Just sharing this video from New British Kitchen TV Show (UKTV) featuring some of Filipino dishes that we always love. Enjoy!

 

 

The New British Kitchen is a UKTV show which takes us on a culinary exploration of the UK, discovering how settling migrants have brought their homeland's cuisine with them to the area.

Last thursdays episode of Top Chef All Stars was quite interesting (Episode 14 if I'm not mistaken)

 

QUICKFIRE CHALLENGE (Wolgang Puck as Guest Judge)

RICHARD had to cook something with hotdogs; ANTONIA with only canned goods and pre-processed food as ingredients; and MIKE can only use One Pot....... Midway thru theor prep work, they were each given a handicap. RICHARD can only cook with only one hand, ANTONIA had to cook together with CARLA HALL by her side. (they were tied together so each of them can only use one hand) and MIKE cannot use any of his knives or other utensils.

 

In the end, MIKE's dish won and he got 5000 dollars as prize.

 

 

ELIMINATION CHALLENGE:

 

The three contestants were to cook for three celebrity chefs ...... (theme would be what the celebrity chefs want to eat for their last meal)

 

RICHARD had WOLGANG PUCK and he asked for Ghoulash and Apple Strudel; ANTONIA had this Japanese Iron Chef named MORIMOTO (I think) and he asked for a simple bento of Miso Soup, Sashimi and well cooked Rice. MIKE was to cook for MICHELLE BERNSTEIN and she asked for Fried Chicken and Gravy.

 

At the end of the Competition it was RICHARD that won so he gets to move on to the FINALE.

 

While I thought it was over ........ Host PADMA gave the other two chefs one last chance and they were to immediately cook a tasty amuse bouche for the judges. It was a close call but the judges voted in favor of MIKE so ANTONIA was sent packing.

 

 

-------------------------------------

 

The win by RICHARD should give him the cofidence to cook his best going into the very last challenge though he shuold be a bit wary because MIKE might pull out a few surprises of his own....... we will know this coming thursday.

Top Chef 8 Finale (Championship Round)

 

It was an epic battle between RICHARD "Willy Wonka" BLAIS and MIKE ISABELLA as both contestants came out with guns blazing. They were to cook a four course tasting menu for the judges and 70 other people (kinda like a mini restaurant wars) and everybody in judges panel agreed that both of them cooked really delicious food. (I think it was only in the fourth course dessert that both fell just a little short)

 

I think after a tough debate, they decided on one winner and it was RICHARD that took home the prize. (yehey, I was rooting for him)

Now that a new Top Chef is crowned ...... what I'm looking forward to is their REUNION Episode in which all the Contestants and Main Judges gather together in a studio and talk (and joke) about the just concluded season. I'm quite interested to see if the following issues would be talked about ......

 

  • JEN's outburst during judges table in episode 2 and her eventual elimination.
  • JAMIE going to the hospital over a minor cut on her finger.
  • JAIME not agreeing to put out her dish during the "Tennis" challenge.
  • FABIO's losing Hamboorger dish (thats how he pronounced it)
  • MIKE copying RICHARD's oyster dish (of which MIKE won the Quickfire with said dish)

probably third. i think. its not as brutal as top chef - i feel like they give the pro chefs a lot of leeway.

 

sounds interesting ....... I'll try to see if its already available in the torrents.

 

 

Just finished watching the Top Chef All Stars Reunion Special ...... I was a bit shocked that one of the contestants made bad remarks against their head judge TOM after she was eliminated in the first episode.
