Reynold Poernomo's Chocolate Ganache With Honeycomb | MasterChef Australia

today i'm making some pasta i'm doing poppy deli and i'm putting some parsley through it and i'm going to do a broccoli sauce with it this dish has a couple of childhood memories in it it's a pasta dish but they come from different people so the parsley that i want to incorporate into my pasta is a memory that i have from my donna she used to tell me to go into the garden and pick herbs for her and then the broccoli so much reminds me of my mother and the way she used to prepare the stalk and give that to my little sister and i before a meal is such a vivid memory and i still do it as an adult so i feel like she needs to be in that dish as well and my non-normal used to have chickens i'd go pick eggs with him and so for me i kind of feel like the eggs in the pasta and he used to make pasta a lot that kind of goes together i need to get my pasta done because that needs time to rest my pasta is made with double low flour some semolina and some eggs it's a very simple recipe but pasta is the dish the brief today is talk about your childhood represent the fondest memories you have in your life on a plate food and enjoyment and family are all so entwuned so yeah it's pretty emotional if i could get into the top five with a meal like this it would mean the world to me more than any other meal i could have cooked what are you making um so today i'm going to be making some papiodelli with a broccoli pasta sauce i love puppeteer is my favorite the key is getting this absolutely spot-on love the simplicity love broccoli and pasta but the pasta has to be cracking i must be honest that feels very soft very wet very soft have you made this before yeah is it that soft gary's concerned that if i'm gonna do pasta it needs to be amazing i'm making pasta and sauce it's just so simple so this dish is without a doubt the biggest most riskiest dish i've done in this competition and a part of me wonders if i can actually pull that off 15 minutes to go now's a good time to start rolling out my pasta and making my puppy belly so i take it out of the fridge roll it out dust it with a load of flour because that's going to make it a lot easier to go through the pasta machine [Music] when i see the tear i instantly look at the time i think putting the parsley inside the papadely could have been a mistake i'll be honest i don't like it when people put herbs inside the pasta it changes the texture of the pasta yeah so i think someone may be in trouble yeah the entire competition rests on this pasta how am i going to turn this around to make me safe today all i can do is incorporate more flour and semolina i just hope that i can get the moisture out of it i'm anxious about how it's going to work time to start tying this all together 10 minutes to go come on come on less than 10 minutes ago and i've got to start plating out i cut a circle out of the ganache and a hole in the middle i cube up the orange jelly and put that in the center next thing to do is to put the chocolate crumb on top [Music] what is that oh it's just the crumble of what uh so i taste the crumb and something's really missing oh my god i've got to put sugar i can't believe it that is such a stupid mistake it just flew over my head can't really do much it's going to coat this in caster sugar and hopefully that it will cover the sweetness yes i've taken quite a bit of risk um you know it's all in all or nothing high emotion high stakes but it's all about getting into finals week five minutes to go come on i've perfected my perimeter off now it's not too hot so it's time to move on to the grill prawns so i can incorporate them into the dish i have definitely left it very late to cook my prawns so i get my bowl yes with my prawns yes what else capsicum and then fried garlic can i ask you a very simple question yes so i've got my bowl in front of me yes i've got my prawn shell on yes how do i eat them you're going to get your fingers in the soup aren't you all right i really need to think about how i'm serving this for next five minutes and i don't know how at the moment i'm starting to panic now this is a complete nightmare i need to rethink this dish but i am rapidly running out of time [Music] it was an emotional cook-off today for you when it's family doing this cook made me realize how significant where i've come from what i've learned and what i want to do in the future how much they're a part of every step along the way tell me about your number my mother's mum is deaf and i guess because she was deaf and i was little the way we communicated was through the food it's a very beautiful way of communicating is through food yes whether it's this meal or any meal when you put it in front of the people you love you're telling them that you love them i think this dish more than any would say that i wouldn't have to say it the dish would settle we'll taste your dish now then thanks guys thank you what do we think about presentation i like the fact that it's not messed around with it's papadely with broccoli that's what i'm looking at i think it's delicious i really do i struggle finding great little italian restaurants that serve pasta as good as this i just think that the flavour of the broccoli sings is some garlic and lots of parsley very very simple but good flavors it may be the simplest dish sarah's cooked to date in this competition but pasta should be simple the more you do to it the more you take away from it but the masterchef hat that i have to wear goes into play and i go geez is there a way you could have got more flavour out of that broccoli little flurries that could have made this something that's going to truly knock it out of the park you know you're safe so the question is is whether pasta in its simplest form is going to be enough to keep her in a competition we're not here to fill our stomachs we're here to fill our hearts and souls and that is done with what you tell us and then what you tell us on the plate and today was all that and more the stakes were high no doubt about it a place in the top five and of course finals week all four of you rose to the occasion but one dish blew our mind reynold we loved your dessert great combination of chocolate orange rosemary the presentation was beautiful so much technique at such a young age 21 and you've developed so much in this competition oh my gosh the best dessert of the season as far as we're concerned wow thank you reynolds congratulations you're safe you can join the others i cannot get this smile off my face i'm in the finals week all the little things that i wanted to do today it all paid off even though things went wrong but not giving up really does pay off so it comes down to the three of you sarah we loved that beautiful herbie papadeli but that sauce needed more complexity and we asked whether or not that was too simple matthew marco loved that golden bubbly top but what he didn't like was the balance of the white sauce jessica that broth was absolutely smashing we think the best of the season absolutely beautiful but the shells made it difficult to eat [Music] two of your dishes were both delicious and well balanced but one dish wasn't that dish belonged to [Music] matthew i'm sorry that's why you're going home don't make me cry it's pretty ironic that you're leaving on a pasta dish because we think about all the pasta dishes that you've given us have been uh incredible the tortellini that got you into the competition that i know that you sit at home and you make with with your daughter that is absolutely delicious the blue cheese tortellini with walnuts matthew you make tortellini like an italian grandmother who loves gianni versace dresses don't forget the pie it's the best pie i've ever eaten on this show seven years what are your favorite moments i think all of the team challenges i just loved i think pacopanio was special for me because you're an army boy of course you know for us to be able to give back i think to those guys that meant a lot to me personally it's a thrill of a ride but it's equally as fascinating for us to see the growth and yours has been incredible reynolds you know miss matthew oh i'm shattered he's always so positive no matter if it was a bad day or a good day he's always going to support everyone really you're a good man so matthew sorry though it's time to leave the bubble and get back into the outside world good luck getting this far in the competition has been amazing good looking yeah he goes for another thank you i've loved every minute of it i've got a lot to be proud of i can't wait now to see how i can change my life outside of the master chef kitchen you
