Hark at Eden!
He's already talking about how it will be WHEN he's won, he thinks he has it in the bag! He thinks he just has to turn up to win!
I'm just a humble kid, a working class lad who battled up from the days of dinner duty at school to become a Master Chef: glad for the chance to take part in the challenge... I think the judges should decide who the winner is... Eden must think he knows better than them as well as better than me what makes good food!!!???
Whatever we're gonna do, lets aim for the weekend after next as the start. (after 20th... which to step aside from the banter of this, I am feeling pretty fucked up about and am not going to be in the frame of mind to do anything for fun until after)
9 Challenges, I am up for that.
In terms of price and ease of method... thats a criteria for the judges... they can make of it what they will. I know that any member of the TFP is going to have preconceptions about both of us, but all I call for is fairness. If I lose I wont be happy about it on the inside, but I'll put my hands up and say I lost to the better man on the day.
On the judging... if Eden is happy with Jazz's format - then go with it. The only thing I would state is that I assume that Cinn is the guys close friend, partner, whatever... so in fairness she can't be a scoring judge (although of course she can give her views)
In terms of meals, I would suggest the following
A Breakfast
A Veggie main meal
A Meal you'd cook for a date (starter, main, sweet)
A Meal that costs under $5 to make (and £3, whatever exchange is atm)
A Supper
Ultimate Snack
"Junk Food/Fast Food"
Something Baked
Your Speciality

I think if we use nice open categories, it gives some guidance but lets us both cook to whatever we think our strengths are.
If the guy lives with a vegetarian, he doesnt necessarily want to have four challenges on different types of steak. The same as if the guy wants to challenge me on how to cook a duck ala orange and fennel foam and poached quails egg and betroot fritters, ec... (or whatever michelin stuff he wants to come up with... I aint got a clue)
He has to be free to do his thing, and the same for me.
I'd say lets do two challenges a week and then the big one (the date meal) at the end?
If there is any category Lord Eden wants to take out and replace, lets discuss that between the two of us.
Lets base everything on a portion size of 1 or 2. If people want to scale up to cook for a family then they can do the maths
Im not rich, and I dont plan on cooking anything for this that isnt for my own enjoyment or for a friends.
