So on Thursday Ronene and I rocked up for our 15 minutes of fame and went to the taping of a TV show. Even more exciting, we were actually ON the TV show. Yes, that's right, we were contestants on Ready Steady Cook!!!
I won't give the game away and tell you who won...I'll update details of when it's being aired when I know them so you can watch and find out...
Instead, here's 10 things you may be interested in....
- Professional hair and make-up is kind of fun...for the first couple of reapplications. After that I felt a bit like I could have scraped the layer of goo off my face with a spatula. And actually make that just make-up, there still isn't too much anyone can do with my hair (short of a wig or hat).
- The food on the show actually tastes as good as it looks.
- Janelle Bloom was always my favourite chef on the show, but now I've met her and discovered she's really nice as well, she's even more my favourite.
- You can make food look really professional if you just present it right. (Yup, it's taken me 30-something years to figure this pearl of wisdom out)
- Strawberries are more impressive than apples
- You get to keep the aprons when you're a contestant
- You also get special "knife-handling" lessons. After which you have to sign a waiver in case of knife injuries sustained on the show.
- It's pretty nerve-wracking getting down those stairs. And the rest.
- Professional chefs can do some pretty amazing stuff.
- Lots and Lots of fun!
