“MasterChef 4: who left the project one step before the final
A new issue of MasterChef. Professionals”-4. It’s the finish line! Episode 17 is the last push and an opportunity to dispel all doubts. The stakes were raised higher than ever, as the culinary level of not only the project but also Ukraine depended on the trials. What surprised the chefs and who left the reality show?
With gratitude to the Armed Forces of Ukraine and with a daily desire to be an emotional support to their unbreakable country, STB TV channel and Starlight Media Group continue to create Ukrainian creative product.
In the first test, the participants were divided into two teams. Ivan Ivanchuk and Anton Gilchuk became captains. The project was attended by distinguished guests – the official ambassador of Estonia to Ukraine and the charge d’affaires of the Turkish Embassy with colleagues. Estonia is the largest donor to Ukraine in terms of GDP. But the famous Turkish Bayraktar has already become an element of folklore. The task: to prepare 6 dishes, three for each delegation.
The teams served lamb kebabs, lard ice cream, mussels with red onions and cheese, baklava, stuffed squid, and more. The blue team won: Ivan, Artem and Sasha. The entire red team received black aprons.
“We are starting the last individual competition on our way to the final episode. For the last time, you have a choice: either make every effort to climb up to the balcony or end up in the black. The contest has a maximum level of difficulty. To cope with it is to prove that you are worthy of the final. The winner of the last contest receives a bonus. Let’s call it a “controlling stake”. These cards contain the names of allergens that visitors often encounter. Each participant has to prepare two dishes – a main course and a dessert. Ivan will identify three allergens each, which he will distribute to you,” the judges explained.
For example, Oleksiy had to make quiche lorraine and honey cake without using sesame, citrus, and lactose allergens. Artem was lucky enough to get a burger and strudel. Allergens were also not significant: alcohol, gelatin, and cocoa. So it was possible to find an alternative. Ivan chose satsivi and zacher for Eduard. The elements that had to be excluded from the dish were salt, chitin, and lupine. Ivan Ivanchuk was the worst performer. So he suddenly went to the battle of Black to prove that he was worthy of the final.
What distinguishes a professional from an amateur? The ability to correct your own mistakes! So, under the mystery boxes were the tasks that the participants had failed to complete. This is how Alexey was reminded of the contest with Supermoms when he failed to make a dish of buckwheat and liver. Anton was reminded that he was inventing too much. So it’s worth proving that he knows how to cook classics! Eduard had to integrate cottage cheese into a dessert and make a delicious sponge cake. Ivan had to complete a task from the previous competition: cook without using allergens. However, Edik did the worst. Therefore, in the 17th episode of 10.06.2023, Eduard Zazarenko left the MasterChef. Professionals”-4 left Eduard Lazarenko.
