MasterChef is great tonight!

[j*oono]

Am I the only person here that still loves the show?

[flashie*]

Ilikeittoo....................but I am too busy of a night to watch it............so I wait for the replays on Saturday.

[j*oono]

Well it was a good start.  There were some really good cooks on the show tonight.

My sons reckon I should be on the show but I don't think they would accept lamb rolls with squashed roast potatoes.

The promos were a little bit deceptive.  I thought I would not like the person but she was lovely and I'd love to make a laksa like that.

I had not seen any promos j*oono but my niece had been texting me reminding me to watch it lol

I enjoyed it - makes a far better format to MKR which appeared to be more of a personality contest where the cooking ran a very poor last.  

I have to say though that the questionable 'table manners' of some (both competitors and judges) on both shows  really puts me off

I will persevere with watching it though

With the challenge tonight I would probably have done a kedgeree.

An old English breakfast dish that probably came from India originally.  It's a curried rice and smoked fish concoction with boiled eggs.  

I have a really good and easy recipe if anyone wants it.  It's more of a weekend lunch thing for me though.

Gosh j*oono - had forgotten all about kedgerees.

Given her Indian (I think) heritage, I am surprised that English girl did not consider something like that also.  Perhaps it is a generational thing though and she might never had had it ........ seems unlikely though.

Would love you to put your recipe up here please  

Great show tonight!

[j*oono]

 

As luck would have it I've got a link to this one I've been making.   It's another freebie Coles recipe and dead easy.

It would be a generation thing.  I remember my mum making it in England and I would have been very young then. I'm pretty sure she made it with shrimp and I've tried it with smoked cod.

Thanks j*oono

Poor Deepali - imagine having to cook that dish if you have never eaten beef.  She gave it a jolly good 'go' at least.

[j*oono]

She did quite well.  You can already see who is a stayer and who is a goer can't you.

I'm glad Nick made it.  I thought he would be out tonight because he only seems to make sweet things and desserts. It will be good to see that he can do other stuff too.

[mtnlane]

She did do well despite her constraints.

I was glad Nick made it too - was concerned given his preference for desserts, but he is on a huge learning curve and is obviously willing to extend himself.
