Snez Bids Farewell to MasterChef Kitchen after Pressure Test Challenge

Famous for her innovative dessert creations, Snez faced a daunting challenge on MasterChef Australia, orchestrated by the talented chef Anna. This pressure test required Snez, along with fellow contestants Darrsh, David, and Harry, to replicate Anna’s whimsical dish within a tight three-hour timeframe.

Stepping into the kitchen, Snez, the only participant with prior pressure test experience, acknowledged the intense nature of such challenges. Despite her past success with Jean-Christophe’s intricate Jack In The Box dessert, Snez viewed her familiarity with pressure tests as a potential burden rather than an advantage.

Upon seeing Anna’s entrance, Snez recalled past trials like the infamous Anna’s Mess, where a meticulously crafted dessert met an unfortunate fate on the plate. She noted Anna’s eccentricity and flair, characteristics reflected in her elaborate dishes.

The “Sunny Side Up” dish, while seemingly simple at first glance, hid intricate details that perplexed Snez. Concerns about mimicking the yolk’s texture and stability plagued her mind, adding to the pressure of the challenge.

During the task, Snez encountered a setback early on when she overlooked an essential ingredient in her passionfruit curd, forcing her to start over and fall behind her competitors. Despite this setback, she persevered, managing to catch up and present a completed dish to the judges.

Despite initial doubts about her dish’s flavor profile and execution, Snez felt a sense of accomplishment upon serving her creation. While the judges praised her efforts, they noted slight imbalances in flavors and mousse consistency, ultimately leading to Snez’s elimination from the competition.

Throughout her MasterChef journey, Snez aimed to inspire her children by showcasing the pursuit of dreams at any age. Her experience on the show fueled a newfound passion for the culinary world, with a deep regret of not highlighting her Croatian and Serbian heritage through her dishes.

Exiting the MasterChef kitchen, Snez now harbors a strong desire to continue her culinary pursuits, driven by the joy of cooking and creating. Reflecting on her time on the show, she longs to share the traditional flavors of her homeland with a wider audience.

The journey continues on MasterChef Australia, airing Sunday to Wednesday at 7.30 on 10 and 10 Play.
