goodbye Skye!

A sad ending for Skye today on Masterchef after her defeat in an elimination match against Jonathan. So the show started with Jonathan, Aaron, Skye, Alvin, Joanne and Sharnee when they have to cook up a chicken kurma dish. They were all asked to taste the dish, and then given the basic ingredients, but without spices. Indian cooking without spices? Woohoo.. won't happen right? Contestants were given a whole range of spices to pick from to cook their chicken kurma, but none of them actually got it 100% right. Some started with turmeric and garam massala. And throughout the whole match, only Alvin got most of the ingredients right. Well, he's Asian anyways! How can he not know how to cook chicken kurma. So that's a big advantage for him. Well, at the end it was Skye and Jonathan that went to the 2nd round of elimination since their curry was a failure. In the elimination round, they were tested with spices. Various spices were put on a plate, and they were to name them. Skye got the ground cloves wrong when she guessed garam massala. It was actually pretty close because, basically they look the same. Is the fragrance that is different. Lucky Jonathan. Well, Skye did a great job throughout the whole competition and has always been outstanding with her platting skills. After Skye left Masterchef, she quit her career as a designer and opened up a dessert bar in Brisbane called Wild Sugar (www.wildsugar.com.au). All the best to you Skye! On the bright side, this means less competition for Marion to win the Masterchef this season!
