Masterchef

The part I liked best at camp was Master Chef.

Masterchef was created in the 1990’s by Franc Roddam. It was for the United Kingdom. In the year 2001 they stopped filming it. In 2005 it was revived. Now the competition is in over 40 different countries including China, Turkey and Italy. Occasionally they have special seasons such  as Masterchef Junior and Celebrity Masterchef.

On Wednesday one we had our own version of Masterchef so for the whole day we had to cook for ourselves.

We only had these ingredients:

Pancake Mix                  3 Potatoes                           

Instant Pudding      1 Onion                         

20 Slices Of Bread     1 Egg

12 Cheese Slices     2 Carrots

1 Can Of Spaghetti     1 Box Of Jelly

12 Saveloys     2 Packets Noodles

1 Can Of Pineapple Rings    1 Packet Of Gravy

1 Can Of Peaches                Mince

Honey

Our Menu Was:

Breakfast:

Pancakes with pineapple, peaches and honey made into a smiley face.

Lunch:

French toast with noodles and saveloys.

Dinner:

Meatballs with mashed potato and honey glazed carrots.

Dessert:

Pineapple filled jelly with instant pudding.

For breakfast our jobs were:

Jelly: Paige and George

Pancakes: JJ, Milly and I.

Presentation: Paige, Milly and I.

For the presentation we didn’t know what to do. Paige decided to carve out a smiley face but it didn’t look good. I decided to put a peach as a mouth. Milly used honey as hair and paige cut pineapples for eyes and ears.

For lunch our jobs were:

French toast: George and I.

Noodles: Milly.

Saveloys: JJ, Milly and Paige.

Presentation: Milly, Paige and I.

I was worried with the french toast because I have never made it before.

When I had made the mixture I ran outside with the bread and the mixture.

The first one we put on didn’t go well, it got burnt, but after awhile we got the hang of it. When I had the noodles and the french toast on the plate I was wondering why it was taking them so long with the saveloys. When I looked outside I caught them eating them. When I tasted them they were perfect.

For dinner our jobs were.

Potatoes: JJ, Milly and I.

Instant pudding: Milly and I.

Meat balls: George, Milly, JJ and I.

Honey glazed carrots: Me.

I had trouble with the honey glazed carrots because when I used a knife to spread it on it failed because it went everywhere. Then I realized I had spilt some honey on the plate so I just rubbed the carrots in it. When I was done I tried a meatball to see if it was done, it was a bit raw so we put them back. We ended up having a nice dinner. For the scores we came 4th.

Next time I would like to get 10/10 for one thing by not over cooking, under cooking and not putting the wrong things in. I would also like to get into the top 3 groups.

My team did very well. I would like to do this all over again. Hopefully I also get into the actual show. I will keep cooking and improving.
