Great British Menu - phew

Anyone just watched the fish course? You've got to love Marcus Wareing. What's molecular cooking anyway?

[mike11111]

Isn't it a fancy name for microwaving?

[Psybbo]

What a tantrum! Do you think he'll come back tomorrow?

[Tilly2]

I would have thought that all cooking was molecular cooking as the heat does something to the molecules in the food whether it's boiled, fried, roasted stewed or whatever.

I have the utmost respect for Marcus however I think he was to harsh on Johnnie.

[Prudie]

Marcus has always been my favourite celeb chef so I'm a bit forgiving however it was toe curling. Molecular cooking must be an actual style as they kept saying it. I'll have a google.

I think that Marcus Waring was right - I think that molecular cooking is what Heston Blumenthal is all about - but I think that Johnnie has not understood the brief - I would expect a fish course to have some fish in it! Can you imagine what the judges would say if that had been dished up in front of them!

[kawakiri]

Heston doesn't really like the term molecular gastronomy.

i loved the one with the rolled salmon marinated in beetroot

I felt sorry for jonnie but he got it so wrong and there was no need to have a tantrum like that. i think he does come back tonight

[anneasquith]

[mccfluff]

I've never watched a cookery programme before but after reading this post I toddled off and watched this episode. I thought that the guy was going to start crying.

Did you enjoy it wolf? So Johnnie didn't return to the competition, I bet there were some spicy goings on off camera. Shame for the other two in a way.
