How can a professional chef fuck up a roux? I realise it's stressful, and I wouldn't like to have to cook in front of Marcus or Monica, but making a cheese sauce should be something they can do in their sleep!

(I realise I'm commenting after the fact, but we didn't watch it live!)

@BIWI that was my thought exactly. I mean, I can understand not knowing how to deal with sea urchin or the seven layers of membrane in monkfish (who knew?) but a roux is something we all make at home as non-professional chefs. Cauli cheese is a family staple for most people as is a bechamel for lasagne 🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️

She would have performed better if GregG had shouted his usual helpful advice NOT NERVOUS ARE YOU? STOP SHAKING. I always find it so calming.

I have saved a curly whirly from the trick or treaters, so looking forward to chewing along!

Evening all

GrouchyKiwi · 31/10/2023 20:03

Hi all!

We have a full tub of Celebrations and no guisers came to visit, so that's delightful.

Sunbird24 · 31/10/2023 20:03

Hello! I don’t have any Halloween goodies so making do with a bottle of Pepsi max…

Halsall · 31/10/2023 20:03

Evening all. More women tonight. Why clump them together, though?

fourquenelles · 31/10/2023 20:03

Evening! Paramedics on standby

Blueberrycreampie · 31/10/2023 20:04

Evening all ooh scallops - could be a disaster.

littlbrowndog · 31/10/2023 20:04

Carrots

FuckingHellAdele · 31/10/2023 20:04

Hello!

Has MonMon lost her mind with these recipes?

EsmaCannonball · 31/10/2023 20:04

Seafood, peanuts and carrot ..... Hmmm.

fourquenelles · 31/10/2023 20:05

Grated roe? Who knew?

Halsall · 31/10/2023 20:05

Scallop tripe isn’t something that springs to the top of my culinary wishlist.

FuckingHellAdele · 31/10/2023 20:05

I insist my peanuts come with a side of shellfish and root veg.

AutumnCrow · 31/10/2023 20:06

Hello Smile

This looks ... interesting, Mon.

viques · 31/10/2023 20:06

Good evening all. Looking forward to the skills test tonight after the strange going on last time! Actually I am up for anything, I am eating a strange mix tonight since I had to clear a space. In the freezer to accommodate the cats food. So very old breaded Camembert and a cheesy potato dauphinoise. Yum ( not)

Having said I am up for anything I don’t think I like the sound of Monica’s carrot and scallop and peanut sauce!

FoFanta · 31/10/2023 20:06

Foreshadowing of a contestant soaking their scallop in water for hours on end!

TheDogsMother · 31/10/2023 20:07

Evening Chuffs. I've just served DH a jacket potato with a baked bean jus and a cheddar cheese garnish.

Monica's dish looks pretty.

BIWI · 31/10/2023 20:07

Seems quite straightforward for Monica!

Halsall · 31/10/2023 20:07

Evelina's picked up the accent!

TheDogsMother · 31/10/2023 20:08

She has Halsall ! Foraging ✔️

fourquenelles · 31/10/2023 20:09

Foraging with Mum DRINK

Halsall · 31/10/2023 20:09

I love hearing unusual blended accents.
