I am the biggest Masterchef fan. I love it. I’ve tried to enter, I’ve got the cookbook and I’ve been to the pop-up restaurant. So I was of course very excited when I found out that Masterchef UK begins again this Wednesday and runs for 15 weeks. I’ve decided that each week I’m going to try to recreate a dish at home inspired by the show that week and then blog about it. But why just do this on my own? Why not turn it into an event? If you follow this blog you’ll know that I love entering competitions. Two of my favourites are Daring Cooks and Taste and Create as they both push me to try something different. I’m hoping that Inspired by Masterchef will have the same effect.
If you’d like to join me in this, then here’s what to do:
- Create and blog about a recipe inspired by Masterchef. It can be any series of Masterchef.
- Include a link back to Searching for Spice and this post.
- Send an email to searchingforspice (at) hotmail (dot) co (dot) uk with Inspired by Masterchef as the subject. Include your name, your blog’s name, your post and a link to it as well as a photo.
At the end of each week I will publish my post plus a link to anyone else who has joined in. I can’t wait to see what we come up with.

Hey, sincere good luck with this. Sadly, I am US or I would give it a shot. i do have a suggestion, I haven’t tried, but do you know if youtube has any episodes, or if anyone is streaming the episodes?
And just a suggestion, but a graphic that people can post on their blog would also make this more of a fun event… good luck, hope you get a couple dozen folks who want to play along

Thanks for the advice Dave. I’m going to try and work out how to make graphic for this. I’ve never done it before and I’m not that good with things like that but hopefully a few internet searches will help.
Also, anyone who wants to take part can create something inspired by any Masterchef episode, it doesn’t just have to be the Uk one, although that will be the one I’ll be watching.

@ Dave: I’m not sure If you’re able to acsess the UK version. You can try watching it on the BBC Iplayer but it might be for UK residents only. If all else fails, you may be able to download it from somewhere.
@ Corina: I might try doing this, I got really inspired by the Australian version so much that I’ve decided to go to Cooking school next year

@Grawr, it would be great if you would like to join in. I’m still deciding what I’m going to make for my first week.
