MasterChef has been a staple in the world of cooking shows ever since it premiered in Australia in 2009. Now in its fifth season, the show has seen a lot of talented chefs compete against each other to be crowned as the next MasterChef. The latest episode of season 5 was no different, with Laura and Lucia going head to head in a fierce crepe duel. However, they both made some serious mistakes that could cost them their place in the competition.

Crepes are a French delicacy that requires a delicate touch and precise technique in order to get the perfect texture and flavor. In the challenge, Laura and Lucia had to make from scratch in under 30 minutes and then fill them with a variety of ingredients. The judges, Jock Zonfrillo, Melissa Leong, and Andy Allen, would then taste their creations and decide who made the better dish.

However, both Laura and Lucia stumbled early on in the challenge when they failed to properly measure their ingredients. Laura used too much sugar in her batter, while Lucia used too much flour. This led to uneven cook on the crepes and affected the overall texture and flavor of the dish. The judges commented on the unevenness of the crepes and how they were too thick, which resulted in them being overcooked.

The second mistake the contestants made was in their filling. While they both used unique and interesting ingredients, they failed to balance the flavors properly. For example, Laura’s combination of caramelized banana and peanut butter sounded great on paper, but in reality, it was too sweet and overpowering. Similarly, Lucia’s filling of ricotta, honey, and roasted apple lacked balance and didn’t have a clear identity.

Thirdly, both contestants struggled with their presentation. They failed to plate the crepes in an appealing way that would draw the judges’ attention. They also didn’t spend enough time on the overall aesthetic of their dish, such as incorporating extra garnishes and decorating the plate.

The fourth mistake made by the contestants was undercooking their crepes. Both Laura and Lucia failed to cook their crepes long enough, resulting in a slightly raw texture that made them difficult to eat. The judges commented that the undercooked crepes were a letdown and affected the overall flavor of the dish.

Finally, both contestants lacked confidence in their dish, which affected their overall performance. They hesitated when presenting their dish to the judges and didn’t showcase enough enthusiasm or pride in their creation. This lack of conviction made the judges question the overall quality of their dishes.

In the end, both Laura and Lucia were disappointed and knew they could have done better. While they both made great attempts at a difficult dish, their mistakes hindered their overall performance.

In conclusion, while they might have made a few serious mistakes, this is only a testament to the competitiveness and the difficulty of the challenge. Both Laura and Lucia showed great determination, creativity, and skill, which are all qualities that are needed to succeed in the culinary world. I look forward to seeing what other challenges and creations will come out of this season’s MasterChef, and who will be crowned as the next MasterChef champion.
