Michel Roux Jr. has left MasterChef! Shock.. Horror.. Bateman himself could not have possibly drawn a cartoon worthy of this dreadful news!

Grrrrrr... snakes & ladders and other such stupid expressions... she has just learnt that her culinary hero, Michel Roux Jr, has resigned from the programme called MasterChef.

It has come about over a conflict of interests, the programme, which he has fronted since 2008, is produced by the BBC channel on which there is NO advertising allowed. Mr.Roux, on another channel, promotes Albert Bartlett Rooster Potatoes.

Monica Galetti, who works for and with Mr. Roux at The Gavroche (think seriously good food), also appears on Masterchef as a judge. She is strict but can and does deliver the goodies! Will she stay or will she go too?

To watch Ms. Galetti and Mr. Roux make the invention test dish in the short time before the contestants are asked to create the same dish, makes one (read her) awed to say the least for their expertise is awesome.

Will it be the same? It is, or it was, absolutely compulsive watching and the last series was gripping with all sorts of unexpected twists and turns.

Well, we will have to wait and see, the first programme of Series 10 starts on March 26th at 9.00pm, followed by Thursday and Friday at 8.30pm.

We will be ready to watch this, tucked up with telephones switched to divert, as snug as bugs with chocolate, grapes and nuts to sustain us and will report back. 

If it had not been for her hero, Dear Readers, you 
would not have had our most-read post.

        Gateau de Pommes de Terre Savoyard! 

Just think of that and shudder.. goodness knows what culinary tricks she will now miss because of the 'Beeb' not being a tiny bit flexible.

He doesn't shout about those Roosters when he is doing MasterChef, does he? And everyone knows he runs one of London's finest restaurants.. huh, is what we say and other things that are not fit to print.

After that shocking piece of news I am quite ready to go to bed.

GeeGee Parrot.
