Thanks El 
Mmmmm Marcus ... I will be watching ðĪĢ
Bumping for tonight.
Format as previous series starting with the infamous Skills Test. 3 of the first batch of contestants are faced with Monica's challenge and the other 3 with Marcus's. I think Monica's challenge could panic some of the contestants unless they have the necessary experience. If they don't, the result could be inedible. Marcus's seems more likely to produce edible results. Then the 6 have their own Signature Dish. As before, 3 go home, the others to the quarter-final on Thursday.

Baz posted:That looks totally gross!
I'm guessing he may find it tricky
He seems to be adding a lot of vinegar
Baz posted:He knows how to prepare the squid
It doesn't look disgusting enough
That squid looks nice
Not a bad effort
Isn't tempura supposed to be light?

Colour of that mayo 
yuck the grey mush on the plate instead of in the batter....
Oh dear....he's made a hash of it
Baz posted:Kaytee posted:Isn't tempura supposed to be light?
Thatâs my understanding ...in fact I thought it was supposed to show through
I like it a bit thicker than that but still light and crispy
Baz posted:Kaytee posted:Isn't tempura supposed to be light?
Thatâs my understanding ...in fact I thought it was supposed to show through
Yes,I always make mine like that...I don't like thick batter

Do you cook professionally? I only ask because youâre very knowledgeable.

Kaytee posted:Oh dear....he's made a hash of it
Not as much as her
No...and it looks awful
Not gone well
Amythist posted:Like her hope she does well
She hasn't ....couldn't prep the squid properly
Has she ever prepped or cooked squid before?
Have to admit I buy squid already prepped,nowt like a bit of cheating ð

Yes I used to have my own place years ago and now I do a range of stuff from cooking for a family with special dietary needs and the odd event/stall birthday cake, wedding and stuff like that...mostly veggie and a bit of vegan
