I don’t know if you guys are familiar with Master Chef. It’s a reality TV show here in Oz about wanna-be chefs vying for the title of Master Chef. As usual, J and I are avid followers of the series ever since it aired several weeks ago.

I especially like the pressure test and the celebrity chef challenge. In the former, the worst three performers battle against each other and cook for their life so that they can still remain in the competition. They are all given one recipe of a dish to follow. Whoever cooks the worst version of that dish gets booted off the competition. With the celebrity chef challenge, the best performer from the invention test goes head-to-head against a noted Australian celebrity chef. Both must cook a dish that the celebrity chef has come up with. If the challenger manages to score higher than the celebrity chef, he/she gets a free ride to the Master Chef finals.

I love watching cooking shows so it is not surprise that I enjoy watching MC as well. Watching these contestants concoct new dishes, frantic on the bench top and copper kitchen sinks, is a delight. I suppose this stems from my being a frustrated cook, more so nowadays as I don’t have as much time as before to cook the things that I want.

Anyway… if you’re curious about MC and want to learn more about it, click here.
