South Australian mums Bree and Jessica have taken out the My Kitchen Rules title after defeating resident villains Chloe and Kelly from Western Australia.
The controversial cook-off started with the aptly dressed women – Chloe and Kelly in black (like their souls?) and the angelic mums in white – delivering extended monologues about their families. After plenty of “this means so much to us”, “this will change our lives”, etc, the ladies got down to business.
It was Jess and Bree’s beetroot Carpaccio VS. Chloe and Kelly’s Caprese salad.
Manu was probably sick of his own voice after critiquing a team for the lack of sauce on a dish. This time it was Bree and Jess who made the doozy but the dish was well received by the rest of the judges. Chloe and Kelly got bonus points for making their own mozzarella, which Pete said, “Was a wonderful display of confident cooking.”
After some quick back patting, the teams were on to the second course – open scallop lasagne with fennel puree from the SA mums and confit ocean trout with broad bean pesto from the WA travellers. (Hungry yet?)
It was another winner for Bree and Jess with Martini saying, “This is a very fragile, perfect dish.” Chloe and Kelly hit a few speed bumps with the judges finding bones in their fish.
