Guinea fowl with Madeira and clementines wasn’t enough to see the KM Group’s Morag Welham through to the next stage of MasterChef.

Morag, the KM Group’s business manager based at our head office at Larkfield, was one of six contestant’s feature in Thursday night’s cookery show.

Her French rustic style got her through the invention test, which gave her the chance to test her skills during lunch-time service at a top London restaurant.

But her two-course choice of guinea fowl with Madeira and clementines and spices on wilted spinach with crushed new potatoes, followed by steamed sponge pudding with ginger, creme anglaise and rhubarb wasn’t enough to impress judges John Torode and Gregg Wallace.

While they praised her technical skill, they felt she was putting too many ingredients on her plate.

“It was hell on legs,” said Morag.
