What Masterchef taught me....

It is said “simile is brightest when you have good food”. ‘That’ smile is seen on Matt’s face equally bright on George’s and Garry’s ( the judges of Masterchef Australia). A curve is seen on mine too changing the notion that tasting food is not really necessary to be glee. For me watching the show is itself a treat to my palate.

When I oversee, there is a complexity of different elements blended in the right proportion delivering an exemplary dish. It has led me to an understanding that passion is the driving force for all the contestants out there it should be for each one of us too. It’s that drives which has given them the courage to come forward and push themselves. Pushing yourself is mandatory in the competition and its diligence, which can help you achieve that. Hard work and confidence will go hand in hand at least in this case.

Food is depicted as a memory through the show. It reminds us to relate ourselves to the food we ate, connect memories to food and reinvent those. Its not just the memories but the people associated with it which i believe would make the dish tastier for a pinch of anything can make a difference and may it be love. That is seen throughout. When they create a dish with a memory of a person or a place in connection it has created a positive impact.

That will bring us to our core ingredient nostalgia, which makes us love, live and long for food. Re inventing the nostalgic elements in our food helps us connect with our past and present. This will definitely lead to a self-introspection. The idea of childhood on a plate did exactly that. As an individual it’s necessary that we don't forget the innocence of our past, change for good and evolve better. That is something not to be confined to the contestants alone but all of us.
