John & Gregg return...MASTERCHEF !!!!!!!!!!!

[MaryAnnSingleton]

Tonight !!!!! am so joyful

I cried when Matt won: he was so nice and I'm going to miss him.

I was getting sicm of seeing ravioli by teh end though.....I think it has been on display from one of them every time they have had the scope to create their own dishes.

Yes - they did get a bit obsessed. But I do love ravioli...

Hurray for Mat, his food looked truly exciting and different.

what was his final pud?

Lavender mousse with blackberry coulis and cinder toffee.

Yay! Just finished watching it. We were jumping up and down on the sofa when he won. [yes we're a bit sad]

Truly thought they'd go for Andy but Mat's final menu was definitely a cut above. Good luck to t'other two but the best man won. See you all next year?!

droool. thanks habbibu

I am desperate to make a chocolate teardrop!

yay - Mat deserved to win,though I'd get a bit fed up with pesky bits of lavender or whatever the flowers were on my food ! Oh dear, now what can I look forward to ?

About those chocolate tear drops.......

i am so pleased he won!! i wasn't keen on the tall chap.

was it my imagination, or did Mat called the honeycomb, 'hokey pokey' ?

He did. It is a NZ term which is where he grew up.

Will nobody tell me how to make chocolate tear drops?

seeker.

no idea but from what I could gather it does involve some faff with glycerol.

or glucose?

I had 'hokey pokey' ice cream the other day - from Baskin Robbins near the British Museum. Vanilla and honeycomb - rather tasty.

I want one of my children to be a Michelin starred chef so I can become the official taster.

Chocolate teardrop:

According to annoying voice over woman

You take a thimbleful of glucose and pour liquid chocolate in. then you pull pthe glucose into a 'stalk' WTF?

Anyone know what they actually win on Masterchef? Is it just the trophy and the glory, or do they really get a leg up in the restaurant trade?

I actually shouted for joy in fron of DH when Mat won! . He was so genuine and I loved the way he shed a tear whenever they complimented him! The other bloke irritated me beyond belief and I wanted to slap him. What am I going to do with my evenings now it's finished? (sad, loser emoticon)

I'm also glad that Mat won. Was v impressed with the way he put together ingredients in the invention test yesterday (venison/beetroot/chilli/fruit). The other two seemed pedestrian by comparison.

I made honeycomb once - it's volcanic !!
