Once he was done gently heating his chocolate soup the panic did clearly begin to settle in as he realised he was going to need to cool it down pretty quickly and so began the ice water’s tour of the kitchen as Rhodri kind of just moved it from one counter to the other before decanting it into a baking tray NOT TO COOK CREME PATISSIERE ON NATIONAL TELEVISION THAT’S FOR SURE. I do have to at least admire Rhodri for steadfastly continuing down the road to crème pat ruin despite the almost palpable sense of culinary anguish consuming the kitchen and Gregg asking this very pointed question


Meanwhile Marcus, trapped in his pantry prison, was similarly flummoxed by Rhodri’s insistence that he would be able to cook out the flour and thicken his crème pat over a gently simmering bowl of water So it wasn’t too much of a surprise when he went wrong just about immediately and started cooking his crème pat by the power of a bain-marie aloneĪnd all Monica could do was watch the whole ordeal play out with the same facial expression that Nadiya has every time she and Dan Walker survive a public vote Rhodri was on quite the backfooting in this challenge, having only been training as a chef for the last 6 years and seemingly having only met a crème patissiere in passing and exchanging but a curt nod with it. Well, as it turns out wanton violence was reserved for this pair of poor unfortunate Swiss Rolls as Monica’s Skills Test called for Rhodri and Anthony to make a chocolate crème patissiere in order to fill a Swiss Roll sponge that had mercifully been made for them in advance – she’s not a complete monster! The only real issue they have with the dish (besides the cubes of burnt toast) is the fact he made a cauliflower puree instead of a velouté and quite frankly how dare he? 1000 years in Cauliflower jail for John. John’s scallops were cooked perfectly though and his plate was a good looking plate of food, and significantly less of a herb garden If you’re going to burn toast, you might as well burn fancy toast. And it’s extremely unfortunate because the rest of his dish is exceptionally well cooked so he can at least rest safe in the knowledge he didn’t burn his croutons The scallops are all a bit Lisa Faulkner’s Worst Nightmare™Īnd it’s not even like they’re a little bit raw, it looks like the scallops have somehow barely even touched the pan. It’s unclear as to whether she was praying for John or the scallops’ wellbeing – either way, both survive John’s slap-happy swordsmanship and it was Budiono she should probably have been praying for because despite a very pretty, very herbaceous plate While his direct competitor John, who really wants us to know that he is British and cooks British food, gets the job done but with a knife holding technique that has Monica turning to Christ Races through them at a rate of knots and impresses everyone with his skills. In a rare instance on MasterChef neither of the chefs cause any wanton harm to the shellfish – Budiono, who is the Blair Waldorf of MasterChef At this point he’s doing this just for me to make fun of him. In a complete departure from making two people cook him bangers and mash, this time Marcus was challenging his victims to prepare and pan-fry some scallops served with a cauliflower velouté, some croutons and a curry butter sauce, which in true Marcus Wareing style is just butter seasoned with curry powder. Let me know if my numbering of the episode titles is confusing and I’ll try and adapt it though.
#Masterchef the professionals season 11 tv#
Well at least not every episode is going to be torn in twain and its pieces scattered to the winds of fate, where they land in the TV schedule being up to the televisual Parcae only.
