OR, you could watch a gardening show, get inspired to produce stuff, then use the produce in your kitchen after you watch the cooking shows showing you how to cook.

Way to hijack a cooking thread!

jeebers, if I wanted to be reading about gardening shows I guess I'd be over on the gardening board (or whatever they call it)

Nah no spoilers. Just commenting.
That couscous part was pathetic. I could not believe myself how you can get something so simple wrong. i think she was cooking it wrong or atleast not the way I would do it.

I wonder if there'll be a NZ version! Surely there are enough people prepared to make idiots of themselves on tv - and maybe a couple who can cook too!

It is getting too scripted and ridiculous as this series progresses - if you were going to use a specific fresh ingredient for the main component of your dish you would make sure it was available not use up all your prep time travelling an hour to buy it

I agree. I was also commenting to my husband last night that why would not pick up some extras as a safe measure rather than buy the exact amount you need if something goes wrong (which it does under pressure) so that you can whip up another batch. Mostly it is just your basic ingredients. I also don't get why they can not substitute something rather than travel an hour away and then not have enough prep time left. Or if it is something you know that may not be available like a certain type of sea food then to order it a few days ahead.

I was laughing at those girls cos they hardly ate and said the portions were too big and when they got the one cutlet they complained it was too small.

love MKR. Can't stand the 'spice girls'. one minute they pick on their food and say the quantity's too big. then programme 3, they said the starter of one cutlet was too little. love the father and son team and hope they win!

I bet they're going to play dirty with their marks for the next meals as pay back.

but one team dropping their score, isn't going to mean a score as their current school. 41!
lodgelocum,
Feb 26, 5:21am
Bet they do, but the final two teams would have to be real bad to get lower than them.looking forward to tonight's show, should be good.

Even Peter and Gary could cook better than that! And they specialised in serving several hours late too. That poor guy from Tassie looked starving.

Those two girls are pathetic, scoring a 1! at least they got a 3 for their epic fail meal.Hope the judges are more generous.

Well at least the judges scored better than the other contestants. They obviously didn't know what "al dente" pasta is supposed to be like, and thought it was undercooked. So consequently the contestants scored too low, because of their ignorance. I thought the entree and the dessert were pretty good for amateurs.

Good luck to the last couple tonight in this round, god sakes I hope their cooking is up to par and they beat the girls.
