At PILOT, we like our food. Food is one of life’s purest pleasures. We enjoy eating out, eating at home, we love to cook and we have a weakness for Food TV, especially Reality TV involving Chefs. Anything with Gordon Ramsey, Marco Pierre White or Heston Blumenthal is a must record on the MySky machine (if you don’t have MySky, you need it, trust us). We love a bit of Iron Chef, Nigella is always so soothing and last year’s MasterChef Australia
was a revelation. It was a massive ratings hit in Australia (and NZ) and so now we have a local version, Masterchef New Zealand. It follows the same basic format as the Australian series, except the NZ version is done on a much smaller budget. Our pick for the eventual winner is Rob Trathen. That’s him in the photo above. We know Rob. He’s an Auckland photographer and we’ve worked with him, some years in the past, yes, but it’s great to know one of the contestants, especially as Rob has already emerged as one of around 4 serious contenders out of 12. So from PILOT, good luck to you Rob, we’ll be watching, and don’t take any stick from Simon Gault…
