It's going to start getting serious soon. Bring on the mass catering challenge!

There is no end to my talents, Footle

I always wonder whether doing something '36 ways' is hedging your bets. Even if some of them don't quite work you"ve hopefully got 24 other ways to impress.

Bit better than a country cook eh Torode you patronising git. Well done Alex.

Sod it. Forgot. Have I missed anything interesting?

Look, so far we've had variations of fish and tomato sauce. 5/10 must try harder

Halsall, nice find!

"Patronising git" was what went through my mind, too four

Oh dear. I think Amal is going.

Cow pie!

His mother will be in there, knocking back the gin that was leftover from the mackerel . . .

veg tower is a bit weird. Gregg foad

Ugh. Gregg is extra annoying today.

That pie looked amazing.

You're right four!

Desperate Dan will be along any minute!

Why two pies? I mean, I'm all up for two pies, but the big old steak pie just looks incongruous sitting there...

They're in red & blue teams Grouchy. Half cook today (I think). Recipes inspired by family. We've had nans and contortionists referenced.

Gregg foad? Been on the smoked gin Mackerel pencil?

half empty plate ✔️
Havent seen one of those for a while

Mmmmm . . . the way Gregggg is looking at her . . .

. . . do you think he's mentally ordering another wedding cake?

What is the point of putting food on half the plate. It really annoys me

You missed the tiny box, Grouch, with Paul's miniature mum inside. Well you had to be there.

And Alex did well, Grouchy. Amal not so well, sadly.

Fuck off and die - or a variety of toad I suppose

The base of that cheesecake looks like mince

The half a plate thing annoys me too. It just looks weird.

Deconstructed.

What our bloody lives are thanks to BBC schedulers.
