Winners are grinners on last night’s episode (S8EP13) of Masterchef. The night’s viewing consisted of a gripping cook off for an immunity pin. Contestants Con, Anastacia and Nicolette were challenged with preparing a meal of their choice, using popcorn as the basis of the dish. As is often the case, the two more seasoned contestants buckled under the pressure, creating dishes that were overcomplicated and neglecting the popcorn based requirement.
It was the young and slightly under confident Nicolette who reigned victorious, wisely committing to a popcorn parfait, a dish she was comfortable preparing. Nicolette’s prize was the chance to compete against a professional resort chef and prepare competing fish dishes. Nicolette’s decision to stick to a familiar favourite, salmon, proved once again wise, as she was able to make up any difference she lacked in technical skill. Ultimately, the judges decided after a blind taste that Nicolette’s dish was the tastiest, and she took home the immunity pin.
The lesson? Stick to what you know guys. And no showing off.
Masterchef airs Sunday to Thursday nights at 7.30 on Network Ten.
