MasterChef: no just desserts?

MasterChef soufflé

Far be it for Monkey to thumb its nose up at a sunken soufflé. But some MasterChef viewers were left with a bad taste in their mouth after an ambitious-looking soufflé appeared to fall flat ... before reaching judges John Torode and Gregg Wallace as a fluffy and fulsome new dessert. Eagle-eyed viewers spotted the continuity error in episode six of the current series, broadcast on 1 February but available on the BBC iPlayer here (48 minutes and 29 seconds in). Monkey is told that MasterChef hopefuls will often cook two soufflés, given the temperamental nature of the egg-based dish. Still, judging supremo Gregg Wallace called the miraculously erect final effort "absolutely stunning" – that's good enough for us.
