My favourite is also Australian Masterchef. If anyone is interested a new series starts today on the Home (Freeview) channel. I have set my recorder for the daily 10am showing, so that I can watch at my leisure, but it is repeated at 7pm. They are usually a couple of years old but that doesn't bother me.

I've been watching the Hairy Bikers romp through the the Mediterranean, and enjoying it. Loved Corsica! One thing I noticed though, they have both put on the weight they lost on the Hairy Dieters.
I've been enjoying a show on Netflix called Zumbo's Just Desserts, it's rather like the Great British Bake off in format, it's Australian and Rachel Khoo is one of the judges.

I quite like Tom Kerridge. Can’t stand Rick Stein - agree with jusnoneed, I just get the impression he’s not really trying these days - or the Hairy Bikers. I can’t watch anything with Greg Wallace in it.

I don't like any of the professional ones. The only one I like is GBBO

The only ones I watch and enjoy are two Aussie shows, Masterchef and My Kitchen Rules.
The Hairy Bikers I find annoying, Rick Stein has become more of a travel show (and boring) and Nigella pouting and fluttering her eyelashes gets on my nerves. About the only british ones I will occasionally watch (if nothing else on) are Hugh Fernley W and Nigel Slater, but they are mainly repeats these days.
Hate anything on telly that's celeb based and never watch any of them.

I used to love watching all the new cookery programmes but now gone completely off them. I can't get into Tom kerridge new one or the hairy bikers Mediterranean and Rick steins Mexico. the only one I do watch when they are on is master chef / pro mc......not the celeb one. ...Think I must be bored with them lol....
