Master chef caused such a stir that guests on the show were inundated with requests for their services.
People flocked to their restaurant, and the famous desert chef, Adriano Zumbo became the flavour of the year with his recipes hitting all show viewers directly in the stomach.

Stress - Cooking up the relief

http://www.articlesbase.com/health-articles/stress-cooking-up-the-relief-531905.html

There is something incredibly relaxing about sauting onions, grilling chicken, or barbecuing pork. You can become mesmerized by the scent of your culinary sensations. The process of stirring, chopping, or slicing can be highly therapeutic. You can feel a sense of accomplishment at the end of a good meal which can further reduce your stress level.

Master Chef has taken the world by storm.
The show took the public behind the scenes of a chefs life in the kitchen and encouraged the public to spend more time making good food, regardless of their level of skill.
Cooking is generally thought as too hard and too much effort, but Master Chef showed that the end result is far more rewarding and satisfying than any take-away meal that is on offer.
From watching the show, we are able to gain more perspective of what exactly is involved on cooking; the stress, the creativity, intuition, the time and skill.
