Indeed, he hopes he can make Afghani cuisine as popular as Indian food has become in the UK. Preparations: The girls' team, led by Melody, discuss their tactics for the task and decide on the name Team Venture. Taking the vote: The boys disagree on the team name but in the end go for Team Logic.
Despite his emotional exit from the programme, Mr Hunter insisted he had found the experience of being on The Apprentice positive and said he was fond of Lord Sugar.
I feel good. I think good will come of it all. Don't give up the day job: The girls' team, Venture find the fruit and veg task problematic when they opt for a pasta dish. Cooking up a storm: Susan Ma and Edna Agbarha take charge in the kitchen as the team prepare fruit salads.
Mr Hunter failed to impress the business mogul during the debut task and was sacked after his team lost a fruit and veg challenge. His relaxed approach rubbed his teammates up the wrong way, as well as the tycoon, who branded him 'a slow internet line, which you have to sit and wait for'. The series began with all 16 contestants being told by Lord Sugar: 'I'm looking for someone who's got a brain who's going to go into business with me.
If you go sitting in the office and do nothing, I'm not going to be a very happy bunny. Plans turned to pulp: Alex Britez Cabral and Glenn Ward from the boys team Logic are left hand-squeezing the oranges for their fruit juice. I'm not Saint Alan, the patron saint of bloody losers.
This is an investment - I want some return on my money. The teams have to come up with their own names and the girls picked the name Venture while the boys choose Logic.
The girls came up with an option for breakfast, fruit salad, and an option for lunch, vegetable pasta. The boys went for soup and juice before realising that none of them knew how to make soup. However, they did eventually decide on tomato soup and orange juice.
If you can't stand the heat Edward Hunter struggles as the pressure mounts in the kitchens during the team's first task. This is what we do: Edward tries to assert his authority over his team, who later complained that he did not have a proper plan.
Both teams made their way to market to pick up fresh fruit and vegetables. But when the boys were trying to get on with their task, Gavin Winstanley said he was unimpressed with Mr Hunter's leading ability. The girls ran into trouble when Edna Agbarha, who had been put in charge of costings, was ignored as the other girls tried to make their deals. And when they got back to the kitchens, they were unsure whether they had enough fruit for their fruit salads. Plush: The contestants make their way into their temporary home in Richmond-upon-Thames.
Back in the boys' kitchen, Jim Eastwood was put in charge of the soup while Leon Doyle took charge of the juice. But while Leon thought he had the easy job juicing the oranges, Edward told him he was juicing them for too long. And, after breaking all three electric juicers, the boys were forced to juice the oranges by hand.
Meanwhile the girls were already in Canary Wharf selling their fruit salads to the breakfast trade. At 11am, the boys were still juicing, and Glenn Ward was not happy that Edward was letting the group get away with taking so long. Not enough of a good thing: The girls' fruit salad team sell their wares in Canary Wharf, but are stunned when they run out of their product.
You need your five a day! The girls then made their way to Euston Station to help sell the vegetable pasta. For lunch, the boys' chose to pitch their permanent stand at Liverpool Street, while the soup team targeted offices in the West End, with sales manager Vincent Disneur leading the selling process.
The girls' pasta team pitched up at Euston but found commuters were unimpressed with the pasta. With just one hour left, the girls' fruit salad team decided to meet the rest at Euston as they had run out of food.
But Edna was not happy, saying: 'The project manager comes right at the end of the day to tell us what to do when we've been doing fine all day. And then it was time for the business mogul to push Edward, asking him how much he had chosen to sell the juices and soups for. Soup time: The boys chose to sell their tomato soup at Liverpool Street station.
When Edward failed to produce the answer, Vincent stepped forward. Over on the girls' team, Melody Hossaini was voted a good leader by her team. Then it was time for the figures. Team Venture were then treated to a champagne reception back at the house while the boys had to wait it out in a local greasy spoon. Back in the boardroom, Lord Sugar grilled Edward about his lack of planning.
Thomas came forward to say: 'The lack of planning in this task affected us very badly during the task. Edward hit back: 'All I'm guilty of on this task was being too ambitious. I'm very happy to accept I underestimated the manpower needed to squeeze oranges.
Here's to us: The girls clink glasses as they celebrate winning the first task of the new series. Lord Sugar also targeted Alex Britez Cabral for only selling nine units of soup from his fixed point at Liverpool Street. Then it was time for Edward to bring back two people into the boardroom, and the two he chose were Gavin Winstanley and Leon Doyle.
Talking to Nick and Karren about who he should send home, Lord Sugar said: 'Edward reminds me of a very slow production line, it takes time for everything to tick over. When the trio returned to the boardroom, Edward and Gavin started arguing about whether Gavin had volunteered to be project manager.
Defending himself, Edward replied: 'Not only am I the youngest in the team, and I'm the shortest, I had a motley crew of young men who I had to form into a team. After that particular comment, Lord Sugar tweeted: 'Not only the youngest I am the shortest. Hard to keep a straight face. Fighting his corner: Edward takes Leon and Gavin back into the boardroom, but can't save himself.
Goodbye: Lord Sugar fires Edward, the first contestant to be sacked from this series. Lord Sugar told Edward: 'I admire your enthusiasm to take on the leader role but you have no expertise there. You kept it all in your head. He then told Edward that he shouldn't be ashamed of his accountancy skills, adding: 'You said on your resume that you're Lord Sugar's dream, but with the great respect, you've been a bit of a nightmare.
Straight after being fired, Edward stormed out of the room and only turned back when Lord Sugar called him to give him some parting advice. In the cab on his way home, Edward said: 'I'm only 25, the world is my oyster. Roll with the punches. Edward, who is now backing marketing entrepreneur Leon to win the show, insisted he entered the show without a strategy, adding: 'I'm not a games guy, I'm not into tactics - I'm just myself. I was myself going forward and I can't regret being myself. Do you know any of the Apprentice candidates?
Pushing the idea of a liquid lunch, consisting of soup and fresh orange juice, Edward invested a large amount of the budget into purchasing oranges. The very same oranges had to be hand squeezed by the boys when the juicers broke down, causing them to miss the breakfast rush. On the upside, the juice proved very popular, but without a firm plan for supply and demand in place, disaster was soon around the corner. He successfully applied for a role in a global professional services firm headquartered in London straight after university and was hired as Senior Associate in the audit team before becoming an accountant at a FTSE 30 energy company.
