She had her hair down! She wore a lovely dress! His back story (which always fills the first 20 minutes of a final) focused on his current location of Camden, Would love to find out where he works – poor has no idea! He’s been thoroughly confused as hundreds of people tweet their congratulations: “why do people keep saying this to me Dave I can’t cook for shit ha!” I also loved Keri’s story.

Poor Oli, he fell apart a little bit and in any other year it might not have hurt his chances but this series was special and he finished third. Even as someone who does not partake in beer drinking I agree that discussing the option of beer matching with your meal is becoming a ‘thing’ and someone should definitely bring this to the fore. There have been guarantees that real ale will make an appearance at some point which will please the growing army of beer connoisseurs. Being a West Country boy, Tom was quite taken by the alcoholic apple juice but there was no beer selected much to the chagrin of Carsmile. Kate selected three drinks to accompany a pork and apple recipe created by Michel and Tom Kerridge: a cider, a non alcoholic spiced apple drink and some wine. It must be thing – all wine types have that extra bit of enthusiasm, don’t they? Think of Olly Smith and Susy Atkins. The resident drinker is Kate Goodman, a wine merchant from Manchester and pretty good she is, too. F&D II, or F&D Babies (y’know, like Muppet Babies but with chefs?), does introduce one new face however. I could talk at length about this but, as usual, Mr Danny Baker sums up correctly: Read the rest of this entry »Īnyway, it’s back, back, BACK! And not in some studio set up a la Saturday Kitchen, oh no, they’ve stolen Lorraine’s stark kitchen diner from which to create some yummy food and discuss the latest consumer issues (they’ll be a bit busy if it’s been filmed in the last few weeks!). For some reason they are at the top of the gherkin tower muttering “WHO will be the winner of the Scholarship for 2013?” and “only ONE can be declared our winner!”
We return from each commercial break to meet our hosts, Roux Jr and his near incomprehensible uncle. After the series opener it seems to be two parts Masterchef: The Professionals and one part The Apprentice. The Roux Scholarship 2013 is a mish-mash of a programme. What could this mean? All these amazing chefs judging one show together – gonna be a-MAZING, amirite?
He was joined by a terrifying looking Rick Stein and Angela Hartnett seemed grumpy as heck. But Roux Jr’s lovely, smiley, dark-eyed face was strangely replaced by a frown, a glare – rather scary. A poster advertising what looked like a cookery telly show, thatswot. “Oooh! Wotsthat?!” I exclaimed as the 476 bus whizzed through North London just the other day. Has there been a more successful opening dish in the history of Masterchef? Anyway, whilst I wanted this post to contain nothing but 250 point type exclaiming ‘LUKE MUST WIN, WE LOVE HIM’, I shall discuss the utter gloriousness of the Luke The Robot Dude later. If Luke’s future lies in the culinary world he will be forever remembered for his vegetable samosas. No ‘mystery box’ to start, we have a ‘calling card’ round where contestants cook what is essentially their signature dish. With yet more tweaking the series has been a joy thus far. Well, who knew cooking could be so much fun? During that time I have put the keyboard down and picked up the numerous cookbooks that adorn our shelves. It feels like only yesterday that Scott won my affections but, sadly, not the Professionals title and it was just a few weeks ago, surely, that the amazing Natalie took the amateurs trophy. That kick has come in the delightfully shaped boot of the new series of Masterchef. I admit, I needed some kind of kick up the backside to get blogging again. Oh, bye, Jogi! I’ve eaten in your place, it was quite tasty, thanks, but I’m glad there wasn’t any pasta on the menu. I like getting to know these men and women, judge them on their hairstyles and dodgy tattoos, find a potential favourite or two then have them kicked out 10 minutes later.

We now have a VT to introduce our professional chefs which is a nice touch. The new surroundings accompany a tweaked format. Sadly it’s in the process of being turned into shops, flats and all things hip but at least we got to spend some time with the wonderful master brewer, John. We were under strict instructions: no peeking and no photos. Well, you can’t have everything.Īnyone fortunate enough to take a tour of the Ram brewery in Wandsworth would have walked the walk past the Masterchef studio and, yes, I totally strutted my stuff like an amateur cook on a mission.
Look into my eyes, look into the eyes, the eyes, the eyes, not around the eyesĪ new series.
