ItвЂ™s the big final tonight of Masterchef вЂ“ The Professionals, and we have three deserving finalists, angsty Aussie Ash Mair who battled on in an heroic-stylee despite getting hot fat splashed in the eye to produce an amazing main course last night, вЂњSpikyвЂќ Steve Barringer making delightful desserts from disaster-zone-looking messy workspaces, and clever Brummie Claire Hutchings, who has made some amazing food during the series with brave flavour combinations, all the more astonishing considering she was 22 at the time they made the programme.Дespite wanting Claire to win, my money is now on Ash.

Author Mike Hughes Posted on 16 December 2011 24 January 2012 Categories Food, Television Tags Ash Mair, Claire Hutchings, Masterchef, Steve Barringer 1 Comment on Ash Mair вЂ“ Masterchef Pro 2011вЂ™s worthyВ Champion Masterchef вЂ“ The Professionals 2011: EveryoneвЂ™s aВ winnerвЂ¦ДЄnother diversion from the usual tech and travel diet, to something which might mean you need to go on a dietвЂ¦ But, a selection of ClaireвЂ™s recipes from Masterchef (including the rather good looking chocolate moelleux) can be found on the BBC Food recipe database, along with selected dishes from the other finalists. Sadly, it looks like that recipe is a secret known only to Claire, and now Michel Roux Jr. The other frequent search term landing here is for ClaireвЂ™s chocolate sorbet. There is a basque restaurant opening up in London, but so far, Ash doesnвЂ™t seem to be associated with it.

From this recent tweet it seems like heвЂ™s off to Barcelona to consult for a restaurant there. Just as long as I donвЂ™t have to eat any.ДЄ lot of the searches which hit this page are wondering where to find Ash so you can go and eat his food. While Ash is the worthy Champion, the other two are still winners: Hopefully Steve is now on the road to his ambition of a small country house hotel with fantastic food, and as for Claire, I think the worldвЂ™s her oyster. If IвЂ™d have walked into a restaurant and been presented with a menu composed of the dishes from all three finalists, IвЂ™d have had a tough time choosing вЂ“ especially for main course!ДЄsh has been commenting on Twitter about the whirlwind which he now finds swirling around him, and itвЂ™s not just the howling south-westerlies weвЂ™ve been having earlier this week: He was on BBC Breakfast with Michel Roux Jr this morning, and I donвЂ™t know if it was just his laid-back Aussie style, but he still seemed almost stunned! But his dessert вЂ“ an abstracted peach melba вЂ“ looked a lot on the plate, a bit too cluttered. SteveвЂs starter of confit salmon was right up my street, and the duck with braised chicory got my mouth watering. Even though choc and cherries are a classic combo, Claire is clearly clueful when it comes to what works with pastry вЂ“ just think of that lime cheesecake and bitter chocolate sorbet she did! Sadly, I wouldnвЂ™t have touched the oysters вЂ“ they just arenвЂ™t my cup of tea, unadventurous prole that I am.

Great looking chocolate and coffee marquise for dessert as well, that would have tied with AshвЂ™s вЂњSpanish pain perduвЂќ. ItвЂ™s something IвЂ™d have happily ordered in a restaurant. I loved the look of ClaireвЂs smoked pigeon вЂ“ getting the cooking and smokiness just right must have taken some serious timing and judgement. IвЂ™m told that look on his face isnвЂ™t angst, itвЂ™s concentration and grim determination to pull it off.Д«ut, I think it was a close call, as all three finalists pulled the stops out to make an amazing three courses. Merging often delicate Michelin star standard cooking and presentation with a plate of serious substance seems to be an elusive skill, yet Ash manages to pull it off time and time again. He also did it in style, with another round of exquisite yet somehow hearty food that showcased the ingredients as much as it showcased his own skill.
