More than four million viewers tuned in to watch Julie Goodwin win the title of Australia's first MasterChef. For over three months, the Top Twenty MasterChef contestants had been battling to outcook each other under extreme kitchen conditions, often with unfamiliar ingredients, and in record time. In this book, the Top Twenty contestants share recipes they created on the show. There are mystery box and invention test winners galore - including Chris's controversial roast pig head and his creamy 'beeramisu' - alongside standout audition dishes such as Lucas's Singapore chilli mud crab. You'll also find recipes here for Adriano Zumbo's demonically difficult pressure-test desserts - the croquembouche, the pannacotta, and the now-infamous mousse cake. This cookbook contains sections on pantry basics, kitchen equipment, knife skills, and plating up like a professional, as well as classic recipes every wannabe chef should have in their repertoire. Includes recipes from top Australian and international chefs.
