Don't you find the sous chef lady terrifying? Michel is so laid back and kind to them all but she is so severe. She has us all in fits with some of the faces she pulls when they try and make up what to do when they don't know.Rosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08459305021803770946noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-618358253237839493.post-63236013675389134822009-09-29T12:39:52.037+01:002009-09-29T12:39:52.037+01:00Loved the skills test last night - who knew about...Loved the skills test last night - who knew about turning veg was so precise? xxTop Bird @ Wee Birdyhttp://www.weebirdy.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-618358253237839493.post-60576613567114803052009-09-29T10:07:00.691+01:002009-09-29T10:07:00.691+01:00Whenever I see the words 'The Professionals...Whenever I see the words 'The Professionals' I think of the lovely Bodie & Doyle! But before I go into daydreams... I agree cookery shows can be compelling - I remember getting right into 'Can't Cook Won't Cook' when I was at University - I couldn't believe what they could cook from a starter of one onion and a small cabbage. Nowadays if I watch any it would be Masterchef - something strangely soothing about watching others cook (although I cannot watch it if hungry - go demented!)Jaynehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11309191526500602452noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-618358253237839493.post-89637666227122555832009-09-29T09:07:34.281+01:002009-09-29T09:07:34.281+01:00Hi Daily- that sounds similar yes- Masterchef is a...Hi Daily- that sounds similar yes- Masterchef is a whole family of shows but this one is my favourite. Cookery programmes are so relaxing, I'm not sure why though!<br /><br />Hi Scentscelf- I haven't seen Julie and Julia yet but really want to! Yes cooking shows are compelling, there's tension, learning, the fact you want to eat the food- although they are quite frenetic I find them quite relaxing and calming. Plus there's the genius of the professional chefs like Michel Roux and Gordon Ramsay- people at the top of their game in the world.Rosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08459305021803770946noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-618358253237839493.post-3769726412236770312009-09-29T04:38:54.898+01:002009-09-29T04:38:54.898+01:00Quite a few moons ago, my then very young son and ...Quite a few moons ago, my then very young son and I were stuck in a motel room in the woods and rifled through the cable channels. Whoa-za! Iron Chef!! The original. We were fascinated, from concept to overdubbed execution. <br /><br />Something about cooking shows provides plenty of entertainment, both on a direct/useful level, and then on a level beyond...hence, we can watch Julia, AND Chevy Chase and/or Meryl Streep as Julia. :) <br /><br />Enjoy your Masterchef! I agree, there is something about seeing it "live" vs post broadcast. Squid gutting not required. ;)ScentScelfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12264276265890227820noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-618358253237839493.post-79121101707585961792009-09-28T17:38:09.485+01:002009-09-28T17:38:09.485+01:00This sounds like the shoe Top Chef that I am obses...This sounds like the shoe Top Chef that I am obsessed with in America- Who knew a cooking competition could be so compelling?The Daily Connoisseurhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13843902889491327636noreply@blogger.com
