I know I’ve hardly blogged recently. I’m sorry. I’ll try harder I promise. I just don’t like blogging without photos and I always, always forget to take photos of whatever I make us for dinner.

Anyway, I have been watching Masterchef: The Professionals on BBC2 recently and I think Kate Spicer might actually be the most miserable woman in the world, never mind just on telly. Seriously, it’s ridiculous.

For those who don’t know, ‘The Professionals’ have to cook for 3 food critics in one of the rounds (I think it’s the Semi-finals but I’m not sure). Yesterday, they were cooking for that chap who looks like Peter Griffin, some bloke from Waitrose who was jolly pleasant and Kate Spicer. (Boooo, hiss)

The reason she makes me so mad is that she eats food and writes about it for a living, yet she always looks like someone’s just told her that her dog’s died. And then forced her to eat it. And it’s been badly cooked and it’s very disappointing and why can’t chefs just all be good these days!?

I understand that not all food is good and that being a food critic involves a certain amount of, well, criticism. But cheer up for god’s sake Kate. You EAT FOR A LIVING. How is that bad in any way!? Crack a flipping smile. At least smile when you enjoy the food.

The corners of her mouth didn’t even turn up when she ate some really nice venison. I don’t know about you, but I’d love to eat some nice venison. Please. I’d smile all the way through.

I think all food critics should either be like Jay Rayner who always looks jolly happy even when he’s eating something dreadful, or like that chap from Waitrose. Also, is it just me or does Jay Rayner look like he’s from the past? I think it’s the hair. He should definitely have a ruff.

Perhaps we could start a ‘Cheer up Kate’ campaign.

I’m done now.
