Be afraid, be very afraid. Of Giorgio. Sleb Masterchef Thread 2

[Halsall]

Cook-alonga-slebs, continued.

The girls all did very well. I have a favourite but all three are deserving potential winners

That was intense! We'll need one more thread but let's finish this one first and I'll have a new one ready to go on Friday when we need it.

Gawd they did so well. And it wasnt pretend like they did it on their own

was good and enjoyed it

Til Friday so

I had a suspicion we would. Its the acceptable time Friday isn't it?

Thank you

i must be very out of touch with the culinary world because i cannot understand what James Martin is doing at that table.

They were all amazing. It was good to see them working as a team with the staff - they usually make it seem they do it all but that's not how a kitchen works. It's great to see them learning!
I also have a favourite but I really like all three so don't mind who wins. There is usually one I dislike so this make a pleasant change! Will be in a chemo bubble on Friday so will be watching from my bed with lots of Ribena!

Why do you think he shouldn't have been there?

because the other people at the table looked like chefs with michelin stars to their names.

to me James Martin is a TV chef, but as i said on my post, i’m out of touch with the culinary world and he must be more respected than i thought.

He's worked in Michelin starred restaurants and got a Michelin star for his restaurant at the Talbot Hotel, Malton.

I think your view of him as a TV chef may have coloured your judgement.

Me too, its fabulous. Lisa is one of my favourite chefs.
Why was James Martin there. I know he was a well know pastry chef, but he's no Alain Roux or Raymond Blanc!

Sad Sue left, but curse of the baa-ing lamb.

I really like all 3 so I don't mind who wins. Looks like the final is live only, not on iplayer.

Just read @Needtosoundoffandbreathepost, many apologies to JM

@Pieceofpurplesky Hugs to you hope all goes well! x

@Brooklyn70 and @gingercat02 I was kind of wondering that too and he did seem a bit out of his depth with his comments. Good to know he has a Michelin star so it now makes sense.

To me, James Martin doesn’t really feel part of the 'club' - if there is such a thing - of chefs who usually appear in the later rounds of MC. He does have a higher profile than many of them (multiple TV series etc - something or other of his is virtually always running on the Food Network, for instance), so personally I was a bit surprised to see him, as in my head he comes across as someone who’s not much of a 'joiner-in', if that makes sense. He very much ploughs his own furrow, usually.

I missed watchinglast night and catching up now. I just dont feel like this lot are as skilled as the last series with grace and John (Ginger , Alum-Wynn etc ) who seemed to be on fine dining by this stage. Just an observation As you were

Missed last night as well! Catchup it is, may watch tomorrow’s while I’m at it

I truly hope Jasmine does not win this; she was so annoying last night at the Ritz, whereas the other two were taking it so professionally.

Apologies; where the heck did ‘Jasmine’ come from??? I meant Shakira 🙄🥴

I was like whodafuk is Jasmine?!? 🤣🤣

I do kinda agree with you. She is grating on me something rotten out of all of them. Mind you girl has got skills. I honestly cant call it yet. Will see how this evening progresses.

I do hope we dont get half an hour of waffle a la normal and professional MC.

I have coffee and walnut cake to enjoy later 🤤

I do hope we dont get half an hour of waffle a la normal and professional MC

@PotterHead1985 Betcha a big slice of that coffee & walnut cake that we do! 😋

May they all win. Great all women team tonight and they are all brilliant.

A girl can dream!

Prefer tiramisu, a delicious chewy meringue a la baked Alaska and black forest gateaux.

Edit so 70/80s
