    Sorry to see you leave Masterchef! I’ve been watching from the US, and you are my favorite. The rest of the series won’t be the same without you. Do you have any interest in doing television? I definately think you could get your own show. The world needs more of that smile! Good luck on all of your future endeavours!

    Dani,

    I live in Halifax Nova Scotia, Canada. I have been a long time fan of the MCA series. You made this season extra special and it warmed my heart to see you each and every episode. You inspire me not only in my own culinary aspirations but also about the kind of person I want to be.
    Best of luck with all for future endeavors. Keep smiling 🙂

    Hello Dani,
    What a breath of fresh air you were in the show. Congratulation on your success and reaching the final four. That was absolutely fantastic. As the saying goes, you do wear your heart on your sleeve but the emotion you show is very genuine. When the tears appear your usually smiling and laughing. But what about that smile. That would melt the toughest of critic. For the others in the house, if they woke feeling down they only need to look at your smile and it’s infectousnness. I had tears running down my cheeks last night watching your elimination and your arrival home.
    Congratulations again on a magnificent performance.

    Very best of wishes
    Richard Woolford

    Hi Dani, Website looks gorgeous!
    Just want you to know there are plenty of people who loved your MC experience, I don’t understand the negative attitude towards you from some of the viewers.

    To me you were the last bright spark there, the last bit of vibrancy and energy. I love your optimistic positive outlook, and I loved your imaginative cooking.

    I have hated every elimination since Billy – Hayden, Ellie, you – all the cheery, bubbly, fun people are gone ( I loved Peter and Kumar too, they seemed so sweet).

    Don’t let the negative people get to you, your too much fun for that.
    (Oh and what is your heritage, just curious as I’m part Chinese)

  43. August 3, 2011 at 12:49 pm #

    Hiii Danni just wanted to say you have a supporter all the way from Las Vegas Nevada you keep following your dream you and all the finalist grew to make me love Masterchef Australia its 5000 times better then Masterchef US but you guys inspired me to apply for it next year. I hope to one day visit your Asian food store and I wish you all the best.

    Hey dani, well done to you. We barely missed an episode of Masterchef and honestly dont envy you or any of the other contestants, or for that matter, the judges. We are all not bad cooks in our house, and we have all become a little competitive over the last few months..ha ha. Anyhoo, I just wanted to say Hi, well done,and ignore all those so-and-so’s who sit on their bums doing nothing with their lives and knocking everything they see. I hope this experience has been the springboard you hope for. All the best…

    Dani – your effervescent personality, good looks and infectious laughter made you irresistable to watch. Anyone who says otherwise is just jealous and pushing their own (uninformed, I would suggest!) agenda. You rock girlfriend – I hope your Asian Grocery Store makes you millions 🙂

    August 4, 2011 at 12:04 am #

    Dani, So you’re opening an Asian store for shy white people aye? I noticed in your discussion today on the papers website that you’d be opening an asian store where people “can ask about ingredients” You do realise that the owners of 99% of them are approachable and knowledgable dont you?
    Also its like in your head no one but budding home cooks like yourself read recipes at home and go out to target specific ingredients without needing any help anyway.
    I loved your comment about being so out of touch with the home cook, when thats all you
    are yourself, like somehow appearing on masterchef elevated you to celebrity chef status

  66. jehanzeb
    August 4, 2011 at 6:30 am #

    it was sad to see you leave the master chef kitchen ,,, and i think i am one in a million who think the exact same thing… as far as i think there are better things waiting for you… and i will be on the look out for you asian store and will be a blast.
    good luck and enjoy cooking …

    Dani, I loved your ways of cooking in MC. I enjoyed the way you cooked the Sri Lankan dish when his Holiness Dalai Lama came to MC. Why are you more interested to have a Asian food shop rather than other types of shops? Wish you all the best to your future.

    • danivenn
      August 5, 2011 at 11:44 am #

      I love Asian cooking, especially Vietnamese, Thai and Sri Lankan. I love the diversity in the flavours, cooking methods and I think the best food in the world comes from Asia.

    Love your bubbly nature and wonderful positive outlook on life! Anyone who said your personality was too big, needs to open their mind and accept the wonderful nature you have!! Good luck in all your cooking ventures. I know I will be keeping an eye on your blog. Im from Melbourne too and will be watching out for any recommendations for foodie outlets you have! 🙂

    Hi Dani, am constantly amazed at the dishes you and your fellow MC contestants were able to produce within the time constraints. That alone sets you way above us mere mortal home cooks. I was particularly curious to know your roti recipe. The rotis looked great and were judged well. If we weren’t already in love with you then those curries with roti sealed the deal. All recipes I’ve seen require the dough to rest overnight at least. Will you be putting your recipe up anytime?

    • danivenn
      August 5, 2011 at 11:43 am #

      I am glad you liked the Sri Lankan curry. The rotis that I made I only rested for about 2 hours in the challenge, but I would usually rest them for maybe 3 or 4. But in saying that, they turned out really well with only 2 hours resting. I will put up this recipe soon for you to try! Thanks.

    Hi Danii, sorry if I spelt your name wrong. I was watching you all the way on masterchef and I know you cook better than the girl with long black hair. You should of concentrated on your three dishes and cooked what you’ ve known setting it to how you grew up, and be more organised sorry to say, then you could of made it to the top three.

    I had faith in you, I would know you would be the no. 1 masterchef, I hope you the best. You cook way better than those other three wish you could of think on your feet quicker oh wells.

    Hi Dani, just wondering if I can get your puff pastry recipe from the day you made Vanilla slice for your mum? I’m heading overseas soon to a country where there is no puff pastry, and it is very much a staple in my freezer, so I’d love a quick, simple way of making it!

You are such a bright light! your opinions are what the positive people need to keep them going. You make me proud to be one of those people also with heart on sleeve, adventurous, happy, funloving! Masterchef could have been called “Dani’s food adventures” for us we loved when they worked and also when not. I really hope you stay in the media – love to hear more from you!

    Hi Dani,
    My daughter (11 years old) and I loved watching you on MC….you’re wonderful! We live in Kangaroo Ground and it would be so great to see your asian food store in the local area, hoping that’s in your plans!

    Best of luck with everything Dani! Don’t listen to the destructive critics – they’re always out there, but you need only listen to those who have jumped the hoops themselves to make it to Masterchef Top 4…!! Noone who hasn’t been there fully understands the demands and pressures of making the show… Be very proud of your achievements!!

      Hi Dani
      You are such a lovely bubbly person to watch, I absolutely love Masterchef & have always wanted to try out but never had the confidence to do it, well done, you are an inspiration & so funny to watch especially when you get in a situation & just crack up laughing, like in the tag team challenge with Nigella Lawson. I would sit there every night & yell at the TV, go Dani, go! I told my partner if Dani gets eliminated I couldn’t bare to watch the show anymore, it just wouldn’t be the same, he reckons I had a girl crush, LOL. Anyway I wish you all the best & all the people out there that have awful things to say, didn’t your mother ever teach you if you don’t have anything nice to say then don’t say anything at all. Would love to meet you one day & if you ever have a cooking show, I will be the first to watch!!

    You are my favorite contestant along with hayden.. I love your positivity and cheerfulness. So dissapointed when you’re eliminated. But i know you’ll have great future in culinary world!

    Eventhough we all in India know that this is a repeat telecast of what was aired in Australia, there is a massive following for this show. Especially to ya!

    Like your habit of raising to the occasion! And yeah, the smile! 🙂

    Hellllooooo Dani,

    My two biggest role models are you and Adelle! I wanted to cry when you left! I have watched the whole series from to start to end and yet you opened a new door to me….

    Can an 11 year old, who doesnt know how to cook, compete with other people? Tell me Dani who inspires you!
