The new season of MasterChef Australia: Fans & Favourites opened with a fiery round of powerful cooking that enchanted the judges with history-laden heritage cooking from across the world for the very first immunity pin challenge of season 14. As emotions ran high on the first episode, fans and favourites alike belted out flavours that overwhelmed the judges emotionally and culinarily. Previous season contestants like Christina Baptista, Sashi Cheliah, and Tommy Pham brought to the table delicacies from Portugal, Sri Lanka, and Vietnam respectively by re-creating and re-imagining thousand-year-old recipes from their roots to win over the judges. Sarah Todd recreated the fabled Rajasthani recipe, Lal Maas, introducing a new flavour and spice before the judges. Measuring up to the heat, the Fans team’s Jenn Lee created luscious Taiwanese beef noodles and stay-at-home mum Keyma Vasquez Montero made a signature Venezuelan seafood stew, both of which tingled the taste buds of the judges with new flavours and textures. The impressive cooking saw judges debate between home-style flavourful dishes vs contemporized back-to-roots dishes to ultimately hand out three MasterChef immunity pins, the third being a new addition to the regular two pins, for the top dishes created by the fans and the favorites.
