MC is scrabbling for ideas for challenges lately. If you’re going to give them historical recipes, make them follow those recipes, not just use them as “inspiration”. Only allow substitutions for ingredients no longer available. (Hello, CWA cookbook – pigeon pie, sweetbread cutlets.)
That would have been a much more interesting challenge.
Juz, can you add pea puree to the list of ban dish?
How many times are we seeing pea puree?
Might be easier to make a list of dishes we are not already sick of.
Can you also add Bombe Alaska?
Product placement is sickening. You always see the Cobram Estate Olive Oil even when it is not needed
Like Clive Palmer
The contestants are hopeless this year. Serving undercooked chicken.
Doesn’t even know that the meringue has split? Really? Wouldn’t you know when you are whisking the meringue
Ah, good old Ma$terchef under cooked chicken. Sick.
Best season, best amata cooks….vomit.
I loved when the judges said, “dangerous”. Their cooking was dangerous.
A new dish for Ma$terchef to celebrate~ ” Chuckin’ Chicken”
As usual, the contestants have a hard time working as teams. They kind of get it together after an hour or so, which drives me nuts. Are all of them autonomous in their own workplaces?
And they make dumb choices on what to cook – fish that needs a lot of pinboning, and chicken portions that can so easily be undercooked unless all the portions are the same size and thickness.
I’d like to slap all of them.
Agree Von. There are some dishes that are too labour intensive for large numbers.
Who doesn’t love watching an amata having to peel an unrealistic shitload of prawns like a blue arsed fly as the “dramatic”muzak( same as last year) gets louder and louder?
So they pick the woman who forgot to put eggs in the custard the team leader?
Any team that has their food snatched from diners and returned to the kitchen – for health reasons – deserves an automatic loss.
Irony, serving a bunch of teachers in the State Library. Most of them can’t spell these days, let alone what the Dewey Decimal system even means.
Their stupidity and self-centredness is astounding at times. Allow me to be the cranky old person in the room, there is no “I” in team, you dumb shits.
The meringue has split, so that other blonde stands there scratching her neck and messing with her hair, whining about the pressure she is under, instead of fixing the fricking problem.

Whinge, whinge. Didn’t read the brochure.
