I had the misfortune to see one the other day and it's only gotten worse. I don't remember them giving tedious names to the dishes before. And as for the whole NHS thing, f

There's so much filler and so little content. And that's assuming you actually want to see the bks they serve up in the first place.

I also like the way the chefs are no longer the big names - one of the issues with the early series was the same chefs repeatedly winning. Sure a lot of the entrants are probably hoping for visibility and increased bookings at their restaurants, but it's a big risk as well.
On Australian Master Chef - cheers for that, I'd have missed it otherwise as it's my favourite cooking show. Was a bit concerned at first that they were toning things down and the 'surprise' round I thought was poor as two of the three in the cook off were ones who took risks and it backfired, where as we saw many safe 'unsurprising' dishes.

It's a relief I can't decipher some of the Ulster accents to be honest.
On a more serious note, I think this series works better to have a presenter rather than the previous format where the "dialogue" was all banter between the contestants.

I feel sorry for the sea buckthorn they will cook it into extinction. It's a relief I can't decipher some of the Ulster accents to be honest.

Agree about the presenter she’s growing on me.
I’m not sure many have really hit the brief though there will be children at the banquet nobody has cooked a dish that children will eat. Where’s the fun in the dishes?

I am watching this because the OH is an enthusiastic cook. My main joy is listening to the b
ks they come out with trying to associate food with children's literature.
