started the recaps for Knockout Week on #MasterChefTheProfessionals: ariadnereviews.com/2026/03/13/m... the world's most unfortunate quail, supporting Women's Wrongs, progressively worsening ice creams and attic-dwelling Patrick. #MasterChefUK
I am afraid I will never stop thinking about the guy on #MasterChefTheProfessionals who removed all the bones of a quail, replaced them with duck pate to reform the quail and then served up this hideous example of culinary taxidermy completely raw. #MasterChefUK
Masterchef contestant putting special pepper through his chantilly trifle cream. Explaining "it's milder than regular pepper".
I says "Yeah, because you don't want red hot chantilly peppers".
Nothing.

Must be worth thousands
Not sure what budget is for #MasterChefUK #MasterChef:TheProfessionals but the #food that they have in their 'larder' for invention tests alone must be worth a fortune ๐ท
The most expensive seafood, e.g. halibut and turbot, things like morels are always BIIIGGG, enormous fillets of beef ๐ฐ

If he'd said pies peas chips n gravy at the Crusty Cobbler on Botch he'd have scored a LOT of points! #MasterChefUK #CarlisleLad
Happy to see Masterchef UK Professionals back sans Gregg. Interesting lineup. #masterchefuk
There are loads of ways to cook them
I've only just discovered them so I'm still experimenting
Saw them used on #MasterChefUK and thought I'd give them a try
I've used globe artichokes for years but not Jerusalem artichokes, mainly because they're quite hard to find

๐ All caught up with #MasterChefTheProfessionals for this week.
Weโre down to the final 10. Weโve seen some inventions, pop-up menus, and family favourites.
Weโve even had a few past MasterChef contestants in the pop-up guest lists! Fun to recall them.

๐ฅฎ Watching the start of this weekโs #MasterChefTheProfessionals rounds, with 13 contenders being whittled down to 10, and I am reminded of my amusement when the chefs or judges talk in terms of โhome madeโ this-or-that ๐ฅน In this case Raspberry Jam.

and here's the last Quarterfinal Recap of #MasterChefTheProfessionals: ariadnereviews.com/2026/03/08/m... the loving union of Man and Big Chicken, surprisingly complimentary bagworm-y lettuce, the evolution of War-rationed Guineafowl and mummified duck. #MasterChefUK
forgot to share the rest of this week's #MasterChefUK recaps, here's the final heat: ariadnereviews.com/2026/03/06/m... Ill-advised Cacio e Pepeing, war-rationed guineafowl, vascular crockery and The Ultimate Wife Guy. #MasterChefTheProfessionals
a barren plate of food consisting of a single scrab of guineafowl breast and a roasted lettuce leaf (singular). There's a small jug of sauce on the side, it's a third full.
Had to excuse myself because I've been scream laughing at this plate of food on #MasterChefTheProfessionals for like 5 minutes. #MasterChefUK
I recapped the start of this week's #MasterChefTheProfessionals: ariadnereviews.com/2026/03/05/m... the Italian speed of light, competing for the affections of a dead chicken, not being tricked by an enchantress and what *did* Jeannette do? #MasterChefUK
Another round of skills tests set by the very watchable 2018 finalist Matthew Ryle. These returnees from previous years always have something nice to say to the #masterchefuk contestants, having been through the challenges themselves and being glad that they are setting rather than doing this time
Watching #MasterchefUK. One of my vague dreams is having a private chef. How does that work? Do you tell them exactly what you want (I never really know), or do they come up with things you might like?
๐ I really like it when a chef absolutely excels. The positive feedback, and sometimes the emotion, are exceedingly memorable. But to have Wareing actually be lost for words ๐ฎ Blimey.
I also like them to acknowledge any top performers in the critics rounds.

๐ Watching a brutal skills test for this weekโs #MasterChefTheProfessionals entrants that needs multiple tasks running in parallel.
Having past finalists in to test the contestants is a lot of fun.

I starter this week's #MasterChefTheProfessionals recaps: ariadnereviews.com/2026/02/27/m... Schrodinger's Intestines, a sandwich of despondence, a thorough humbling and Guy Goma: The Verb. #MasterChefUK
which celebrity chef started the unstoppable tide of Halibut dishes? #MasterChefUK
Pommes allumettes ๐ค Surely that's just Skinny Fries ๐ค #MasterChefUK
Monica Galetti giving Philli Armitage-Mattin the full range of facial expression....... #MasterChefUK
A metal mixing bowl filled with Swiss Meringue. The whisk is held up over the bowl showing the stiff, glossy mix.
๐ฅ Watching first of this weekโs #MasterChefTheProfessionals rounds and itโs fun when I actually know how to make a wee bit of the skills test recipe.
In this case, Swiss Meringue - even down to the temperature of the sugar. It was fun โtellingโ the chefs how to do it โบ๏ธ๐

Mr. Ploppy should have made sausages. #masterchefuk
Hot and spicy pizza on the left. Crosta & mollica base, tomato sauce, mozzarella, pepperoni, chorizo, candied cucumber skin (brown sugar, runny honey), Stratford blue cheese, smoky jalapenos, loads of freshly ground black pepper. One on the right is sourdough base, mozzarella, extra-mature cheddar around the outside, Jerusalem artichoke, globe artichoke, pepperoni. Was supposed to be vegetarian but wifey didn't want to miss out on the pepperoni.
Excited to have some Jerusalem artichokes (sunchokes?), don't ever remember using them in my #cooking before but I saw them used effectively on #MasterchefUK recently
First effort is pizza ๐ but it only used one and we have loads of them, so they will be appearing regularly in our #food
#foodsky
๐ซ I am especially delighted when we get a plant-based chef appearing on either #MasterChefTheProfessionals or #GreatBritishMenu, and Iโll be really rooting for them.
As here in this season, where theyโre doing so well ๐

Evening pickers of pop #TOTP
Gonna be multitasking with #MasterChefUK & #WILTY later ๐
Cooking shallots in the burger juices is nothing unusual, a lot of people do that.
Night before I did roast carrots with star anise and cardamom, because a contestant on #MasterchefUK did carrot purรฉe with star anise and cardamom and the judges really rated it
This time I tried to puree the carrot but it wouldn't blitz due to lack of liquid, so added oil and some mushroom sauce
Gemma and her wife - who gemma refers to as "conquering"
I hope you understand how obsessed I am with Gemma and her approach to romance. #MasterChefUK
I joked about a cod cheek Skills Test last week and Philli immediately came in this week to set everyone up to fail ๐ฅฒ #MasterChefUK
Food
Diced gammon ham with a cider sauce, topped with courgette/zucchini and emmental cheese
Roast carrots with star anise and cardamom (inspired by #MasterchefUK)
Blitzed mix of spring onions, fresh dill, 3 types of radish (pink, purple, white), toasted sesame oil, runny honey
