The first pint-sized chefs have been eliminated from Junior MasterChef.
Aya, 11 (NSW), Caroline, 11 (NSW), Jade, 9 (QLD) and Hannah, 10 (VIC) left the competition after guest chef Tony Bilson asked them to whip up Lobster Risotto with Chanterelles and Truffles. A tall order.
The four were part of a group of six who had battled through two challenges including their own versions of “The Perfect Roast” and a pressure test.
But despite being eliminated, the mini-chefs are happy to talk up their experience.
Caroline (pictured) said, “I’ve loved every minute of my time on Junior MasterChef. I knew that being on the show was going to be fun but I never realised how much fun we would all have. I was happy with the risotto today but unfortunately everyone did such a good job that mine just wasn’t good enough.”
Hannah added, “It was not scary cooking for the judges as I pretended in my mind the judges were my family members and I was just cooking for my family. I was a little nervous cooking for the Prime Minister though, in case I poisoned her! I was very pleased with my risotto dish, although everyone else’s looked spectacular so I knew it would be a tough decision for the judges to make.”
Producers eliminated 4 of the Top 20 to avoid isolating any one child.

@ Chris. Actually i dont mind it when the kids realise that it is a competition afterall. Although that could be explained by the parents being pushy. still even if i could have watched this show i wouldnt have.
Why not just trim the show!
Over the top, this series. I doubt many adult contestants would have an easy time of these recipes, let alone kids.
I often think of ordinary kids at home watching this – you know, the Peter Russell Clarke kids cook book, let’s make mum and dad banana splits for dessert while ruining the kitchen-type kids. They must have Nothing to relate to.
My two favourites (Caroline and Aya) left yesterday. 🙁 Also, I’m not really a fan of Zac. Most of the other kids are there to have fun but Zac seems like a game-player, which is understandable for the adult version but a bit unsettling in one so young.
I loved the trophies the kids got when they were eliminated. That was a pretty hard dish they had to cook but god it looked delicious.
What fun, great show- these kids were so lucky to work with such a fine production!
