Re: Masterchef 2019
he is making bread from the grains
Christinas ice cream isnt thickening to go in the churner
Only 40mins left
Larissa boiling the wheat grains in aromatic water, looks like the bush mint and mandarin peels in there
Christina finally has her ice cream churning
Tim has his gnocchi and pumpkin cooking. Onto his lamb now
Taking the bone off
Tying the lamb into rounds
30mins left now
Simon has his bread rolled very thin to make it crispy
Judges say Simons dish sounds the one to beat in concept
Concerns about the ice cream on Christinas dish, Tims lamb and Larissas Wheat Grains
Matt talking to Anushka about sophisticated dishes that look great and deliver flavour
15mins left
Larissa isnt happy with the wheat grains
Isnt cooked, doesnt have much flavour
Matt asking what is plan b if the grains dont work,,, basically he is saying start again quick!!!
She is making a puree now quickly.. she is very happy with it
5mins to go
Plating time
And time is up
Some of the dishes look good, others look a bit ordinary
1st up for tasting today is Larissa
She didnt put the grains on the plate
Some great colour in the sauce
Elegant, under stated, sophisticated plate of food, fish is cooked beautifully
Crispy skin the three love it
Simon next
An interesting dish to look at
Love the toastiness. It goes through the whole dish. Lacking freshness
Mandarin slices could have added the freshness it needed
Tim now
grilled lamb gnocchi with crap on the side... goats cheese and pumpkin
it is a great dish and they love it

christina is a doing a nice looking surf and turf
Larissa has a huge piece of steak and marron
Tim is doing Scallops and Pork He has apples too Gary said come on too much stuff here work out core flavours...... Judges concerned he has too many flavours with tea infused raisins and shallots planned too He is pulling it back now. Scallops. Pork and Apples only now
Simon is doing sticky braised octopus with veal
He is also using radishes
Making sure he has freshness on this dish
15mins to go and Nicole has ditched her bisque
She doesnt have a dish in mind still
She is in trouble Nushie comes to encourage
Nicole is now poaching rock lobster - Matt giving her a bit of a pep talk
She is going to do a butter poached lobster with her steak now
Tim is plating - And flash frying his scallops
George saying fingers dont matter

Re: Masterchef 2019
Tim first to tasting
Scallops, pork and Apple
It looks so delicate
And pretty. When did that happen Tim?
You pulled your dish back and relied on the puree to carry the scallops
Looks delicate and refined but is hearty
Makes Matt happyv- Ripping plate of food
Larissa next
Great plate of food. Beautifully cooked beef and marron....I wanted to break into the tv
Christina, nice ingredients on the plate but fish is the main element
Nicole now
She was so overwhelmed and flustered this cook
Tenderloin and rock lobster
She looks ready to cry Gary knows where she was trying to go but it doesnt entirely work..... you just got lost.... both proteins are perfectly cooked
If your derailed on ideas. Take 5 mins a pen and paper and think about what you want to cook
Tessa now
It looks great and the judges love it.. mmmm
Whats more surprising is he creativity. It is unexpected - Sophisticated presentation
Surf and turf like we have never seen before
This is Surf and Turf 10.0. Amazing
You knew it was a winner and thats what you presented
An odd combination that works so perfectly
Beautiful dish
And Simon is last
Winding him up as he puts his sauce on
We asked for Surf and Turf 2.0 and you delivered
Cooked perfectly. Harmonious
They loved the dish
