“Gordon Ramsay’s back with a new series of Cookalong Live that promises to be bigger, funnier and tastier, and aims to teach the whole nation how to cook.“

Our beloved Michelin Starred chef is back on tv for the next seven weeks, with Cookalong Live, prepping; cooking and serving a three course meal for four people.

This is something I would love to get involved with, but for tonight’s episode I haven’t got any ingredients. I also prefer to ‘watch first, do later’, instead of trying to do it whilst watching. If I was to cook along with everyone I’ll miss what was said to do and be like “what?, what do I do with this?” while a piece of meat flails about in my hand.

I have somehow managed to loose all of my videotapes, so I can’t record the episode to try later. (I don’t have tv that pauses when you turn away from it. ) What I will do is watch the show; see what happens; learn what to do; find the recipes; find the episode online; then do it during the week when I have a bit more time and can pause the episode. I don’t so much mind the 9pm cooking, in fact, I love cooking late. It feels awesome.

For those of you wanting to watch and/or take part, the series begins tonight (Friday 24th October 2008) at 9pm. This series is for UK viewers, but there are ones planned for the US and Australia.

Some information on the series; menus; recipes; and equipment can be found at the channel 4 website: http://www.channel4.com/food/on-tv/cookalong-live/

Anyone who is taking part, feel free to comment below about your experience with this weeks menu, and how easy it was for you. Chef or no Chef, shout up.

p.s. I don’t want replies stating that Chef Ramsay sucks. If you don’t like him or his shows don’t reply!
