What will the winner of 20,000 euros give?

His “silver week”. Masterchefwith the most difficult and demanding tests so far, ended with the winner of 20,0000 euros and the 9th place in the competition.

He was judged by a Michelin-starred dish and previous service in top restaurants in Greece, France, Bilbao, Florence and San Francisco, Pavlos Kyriakis.

It was presented under two bells. One had the main course (milk veal, mushroom sauce, hare grass, parmesan foam and on top it had celery root with black truffle). The second bell had the side (Espuma lagohorto, with black truffle ice cream).

For the record, espuma is foam in Spanish. An example of espuma is meringue.

Chef Kyriakis warned that the contestants must be precise with all the times, as they were asked to do a lot of cooking (preparations) “and you should definitely follow your taste. There is no salt in the recipe».

Christina came from a barrage of cooking, while Nikos had two days off. It remained to be seen whether rest would count more than pace.

After the proceedings began, Lefteris sat with Christina’s friends, Mario and Angel above Christina and not above Nikos, about whom he expressed his displeasure a day earlier.

He explained that he does not support his team leader (the team result made Nikos the first Silver Award finalist) “before explaining what happened (between the friends in the gray brigade), Christos had stated that he is more romantic and that he is upset with the developments. I get upset too, but from a certain point on I become tougher.

That’s why I didn’t sit on top of Nikos. I hardened inside. For me, it’s not worth going to talk to Nikos right now. Nikos must come and talk to me. It’s not that I hold a grudge, but I’m up to here.

I was disappointed by Nikos and I am very upset because they said that once we get to this point in Masterchef, friendships will ‘break’. I’m sorry I can’t refute those who told us this».

By the way, as Kostas said, Nikos is friends with Yannos, winner of the Silver Award in 2022.

When it came time for the crunch, the creator of the dish that Christina and Nikos copied told them that both attempts would pass “something I don’t say often. My team trains really hard to make it and you made it in an hour and a half. Congratulations”.

Nikos commented that “this is the prize”. It was not. It was 20,000 euros and a place of 9. The particular player had said a day earlier that he can make the particular amount from his work and for that he was comfortable and not stressed. On the day of the final, he confessed that he was stressed and anxious.

In the end, the winner was Christina (she was rated 9 from everyone, while Nikos got 8/10 from everyone) who needed time to understand what she had achieved. First he said “do not believe. I’m in shock. I didn’t think I would win at the beginning of the week. I’m very happy. I am very excited».

The Cypriot contestant, who has won another €3,000 in mystery box and creativity prizes, dedicated her win to her nieces and later appeared to be coming to terms with her victory. “I feel like it’s a reward, not monetary, but for my effort these months and for what I gave up to come here».

She vowed to make good on her promise to buy a mixer from her teammates in the gray brigade (with whom she reached the final of the Silver Award) and Mario who did not leave her alone for a second during the trials.

Angel commented on cue that “she is the only woman in this year’s competition and she ‘cleaned’ us all“, as was also the case with the favorites for the title of Masterchef.

“Knives will talk”

The Holy Monday trailer informs that the Holy Week will start on Masterchef with what we have all been waiting for: a fasting dish. At the end of the test, the first candidate to leave will ‘come out’.

Also, it seems that Nikos resigns as leader of the gray brigade and chooses Christos as his replacement. Lefteris, meanwhile, warns that “knives will talk from the beginning of the week».
