7TWO Cooking Shows

Update November 19, 2009: Channel 7 has slotted UK Channel 4’s culinary series, Come Dine With Me on its main channel at 5.00pm starting Monday November 30, 2009, hopefully starting from series 1 as it is currently up to series 6 in the UK

Can’t seem to find the recipes from ‘The F Word’ with Matt Moran on 7TWO, instead found some other recipes Matt did on air and in print:
Matt Moran’s Chilli Salt Squid and Brandade (from Channel 9’s ‘Mornings with Kerri-Anne’)
Matt Moran’s Scallops with Fennel and Chorizo (from Channel 9’s ‘Mornings with Kerri-Anne’)
Matt Moran’s Calamari with Aioli (from Channel 9’s ‘The Chopping Block’), please note there is a mistake in the original recipe on the ninemsn site, the calamari should only be deep-fried for about 2-3 minutes only, NOT 10 minutes!
Matt Moran’s Seafood Pasta (from Channel 9’s ‘The Chopping Block’)
Matt Moran’s Honey Chicken (from Channel 9’s ‘The Chopping Block’)
Matt Moran on ‘The Chopping Block’ (from ‘Gourmet Traveller’), including Banana Tarte Tatin with Nutmeg Ice-Cream and Baked Passionfruit Tartlets
Matt Moran’s Raspberry Tart (from ‘The Sydney Morning Herald’)
Matt Moran: When I Get Home (from ‘Time Out Sydney’), including Poires Belle Helene
Matt Moran’s Chocolate Tart

7TWO, the second digital channel for the Seven Network will launch on November 1, 2009, with quite a number of cooking shows in their schedule, mostly old British repeats with some new British and US shows which have not been shown here before on free-to-air-TV, in the afternoon timeslot. Could it be the MasterChef effect?

Let me grumble a bit…

After a long and disheartening decision, I’m going to close down my ‘Home Cooking Club’ forum to new members. It will only remain open to those who have contributed to the forum, other than that, no more new members will be accepted. That means in the future, any password-protected posts here in my blog will only be available to those members only. Please do not appeal to me to share those password-protected recipes here for all.

Have been neglecting this blog recently due to a very busy few weeks. Sorry for not responding to all your comments, will try to answer in the coming days when I find more free time. Anyway thought I would just do a quick post to update this blog…

MasterChef Australia: Julie vs Poh

Update July 19, 2009: And the First MasterChef Australia is…

Update July 20, 2009: Record TV audiences for MasterChef Australia finale!

Update November 20, 2009: There is a rumour circulating that 9am will be axed end of this year, so I’m transferring Julie and Poh’s recipe for Raspberry Custard Tart with Cocoa Hazelnut Pastry here in case they delete the 9am website and lost the recipe, I think this Cocoa Hazelnut Pastry is the recipe Poh used for her Chocolate Rhubarb Pie during the final week.

All Hail! MasterChef Australia

Macarons, nothing to do with this post but since macarons were featured in MasterChef Australia, so here’s mine.
