meeeh, I was expecting you to say that you were the redhead (or possibly the indian chef).. Disappointing.

Hahahahahahahaha!

Yeah she's a little hottie alright, in her 60's go go gear

They could do with a take away delivery of melanin as well.

Eva seems like a right dragon. If I ever went on a date with her I'd bring her to McDonald's just to piss her off.

oh man, memories come flooding back to me of when I brought the ex to McD's for her birthday... So that's where it went wrong.

Yeah, there's something smug about her alright, makes you want to do the opposite to what she says!:D

I've retitled this show as "Take On My Patience"...

amdublin

Awww I feel sorry for the poor little Indians

Very gracious in defeat

amdublin

I don't get the concept tho.....

Like is "DR" Eva there to try encourage people to cook healthier??? Like all the chefs do is literally cook a takeaway at home - same amount of salt, cooked in fat/oil etc

Silly program!

Eva should do be made do a Super Size me program where she is made eat McDonalds everyday

Well as I said on the other thread (which I'm sure amdub will be rapped on the knuckles about, having started another one), the program isnt exactly testing anything... Delivered takeaway meal vs Professional chef cooking supermarket ingredients in your house, and given a time constraint.. It's not a realistic choice for any person watching the show, plus they dont take account of the ESB costs for cooking the damned thing, or the time taken/fuel used getting to and from the supermarket..

Awww I feel sorry for the poor little Indians

would ye fek off, coming over here ... taking our women.... taking the jobs of professional chefs (who apparently otherwise would be in people's homes cooking them dinner).

Its an awful show, when i saw it a few times on the bbc i don't remember a "Dr eve" person in it, maybe there was & just was't as annoying.

i didn't see this episode, but the night derry clarke was on, when she was buying the food in the supermarket, she kept asking him "do you accept or reject" for every single item, he looked like he was ready to scream down the phone at her. Pointless progamme

Is Dr. Eva South African?

Hasnt the series been one big ad for takeaways. For the cost of making your own, the professional chef never gets that many taste points ahead.

The narrator on the program grates. The odd sarky comment, the sense of panic as the delivery begins. The countdown in the supermarket. Poor progam - the quick cuts, the nutritionist who doesnt know couscous, the lack of a point. The pointless blinding of the participants when its clear which ones are from the takeaway - tipped out from a box. It was on at 10 am on BBC I think at one stage, that is about the time slot it deserved.

Have to say that of all the chefs on tv, Neven Maguire seems the "soundest" or the one with least ego. Maybe some of his employees would say otherwise, but he always comes across as down to earth on tv.

That wasn't a Korma, it wasn't pilau rice and he just stuck the naans in the toaster.
Isn't the poinjt of a take away that you don't feel like cooking? I was waiting for the chef to say "Now get in there and wash the pots love while your fella tucks in"

The show is total crap, that take away looked gorgeous though.

Morgans

Yeah, i know they are on telly and all but the fact that India Link takeaway seemed to be so disappointed to lose, and the care they take in making their food only makes me feel more confident ordering take away. Not sure that this was what the program makers had in mind.

I can't believe how terrible the show was. Now, I can say from experience that India Link is absolutely delish, but I can't help but feel the chef/RTE cheated a bit. First off, meals from IL include rice or nan, so the price quoted by RTE is wrong. Secondly, they didn't taste the nan that was delivered compared to the ready made stuff the chef bought, no way the toasted one would have stood up to the tandoor oven-made one. Plus, doesn't buying ready-made nan from superquinn sort of go against the motivation for the show? I mean, you're taking on a takeaway with ready-made food? Plus, why, oh why was that nutritionist even there? Apart from asking "do you accept or reject", of course.

I watched this for the first time last night. The one that Nevan made didn't even look right. The takeaway one looked delicious and I'm not even a fan of Indian food. I really don't understand why they let him just buy naan bread in the supermarket or why he didn't have to do the rice properly. Also he said that his korma should be simmered for 45 minutes but he didn't do that. Surely to complete the meal properly he should have had to...well, complete the meal!

I think the takeaway got a raw deal here.

And being obnoxious by suggesting Nevan should add some grated carrot or steamed broccoli to the meal. Feck off, if someone wants a takeaway then they probably don't mind the lack of nutritional value.
