Masterchef

[Kaz]

It truly sounds revolting to me! But then I have very pedestrian tastes in food

[Rodo]

You can't beat good ingredients cooked well in a simple way - well that's my opinion fwiw

[Kaz]

Mine too - I am always the one picking the simplest things from the menu

[Diflower]

Sigh...Debih wouldn't it be wonderful if we could just say 'let's go'! I bet every mouthful would be fantastic.

And actually Kaz, I know it sounds peculiar, but for instance one of the 'savoury lollies' was salmon mouse wrapped with a line of avocado and one of horseradish (I think). The food itself is not weird, it's the methods and design that are bonkers

Debih did you hear what they said, there are forty chefs! Forty!!!
It's completely mad, but it's like the equivalent of haute couture isn't it

(Edited) - Kaz and Rodo you've both posted while I was typing.
I'm exactly the same! I cook simply and order simply too.
But, like the dishes we saw from Michel Roux jnr, I would also absolutely love to try the truly best of the best

I know - 40 chefs for a 42 cover restaurant. Amazing! And he said that some of the dishes can take up to a week to prepare.

But I like my food hot

To be quite honest, I wouldn't want to eat there, far too pretentious for me, sorry.

I'd much rather eat in Tom Kerridge's place

On my Bucket List!

Those two chefs who were mentioned as having died, were they killed in a skiing accident? I seem to remember reading something about it a while ago. I just wondered if they were the two senior chaps.

[Rodo]

Just found the article. It was a traffic accident and I don't recognise either of them.

Oh yes to Tom Kerridge too Ton. Loved him and his style of cooking and the relaxed atmosphere and far more affordable.
