The first MasterChef show I watched was Junior MasterChef Australia. Then I watched all five seasons of MasterChef (U.S. version) and MasterChef Junior (U.S. version). Now I am following MasterChef Australia.
I find this food show very interesting. Not only do I learn some techniques to cook, I also expand my food vocabulary and my understanding of the cultures of different countries.
Most of the contestants have a day job but they all share one thing in common: the passion for food. Some of them entered the competition so that they could move to the food industry. Moreover, there were occasions where distinguished cooks take eliminated contestants under their wings. I find this very inspiring. It is such a nurturing environment for the contestants to learn and grow and become something. I believe people can have more than one passion and skill sets. You can be a lawyer but also a good cook. You can be a tax accountant but also a good artist. I don't understand why it is so hard for the people in Hong Kong to accept any career change.
To career-changers: may the force be with you!
