In last night’s episode, Judge Manu Feildel announced couple Janelle and Monzir as the first team through to the grand final, saying they had cooked the best three-course menu of the semi-final.
“I’m just so relieved. We worked so hard for this and going to the grand final is an absolute dream come true,” said Janelle. “We’re hungry for this. I know we have so much more to give. We’re going to level it up one more time and we’re going to win this battle against Kate and Mary.”
Mary from the opposing team said: “We’ve come this far; we just want to go to the top. I can’t believe we’re one cook away from winning $100,000. It’s our intention to win this competition.”
2022 MKR grand finalists Kate and Mary and Janelle and Monzir
Last night, Kate and Mary, Janelle and Monzir, Sophie and Katherine, and Matt and KT battled it out over three courses, with the lowest scoring team, Matt and KT eliminated after the judging of the entrées.
Judges Manu and Curtis were underwhelmed by the team’s entrée of King Prawns with Bush Tucker Dukkah and River Mint Yoghurt.
The judges said Sophie and Katherine had nailed the protein in their main of Crispy Pork Belly with Parsnip Puree and Roast Pears but were let down by their sauce. They applauded the black peppercorn ice cream served with their dessert of Quince and Sour Cream Tart, but Manu said they should have made individual tarts to minimise error with cooking time.
Kate and Mary plated up a main of Duck Breast with Caramelised Radicchio and Potato Dauphinoise.
Janelle and Monzir served a main of Lamb Backstrap with Kisir and Ezme Salad.
