Let’s cook!
As soon as it began, the participants already had to face the Mystery Box and cook with very few ingredients, a test in which Manu Baqueiro, Lorena Castell and Xavier Deltell stood out.
The outdoor test was in Segovia and consisted of making a four-course menu for 100 guests, designed by chefs Álvaro Castellanos and Iván Morales. The contestants were divided into teams, led by Manu and Ruth, and each one had to cook two dishes from the menu (starter and first course, second course and dessert).
The judges highlighted Lorena’s good work in this test and the entire blue team was saved from expulsion. This ended up leading to one of the first fights of the edition, between Lorraine and Normawhich put his leadership into question.
However, the tensions were offset by Xavier Deltell’s unexpected marriage proposal to María Zurita. “Love has already sprung up, so fast” joked Samantha and Xavier has spared no showmanship, kneeling before the king’s cousin.
