Two kinds: the basic crisp thin oatcake, and a baking-powder raised variant.

#I may have to play with this #where I come from slightly sweet oatcakes are THEE cookie of Folks With Taste #the fancy coffee shop sometimes does them half chocolate dipped like a black and white cookie #and I use my great grandmas recipe for those #but I have not had an unsweetened oatcake #Will report back when I get around to it

New fear unlocked for Masterchef contestants:

When the Chocolate Guy (Amaury Guichon) sets the challenge!

#amaury guichon #so I once(once) briefly considered taking a summer set of masterclasses with chocolate guy #and by briefly I mean someone asked me if I was interested in doing it #and I immediately had a nervous breakdown and said I didn’t think I could handle it #i mean LOOK AT THAT THING #incredible honestly that is art

Oh y’all a very good baking idea came to me last night and I couldn’t fall asleep because I was thinking about it

OK. OKAY. YOU GUYS.

I am LOVING the fucking chocolate guy’s netflix show! It’s FANTASTIC! Anf hold on to your fucking boots y’all cause it’s actually not what I was expecting at all!

Do you miss the gentleness of the Great British Bake-Off? THIS SHOW IS SO KIND AND GENTLE! For fuck’s sake, NO ONE GETS KICKED OFF! No. No, Listen to this! When they lose the first challenge (a pastry one), the punishment is… They get private lessons with Amaury to help improve what brought their scores down instead of competing in the second chocolate challenge. 

When the one black lady contestant messed up the first challenge I was super bummed and like, OF COURSE. But NO. She got lessons! She struggled! she worked hard! and she won a later challenge! GROWTH MY DUDES! They are there TO LEARN and GROW and Maybe Win a Big Prize!

They ALL get to stay and keep doing their best! and at the end the one who did the best overall is the one who gets the money prize!

Look at this lovely line up! they make COOL LOOKING FANCY THINGS! Amaury tells us how he does some of the fancy things he does! They OFFER TO HELP EACH OTHER WHEN THEY FINISH EARLY AND GET PROPS FOR THAT! (not taunted for not using their own time better). The set up even kinda makes the one who is like, I’m in it to win it, is the villain and doing bad. The rest who are like, I’m here to learn and grow and maybe make friends! AUGH YOU GUYS!

Amaury is soft spoken and kind, and has a pretty voice and a pretty smile and that’s nice to watch too. The chefs are talented and artistic and they actually give the THE TIME to make nice things! It’s not “Wham out some half-assed garbage in 2 hours so we can shotgun the production and laugh at your garbage” like most cooking shows nowadays. NO! 14 hour challenges! They’re still hard, but they get to actually make cool stuff! fancy stuff! Stuff I want to look at and cheer for them!

The episodes average 38 min and aren’t a huge time commitment, the first episode being the longest one, and there are only 8 total so it’s not like you have to really get in for the long haul. \

WATCH IT! Pump it! we need more cooking shows like this and less that are sad and mean!

#to watch #i hatemost cooking shows because they stress me out #I have legit trauma from the brief period of my life where I was in a baking competition #the competition itself would have been stressful but fine #but when you lined it up with a physical trauma and one of the worst emotional months of my entire life #it was like a nightmare #sorry for the tag novel #anyway this sounds good #the school of chocolate #amaury guichon
