Camp Food, Masterchef style.

Stepping into the room, I glance around at the other contestants before taking my place behind the nearest available bench. Breathing slowly, I wait until I hear the words: your time starts now!

And we're off. The noise in the kitchen intensifies as people battle for ingredients and equipment, and I can hear the dramatic music playing in the background. Right. Gathering my thoughts, I take a second to think about the task at hand. 

Today I will be cooking my take on a delicious bowl of...Porridge. However, in this kitchen time is not your friend, so I will have to push myself.

The seconds fly by, and before I know it, five minutes has gone, and five minutes is left. And to make matters worse, I haven't even put my oats on. I fear this mistake may cost me. 

The pressure is building rapidly, and all of a sudden I hear a commotion in the dining room. The diners have arrived! Frantically I get the bowls ready for service. Out the corner of my head I can hear the countdown beginning. 5,4,3,2,1... Step away from your bench. 

Taking a breath, I smile to myself. No matter what the judges decide, I'm proud of my efforts, and I hope I get the chance to cook another day.

  5. Brooklyn this blog post is outstanding. I was really focussed the whole way through. I never thought of cooking on camp in a Masterchef way. It sounds challenging but fun and exciting at the same time. Your brain is definitely unique you can make any piece of writing interesting. Well done

  6. Fabulous recount Brooklyn, I must say that this was by far the most original Food Blog Post I've seen. It was great how at the start you had people sitting on the edge of their seats, wondering what was happening. Your wording was fantastic and I found the whole post hilarious. I loved how you made such a short piece of writing so engaging. Plus for those of us who watch Master Chef, we could relate to what was going on, which made it all the better. My only fault is that I do wish there was more of it. Only for the fact I wanted to keep reading.
