culinary challenges
In the first outdoor test, the participants went to the Plaza Colón in Madrid to feed 240 diners (record number in the program). The menu to be made was based on traditional recipes of the capital and it was a great challenge for the contestants, especially for the captain of the red team, who was overcome by the complexity of the test, with the blue team winning.
The first elimination test consisted of performing a cooked with blood and it was closed with the expulsion of Berto.
In the second programme, which was attended by Juanma Castaño and Miki Nadal, the first test consisted of a cooked with pancetta which Maria Lo won.
The second test moved us to the spectacular landscapes of the Portuguese Algarvewhere I had to do a menu designed by Henrique Sá Pessoa for 100 guests. Luismi and Jokin were the captains of the red and blue teams respectively and, while the blue team worked like clockwork, the red team was much more spread out and ended up taking the black aprons.
For the elimination test, it was asked that replicate the dishes of three of the winners of previous editions of Masterchef. Verónica, who stood out in the previous test, had the privilege of assigning the dishes, with Giraldo corresponding to the reply of a sweet dish that meant her elimination. The decision was not surprising even among the members of her team who openly highlighted her lack of self-criticism.
Lion’s cousin eats shrimp
The third program opened with the challenge of improve the worst dishes and replicate the best in the history of Masterchef. The guest Silvia Abril assigned the dishes, corresponding to Luismi the replica of “Lion eats shrimp”, which she finally was not able to finish. The judges criticized his unprofessionalism and unbecoming attitude for a third show of a tenth season, earning him a straight black apron. His companions, however, could not contain their laughter at such a “creation”.
In the second outdoor test, an attempt was made to create a polar environment in Baqueira Beret for the first Eskimo cooked by Masterchef, holding a buffet for 120 nature lovers who fight against climate change. Chef Hideki Matsuhisa appointed Paula (red) and Patricia (blue) as captains, ending with the victory of the blue team against the disorganized management of the red team.
The elimination test came from the hand of the master chocolatier David Pallàs, in which they had to replicate different spheres of chocolatea task that gave more than one headache to the contestants.
chanellrepresentative of Spain this year in Eurovision, made a surprise visit before leaving for Turin, giving rise to one of the most remembered scenes: the happy face of Yannick, a recognized eurofan, upon receiving a double ticket from Chanel for the final gala in Turin.
After this, one of the most unexpected moments of this edition took place: in the final duel between Yannick and Claudia, the jury surprised everyone saving both contestantsas a reward for the excellent work done with the tiramisu spheres of this final test.
