Ilse Fourie and Charles Canning get the good MasterChef SA news while Cameron and Callie Ann go home.

Ilse Fourie was relatively absent in episode three of MasterChef South Africa. We can only assume this is because she cruised through the braai stage with no drama worth sharing with the South African public.

Thus far in the competition Ilse has appeared composed, determined and without doubt a contender for the title of South Africa’s first MasterChef. She whipped the competition into submission in episode three and would appear to be in cruise mode at the moment.

She cried tears of joy at hearing the news that she was progressing and the popular contestant moved onwards and upwards in the competition. She is going to step it up a gear or two though as the show progresses. You know what they say about cream, it always rises to the top.

Charles Canning is from Cape Town and he had a pretty exciting Cape Malay Fish Masala with Rice and Kachumber recipe to present to the MasterChef SA judges.
We also have one of our first examples of “what is that” for this season of MasterChef.

Kachumber is a spicy Indian salad made with tomatoes, onion and chilli, essentially a salsa but sounds a lot more exotic. The story does not end their though because this very same dish is very popular in East and Southern Africa except there it is known by it’s Swahili name Kachumbari which is a derivative of the original Sanskrit word, Kachumber.

So Charles had a whole African aspect to his dish that he appears not have been aware of otherwise he would have used the Swahili name.
