MasterChef SA is the talk of the country, and we have 11 more exciting episodes to look forward to in the next three months. To spice things up a little, we have launched two competitions, the first being a prediction of who will win MasterChef SA in episode 18.
We are also running a weekly lucky draw for the correct prediction of who our readers think will be booted out of the MasterChef SA every week. For the prediction of who will leave MasterChef SA tomorrow evening (8 May), 
The Franschhoek Kitchen at Holden Manz has generously offered a voucher for their super Sunday tapas lunch, with a bottle of Holden Manz Rosé to share. New Chef Cheyne Morrisby will prepare amazing tapas dishes, which could include Beef Tataki with Asian salad and wasabi mayonnaise; Prawns and pea risotto; Seared duck, honey soy reduction, and watermelon; Pork belly and pea puree with mange tout tempura; Chilli salt squid and ponzu mayonnaise; Linefish with cucumber noodles and soy sauce; Lamb and sushi rice balls rolled in sesame; and Chocolate brownie with berries, and a unique garlic and caramel sauce.
Tweet your prediction of who of the 13 finalists will be booted out of MasterChef SA in episode 8 on 8 May to @WhaleCottage, or e-mail it to whalecot@iafrica.com. Closing time for entries is 8 May at 19h30, at the start of episode 8. The winner will be contacted immediately after the show ends. There will be a weekly Restaurant Voucher prize draw per episode for the correct prediction of who will be booted out of MasterChef South Africa, and voting for the following episode can start as soon as that day’s episode has been aired. If no correct entry is received, the prizes go back into another weekly draw.
POSTSCRIPT 8/5: We have a first correct winner of the MasterChef SA competition, in that Chef Joanne Clegg correctly predicted that Babalwa Baartman would be eliminated in episode 8 this evening. The judges sent Brandon Law home as well, a surprise, given that only one Finalist has been eliminated in all but one episode to date. Joanne owns The Food Crew in Cape Town, and has been a private chef on yachts in the Mediterranean, and in private homes in Cape Town. She passed her City and Guilds Professional Chefs diploma with distinction.
