!! And there were just two !!

Wow!!, many of you were present yesterday at Bhavini’s place. It was simply amazing contest, preparatios were out of the world.

Guys, we have our finalists!! Kalpa Shah and Ameeta Gala!!!. Don’t miss out the finals that is going to one of its kind, live cooking under pressure. This is what will define the master chef, this is what will earn them the title and bragging rights. The rules for finals are very tough, read them out here. Live cooking, no prepared food , no help, one hour to cook!! Now that is some pressure, some intimidation, don’t you agree. This is what it takes to be a Master Chef.

Hats off to all the contestants for amazing journey so far, for their guts to take on challenge. That defines their personality as a dreamer as a go getter as a doer persona. I am hoping that next year we have more than 8 contestants.

Due to enormous requests we are thinking of opening up the guest list for another 3 to 4 families, will have final post later today after we work out logistics.

Finally, all of you, please send in your recipe and hi-res picture of yourself and dish if you have one for the first community cookbook. Contestants please send your recipe for all your contest dishes.

For those of you have registered but yet to pay the gate fee, please do so using paypal or credit card. This is the preferred way to pay for gate fee rather than cash and will help us understand who is really going to make it to party and help manage the event better. Gate fee will confirm the final guest list.Mona will send out email to all registered guests too as a reminder to make sure they are still going to make it to party.

The reason for gate fee is to have this as community event rather than our private party and community will recognize the winner by awarding the winner with $50 cash prize plus real double breasted chef coat and hat.

Looking forward to exciting and challenging finale.
