My Kitchen Rules season 2 ended last night, and sisters Rox and Spoon won. The two were up against newly engaged couple Kim and Pashi. The season finale was filled with some nerve-wrecking moments as the two teams battled it out to make the best five-course gourmet meal.
The judging and scoring for each of the dishes were done by the show’s resident judges David Higgs and J’Something, as well as a panel of outside experts: celebrity chef Reza Mahammad, who is often referred to as “the spice prince” of The Food Network; editor of Fresh Living Justine Drake, who has her own cooking show, Just Cooking; chef, food stylist Zola Nene, one of the Bashers on Season 2 of M-Net’s Wedding Bashers, and a judge on The Great South African Bake-off; and South African filmmaker, chef and television personality Justin Bonello, who is best known for his cooking and travel show, Cooked.
In the nerve-wracking decider, the finalists had to create an appetiser, a soup, a pasta dish, a main meal and a dessert. Adding to the pressure of five courses, they were required to prepare 20 plates of each course for the grand finale, a monstrous challenge – 100 plates in all.
Rox and Spoon were initially the underdogs of the competition and they were surprised they won the competition.
'We are really happy about this and so grateful,' the sisters said. Both Rox and Spoon agree that the show made their relationship stronger. As to what they will do with the money? They have few things they want to do, on top of their list is getting their helper and friend Sindiswa a car.
'We would love to get Sindiswa a mode of transport. She is both our best friend and she works for our family, helps us cook and cleans up and most times stays till late. So we said to ourselves if we won the competition that's one of the first things we will do."
