You might think that a TV program featuring cabbage as a main ingredient would be a real turn off but stay with us here, this is the Great British Food Revival so if you enjoy a bit of cabbage, you’re in for a treat. It is a widely known fact that British produce never gets a fair go, and often you will see huge ranges of produce from countries like Spain and Portugal placed in front of our own home grown varieties. Herbs are a fine example of this, and episode six of The Great British Food Revival sets out to champion the amazingly diverse range of produce grown in the UK.

What an interesting show the first episode of Masterchef the professionals was. To introduce the contestants to the show, Monica Galetti - Michel Roux's right-hand woman provided them with a handful of ingredients, and gave them just ten minutes to decide how they would use them.

It's sad to say that Dan was the first to leave Masterchef the professionals 2011. Dan 34 from Lincolnshire, a catering teacher for a prison, was upset to be the first to go.

Welcome to episode 2 of Masterchef the professionals 2011. After proving themselves to Monica Galetti in the first round, the contestants get to meet Michel Roux Jr. for the first time, and are given a real challenge to sort the men from the boys. In tonight's show the group of ten have been split in two, with the second group meeting their challenge tomorrow evening. In the group tonight were Sebastien, Dan, Oli, Ben and Steve. To start the contestants are put to work by Monica Galetti making three caramel decorations on panna cotta.

In tonight's show it was the second groups turn take up Monica Galetti's challenge. Last night it was caramel decorations, which couldn't be further from tonight's challenge which was to make a crab salad. After Monica Galetti finishes her demonstration on how to do it, the contestants take it in turns to try their hand at the crab salad, and unfortunately this was the beginning of the end for Kev.
