MasterChef Australia Season 10 Episode 42 Immunity Challenge: Ashley Davis

In MasterChef Australia season 10 episode 42, the contestants took on yet another immunity challenge, this time featuring Ashley Davis, the head chef at The Paddington Inn. The stakes were high as the winner of this challenge would secure a spot in the top 5.

The challenge kicked off with the contestants being split into two teams of four, with each team taking turns picking a mystery ingredient to cook with. The catch was that only one cook from each team would be able to present their dish to the judges, and the other three would be safe from elimination for the time being.

The ingredients were revealed to be corn, white chocolate, beef and black garlic, and the contestants got straight to work on their dishes. The pressure was on as they knew that their chances of immunity and a guaranteed place in the top 5 were on the line.

The blue team's captain, Sashi, took charge and developed a strategy to make sure every team member's strengths were utilised. Meanwhile, the red team struggled to communicate and work together, which threatened their chances of presenting a cohesive and impressive dish.

As the time ticked away, the contestants became increasingly stressed, with some struggling to get their dishes finished before the final bell. But despite the challenges they faced, everyone managed to produce a dish that showcased the mystery ingredient they had picked.

In the end, it was time to taste and judge the dishes. The judges were impressed with the creativity and flavours in both teams' dishes, but ultimately, there could only be one winner. The blue team's dish, featuring a corn puree and beef two ways, impressed the judges and it was Sashi who presented the dish, securing her immunity and a spot in the top 5.

The rest of the contestants were left to face the looming elimination challenge, with the risk of being sent home now more significant than ever. But for Sashi, it was a moment of triumph and relief, knowing that she had secured a safe passage to the top 5 and was one step closer to the title of MasterChef Australia champion.
