a tie in masterchef?

















A battle of an afternoon tea team challenge sent the blue team's Aaron and Jimmy into elimination yesterday night. Seeing the fact that Aaron is always really bad in making pastries and Jimmy the curry man who can't even make a simple apple and fig jam, that challenge wasn't for them at all. I suppose it was just a big nightmare cooking for the members of the CWA (Countries Women Association). CWA members are masters of masters in pastry and dessert making. They have mastered every single recipe up their sleeves and will not give in to any mistakes. They were like angels of pastry. So the challenge started with 2 teams, red and blue as usual. Cooking up some of the CWA's famous recipes, which were scones, fruit cake, jam, neapolitan cake and laming tons. These are famous CWA afternoon tea recipes, that the top10 cannot screw up. So after the challenge, blue team lost by the jam and scones done by Aaron and Jimmy, sending them straight into elimination. What a challenge.. elimination this time was to fix a bad dish with 8 ingredients and the best dish wins. It was a classic French Cocovan, which is chicken braised in red wine and mushrooms finished off with some fresh parsley. As a matter of fact, i made this dish when i was back in America and loved it. However, i am not really sure why Aussies call it cocovan, as i remembered in America we called it Coq Au Vin. It looks exactly the same and cooking method similar too. Well, it was a great dish, and i might put the recipe up soon. So the battle for survival between Aaron and Jimmy stirred up ingredients ranging from brandy to shallots, garlic to panchetta. They both served up very different looking dishes, but both taste fantastic. What surprises me was, it was actually a tie. George liked Jimmy's dish, while Gary loved Aaron's dish. So at the end of the day, no one was sent back home and everyone back at the house was very surprised seeing both of them walk back. It was a good ending, didn't really want Aaron to leave the competition so soon. He is one hell of a cook i can tell you. Well, that wraps up Masterchef for the week and Masterclass is on tonight and we'll see what happens more nxt week. Ciaoz.
