The more I watch Masterchef, the worse my cooking becomes.








Frankly, the thought of that is about as attainable as waking up tomorrow morning able to speak Mandarin. So without even making a conscious decision about it, I lowered the bar and dinner is now about assembling bits and pieces or reheating or opening cans or persuading Luca (the real chef in the house) to whip up a stir fry (if there is some DOCS law against saying to your child "Please can you make dinner tonight, PLEASE?" I have broken it countless times).

But these past few weeks, somehow, I'm now not even able to re-heat something without burning it. Last week it was an apple pie I bought at the grower's markets. This week, store-bought lasagne. I am rapidly developing a morbid fear of my own oven.

So. Let's comfort and inspire each other by answering this question: what are you having for dinner tonight? Tell me. From gourmet to cereal, let's take a peak onto each other's dinner plates….

My friend and I decided on cooking a Masterchef recipe last night before the finale...grabbed a recipe from the Masterchef faves - Moroccan Casserole with Cous Cous, hit Coles and got ready for our extravaganza...

We decided to cop out on making 2 courses so bought some good old Betty Crocker....

Masterchef? Disasterchef. Who fails at Betty Crocker? WE DID! The main was a 6/10? Maybe?

Pressure test FAIL! But not as bad as The Daily Telegraph's fail...they published an article titled "Poh's winning ways" or something of the sort...Poh Wins Masterchef....Journalism fail!
