Filmer Family Masterchef

All of my family enjoys cooking, my brother and i procastinated through uni quite often by cooking elaborate meals such as home made ravioli (pasta from scratch) or mushroom stuffed chicken breast wrapped in pastry with a creamy mustard sauce. So last year in July i went home to Alice Springs to visit my parents and we decided to have a masterchef cook-off between us. This was more for fun than anything else, however it became apparent that we were more competative than first predicted and decided next time to bring in external judges.

My dish was chickpea bruschetta with grilled cherry tomatoes to start and for mains I made haloumi pasta with mango chutney and grilled naan bread.

Bluey (Dad) made amazing lamb shank pies with a side of mash (and a chickpea and pumpkin casserole for our vego friend next door)

Mum made a fabulous sweet potato and bean salad with a stunning dressing and fish with spring onions, rice and a lot of love.

Unfortunately my brother wasn't home at that time but i'm sure he would have made something spectacular if he had been. Next time we will have the judges and all four of us will compete. Until then.
