Enjoy your undercooked meat, please keep on eating it.

I will not mention which L.L. outlet said this..


..but when I asked for something well done.. I was told "We arn't allowed to do it 'Well Done' .."


Why.. ?


"Because if it 'Over done' and gets sent back, we cannot reuse it... "


If is served up Too Pink.. they can always put it back undr the grill for 2 mins... so no waste..

Totally depends on the cut - slow cooked breast with fat rendered to leave soft, juice-soaked succulence then blasted at highest heat (ideally with a sugary sticky coating)to provide a crispy charred outer is a thing of joy.


Pink best-end which still has a bleat in it and when you can almost taste the grass (grain-fed lamb is unworthy of any such care) is equally fine.


Switching the two would be folly.

Lamb is a personal choice, like some on here my preference is pink, unlike most it has to be done the French way for me, still bleating and skipping around the plate...


Looking forward with sadness to the last James Martin Saturday kitchen tomorrow.

Word

Having watched the last 2 shows, if that's what they are, then I'm still a little lost as to what's happened


It could be two things


A. I'm sober and things aren't quite as 'good' as I'd remembered


B. I'm sober and they've dumbed the show down so far, that it's not a 'good' as it used to be and I've noticed it



I was hopeful things would change as we went through the rounds, but I'm on episode 3, I'm still swearing at the screen


And I'm all for giving people a go, but what's happened to the 'nearly really' a chef contestants. Have the middle classes stopped cooking and entering this show, hence the barrel being scraped.

Now there's old geezers from Wales who quite frankly (sweet as he is no doubt) shouldn't have got to the televised rounds. Though his first mango/water cress sauce dish, with a fan of mange touts, was something to behold.

And the other, slightly odd Micheal Schumacher look a like, who's coming apart at the seams as the show goes on, is quite facinating in a 'oh dear' kind of way...but


It's bloomin' mad I tell you

You're on safe ground with Rick. His long weekends programme is all warm, cosy and make me smile


I particularly liked the Bordeux trip, so much so I'm heading there again soon

If he has so many leftovers.. when does he ever eat anything to get the left overs from..


Like he opens his fridge and finds half a 'frigging' goat at the back of it..

Great programme, I liked this 'comfort food' recipe in particular... http://www.bbc.co.uk/food/recipes/chicken_parmentier_25434

The BBC is planning to close it's online recipe section, such a shame as it's a fantastic resource.

If it definitely happens, going to have to PDF a lot of the recipes...

Not essentially a 'Cooking show' but a 4 part doc by the author Micheal Pollan


His book on the history of eating 'Cooked' is essential reading, if you're interested in what makes us human


I like Pollan very much, he makes me feel the world is ok

I absolutely loathe Rick Stein - all he ever does is sneer at British people, food, customs etc - he's a snobbish hypocritical arse (in my opinion) as he loves Brits when they spend money in his over priced restaurants...

Ah, LadyN, so true. Stein is a skin-crawling nightmare of a man with a smile like a second-hand car salesman.


"Oh how I wish we could be more like the French/Spanish/Malaysians etc..." an oily creep who is spreading over Cornwall like a virus. He is incorporating his son into shows now as he is planning to open a restaurant (on the south coast of Cornwall) which his son will run - got to get his face in front of the punters.

Michel Roux Snr (I could listen to him read the phone book, his voice is just heavenly) - he doesn't take himself too seriously, similarly Alain Roux (although he's rarely on the telly) but my favourite chef of all time has to be Pierre Koffman, he really knows his stuff and he cooked me a fab lunch on Monday (he's in the kitchen every day at Koffman's, Berkeley Hotel - he says "how can I have my name above the door if I'm not cooking there"); I confess a certain liking for James Martin (he cocks things up and laughs at himself) and Keith Floyd, a masterful chef (although he was quite chippy when I met him, granted he was a bit 'over refreshed') and who couldn't not love Graham Kerr, the Galloping Gourmet (he let me and my brother scamper all over his yacht when we were little and he was at the height of him fame)?

I think I've separated Rick on telly from Rick and his business ventures


Actually I have, not I think. I get the dig about Rick's empire. But this thread is about 'cooking shows' and I like his and his little digs at eating culture. But they're not unique to Rick, as reading Jane Grigson's English Food yesterday she ponders wether we'd rather spend money on "biscuits, home improvements or gambling" than good ingredients


And thinking about it, many people of 'the telly' are a bit odd in real life.


Who was the little ginger haired round TV chef from years ago? I met him once, and ODD was definitely the word


Antony Worrel Thompson ?

AWT was the original presenter of Saturday Kitchen I think, latterly famous for pinching stuff from Tesco (other supermarkets are available).... I used to live next door to Sophie (daughter of Jane) Grigson when she did the daily recipe for the Evening Standard. I hold her responsible in no small part for my massive weight gain in the late 80s. She used to make the recipe for 4 and try it out on me hahahaha

In his 'The Seafood Restaurant', hake & chips ?19.50... Plus you factor in the cost of getting down there, staying there etc - I object to paying London prices anywhere (including London!)

That's sounds great value! And you can get an off-peak return to Falmouth for only ?62.50, so you're really quids-in.

    • What was he doing on the stage at Glastonbury? Or on the stage at the other concert in Finsbury Park? Grinning like a Cheshire cat whilst pissed and stoned 20 somethings on the promise of free internet sung-- Oh Jeremy Corbyn---  What were his policies for Northern mining towns with no jobs or infrastructure? Free Internet and university places for youngsters. What were his other manifesto pledges? Why all the ambiguity over Brexit?  I didn't like Thatcher, Blair or May or Tony but I respected them as politicians because they stood by what they believed in. I respect all politicians across the board that stick to their principles. Corbyn didn't and its why he got  annihilated at the polls. A socialist, anti imperialist and anti capitalist that said he voted for an imperialist and pro capitalist cabal. He refused to say how he'd vote over and over again until the last knockings. He did so to appease the Islington elite and middle class students he was courting. The same people that were screaming that Brexit was racist. At the same time the EU were holding black and Asian immigrants in refugee camps overseas but not a word on that! Corbyn created and courted a student union protest movement that screamed at and shouted down anyone not on the left . They claimed Starmer and the centre right of labour were tories. He didn't get elected  because he, his movement and policies were unelectable, twice. He turned out not to have the convictions of his politics and died on his own sword.    Reform won't win an election. All the idiots that voted for them to keep out Labour actually enabled Labour. They'll be back voting tory next time.    Farage wouldn't be able to make his millions if he was in power. He's a very devious shyster but I very much doubt he'd actually want the responsibility that governance requires.
    • The purge of hard left members that were part of Corbyn's, Mcdonnel's and Lansmans momentum that purged the party of right wing and centrist members. That's politics. It's what Blair did to win, its what Starmer had to do to win. This country doesn't vote in extreme left or right governments. That's partly why Corbyn lost  We're pretty much a centrist bunch.  It doesn't make it false either. It's an opinion based on the voting patterns, demography and statistics. Can you explain then why former mining constituencies that despise the tories voted for them or abstained rather than vote for Corbyns Labour?  What is the truth then? But he never got elected!!! Why? He should have been binned off there and then. Why he was allowed to hang about is an outrage. I hold him party responsible for the shit show that we've had to endure since. 
    • Depends on what the Barista says doesnt it? There was no physical confrontation with the driver, OP thinks she is being targetted when she isnt. These guys work min wage under strict schedules so give them a break unless they damage your stuff
    • CPR Dave, attendance records are available on Southwark's website. Maggie Browning has attended 100% of meetings. Jon Hartley has attended 65%.
