Last night My Kitchen Rules farewelled another team and dropped a surprise twist.
Jane and Emma came so close to delivering a shock elimination but slipped close to the finish line going down by 45 to Eva and Debra’s 51 when presenting their signature dish to the judge’s table.
Their spiced sweet potato pie with raspberry and peach sorbet was well-received and Pete and Colin Fassnidge raved about their presentation.
“That was grand final plating,” enthused Colin. “Everyone around should look at their plating. But I wanted a little bit more texture; I wanted a crust. But to look at, your plating it was stunning.” “It was the most elegant dish we’ve had in the competition so far,” added Pete. “The pie was heavy handed with the spice is the only negative I can bring to that dish.”
It was such a close call, but Eva and Debra’s braised ox tail with roasted bone marrow was melting in the mouth and full of so much flavour that it won the entire judge’s table over. Said Guy Grossi in awarding a nine: “I think it’s a really rich, beautiful dish. I really, really enjoyed your dish.”
In accepting the praise, a teary Debra said she was proud they were able to do their dish proud for their dads. “I’m really proud of us because this dish is really close to our hearts. It’s what our dads both love to cook.” In bidding the competition farewell, Jane said they’ll look back at the experience as one of the highlights of their lives. “We’re so proud of how far we’ve come. We’re not going home the same people; we’re stronger for this. This competition has meant so much to us. This is a life-changing experience.”
After farewelling Jane and Emma the judges had a nice surprise for the final five. “MKR is about evolving. Which teams have learnt the most and grown the most and that’s what we want to know,” host Pete Evans told the teams. “And that’s what we need to find out. It’s time for the ultimate instant restaurant round.”
The Top 5 teams embarking on the ultimate instant restaurant round are:
Drasko and Bianca (WA)
Eva and Debra (WA)
Will and Steve (NSW)
Jac and Shaz (QLD)
Ash and Camilla (VIC)
Tonight Drasko and Bianca are back in the home kitchen of Wild Pastures for what they hope will be a supreme dining experience. It’s time to see how much they’ve learnt during the competition.
My Kitchen Rules airs Monday to Wednesday at 7.30pm and Sunday at 7.00pm on Channel Seven.
