Masterchef the professionals. 2026.

As a diversion from football, tonight’s game against Portsmouth being quite painful, let’s talk Masterchef.

Watching this year’s Professional series I’m astounded. They all seem so good. It’s a far cry from when Lloyd Grossman was the presenter! Back then sophistication in cookery for Brits was putting pepper in your baked beans when heating them! Or if you wanted exotic a pinch of curry powder.

    I like the Professional version more than the regular or celebrity versions (and I like all of them more now that Gregggggg isn't involved). The skills test is always good viewing.

    always thought Masterchef Australia was head and shoulders over what the BBC has shown over the years.
    Its not the same now George, Gary & Matt are not involved.

    The skills test came straight out of the Austrailian version.

    I’m loving the new look tbh.
    Like the fella from Saturday kitchen (although we don’t watch that but it’s always on in my besties house whenever I visit).
    The new location is good too.
    Really like the old contestants setting the skills tests, very different.
    And I agree, the standard is very high this time round.
