again tonight. I hope it improves as much as the Australian one did in its second series. I see that they've releaed a book of recipes from the first series. Do you think they'll bring out a magazine to cover this series?

I love to watch it, but has anyone here actually been inspired to make many of the recipes?It is in the genre of Idol TV, and for many I suspect the appeal is not so much the cooking but the zany competitive kitchen, the joys and the heartbreak.

Entertainment first you reckon Ellie? Interesting though that the magazine was a huge seller in OZ, so I guess someone cooked something out of them.

I made the chocolate marquise and tuiles from last season - in cupcake form - but then I may be crazier than many. ;-) The marquise was fantastic, though. The invention challenge recipes I probably wouldn't bother with. You're absolutely right though, elliehen, about it being about the drama more than the food.

Wasn't it that very tall, burly Australian 'Matt' someone-or-other?The one with longish dark hair who twirled his cufflinks?Looked a bit like someone from The Sopranos.

Ray "wooden" Vinnie is only missing his Puppet strings....unusualguy but still likeable....Certainly some great contenders for the title !!!!!

Re the vego - I thought that was fair enough. If he wants to be in the competition he'll have to cook some meat and he'll have to check the taste. Actually I thought his report of the flavours he tasted was weak and wasn't good enough for the competition. We'll see how he goes. Seems to be a much higher standard this year, and perhaps some in there because they're zany characters and entertaining.

Sorry, if that was me, HUGE problems would have come about!! I have a phobia of meat and bones! I can cook it now for everyone (not all meats) And that would have put me back where I would have had my own dishes for cooking and not being able to cook it. I COOK BY SMELL !! My partner is amazed how I can cook meat and get it sooo nice without tasting it!! Salt is the only thing that tends to trip me up!!

Not funny when you have repetitive nightmaresto the point you are afraid to sleep!!and panic attacks about meat!! Sorry, BUT thats NOT fair or funny!!

Ah, but you're wise enough not to enter a competition that isn't a strictly vegetarian cooking competition. Good for you lx4000.

But knowing some one is veggie, you don't blind fold them and get them to eat it! For some, its not a choice!!

I would have thought it was fair had it have been a 'regular' cut of meat, but I would think many people who do eat meat would not wish to eat brains - me included.
Complete abuse of power by the judge!I hate bullies.And brains!
