Sous vide samphire at the ready - Masterchef The Professionals is back!

[squoosh]

BBC2 Tuesday 8th November.

Yipee. Although wasn't there already a Professionals series this year? When a gangly bespectacled man won?

Oh well, I'm not complaining. I get to feast my eyes on lovely, smiley, sunny natured, Marcus. When that oaf Gregg Wallace isn't getting in my way that is.

The lovely but stern Monica is back too.

Hooray!

I still miss Michel.

He misses you too and thinks of you often.

You're the best, squoosh.

Fantastic!

Yay!

Why don't they get rid of the charmless green grocer? 😩

I really want a frangipane tart now 😢

I am surprised not more posters on this new series - early days yet I suppose.
So glad Elly got through - anyone who can use a ruler to cut a straight line in cooking deserves admiration and in fact hers was the only dish which looked appetising rather than chuck the lot on the plate.
How can someone call themselves a chef and not know tthat a steak for steak diane will not cook in front of the customers unless you speed things up a bit

I can't warm to Marcus and I'm not sure about Monica's hair.

Thanks for the new thread squoosh. Time to start the Marcus fanclub up again!

Was so glad Elly got through - she was fab.

I'm not sure about Monica's hair either, although I'm very glad she got rid of those awful red glasses. They were total shockers

Gregg is just ugh, truly ugh

aaargh - there is a bigger, longer, newer thread on this will abandon this one.

Squoosh I am so sorry when I searched I didn't see this thread so started another one here :
