Re: Masterchef 2019
Blake is last He is not confident at all He is relying on the steak
He sounds defeated saying his dish
George says we know the mash is glue
Thats not glue...its paste
Steak is cooked well
But the mash
Yotam says its a shame he crumbed the bacon instead of celebrating it
They do not like the sauce
Only person safe is Tati
Neither Blake nor Ben has a good dish
I think Ben will be safe because of how he used his choosen ingredient
Gary says we feel for you.
Lets relieve the pressure. Tati we all love laska and we loved yours
I think Tati is crying at the feedback
Blake is going home
He knew it wasnt to standard
He is so disappointed in himself for the dish but is proud he made it that far
Blake has moved from the bar to the kitchen at his parent restaurant Puerto
He still dreams of owning hiis own restaurant in Spain

Re: Masterchef 2019
okay firsts posts I am cutting and pasting from the fb page... as usual they will be updated as I get time to watch the show
Secret week begins now
Gary says they arent listening to him as they are focused on the Mystery Boxes
Apparenty even the judges dont know everything this week
Mystery box doesnt have ingredients
It has a dumpling rolling pin inside
Todays challenge is dumplings
Mini master class from Edward Golliato
Master dumpling maker He says he has made about a million dumplings in nine years
Teaching them how to make the dumplings....starting with the dough
Well he is using dough he already made so starting with portioning and rolling of the dough
At least 18 folds on each dumpling
Throwing Derek under the bus. He made dumplings for everyone the other day
Teaching how to properly eat dumplings too.. you split them with the chopsticks
They want dumplings that take you to the heart of china town

Re: Masterchef 2019
no flavour to identify she will be in elimination
next is Anushka Pisachio shortbread and ice cream
looks very pretty but cant taste the pistachio in the ice cream
very muted flavours not a good dish she may be in elimination too
and final dish is Tati
Sour Chicken curry with peanut crackers lots of crunch
George says they are lucky to have tati in the competition recipe of the season so far
Into immunity cook with Derek is Tati, Larissa and Sandeep
Going into elimination will be Leah, Anushka and Kyle
omorrows elimination has no recipe....they must rely on their senses to reproduce the dish

Re: Masterchef 2019
Kyle, Anushka and Leah are cooking
Tonights dish is Paella, without a recipe
And it will send someone home..... the rice is the secret.. it is easy to burn it. Chef tells them look at it see how the seafood is set in the rice
Kyle should in theory do well here as he eats fish but not meat...doesnt mean he can cook it though
There is no recipe the paella weill be left there for reference
Leah doesnt look happy about no recipe
The paella is made by lino natarillo (wrong spelling, sorry)
Takes 2 people to carry his paella in
Anushka looks to be in disbelief
He has been awarded the best paella outside of spain twice
He is looking for consistency of the rice and the crust at the bottom
Time to taste
Burning the rice is the biggest problem and You want the rice to be flavorsome
The stock has to be full of flavour
Today is about honing your instincts You can keep coming back to taste
And there will be an example of stock too
Gary and Matt taking huge spoons of the dish cravat says 90 mins is generous
The ingredients are on 2 giant trolleys at the front
