A MNer should enter Masterchef.

[Carmenere]

I want someone on here to enter masterchef. I think it would be excellent fun to follow a contestant and we could all row constantly help out with the recipes. Go on someone must harbour a secret desire to.

Suzywong knows John Torrode or her dh does I think.
Go on, some should at least enter. Tigerfeet if you do we will spend hours showing you links of posh foods you will be very well prepared.

so, you haven't found a contender yet then...

(and since this has turned to sex... I'd do the one with hair)

Oh yes the one with the hair too

actually I did enter

but then they started being norty on the thread so I didn't come back and tell you

but I need to know what the difference is between Masterchef and Masterchef Goes Large? Coz I entered the Goes Large.

Horayyyyy!!!! Oh I am very excited. I don't know but will find out the difference Well Done

they have dropped the 'goes large' it is just plain old masterchef. good the goes large bit was rather well erm common. i wanted to enter too but since i would be a bit horrified at a career in food perhaps not the best idea. torode and gregggg are both vile.

hmmm hadn't thought of the consequences of actually winning the thing

however I doubt that would be an issue

it is very wishy washy about getting back to you - if you don't here within a couple of months then you can assume you haven't been put forward

I am not really waiting on tenterhooks or with bated breath

Well done Tigerfeet - tell us more!

What about COV?

hear

Ok I think we need a few more mners to enter too to increase our chances. Anyone else want to give it a go?

Oh yes COV would be good

You have to have three courses ready at the same time don't you? Arrgghhhhhh.

What time of the year will it be recorded at? You get brownie points for being seasonal(and minuses for not being seasonal)

Would this menu do?

Starter - Mushroom and gruyere souffles
Main - Fillet steak with a red wine reductions on a bed of wilted spinach with crispy shallots and creamed horseradish mash
Palate cleanser - vodka and grapefruit granita
Dessert - Espresso pannacotta with dark chocolate sauce.

It is what I am making for dh and I for valentine's day.

My DCs keep telling me to apply but no chance. Someone I know was on there once and they absolutely pulled her to bits and allegedly they are even worse off camera. So no thanks. But happy to help with menus if anyone else enters (tho can't top Cod's Prawn curry followed by lemon drizzle cake!)

Oh what a brilliant idea (but not me, I'd be rubbish.)

Lapin must enter - she makes parmesan ice cream and talks about whipping up a quick sabayon.

What time of the year will it be recorded at? You get brownie points for being seasonal(and minuses for not being seasonal)

That is a lovely menu COV, lucky dh

COV I was wondering about steak with horseradish mash although mine was with "seasonal veg" and with a spicy parsnip soup for starter and chocolate roulade for dessert. Mine is so much more pedestrian

You MUST enter.

anyway cod whcih would you do?

There seems to be a middle ground you must hit to be sucessful. ie you must do something complicated enough to show that you can actually cook yet not too complicated as to be fussy or too risky.
I have noticed that unless the soup is amazing they are not too impressed with soup. A chef should be able to make really good soup as a matter of course iyswim so I think you need something a little more tricky TF. What else can you do?

Mine certainly will be done under pressure. I also have to bake 48 white chocolate frosted cupcakes with handmade pink icing roses and leaves and cellophane wrapped bags of white/pink/mint coloured heart shaped peppermint creams (at dd's request, next tiem I will keep quite and choose what to make) for dd's school valentines cake sale on the same day!

BTW may I point out I'm not entering

Not yet

When would I find the time? Inbetween decluttering and redocarating my entire house, toilet training ds, learning the piano, being chairperson of the pta, taking up pilates!

Anyway I really don't think I am up to cometitive standard.
