Hi everyone!

| A visual description of how much I love MasterChef |
I'm Rosa, perpetually lost Journalism/Arts student and
wannabe MasterChef. Instead of getting my life together, I'm starting this blog
which half-jokingly tracks my progress to MasterChef Australia 2017.
Like all MasterChef contestants, I'm emotionally unstable
and my passion is food. Unlike them, I'm normally the one sitting at the dinner
table, rather than standing at the stove. Don’t get me wrong though, I do enjoy
cooking! I'm just lazy and dreadful at following recipes. Whenever I do cook
there’s always at least one major disaster and I always take four times as long
as expected.
Basically, this blog is going to follow my culinary mishaps on
my way to becoming Australia’s next, next MasterChef. As well as aiming for
greatness, I want to pay homage to one of the best, albeit trashiest, shows to
ever grace our nation’s television screens.
Last week, my blog inspiration arrived in the form of this season's trailer. Unsurprisingly I was indecently thrilled about the release, since I'm easily excitable and have terrible taste in television. Thankfully, the
one-and-a-half minute clip lived up to my expectations. The editors did a
fantastic job in dressing up a show about amateur cooks into looking like a
Hollywood blockbuster. I was hooked from the moment the melodramatic music began
to swell. When my beloved trio of culinary musketeers swaggered through those
doors, I felt like I’d come home.

The return of MasterChef signifies the return of my life’s
purpose. Ok that’s an exaggeration, but it isn’t far from the truth. I'm probably the biggest MasterChef fan in the world. I'm not kidding- my
seventeenth birthday was MasterChef themed.
I'm unapologetically in love with MasterChef, even though I
openly acknowledge that it isn't highbrow content. The thing is, it doesn't have to be. It’s not trying to be original or profound, it’s just trying to
entertain. In that respect, it’s a bit like this blog. I hope you stick around
for the commencement of my journey next week!
Cheers,
Rosa
