Master chef the Professionals. Marcus, come and criticise our suveè.

[Fuckerysmuckeryboilsnspornery]

A week to go till we can snuggle down under a warm blanquette of jus.
What will this season fig and samphire be?

'You sad horrid fondant buyer'

Well. I am 10 minutes behind watching on catch up and have just seen The Look. The mask slipped there didn't it?! But I also noticed that Marcus has quite a cute button nose. Swoon.

Another chin bum supporter here! Go Sven!

An so to the offices of Messrs Posset & Rhubarb (PR consultants) one year ago...

Marcus Sneering: I'm so horrified, I've just seen myself on television. I'm horrible. I think I've self sabotaged my career.

Posset & Rhubarb: don't worry Marcus, we've helped Tom Kitchin soften his gimlet eye, and loosened his curls, we can help you too ...

Marcus Sneering: but... but... what do I do?

Posset & Rhubarb: 1. keep referring to dishes of your Lancashire childhood, evoking home comforts, humility and all things wholesome, 2. smile (but try not to be too wolverine about it) and 3. hold a bowl of whipped meringues over your head. If all else fails ... make a chocolate pudding ... .

Those are for lots and lots of contributions to this thread tonight. Thank you, everyone!

Yes it is funny how each episode they say

Marcus's dishes are inspired by his childhood/mum/grandma/puppies/kittens/his crochet

Just a down-to-earth, normal psychopath bloke

Even psychopaths have happy memories and loved ones. Granted the loved ones may have died in a mysterious and unsolved mystery when the psychopath was 12 but still.......

Love, love, love Posset and Rhubarb's image overhaul. Suppress scary lupine tendencies, emphasise soppy labrador.

Just seen the Look.

It was better than I could have hoped for.

Has anyone in real life ever made pea puree?

I missed both days this week, gah, stupid work commitments.
Is "the look" worth going on iPlayer for? Does anyone know roughly how many minutes in it occurs?

Or any kind of foam?

Igneococcus it's about ten minutes from the end

Thanks thisfencels I'll have a look later.
I hope I make it home in time for tonight's episode, it seems I missed an interesting week.

Am proper wheezy laughing at some of the stuff on this thread

Loved The Look! Get rid of Greg and have more Looks - it'd make much better telly.

We have pea puree quite a lot - blitzed peas and a shitload of Boursin

I make pea puree too. Peas, cream, mint. Delicious.

It does feel a bit 90's though, I need to up my game and move on to samphire foam and maybe some smoke. Can't beat a hearty plate of smoke.

I'm definitely doing trifle served with dry ice at Christmas. Professional.

Evening. I'm here tonight for the beignet of scraps and the turret of despair.

Ooo goodie, leftover cooking again.

Evening CW beignet away!

I do like Katherine.

I don't like the gimlet eyed cocky eejit who keeps proudly proclaiming 'I'm not playing it safe'.

We have one beignet already tonight in the scraps round. How many more can there be?

Ben looks like a member of East17.

The beignets by another name croquettes with parsley foam are a properly ponce tastic masterchef dish. Shame he hasn't realised that marcus isn't all that impressed by half a dish covered in stupid shit.

Chris is the name of the annoying one.

Chris is fond of DRAMATIC STATEMENTS.

Chris is an arrogant little sod isn't he...
