HE LOST a bet -- dinner at Tetsuya's -- as the first judge to cry on MasterChef Australia but Gary Mehigan has denied emotion influenced the decision to crown Central Coast mum Julie Goodwin the series winner.

After a hail of criticism over the final episode, Mehigan yesterday defended "cyclone" Julie's victory over Adelaide artist Poh Ling Yeow.

The Melbourne restaurateur burst into tears when the 38-year-old mum took out the series final but rejected claims he "let emotion prejudice the decision".

"There's nothing wrong with being emotional," Mehigan said. "I am so pleased for Julie and what this means for her family. We spent a long time with these contestants and watched them grow.

"We're proud to be a part of that process. But did I allow emotion to prejudice my decision? Absolutely not. What would be in that for me?"

Mehigan said editing also played its part in fuelling conspiracy theories that the judge had encouraged Julie to fix her "grainy" sorbet in the final chocolate dish without seeing he did the same for Poh.

Julie's kitchen meltdowns and failure to serve up stylised plates was not as important to the judges as taste, Mehigan said.

Critical fans vented their anger online yesterday, calling for blind tastings for all future series.

AUSTRALIA'S most famous dessert, the ARIA chocolate tart, which decided the record-breaking MasterChef final, was ``dumbed down'' to make it possible for the contestants to replicate it, chef Matt Moran has revealed.

And in another bombshell, Moran said he was not the dish's originator. It was his pastry chef, Andrew Honeyset, who spent three weeks working on the seven-piece dessert.

Moran said that Honeyset's deafness made it too problematic for him to present and explain the dish on television but he wanted to ensure that his partner in creme was given equal credit for the dish.

He said: ``He's incredibly talented. It starts off as a dessert he brings to me and we tweak it together. It's a partnership.''


Moran said two ingredients were removed from Aria's version of the dish so finalists Julie Goodwin and Poh Ling Yeow could reproduce it in the time allowed on the show.

The trick with chocolate, he said, was ``getting the temperature right and keeping an eye on it''.

``To be really honest it was a little bit dumbed down,'' he said.

``There were a couple of components missing, only because of time restraints for them.''

On the show a glacage (a French glazing) is used both as a smear on the plate and to coat the top of the tart. The real thing at Aria has a brulee coating.

Likewise the show used double-thick cream while Moran and Honeyset use a special oat ice cream.
Honeyset said he wanted to create a dish that used the same basic ingredient _ chocolate _ to produce a range of exciting textures, from the snap of the chocolate pipe to the silky smoothness of the chocolate mousse.

``It came over about three weeks,'' he said.

``I was trying to make a normal chocolate tart and dress it up a bit more with different textures.''

He also revealed that popular MasterChef contestant Justine Schofield was not being employed by Aria, as had been widely believed, but is instead being mentored by Moran in an unofficial capacity.

``She's actually not working here,'' he said.

``I'm just helping her out and showing her how a commercial kitchen works. She's been hanging out spending weekends with us.

``She's a lovely girl. She's actually got a lot of talent. One day she very well may work for me but at this point in time she's just enjoying it.''

Aria, which sells the tart for $24, said there had been a significant increase in bookings since Sunday's final, which, for anyone who just arrived from Mars, was won by Julie.

IT'S amazing the transformation that can occur when you drag a girl out of her chef's whites and into a glamorous gown.

MasterChef's sexy second place getter Poh Ling Yeow looked like a sweet treat herself in a portrait shot for Who Weekly magazine's Glamour issue, out today.

The artist turned kitchen goddess, who was sporting a smile rather than her usual expression of grim determination, admitted the makeover was a surprise.

"This is so different for me,'' she told Who.

The artist and part-time make-up artist said she is a low-maintenance woman.

"I've never had a manicure in my life. I am low maintenance. All I really care about is doing my face. I never really leave the house with no make-up on. It's always good to be presentable.''

Other Aussies making the Glamour list were Packed to the Rafters star Jessica Marias and Cate Blanchett.

稍微专业一点的说，他们好多菜在那么短的时间，50分钟啊什么的，要做出来是绝不可能的。我都不知道他们怎么可以鼓捣出个样子，再master的chef都不行，只能说是录播的东西，怎么剪都行，还弄得像真的在比赛一样。
