Aussies want to be MasterChefs at home

HIT reality TV show MasterChef is not only serving up sizzling ratings, it appears to be shaping the way Aussies cook and eat.

An analysis of Australia’s most popular recipe website, Taste.com.au, shows that searches for recipes of dishes featured on the Channel Ten program surge immediately after they go to air.

sunday morning brekkieyep! i’m one of those people that get inspired by MasterChef Australia for sure!!

i think i’ve tried at least 4 or 5 of the dishes they’ve made – either in competition or from a masterclass (gotta love those masterclasses!). for example, pumpkin risotto (i always made a mushroom risotto but the show reminded me there are other kinds, lol), apple tarte tartin and even the pancakes with caramelised apple (as simple as it sounds!).

uh oh!

Jasper has started to string together ‘uh oh!’ so the level of cuteness has risen overnight 😉

he would only say ‘uh’ and leave us to finish with ‘oh’ for him, for months and months – so we were a bit taken back when we heard it put together!

too cute! he’s a great big brother too — when Jovie cries or is being changed, he will come over and sit near us and just watch or ask ‘what’s that?’ or say ‘bubba’. the only time we need to be really careful is when he has a toy car in his hands too.. he tends to want to ‘share’ his toys by throwing them at us LOL
