In the absence of three programs to find out which applicant will be crowned as the brand new winner of ‘MasterChef 11’the gastronomic ‘talent’ of the 1 In his last installment, he lived the moment that most viewers had been waiting for the entire edition. 22 programs late, but finally the jury stopped shielding Luca Dazi, which with a culinary disaster impossible to camouflage was expelled. Quite a merit, considering that he almost slipped into the semifinal without preparing a single fried egg. After the departure of the ‘tiktoker’ they were in Alex, Ana, Eneko, Lluis, Pilu and Jotha.
With only six applicants in the competition, the contest returned to the small screen on the night of Monday, June 12. In the first gala of the week, before the semifinal, the most painful expulsion and the most tearful program of the season took place. Especially for Ana when she was at the gates of the long-awaited semifinal with her specialty, desserts.
‘MasterChef’ continues to squeeze the joys and sorrows of the contestants. The night started with excitement. Having taken stock of his time in ‘MasterChef’, the applicants received an energy shot receiving the visit of their relatives. They received words of encouragement and advice from their loved ones to be able to replicate a traditional dish from their respective families, while giving it an avant-garde touch with which to demonstrate the skills learned on their adventure in the contest.
Pilu presented a reinterpretation of his mother’s “9.5” red shrimp carpaccio. louis a mushroom ‘risotto’ with some very slight flaws, but “very well done”. eneko he sponsored the crying of the entire set with the visit of his wife and daughters and apart, he embroidered it with his fricandó being named the best of the test.
Ana it received good reviews for the taste and presentation of its beef with bamboo and mushrooms, although with a big ‘but’ for the final result, such as the lack of cooking. The same as the ‘arroz del pueblo’ of Alex; the youngest man cooked a dish with a lot of props, although delicious. By far the worst unemployed was Jotha, that he failed to improve his girl’s meatloaf.
A bittersweet expulsion
The verdict made semifinalists Pilu, louis and eneko on the spot and sent Ana, Alex and Jotha to elimination. For the Sevillian, it was her 17th time in the test. The Leonese also accumulated a lot of experience wearing the black apron, 16 eliminations. While they were on the tightrope, no one considered the hypothetical expulsion of the ‘winning horse’ from the audience.
To save themselves, the three applicants faced the challenge of sweetening life without adding calories by creating a delicious and healthy dessert without using sugars under the watchful eye of Jordi Roca. The other Jordi (Cruz)), put on his ‘jacket’ and taught them how to prepare a rich and nutritious dessert by substituting sugar for sweeteners, opening their minds to new options and putting their culinary ingenuity into practice.
In charge of eneko ran the cast of four types of sweeteners with varying degrees of difficulty. Each contestant had to introduce one in their preparation. The stevia was given to Alex ; the sucralose, to Ana. While Jotha, showing his kamikaze facet again, he asked to keep the most dodgy ingredient, miraculin, to show off for the jury: one was a finalist for ‘Master Chef Junior’ and cooking is in her blood and the other loves confectionery and has shown that she is very good at it.
Once again the DJ fell to his feet with his kamikaze contestant play: the ‘lemon pie’ he prepared was delicious according to the jury and it was a different kind of dessert. For his part, Alex He reaffirmed that he plays in another league. Its orange and chocolate filigree triumphed among chefs, assuring that it was a restaurant dessert.
whereupon, to Ana he was left with the worst possible scenario. The fritter she made seemed to the judges to be a flat candy. “For me it would be super bad,” she admitted when she found herself with one foot on the street. Minutes later, they announced his expulsion. A ‘horribilis’ day for the Andalusian. Leaving just before the semifinal and a type of kitchen that she supposedly mastered broke her schemes “on all sides.”
