Previous Episode: MasterChef Australia Season Four – MasterClass #1
Six spots remain- who will they fall to?
Today is the final time someone can win an apron. Six are up for grabs and the contestants head to the Exhibition Hall to begin the day.
Challenge: A French Pressure Test. After a shop, they have to head to Montsalvat colony where they must cook their dish. Jacques Reymond will be a guest judge for today’s test.
Conditions: 90 Minutes.
Progress: Well Jacques seems to like the ideas coming out from people. That could all change, and it does with Kath’s bouillabaisse creation procedure branded as ‘all wrong’ by Jacques. He wants her to just use the juices from the pot of crab. A lot of people are sweating I’ve noticed. Someone turn on the fans! Emma is making macarons and isn’t happy with their look. Yukio is just dripping in sweat. Kath’s dish is looking a bit messy so I hope she cleans it up! Mario also has a bit of a problem with his dish.
Soon, time is up, and it is time for tasting.
