The shock elimination of MasterChef favourite Marion Grasby caused an uproar, and people still tell her she was robbed!

"I still can't believe all the hysteria but I feel like I won anyway as I am doing all these things beyond my wildest dreams," the 28-year-old says.

First up, her gourmet Thai food range, Marion's Kitchen, hits shelves early 2011, and a cookbook will follow in July, three months after season two champ Adam Liaw releases his.

"There's no rivalry," she smiles. "I just got off the phone from him five minutes ago!"
