Goodreads Synopsis:

An action-packed, saucy food comedy featuring one boy’s determination to be top chef!

Soma Yukihira’s old man runs a small family restaurant in the less savory end of town. Aiming to one day surpass his father’s culinary prowess, Soma hones his skills day in and day out until one day, out of the blue, his father decides to enroll Soma in a classy culinary school! Can Soma really cut it in a place that prides itself on a 10 percent graduation rate? And can he convince the beautiful, domineering heiress of the school that he belongs there at all?!

The fourth bout of the team shokugeki begins with Erina finally taking the stage. Her opponent? The queen of cute confections, Momo Akanegakubo! But what kind of dish will the former ice queen present to combat such cuteness? Meanwhile, Isshiki and Takumi take on the council’s top two members—Tsukasa and Rindo!

Review:

I missed what happened with Megumi (sadly, though not surprising), but I guess that's okay, because Erina gets to prove what point she was making, using it as inspiration to make her dish the winner.
Next up, Isshiki and Tsukasa are against each other. Both characters I quite enjoy. During their cooking, there's also some light drama regarding Isshiki's childhood rival/friend.
And, of course, as the shokugeki is drawing closer to the end, Azami has to step in to try and put things in his favor again.
This has been a very long battle. It looks like we're finally down to the last two on each side though.
