Top Chef and Masterchef

Wednesday, November 24, 2010

I have been totally glued to all this cooking reality shows lately.

Ever since Diva (Channel 702) started showing Top Chef season 1...I have been following it religiously until now. It is aired every single day at 7pm. So, better not disturb me during this hour.

Masterchef just started a month back. Not too liking its concept. Firstly...its amateur cooks. I am alrite with that. It's the concept of the show I don't like. And Gordon Ramsay...he is too dramatic. The whole show is like so 'kan-cheong' and not natural. I just watch it coz there ain't anything to watch on Thursday. Anyway, I know who the winner is already. What a let-down! Feel like it is all planned!

Top Chef however...if you are into cooking and gourmet food...definitely can learn a lot from there. These chefs are so talented. And technicality is important to be a chef. After watching these programmes, I so want to eat in some fine dining place. But then again, paying RM200 or more for a meal per head...is something for me to think twice. Perhaps a special occasion, hubby?

Let's see the terms/ types of food that I have picked up...

Sous vide, hamachi, ceviche, frisee, pommes dauphin, carpaccio...

And the art and creativity into creating a dish is so overwhelming...




Season 1 (2006) winner: Harold Dieterle

All of all the celeb chefs, my favorite will always be Micheal Smith, the host of Chef Abroad,, he to me is so unpretentious, so candid i may say
