New series, starts Monday the 13th (unlucky for some?) on BBC1 at 9pm. Starting on a low gas now so the Greggggg 'observations' can build up gradually to a nice rolling boil.

THANK YOU ❤️ to @MrsTommyBanks for spotting the date and sending out the Mastercheffians bat-signal Grin

What is with the micro red amaranth?

Squooosh · 11/02/2019 21:22

oily fish and creamy sauce is a bit weird.

ilovesooty · 11/02/2019 21:22

I bet she's a mumsnetter.

SchadenfreudePersonified · 11/02/2019 21:22

He's the one Squooosh.

"Wanted to help the police with their enquiries" probably features very prominently on his CV.

RomaineCalm · 11/02/2019 21:22

Lawyer Lisa looks like she might just kill Gregg.

ellenanora5 · 11/02/2019 21:23

Bloody hell Halsall I'd rather cook then be a doctor, fair play to her though

Took much Tim, pull it back a bit

I bloody hate mackerel

SchadenfreudePersonified · 11/02/2019 21:23

I thought that sooty

jay55 · 11/02/2019 21:23

Plums on toast?

OhWhatFuckeryIsThisNow · 11/02/2019 21:23

Oooo she's smug.
Think that pastry is fucked.

Macaroonmayhem · 11/02/2019 21:23

Cheerio Scottish lady ☹️

Squooosh · 11/02/2019 21:23

I'm bracing myself for Gregg talking about lovely plums.

GrouchyKiwi · 11/02/2019 21:23

The pastry looks terrible. Sorry, Maria.

GrouchyKiwi · 11/02/2019 21:24

That was a pretty rubbish round.

SchadenfreudePersonified · 11/02/2019 21:24

Squooosh

ellenanora5 · 11/02/2019 21:24

Remember the backlash last year over the crispy chicken, that was great Grin

Oh samphire.....check

ilovesooty · 11/02/2019 21:24

Pensive Tim is more frightening than smiling Tim.

RomaineCalm · 11/02/2019 21:25

Tarte tatin lady reminds me of a Scottish Lisa Faulkner.

Myimaginarycathasfleas · 11/02/2019 21:25

It's possible Gary was otherwise engaged in Thailand when he should have been perfecting his cooking skills.

That was terrible! There's no decent cooks at all really.

ellenanora5 · 11/02/2019 21:25

Tart is a disaster

RomaineCalm · 11/02/2019 21:25

Spot on Halsall!

SchadenfreudePersonified · 11/02/2019 21:26

Greggg is definitely looking weirder by the season - and he has no lips at all now. Has he worn them off, eating at such high speed that the friction has destroyed them? (Not that I want to snog him, but Shirleyphallus might be disappointed . . . )

OhWhatFuckeryIsThisNow · 11/02/2019 21:26

"Lawyer Lisa looks like she might just kill Gregg." Well, she can defend herself then.
I can't stand pink pork either, it's the texture...

ellenanora5 · 11/02/2019 21:27

Tim reminds me off a cartoon character but I can't remember which one
