Winner of Masterchef 2013 Natalie Coleman is joining us for our second webchat to celebrate the launch of Mumsnet's new-look food section on MONDAY 2 DECEMBER between 1 and 2pm. Natalie won BBC ONE?s MasterChef 2013 with lobster tail starter and a ?pimped? roast pork belly served with a quail scotch egg proving to 6.5 million viewers ?the girl from Hackney done good!?. The former credit controller / techno DJ has ditched the 9 to 5, hung up the headphones and has started a journey into the world of refined dining with her trademark down to earth twist.

Find out what Natalie has been up to since winning Masterchef, quiz her about what it's really like to be under the scrutiny of John and Gregg and pick her brains about how to make the most of your cooking and baking on Monday between 1 and 2pm. If you're unable to make it, post a question to Natalie in advance on this thread.

A new cookbook MasterChef: The Finalists which includes a range of Natalie?s dishes from the series as well recipes from some of the other finalists (remember Larkin?) and some brand new recipes to inspire your cooking, has just been published by Absolute Press. We've got three copies to giveaway in a prize draw and all you have to do is join the webchat to be entered.

Natalie is in the building. She's just enjoying a MN lunch (Pret Christmas sandwich incase you're wondering) and will be with us in 5 mins to start answering your questions.

By the way Bloomsbury have just informed us that there's a special offer of 50% off RRP (bringing price down to just a tenner) on Masterchef: The Finalists up until 8th December.

I've just been browsing through the book and came across one of Natalie's recipes; Braised pig cheek with celariac puree, crackling and blackberries. Looking down the ingredients I also spot a liquorice root stick in there. I'm intrigued by this - how did this recipe come about and how did you discover that pig's cheek goes well with blackberries and liquorice??

@christmasmum

Do you get to use recipe books when you do the invention tests on Masterchef??

She's just doing a bit of filming but I'll see if I can find out for you Christmasmum...

@christmasmum

Natalie says: no you don't get to use anything - it's all in your head and I think that's where my strength is cos I've got a bit of a photographic memory.
