Welcome

Reaching the final of Masterchef 2007 was a rollercoaster of emotion, with huge highs and lows, but I loved every minute and learnt a huge amount. I owe a great deal to John and Gregg who had faith in my ability when I did not believe in myself. Since competing on the programme my life has changed considerably. I now write cookery columns for two magazines, give cookery demonstrations and am just working on my 13th cook book - unlucky number for some but not for me!!! I love all forms of country cooking, using seasonal and locally sourced produce. This blog is to enable me to share with you a few of my recipes and baking ideas. Enjoy Hannah xxxx

Are you following the new series of Masterchef this year? We have been avidly watching! Tomorrow is our "previous finalists" episode which I am on (don't think I will dare watch in case I say anything wrong - watch out for the pomegranate ice cream - it was STUNNING!) This is what the Radio Times says about the episode "The remaining 12 contenders face a daunting challenge as they cook for previous finalists and winners of the competition, working under head chef John Torode in their first restaurant-style service. They are asked to design a stand-out dish for the three-course menu and have just 30 minutes to deliver their food once the orders have been taken. The diners include Dhruv Baker, Mat Follas, James Nathan, Steven Wallis, Peter Bayless and Thomasina Miers." [and me too!] So tune in at 9pm on BBC1 tonight to watch us all! The below is a snap shot in the hotel the night before filming. We had a lot of fun and it was so strange to meet people for the first time who I felt as if I already knew personally.

yes, I'm watching it. I'm always in awe/total shock that people will happily put themselves under such pressure!

Looking forward to watching it tonight.

You are very good at keeping quite and not spoiling things. Had it been me, I'd have blabbed like a babbling brook!

really enjoyed Masterchef last night. Most of the food looked yummy.

Just how much did Greg scoff?! (I am sure he didn't eat everything, but he seemed to tuck in to rather alot!)

have a lovely weekend.

Hi Hannah, Am a big fan of you, your blog and Masterchef and avidly read and watch all the time - I have tried twoce to get on MC, but not so much as a sniff at an interview, never mind making the final selection! I'm enjoying this year's change on fiomrat too - real shame they didn't spend more time on the 'previous winners', would have been good to get more of a critique from you all. Lucy
