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.

redecorating

Oh fgs CoV you would walk it, it is exactly the type of thing that you could slot into your busy life C'mon just enter and keep Tigerfeet company

I love nz food mags actually LA, I used to work with a fabulous kiwi chef and he had loads of them, they were great.

Have added that sight to "favourites" will have a good nosey later.

link this time

Excellent I will of course be persecuting you around the board to enter it

ComeOVeneer, you sound like a contender to me. I would love to do it myself, but although I think my cooking is probably good enough to at least get on the competition( presumably they do some knock out rounds off the telly?) I just don't fancy being on tv really, too nerve wracking.
I think the presenters say some really stupid things sometimes, and contradictory things as well. John Torrode is fond of decreeing that this flavour doesn't go with that one, and often I am thinking to myself "bo*ll%$s".
Also I think to win now, you have to want to be a chief don't you, not just prove your cooking abilities. I don't want to be a chief I'm afraid
I would support any MN contenders 100% though

Yes I was a bit suspect that they thought that orange and butternut squash didn't go together as I think they do but perhaps the contestant had overdone the orange.

Exactly Carmenere, she may have overdone the orange, but its the way he is so dogmatic about things that get my back up. I have also heard him say (god can't think of any examples) that things don't go when I know that I have recipes for those combinations in various cook books. So obviously other chiefs don't agree with him. Old Torrode seems to make it up as he goes along

ooh - two brave souls have entered!

I heart Gregg so no contest for me

John Torode is exceptionally icky - the way he opens his mouth wider than the Dartford Tunnel to taste anything is most off putting

God I couldn't do it - I can cook OK but I go all red-in-the-face in my own kitchen so god knows what I wuld look like on TV. Glow-in-the-dark.

ooh i'd love to but i'm a veggie and couldn't bring myself to cook meat

they'd prob throw me in the pro kitchen and ask me to cook rare steak

My DD has just entered a school version of 'Masterchef', She spends her life reading cookery books or "Good Food" magazine. She is only 10 but frequently makes dinner for all of us and loves doing so, we have to wash up though!!!
We let her stay up a bit later to watch Masterchef and she wants the 18yr old to win.

I love that Serin, so useful

Oh sorry!
But I am really proud of her as I am not a great cook at all and DH is even worse!
If you could wait a few years I'm sure she'd be proud to stand up there in a Mumsnet T shirt.
I was going to add that at the end but had to cut post short as DS1 is not well!
Nothing he ate!

Its brilliant that your dd loves cooking so much Serin, I am trying to instill a love of cooking in my three dss. So far it seems to be paying off
