Picture Credit: Fox/MasterChef What a busy couple of weeks here. This week and next. Sorry for not keeping this site up to date but this summer has been a tad cray,cray. Lots of activity and tons of great weather equals less technology. However, I will quickly add a blog topic for this week’s offering of […]

Picture Credit: MasterChef/Fox Pictured above are two of the front runners in this season’s offering of MasterChef: Derrick and Steven. MasterChef is highly touting these two guys as the ones to beat but I have also been impressed by Katrina. In truth, I like all of these cooks so it will be interesting to see […]

Picture Credit: MasterChef/Fox Last week, Southern Cook Shelley was eliminated from MasterChef Season 8. It was unfortunate because the dish she was tasked to create was a Southern dish – Fried Chicken and Waffles – and it was right in her wheel house. I think knowing this created mental turmoil for her. She wanted to […]

Picture Credit: MasterChef/Fox Last week, we said goodbye to Christopher, pictured above with Christina. On viewing his exit recap, he looked so buoyant and energized during the initial stages of this competition but became noticeably more deflated over the past couple of weeks. It really is a shame because he was a very creative cook, one who […]

Picture Credit: MasterChef/Fox Boy, last week’s episode was a bit of a roller coaster wasn’t it? The Red and Blue Teams were quite tasked with their “home on the range” dinner and, then, the Pressure Test was a bit of a train wreck. However, I made one huge observation about a potential front-runner – Katrina! […]

Picture Credit: MasterChef/Fox Those three – layer cakes on last week’s episode were hilarious. Seriously? I thought I would learn something but most of those cakes were pretty funny. However, in fairness to the cooks, I found a 90-minute time frame to create their cake was pretty unrealistic. I mean, if you take into account that […]

In the end, four members of the Blue Team – Claudia, Derrick, Ailsa and Christopher – were involved in a two-phased […]

Picture Credit: MasterChef Well, some of those crab dishes in the Mystery Box Challenge last week were pretty sophisticated and amazing. Some of the Southern -bred cooks had a distinct advantage because crab dishes are part of their food culture. The three best crab dishes were created by Amanda (who made an absolutely scrumptious crab cake), Olivia […]

Picture Credit: MasterChef/Fox Last week, The Top 4 Mini Chefs made various desserts involving raspberries as the key ingredient. And, to a certain extent, they all struggled to complete the task.

Last week, The Top 6 Mini Chefs headed to a fancy restaurant in Los Angeles and pandemonium ensued. This was one nail biter of a show. I am amazed these kids managed to pull any of these dishes off! However, at the end of the say, MasterChef Junior said goodbye to Ayla and Kayla. Hmm. […]

Last week’s show was packed full of fun and surprises. And, the Top 8 Mini Chefs were on fire, but a fire fuelled by enthusiasm and positive energy. The Mystery Box Challenge was presented via a dry ice Intro enveloping a banana. Yes. A banana. Apparently, bananas have been on earth longer than humans. Who […]

Last week, Cory, Jenna and Nathan won the last challenge. However, in order to eliminate these three munchkins down to one lucky contestant, the three young cooks were still faced with the task of identifying 20 random ingredients. And – the ingredient labels were removed from the panty. The contestant who identified the majority of […]
