The chances are pretty high that you would’ve been one of the 5.7 million Australians who watched the finale of Masterchef last night and saw Adam clean up.
So, seeing as that show has captured the imagination of the Australian public (that stat means that roughly 26% of the country was tuning in!) I thought it would be appropriate today to reflect on the motivation that this show has given to every day people.
Sure the contestants on the show are a bit more than just your regular, everyday cook, they are pretty talented people to whip up some of those dishes that they plate up but the big thing for me is the ripple effect that a show like Masterchef has on people.
The thing that I like about the show is that it has got people interested in food which can only be a good thing.
Sure, the dishes they cook up on the show are not exactly what you would classify as part of a normal healthy eating plan but it gets people in the kitchen.
Surely this is better than people refusing to cook and living on a fast food diet.
And I think that people realise that once people understand that cooking isn’t the hardest thing on earth, and doesn’t have to take ages to prepare a meal, then they will be more likely to do more of it.
Hey, if someone like me can release a cookbook helping people cook a quick healthy dinner (my 13.5 Quick, Healthy Recipes in 13.5 Minutes or Less that comes with my Aussie Fatblast program) then surely anyone can get in the kitchen and cook up a storm.

I would love to see that 5-10 years down the track we can look back and say that shows like this were the cornerstone for getting a nation re-interested in cooking and food and that it has filtered on to people cooking healthy meals and bringing families together again.
The show doesn’t put contestants through military style workouts and only for the entertainment of others like some shows do. It doesn’t get put people in a house to see who can get sick of who and it doesn’t glorify criminals.
It just puts people in a cook off and gets a quarter of the nation watching and inspired. And surely that can’t be a bad thing.
What’s your take on shows like Masterchef? Good or bad for the public? I’m interested to hear below.
