Ep 10. Episode 10

In Episode 10 of MasterChef Australia season 11, the remaining contestants face one of the most challenging cook-offs of the season. As they enter the kitchen, they are greeted by a surprise guest judge - Jock Zonfrillo, the chef behind the award-winning restaurant Orana.

The contestants are split into two teams and have to cook a three-course meal for a group of special guests. However, there's a catch - they have to cook with a particular ingredient in each course, and this ingredient is different for each team. The teams have to decide who will cook each course and what dish they will make.

The red team receives chicken as their main ingredient, while the blue team is given beef. The teams also receive a mystery box containing ingredients they can use for their dishes. With only two and a half hours to prepare and cook three courses, the contestants know they have to work fast.

As they start cooking, there's a lot of tension and pressure in the kitchen. Some contestants struggle with the limited time and the challenge of cooking a three-course meal under pressure. Others are more confident and take charge of their team's menu, creating dishes that they hope will impress the judges.

The first course is a starter, and both teams have to cook a dish using salmon. The contestants have to get their dishes out in 45 minutes, which means they have to work quickly and efficiently. As they start plating, the judges take a closer look at the dishes, assessing the presentation, taste, and execution of each dish.

The contestants move on to the main course, and this is where the pressure really mounts. The red team has to cook a chicken dish while the blue team has to cook beef. The contestants have to make sure that the meat is cooked to perfection, and that the seasoning and sides complement the meat.

With the clock ticking down, the contestants work frantically to finish their dishes. Some of them struggle with the meat, while others struggle with the sauces and sides. However, as the dishes start coming together, they look and smell delicious.

The final course is dessert, and the contestants have to create a dish using raspberries. The pressure is on to create a dessert that is both delicious and beautiful, but also matches the theme of the meal.

As the clock counts down, the contestants work hard to finish their dishes. There are some hiccups and mishaps along the way, but they all manage to complete their three courses on time.

Finally, the judges taste each dish and give their verdict. They assess each course and provide feedback on what worked well and what could have been better. The teams are eager to hear the verdict and find out who will be going into the next round of the competition.

Overall, Episode 10 of MasterChef Australia season 11 is a tense and thrilling episode that showcases the talent and creativity of the remaining contestants. With each challenge, the competition gets tougher, but the contestants rise to the occasion, creating dishes that are both delicious and beautiful. The judges have a tough job ahead of them, but ultimately it's up to the viewers to decide who will be the next MasterChef.
