What happens in today’s episodes
The competitors are dealing with the first “real” Mystery Box of the season, dedicated to one of the most classic Italian snacks: bread and salami. The judges want to lead the Masterclass to reflect on the concept of “explosion of flavours”, inventing something simple which then opens up surprising worlds.
The evening will then take the sea as a common thread: for the Invention Test the Masterclass will have to work with creativity taking as a basis the cuisine of the Tyrrhenian Sea and that of the Adriatic Sea, which compete for those who have the most particular and tasty ideas and recipes ; followed by the first outdoor test of the season in Messina, where the amateur chefs will have to divide themselves into two brigades for the first time, the red and the blue, to cook for 40 swimmers who have chosen to celebrate the 70th anniversary of the first swimming crossing of the Strait of Messina. A heroic and tiring experience that the 40 will repeat before sitting at the table and tasting the most classic dishes of the Messina tradition prepared by the aspiring MasterChefs: their evaluations will lead to the first Pressure Test, during which the losing team will have to wear the black apron.
