masterchef italia 12 who won

Edward Francowon later an edition 24 episodes long, twelve weeks of programming that entertained and enthralled the public, alternating the emotions of the contestants with their recipes. All seasoned with the sympathy of the three judges who are increasingly close-knit and ready for witty jokes but also to reprimand the competitors when needed. Bruno Barbieri he is the veteran of the group, he has carved out the role of the “bad guy”; Antonino Cannavacciuolo mixes his natural sympathy with a deep knowledge of ingredients and cooking; George Locatelli he is the “lord”, elegant and sophisticated but ready to joke with others.

the Masterchef winner’s menu

The three judges were won over by the tasting menu of Edward Franco by title All world inspired by the title of the mural created by Keith Haring and reflected the wandering soul of the twenty-six-year-old winner, who lived around Europe between Edinburgh and Germany where he was a rider a few months before entering Masterchef. His menu consisted of an appetizer Medieval but not too much a sour beet stuffed with pigeon liver pâté, medieval concoction, buttermilk and fried leek, accompanied by beetroot and dill infusion. Next, the first Kebab ravioli, a reinterpretation of the kebab: a spiced lamb meatball inside a bundle of egg pasta served with apricot sauce and carrot leaves. The second course was Curried Scallops: the unusual union between scallops, sweet and delicate, and curry, spicy and fragrant, with the addition of coral mayonnaise and fried coriander. Finally the dessert, Wedding in white, a fake coconut mousse with liquorice and orange cream and passion fruit insert. In reality, the dessert was supposed to be different from the title Sweetly Punk with meringue and a chocolate sphere, but he failed to the point that he burst into tears in front of the judges. Yet for the three judges it was very good and perhaps it represented the convincing move for victory.
