It was the highest stakes in the MasterChef kitchen yet and Aaron’s nerves hit boiling point, costing him his place in the top 10.

In tonight’s elimination challenge the contestants were put to the test by guest chef Nick Holloway from Nu Nu in Palm Cove.

In round one, the contestants competed in a classic taste test, naming the ingredients from an entrée, main and dessert from Nu Nu’s menu. Scott, Depinder, Aaron, Minoli and Pete had the lowest scores and were sent into round two where they had to cook a dish using only the 50 ingredients featured in Nick’s dishes.

Minoli cooked prawn, young coconut and pineapple soup, and Mel described it as a bowl of happiness.

Despite his nerves, Scott’s hibiscus flower pavlova roulade with peanut praline and barbecued pineapple impressed Jock.

Pete was proud of his curry ice cream and pineapple granita with coconut crumble, and the judges thought it was an exceptional dish.

The flaws in Aaron’s coconut fried prawns with lime mayonnaise were clearly the result of his nerves, and having plated up a dish that didn’t match up to his fellow contestants, Aaron was eliminated from the MasterChef kitchen.

After an emotional goodbye, the MasterChef Australia top 10 was confirmed as, Depinder, Elise, Justin, Kishwar, Linda, Minoli, Pete, Sabina, Scott and Tommy.

Born and raised in Adelaide, Aaron was a sporty kid and to this day, loves stand up paddle boarding, snowboarding and playing baseball.

With a preference for cooking savoury dishes but tasting something sweet, Aaron’s childhood was spent battling severe food allergies, limiting his experience and exposure to a variety of cuisines and dishes. After growing out of many of these allergies, he now relishes the opportunity to expand his horizons and palate.

Despite his late introduction to food and cooking, Aaron’s skills developed quickly as he embraced his new passion. He quickly turned to food idols including Heston Blumenthal, Jamie Oliver and MasterChef Australia judge Jock Zonfrillo, to enhance his knowledge of techniques and flavours.

Aaron’s favourite ingredients include native herbs and spices, duck and fennel, and he admits that he never fails to impress with his signature crispy skin pork belly.
Aaron dreams of creating a dinner party restaurant at home, similar to

Melbourne’s famed Enter Via Laundry. He’d love to open his own café serving food from a backyard garden, while teaching others and sharing his love of food.

MasterChef Australia Sunday to Thursday at 7.30pm on 10 and 10 Play On Demand.
