    Yep just popped up on my FB feed - can't wait. Although having watched Masterchef Australia the UK one is a bit of an anti-climax!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,607 ✭✭✭Meauldsegosha


    I've watched some of MC Australia and like the format. But it goes on way too long. 80 episodes per season ranging from an hour to 90 minutes per episode. I'd get nothing done in the evenings. ðŸ˜

    Not sure about Julie's dish...pan looked a bit cold with the fish...


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 19,749 ✭✭✭✭grey_so_what


    There's a lot going on with that fishy dish....


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 19,749 ✭✭✭✭grey_so_what


    Looks like a sand castle!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 19,749 ✭✭✭✭grey_so_what


    Ginormous portion Julie!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,607 ✭✭✭Meauldsegosha


    The Indian sushi looks lovely. Hope it tastes as nice.

    It's really just beef and a salad?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 19,749 ✭✭✭✭grey_so_what


    The duck and the sushi?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,607 ✭✭✭Meauldsegosha


    That beef looked the wrong side of medium to me.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 19,749 ✭✭✭✭grey_so_what


    I think the weak link are the two ladies at the moment....


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 19,749 ✭✭✭✭grey_so_what


    I love lemon curd and tart...


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 19,749 ✭✭✭✭grey_so_what


    Ah, now Chris sounds a bit vague...


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 19,749 ✭✭✭✭grey_so_what


    Ah Julie, the tart............

    It's not great looking..


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,607 ✭✭✭Meauldsegosha


    The second pigeon looks nicely cooked.

    Think the tart women wil be in trouble.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 19,749 ✭✭✭✭grey_so_what


    I'm guessing Chris and Julie?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,607 ✭✭✭Meauldsegosha


    Oh tart woman stayed. Surprised at that.

    Hope sushi guys goes through.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 19,749 ✭✭✭✭grey_so_what


    Yeah, thought Chris will go through, he seems like he has more to offer, I think Julie won't be going too far though!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 19,749 ✭✭✭✭grey_so_what


    Sounds like a Mammy's Sunday dinner.....

    It'll be all about the presentation for Julie


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 19,749 ✭✭✭✭grey_so_what


    Chris can talk the talk all right!!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,607 ✭✭✭Meauldsegosha


    I like the sound of Chris' two dishes. I would order them on a menu.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 19,749 ✭✭✭✭grey_so_what


    Earl Grey and T-Bag biscuits......Sounds gorgeous!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,607 ✭✭✭Meauldsegosha


    Pear with lime, raspberry and pineapple???:confused:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,607 ✭✭✭Meauldsegosha


    I missed Tony's moustache. :D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 19,749 ✭✭✭✭grey_so_what


    Pear with lime, raspberry and pineapple???:confused:

    I'd boot him out on that alone...kitchen sink..

    Julie's presentation is rotten...


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 19,749 ✭✭✭✭grey_so_what


    They don't looked cooked...


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 19,749 ✭✭✭✭grey_so_what


    Gnocchi looks like chicken nuggets....


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 19,749 ✭✭✭✭grey_so_what


    I can't see any sauce?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 19,749 ✭✭✭✭grey_so_what


    Chris on the top of the bus que at the moment...


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,607 ✭✭✭Meauldsegosha


    Chris' dish sounded good but didn't live up to it.

    Will the gimmick work?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 19,749 ✭✭✭✭grey_so_what


    Looks a bit like oatmeal, I hope it tastes nice...


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 19,749 ✭✭✭✭grey_so_what


    Love the taste and smell of Earl Grey...


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,607 ✭✭✭Meauldsegosha


    Liver and onions. No thanks.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 19,749 ✭✭✭✭grey_so_what


    There's a book in that dessert....

    Love liver and onions....:D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 19,749 ✭✭✭✭grey_so_what


    I think Chris will go through..

    I'd give Earl Grey man a pass too....


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 19,749 ✭✭✭✭grey_so_what


    Ah now.....Julie....


    Mr Liver man gone I think?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,607 ✭✭✭Meauldsegosha


    I thought Julie was on her way out 40 minutes ago now she's in the quarter final. Glad Chris got through.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 19,749 ✭✭✭✭grey_so_what

    I'd have had her on the bus after the fish and the horrible skin!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 922 ✭✭✭trishasaffron


    Can only think that leaving Julie in is a sop to mammy viewers. No one who can't sear a steak should get past round one! Her menus were like 1970's "fine dining".


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 30,040 ✭✭✭✭HeidiHeidi


    As usual, posting while catching up.... so haven't checked any previous posts.

    First reaction - WTF is Yanique (or whatever her name is) doing whinging about "I really didn't want to have to cook again" - YOU ENTERED A BLOODY COOKERY COMPETITION!!!

    (aha, she's changed her tune now that the possibility of eviction has reared its head!!)

    Round 2 - three finalists from last year - the only one I recognise is yer man with the mad moustache! Hoping they're a bit more familiar when they actually talk.... I swear, I think Alzheimers is setting in here!

    oh lads.... "I'm quite confident in my gnocchi".... are they setting him up for an almighty fall??

    hah, didn't take long for the sous vide to appear.... :D

    Harumph... I see John STILL hasn't yet been to me/I grammar classes :mad:

    Steaks.... do you not need to rest them? (bearing in mind I've never managed anything other than to convert steak to shoe leather) - and what's all that about "cooked to order", not much ordering done as far as I can see :confused: Also, four steaks in one pan? Even I (through my fog of ignorance/incompetence) would know that that's a recipe for disaster!

    Oh holy God, that gnocchi dish :eek:

    Salmon looks awful.... what a shocking waste of nice cuts of fish! But they seem awfully impressed by his dessert... rice pudding, yuck! He's a bit.... odd?

    That liver dish.... I'm a huge fan of the smell and idea of liver, but the texture - euwwww! Used to be my staple diet as a kid, dunno when that changed, but I can't abide it now! Shame his dish didn't work, could have been a big winner.

    Hmmm, hard to know who should/will go.......


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,506 ✭✭✭✭Xenji


    Unfair on Joe, my sister was joking about how it looks after two episodes with the first coloured contestant gone and now the old man.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,071 ✭✭✭ebbsy


    Joe was 15 minutes late. Did that count against him ? His food looked better tho.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 30,040 ✭✭✭✭HeidiHeidi


    Gawd, only 3 through.... that was harsh!

    Poor Kai, well that was never going to happen.

    Katie I was sure would slip through, and I think it's a bit rough that she didn't - she did so well in the first round and for the critics.

    Between the two other guys, I was a bit meh... neither terribly exciting.

    The obligatory Mammy is through - and I think if she gets her presentation skills up to scratch she could go far.

    How far will the dessert girl get before a savoury/main does for her???

    Good week all round, looking forward to next week!
