Hugh Bingley-Bongley! HeÂ’s mainly a Meat man, so how will he manage with a cheese task?

The Good Life wannabe did quite well but fell in the same hole that James Martin did - too many flavours! Less is more you celebs, less is more! KISS (keep it simple, stupid). A nice, simple-to-make offering this time, but how did it measure up?

Nice try all the same…..

Overpowered. How sad that in a dish based on cheese, top chefs try to dominate the cheese with their own combinations of strong flavours. Why couldn’t they add a couple of delicate, COMPLIMENTARY flavours? Hugh’s meal tasted very confusing, was I meant to taste the cheese or the additions? They were, definitely, exclusive.

It looked orangey/brown. With a hint of something worse. Is this good? It’s cheese on toast. But it looked like something different. Disappointing.

This was a really easy method to understand, but a little difficult to follow. “Warmed beer”? What does that mean? I warmed mine in a pan for 10 minutes. Right or wrong? Who knows?
