We've arrived into BIG week with a giant mystery box taking over the MasterChef Australia kitchen!

In this episode we delve into the minutiae of ice cream sandwiches, savour the ideas of twists on Snickers and melktart and lament some of the pasta approaches (in this, the season of pasta, it seems! MAKE IT STOP!) We love the bigger is better approach to this week's mystery box and, of course, we give our Smash and Pass to a pair of dishes each and we tell you what WE would have made with the choice of ingredients.

Warning: Spoilers ahead –– this a post-broadcast reaction podcast so we will be discussing details of broadcasted episodes, including guests, challenges, wins and eliminations.

This is the home of GastroGays' MasterChef Australia content, coinciding with the UK/Ireland broadcast this August for the next couple of months. We are watching the series as it broadcasts in the UK & Ireland on "W", weeknights at 7pm.
