    this is a better than average show, however it would be great if the shows producers could find a new way to present it instead of copying every other ramsay show. My wife and I know exactly when to "take a break" because its everytime he is going to annouce sometihng, he comes the commercial break.

    This show is good for passing the time, and quite inspirational on the topic of food, but sadly it's marred by "tv-syndrome". Constant looks ahead and flashes of what just happened means the show stutters and the flow feels interrupted. If you have any interest in food you should definitely watch this show, you'll learn from it.

    It doesn't get any better than this! There's something about watching home cooks, as opposed to professional cooks, that really makes the show that much more interesting! The personalities on the show are usually quite colourful, and come on, how can one resist the drama?!

    It's not great TV, but compared with the concentrated incompetence of "Hell's Kitchen," it's delicious.

    Its pleasures are simple and familiar. There is the usual mix of boastful losers and shy winners, of tiresome cutting remarks and delightful delighted approval.

    Even Ramsay's most barbarous fans are likely to find this formula so thin by now that, by comparison, Louise Roe looks like a blimp.
