That stairwell would be a mess if I had to carry pastries down there in practical darkness. On another note, thanks so much for uploading these episodes!

When you're young and blessed with perfect vision, you've got a fairly good chance of not tripping and falling all the way to the bottom..lol

Prince Andrew, how times change

[@carolynwilson8776]

how exciting Steve's deserts appear. I'd love to relive childhood by opening up a bag of these treats.

[@angeldark8812]

Magnificent by all three chefs. The way they have gone to another level with their dedication to improve is amazing! Thank you for sharing this series 💕🤗

Love Michelle Roux Snr " its a shoe for two!"

we have been wanting these episodes and now the channel is feeding us!

[@akwamarsunzal]

Wow! Those puddings were stellar! Absolutely could not pick on as a winner based on those!

[@leeanthony3138]

I want to taste Steve's sandwich. It looks amazing.

[@yolandehofmeyr706]

The chefs hair in her face, not tied/ clipped back is extremely off putting. She constantly touches it to move out the way.

[@MetteC5]

Her food in general and her vibe are extremely off putting to me. The hair is the straw..

[@Nyquil5]

Bobbi pins or a hair net would easily solve that issue. They are cheap and readily available. Shame she didn't know about them.

[@00Kuja00]

@@MetteC5 It's the weird mouth shape for me and her boring looking food.

[@hazelem1266]

I agree. And since I noticed it in the beginning it just works on my last nerve. And I really like her and her style of cooking.

✨Bill Clinton ✨ ✨Prince Andrew✨ Have eaten here ~~~ ok Martha, I can see a pattern with your High Tea restaurant patrons

[@Klawz_AU]

And this, is what we call in the business. Foreshadowing

[@maryholden3136]

When did the trio of deserts start? During my childhood, desert was something you had on Sunday or very special occasions. Even as a restaurant diner, pudding was a treat and appreciated as such. I have a funny feeling that restaurants started the trio thing at about the same time as supermarkets upped their chilled and frozen pudding selections

[@2snowgirl520]

Mary Ann’s hanging hair drives me nuts. It could get in the food.

[@OliverFace]

Prince Andrew huh? That's some recommendation.

[@00Kuja00]

Roux Jr seems to like lime. He always wants a dash of lime on things. ^^

Michael Nadell looks like a cabbie who just wandered in

[@karonsky1]

I just can’t get past her hair!?! That would never be allowed in a Michelin star restaurant. I’ll Fast forward through this one 😢

[@mrgboxx]

its shocking she made it past the last round.

[@ZeldaKid5000]

Yeah but she absolutely knocked it out of the park this round! Plus throughout the competition the taste of her food has been consistently fantastic, it's just her presentation that let her down last round, something she seemed to fix this week.

[@00Kuja00]

Agree, I think her food looks kinda boring too.

Why do people assume that women eat very little? Any "proper lady" would be able to chow down at least 2 of those choux for two

[@celiareed1402]

It would be nice to have more diversity in the contestants.

[@celiareed1402]

@@4JJA14 Yes. There was one person of color and a few women. No ethnicities. Mainly white males. Based on the commentary describing the contestants’ children, this must be before the era of LGBTQ.

[@shauntaylor6040]

One is a women.

[@yunowot]

Oh yeah, because the first thing I worry about waiting for my restaurant meal is what the color, sex, drug habits and criminal record of the chef is. If it's cooked by a normal person, I'm simply not interested.

[@sophiarose8127]

@@yunowot No need to be rude. You are not waiting for your meal. You are watching KZbin.

[@ZeldaKid5000]

@@yunowot To be fair fine dining has been a very male dominated space for decades now. Always find myself cheering for the female contestants if they're good just cause addressing that imbalance will inevitably lead to us all getting tastier food.

With the financier it needs to be put in the fridge to cool first

[@deltadom33]

With the pastry section it should have been Paul Hollywood I love pastries and cooking some of the MasterChef Australia pressure desserts from someone like Adriano Zumbo Michael roux is a amazing chef I have been doing desserts ever since I was 12 my first dessert was an apple tart tatin

[@deanostanley8530]

Wonder why they picked pastry.....

[@m.theresa1385]

Pastry is a very precise specialty. While many other dishes can be made without measuring, the science and knowledge behind pastries and cakes etc. is often very precise in order to achieve success. No one likes tough pastry or dry cake, let alone gritty cream.. Plus, pastry requires beautiful presentation. Each piece must look like a little gift.

[@leeanthony3138]

Someone else's menu. Should have done their own.

[@brianhope5075]

Wasting food😮

[@m.theresa1385]

I love sauces, and there wasn’t much with these desserts. There was a shortage of chocolate too (my favorite). Not much with nuts either (I adore hazelnuts). Not very much that would entice me from these three menus. (Maybe a sorbet, then a couple of chocolate mango pastries with a bit of chocolate sauce on the plate would do the trick ;))

[@db7610]

Why are men superior in the kitchen?

[@briangray8107]

Oh my God I thought I was going to get through an episode without Gregg Bulbus Head wallace
