Gordon Ramsay Cookalong Live

I finally had a chance to watch Gordon Ramsay cookalong live, a day after it aired. I’m a big fan of Gordon’s and I thought overall he did fairly well at doing a live show. Live shows are not easy to do. He not only had to cook, he had to entertain the TV and [...]

Hell’s Kitchen (Season 6, Episodes 14 & 15) – “3 Chefs Compete” + “2 Chefs Compete” Finale

This was a live blog during the show finale.
It’s down to the final three… Kevin, Dave and Ariel. Time for the fun to begin. After a good night’s sleep (with the exception of Dave), the 3 remaining chefs head into the kitchen. Gordon tells them they will make and match a cuisine from one [...]

Hell’s Kitchen (Season 6, Episode 13) – “4 Chefs Compete”

Down to the final four. While I don’t think there is a clear front-runner, my pick is for it to go down to Kevin and Dave, as long as Dave’s wrist doesn’t send him packing first.
This episode of Hell’s Kitchen starts with little Gordon Ramsay coming out from the office and giving the final 4 [...]

Hell’s Kitchen (Season 6, Episode 12) – “5 Chefs Compete”

Dave and Tennille exchanging complaints start off this episode of Hell’s Kitchen. Dave’s upset that Tennille changed her mind at the last minute of the previous episode when she decided to throw Van up on the chopping block. Dave calls Tennille a few choice words and says he can’t trust her anymore.
The first challenge is [...]

Hell’s Kitchen (Season 6, Episode 10 & 11) – “7 Chefs & 6 Chefs Compete”

“7 Chefs Compete”
Gordon starts off at Whistler BC, at the Araxi restaurant where the winning HK chef will be one of the head chefs. The challenge is each team will have to cook with 15 ingredients from the region. Gordon arrives to judge the dishes with guest judges Olympic medalists Sasha Cohen and Johnny Mosley.

First [...]

Gordon Ramsay’s F Word (Season 4) – The Bunton brigade

This episode of Ramsay’s F Word has the Bunton brigade up on deck. The starter was Gnocchi with peas and broad beans with a main of Dover sole with shrimp butter and nettle champ, and a desert of gooseberry and elderflower crumble.
The starter went over fairly well with the diners, but after that everything [...]

Hell’s Kitchen (Season 6, Episode 9) – “8 Chefs Compete”

The teams are tied 4 and 4, and while the men are fairly harmonious, the women are still struggling to get along. Suzanne is the outsider and while she makes an attempt to get along the other women don’t buy it. I think it seemed like a fairly good attempt to make amends, but who [...]

Hell’s Kitchen (Season 6, Episode 8) – “9 Chefs Compete”

Last nights episode started with the palate test. The test everyone thinks they’re going to do good at until they try. As they find out though, it gets more difficult to distinguish tastes when you take away some of your senses. In this case the chefs are blindfolded and have to wear headphones so they [...]

Gordon Ramsay’s F Word (Season 4, Episode 10) – The Biggins brigade

The Biggins brigade bombed, but not the recipes they cooked.  All three recipes looked really good and I’ll be cooking each one of them.
The starter was pea, mint and lettuce soup with parma ham. Simply and really tasty. Full recipe here. The team did so-so on this one, getting 40 or 50 paid.
The main course [...]

Hells Kitchen ~ up and down with the blue team

It was a roller coaster ride tonight for the blue team. Episode 7 started with a craps table. Each chef rolled a big die with letters, then they had to pick an ingredient that started with the letter they rolled. The women started strong choosing, rabbit, haricot vert, potatoes, garlic and hamhock.  The men chose [...]

Hell’s Kitchen – picking up during season 6

This blog is picking up the night before Hells Kitchen airs (w/ 10 remaining chefs).  To start with, here’s a little of my overall view of the show. Gordon’s a master at what he does, in my opinion. Master chef, entertainer and “donkey”
herder
I love the show. It’s just to bad that  most of [...]
