Masterchef 2018

[Mistyavalon]

nona forgets the timer.. this poor woman is going through hell

no one is keen on tempering the choc.... sarah is really losing it.. gary tries to be of assistance.... she has o melt it a little but not too much or it will not be tempered

this is a really torturous thing to watch

Nona is spreading her white choc well...
jess seems to know how to put the pink into the shards.. to give it the swirl

poor nona still has no idea about the cakes... she slices and alas..... it has a hole in the middle.. it should have stayed in the oven but she continues on.. determined

jes s is now fiddling with something and all the others upstairs cheer her on and say leave it... but she wants the outer layer perfect.... even the chef says step away

[Mistyavalon]

but time is up.... sarah and jess seem to have it looking perfect Nonna I think you are going home

no one's cake was perfect. they all tasted good said the chef

so Sarah sponge was the best
Jess it looked amazing
Nonna sponge undercooked......... and that is that..........

sad

SO IT IS THE FIGHT FOR YET ANOTHER IMMUNITY PIN

BORINg.... right this one is a gelato tasting test
knife test to go first

so ben boysenberry tick
Reece right
chloe choc chip right
Kristin pistachio right
Ben tick tick tick and so on until Chloe makes a mistake Reece gets it later Cherry Ripe
Reece is stuck... he has two tastes and alas his quest for two pins ends
Ben is out which means kristin goes for immunity

now there is no way I am going through immunity challenges cos I think is is aload of crap

[Mistyavalon]

sensible result at last. Sorry that it was Kristin.. both got the same score.. they both stuffed up.. it was a choc challenge and kristin used white choc.. how many times do I have to say white choc is not choc

[Mistyavalon]

so today these two teams are taking over two restaurants
Adam dsilver famous they say coda vietnamese and tonka.. Indian
sweet week lunch service challenge
grab an apron instead of the knife
Brendan capn of Red Tonka and Sarah of blue Coda

2 savoury and 2 sweet and you gotta make the savoury one sweet and the dessert savoury how dumb
2.5 hours

losing team to elim and one goes home

[Mistyavalon]

teams discuss the ridiculous brief...

Sarah is already in a spaz as she tells us how she wants peope tamarind chilli kingfish lychee duck ginger and coconot mouse with ginger and thai beef salad and I hear fish sauce caramel... and I wouldnt' eat any of it. Sashi tells us ad infinitum how much work he has to do... just do it Sash and stop talking. Kristin is doing the king fish

Red.... cauliflower spiced rice oh more as we go he talks too fast and I could care less
savoury is savoy and sweet is sweet to me chicken marsala curry sounds all right

we'll see

[Mistyavalon]

thanh tries to pierce the caulflower and it aint working..gary said you have 90 mins to go you will lose this challenge at this rate

Interesting that Kristin is on fish I guess Reece and Jess grabbed the desserts first.. they seem okay.. Reece keeps asking people if you do this please check with me.. he needs the freezer

red chai spiced pumpkin cheeseake.. I have never tried this chai stuff
Samira has never used the tandoor oven
but overall the only dish causing concern is the cauliflower one

the chef talks to kristin about t he king fish.. he hovers as it is his restaurant

sashi tells us how his dish is ready but oh no smoke

kristins fish.. George hovers and says too much oil.. service starts in one min sort it... But Kristin is stumped

[Mistyavalon]

blue is powering along or so it seems fish be damne
now gutzes get sashis duck, the are loving the look of it... and then they eat and mmmmmm..it works on all levels

apparently the fish got fixed cos it appears to be okay and good flavour on skin says
chef.... Gary says it is okay....

now red.... the pineapple marsala and chook... smells good it shines.... chef likes it.. Gary says it is good gutzy said it is tasty. cravat likes the naan

[Mistyavalon]

cauliflower dish is next....Chef said it is not sweet intrinsically.... parts of it are.. but not necessarily in the cauli....
,,,sarah said maybe crush ice and make a slushy..
so gutses get it..they want more granita.. more flavour......

so who won... blue red go to elim

[Mistyavalon]

so elim night

hey there is a spinning wheel. they spin it Ben gets coconut
Banana
cinamon and again and again it freaks out Brendan who can only think savoury .. are you for real> cinamon to me is sweet all the way

75 mins to create a sweet t hat heroes your ingredient....

go for it
