We challenged chefs of three different skill levels - amateur Stephen, home cook Rinku, and professional chef Danielle Alex - to prepare us their favorite biryani recipe. Once each level of chef had presented their creation, we asked expert food scientist Rose to explain the choices each made along the way - both good and bad. Which biryani would you choose to eat first?
