How do they keep it warm? One of the mysteries of masterchef 🤷‍♀️

They don't, apparently!

is that all the cooking? If so I think that was about 16 minutes, out of an hour long programme

I was thinking that.

She probably earned a fair whack in mining herself and may have been able to save to have some time off.

Three Londoners! 👏 🍴

I agree @viques. I think I can cook but actually I’m just good at following recipes.

I just imagine it as chemistry.

I thought that maki looked huge, but then Grace ate it in one, but then she said about eating it in one so....

I’m not sure that they do. I remember the lovely Jay Rayner being asked that and saying that they taste a lot of ‘cool’ dishes.

Ohwhatfuckeryitistoride · 05/06/2026 20:41

Matt -criticism. Out.

ilovesooty · 05/06/2026 20:41

Not a perfect main course.

ShamedBySiri · 05/06/2026 20:41

Matt’s pudding looks bigger than the main course.

littlbrowndog · 05/06/2026 20:42

I think Matt out as well

LaMarschallin · 05/06/2026 20:42

"Could be prettier..."
"Overall a great plate of food..."
Ouch.

Halsall · 05/06/2026 20:42

Oh dear. I think if you get a 'but', that’s a bad sign…

Matts food is so beautiful, looks like something out of an up market foodie coffee table book. He is a true artist.

DeftGoldHedgehog · 05/06/2026 20:43

Matt has nailed the dessert.

I think being compared to medicine is a tad negative too

RomainingCalm · 05/06/2026 20:43

It’s unusual to get criticism in the final. Usually they praise pretty much everything. I think Matt’s out.

littlbrowndog · 05/06/2026 20:43

Grace just says the most lovely words

Same. DH does most of the cooking as he’s dairy free and fussy so I’ve just gradually backed away. When I have got bored of his same old same old then I suddenly get the impetus to try something new I saw online or that Mary Berry cooked or just something I love for a change.

Halsall · 05/06/2026 20:45

It's that sodding tuile again!

Tuille. Drink 🍷

Her vocabulary is often like an embrocation

TheDogsMother · 05/06/2026 20:45

It’s very brown.

LaMarschallin · 05/06/2026 20:45

Have I wasted my life?

No, @viques
I love cooking because I enjoy pleasing family and friends.
I wouldn't want to do MC because it would take the fun and pleasure out of cooking for me.
Of course, this could be very, very sour grapes on my part!
