Well it was a good start. There were some really good cooks on the show tonight.

My sons reckon I should be on the show but I don't think they would accept lamb rolls with squashed roast potatoes.

The promos were a little bit deceptive. I thought I would not like the person but she was lovely and I'd love to make a laksa like that.

I had not seen any promos j*oono but my niece had been texting me reminding me to watch it lol

I enjoyed it - makes a far better format to MKR which appeared to be more of a personality contest where the cooking ran a very poor last.

I have to say though that the questionable 'table manners' of some (both competitors and judges) on both shows really puts me off

I will persevere with watching it though

With the challenge tonight I would probably have done a kedgeree.

An old English breakfast dish that probably came from India originally. It's a curried rice and smoked fish concoction with boiled eggs.

I have a really good and easy recipe if anyone wants it. It's more of a weekend lunch thing for me though.

Gosh j*oono - had forgotten all about kedgerees.

Given her Indian (I think) heritage, I am surprised that English girl did not consider something like that also. Perhaps it is a generational thing though and she might never had had it ........ seems unlikely though.

Would love you to put your recipe up here please

Great show tonight!

As luck would have it I've got a link to this one I've been making. It's another freebie Coles recipe and dead easy.

It would be a generation thing. I remember my mum making it in England and I would have been very young then. I'm pretty sure she made it with shrimp and I've tried it with smoked cod.

Thanks j*oono

Poor Deepali - imagine having to cook that dish if you have never eaten beef. She gave it a jolly good 'go' at least.

She did quite well. You can already see who is a stayer and who is a goer can't you.

I'm glad Nick made it. I thought he would be out tonight because he only seems to make sweet things and desserts. It will be good to see that he can do other stuff too.

Re: MasterChef is great tonight!

mtnlane — Mon, 12 May 2014 14:53:13 GMT

She did do well despite her constraints.

I was glad Nick made it too - was concerned given his preference for desserts, but he is on a huge learning curve and is obviously willing to extend himself.

I love Masterchef. Watch it every night.

Re: MasterChef is great tonight!

Me too purplecarrot-top. I'm enjoying it more this year than I have for the last couple of years. I hope the ratings will be better now that they are not running against the other cooking show.

Some of the guest chefs are really good. It looks like Marco Pierre White will be putting in an appearance and I love watching him work.

Welllllll what did you think about tonight's show?

Some fantastic cooking for a first group challenge but it made me certain that I picked a different career path

Can you imagine the pressure!!!

Give me my home kitchen any day!

Re: MasterChef is great tonight!

j*oono — Tue, 13 May 2014 14:14:24 GMT

Yes, there goes my cooking career plans too. How stressful!

I reckon a school canteen job would be the way to go. That is pretty much what I would have liked to do. To encourage them to eat well and make it yummy.

My God, are older people just stupid? Remember in the earlier episode, older people trying to do stupid things and not making the top 21 and then this one tops it off.

Re: MasterChef is great tonight!

What a challenge and what a huge risk!

Making three different dishes out of the schnapper would have flummoxed me. I felt so sorry for the young girl who was in the pantry some ten minutes or more into the cooking time - I would have felt the same way lol. Didn't she end up making a great dish though?

Fish head curry????? PASS!

Kudos to the lady who remained true to herself - even if it did result in her going home.

What a night. Major dramas, MasterChef and then Offspring. How many times can Offspring make me cry in one night. I do love it

You know what mathew bob, I do agree with you. I was thinking exactly the same thing in fact. The younger ones have a much better edge. They think fast, and can switch from one task to another and they aren't weighed down by the old ways.

Nothing against the lady that lost tonight but she was pretty silly to put it all on the plate in more ways than one.

Fish head curry, YUM. YOu're missing out if you've never had it. The juiciest part of the fish is in the head.

The only thing I am not happy with is there is no teletext.

Oops not the show at fault but the television. House sitting different television. Found how to work it. All happy now.
