with duck and sausages. They also make sweet pies in their ongoing pie war.
Long
The boys focus on slow food, pulled pork, sourdough loaf, and steamed pudding soaked in flaming booze and covered with toffee sauce. Tom and Henry also make some big, savoury pies for seven triathletes in need of fuel for their lengthy training regimes.
Cheap
Tom and Henry lay on some budget-busting, cheap and cheerful food that doesn't scrimp on flavour, including mini burger sliders, pimped-up toast and low-cost pies.
Hard
It's the final week, and Tom and Henry make beef Wellington, lardy cake and smoked hot-dogs. And who will be be crowned Pie War champion?
