Masterchef 2018

I like Masterchef better than the other cooking comps.

 

Great way to start this season rather than the mass single tasks they used to do.

Now every hopeful contestant gets 1 hour to cook a dish tasted by the 3 judges.

With second chance contestants cooking for a blind tasting.

 

24 contestants get an apron. Smiley Very Happy

Oh and what would you say has been one of the food trends of the series?

 

I didn't see it tonight but for me it has to be these granitas.

 

Every second dessert seems to feature a granita, which i take it is some sort of liquid stuff frozen and made into shaved ice.

 

And tuiles. Apparently no dessert is complete without a "crunch element."

 

See, you can teach an old dog new tricks.Smiley Very Happy

Another trends seems to be to have a jug of sauce with the meal.

 

Looks like they are cooking for past winners and contestants tonight. Smiley Very Happy

Image result for smiley crying memeOh noooooooo.  Jess!!!  

 

I really think she tried just way too hard and had too much to do. 

 

Seems the flavours were not good together either.

 

Unusual for her.

 

Ben will be lost if it's not seafood tonight.

 

Go Khan.

I know, very unexpected to see Ben n Sashi in the final.

I thought Jess n Khanh had better cooking skills but it comes down to the dish of the day.

Both of them tried to do too much IMO, they should have stuck with dishes they have done before.

 

Still a good and interesting series this year. Smiley Very Happy

You know what amazed me? Sashi was asked-only a drumstick? That's not enough protein for a main meal, it could put you at risk of going home. Prepare more, basically.

 

Then what does Ben serve? A smallish piece of fish with 2 carrots. Okay, I know there was a smear of some other white stuff  but not much. Two carrots!

 

And what do the judges say? Refined, wonderful & understated, not too much loaded on the plate.

Of course it wouldn't worry them I suppose, they have another 2 courses coming up.

 

And sashi? They didn't say the chicken was no good, they seemed more focused on the fact it wasn't top restaurant presentation, too rustic.

Where was the blurb at the end, where Khan's pic should have been up, and what he's done since leaving?

 

Don't much care who wins now...........................Related image

I wanted Khan to win. Pity he burnt the fish.
I think Ben will win tonight by the way he's been cooking.

Yeah once Jess was gone I thought Khanh would win.

 

I think it could go either way with Sashi and Ben but if they are replicating a Heston dish then I think Ben will be more organised with complicated techniques.
