Master Chef Professionals. Part II.We all live for Thursdays. A main of Marcus with a side of Jay.

[Ohwhatfuckeryisthis]

And not a Gregg's sausage roll to be seen.

Salmon two ways. Of course. And one suveed. How innovative.
Luciano lost me at coconut. bleurgh.
Overly dramatic music to try and make it interesting.

Trying to kill Monica with a fish bone is not a good career move.

It's a shame these two were paired together and other, stronger, chefs were up against each other.

Surely Brian has to win this.

Hers was amateurish, fancy not boning the fish.
His is another level. I love petit pois francais. Could eat it by the bowl.

DH just said unless it tastes like dogshit, he's through.

That was about as close as a race between me and usain bolt.

The food from the chef tomorrow looks really nice, just from the 'next time on' bit.

Until tomorrow.

Why did they ever let her though?

Tomorrow looks interesting.

Did Jonathan throw a tea towel across the room in the 'next time on...' bit, or did I imagine it?

Hmm no one else got the kissy oh you were wonderful treatment.
Anyway, a bientot.

Holy God in Heaven Luciana's meal looked like a bowl of medieval slops!

Even if her food had been amazing she would still have had to go if only for that bloody sea lion honking laugh of hers..............and for kissing Marcus.

I love fish so I thought the dishes at Outlaw's looked delicious. I am easily swayed by a good-looking lump of fish, though.

Can't believe how badly Luciana cooked.

I think she was hoping to 'do a Shelina', and sail through by doing exotic 'forren' food. Problem was Greg wasn't there to flirt with, and Brazilian food looks rather heavy on such grimness as okra and tapioca.

She hasn't encouraged me to delve into the world of Brazilian cuisine, that's fo' sho'.

It is glorious being Gregg-less though.

As we call him, 'seasoned watch-wearer Greg Wallace'. His only function seems to be to remind people of the time, in case they have no timer, watch or, indeed, eyes.

We also like the way the chefs say "It was so encouraging to get such great feedback from Marcus and Monica.

.... oh, and the other guy."

Don't forget he does a strong line in grimacing, hand rubbing and saying 'I love pudding'. Proper skills I'm sure you'll agree.

I love when a dish gets slated by Monica and Marcus but Gregg says he loves it. It takes all the contestant's effort to pretend they give two hoots about what he thinks.

Evening. It's absolutely glorious being greg-less. He really adds nothing good to the show.

He also shovels food into his mouth with all the grace of a messy toddler. There's that contribution.

Good evening. Yummy food tonight I hope.

Is that crab ice cream and jelly?

Looks fabulous though. I'd eat that.

Arf at refusing to let anyone else quenelle the sorbet or drizzle the sauce.
