Professional Masterchef 2019: Chefs who can cook things properly are rare.

[GrouchyKiwi]

First thread.

Will anyone manage to cook anything all the way through?

I like this chef. I hope he does a good job.

Builder who looks like a badger! Only been cooking 3.5 years. This should be good

Eeek what is he doing ?????

HELLO BEN!!

Scary start, Ben.

An ex-builder with Crohn's and a Mallen streak. Interesting.

Yes, I know, Potter . I'm a heathen. It's the texture, it's too gloopy.

Oh god... oh Ben. You've made me look a fool. Ben, Ben, Ben. SMH.

Sorry builders bum but I won't be eating that methinks

He ain't gonna do it.

Ben's risotto might be lacking but man alive, he is well tasty....

Halsall The Mallen Streak....takes me back....

Oh Ben. How are you going to decorate our screens for a long time if you cook like that?

Bit easier than razor clams and offal!

@Halsall ah yer grand. You mentioned the golden word: texture. I am a fiend there. I'm so particular about textures. Like soggy carrots 🤮

BIWI we should have kept it - it's selling for £46 on Amazon.

For anyone joining me in the "Jay Rayner Appreciation Club", I enjoyed his article this week about Christmas dinners:

Bye bye Ben ( he could have been our bit of rough)

Oh dear. Poor showing from the silver fox.

I still would

Oh no. Don't say those fatal words, Ben.

Let's all sing......Things can only get better ......

I love Jay Raynor but I'm a bit behind you lot.

Risotto ends up being my default dish when eating at pizza/pasta places. I long for a really good one.
I'd love to work at somewhere that has a private chef.

Unusual to have an older British woman, by older I mean above 25, not real life older.

Come on, rather posh private dining chef lady. Don't let us down here.

Oooohhh classy

Georgie knows what she's doing. Hurrah. At last.
