| Profile | Ready, Steady, Chuck!'s Chef Al's unparalleled talents are self-evident not only in his championship-winning dishes Frazzled Minty Tomato and Apricot Pepper Salad and Black Forest Eggs With Garlic Apple Crostini, but also in his everyday creations such as Curry Biscuit and Crispy Choco-Noodle Supreme. When he's not in the kitchen creating nu-nouvelle cuisine, Al works as a furniture remover, photographer, archaeologist and semi-professional gin-and-tonic critic. | |
| Favourite Ready, Steady, Chuck! Recipe | Grapefruit and Cheese Toastie. I consider this to be particularly repellent with its subtle mixture of inappropriate textures and truly awful aftertaste. | |
| Favourite Ready, Steady, Chuck! Ingredient | Ginger cake always provides an interesting challenge for the chef but you can't beat a nice baguette for sheer versatility of shape and form. | |
| Most Memorable Ready, Steady, Chuck! Moment | Either the awesome futility of Chef Andrew's attempt to deep fry cabbage in margarine or the hilarity of the baby banana-porridge incident. | |
| Favourite Celebrity Chef | The Swedish Chef. | Est. Winning Odds 7:2 |
| Most important thing to have in the kitchen | In addition to the basic staples to sustain life - pasta, rice, gin, lemons, tonic etc - it is important to have a ready stock of horseradish, curry sauce and ginger cake. | |
| If you had an industrial quantity of Miracle Whip, what would you do with it? | Put it on Freecycle, assuming that would be allowed. | |
