MASTERCHEF NEW ZEALAND

The Bookman greatly enjoyed this programme earlier in the year and is delighted to learn that Random House New Zealand, in addition to publishing a book by the winner Brett McGregor, in April 2011, is also publishing Masterchef New Zealand The Cookbook on 1 October 2010. This title will feature. among many other things, the recipes for the dishes that the finalists cooked on the show.
Good news too is that TVNZ is to screen  a second series of Masterchef New Zealand. No date yet but watch this space.

And while on the subject I was interested to read a two page story on the youngest finalist in Masterchef NZ, 22 year old Nelson resident Karyn Fisk, in the June 17 issue of Lucky Break magazine.

In the story she says, "I want to write a recipe book, for families like mine, who need healthy, quick and cheap meals that also taste delicious".
I am sure there will be a publisher out there who will be calling Karyn, she was a real star on the show.
