The top 6 of ‘MasterChef Ecuador’ has been defined: Sonnia could not convince the jury with the flavors of her country and left the program

A new elimination challenge Chapter 73 of the fourth season of Master Chef Ecuadorbroadcast by the channel Teleamazon. Six of the seven chefs had to come up with creations based on different types of salt, but one of the participants also had an advantage.

In the first phase of the program, the chefs _with the exception of Henry_ participated in a challenge to prepare emborrajados (ripe lampreados) in 15 minutes maximum. Alexandra was the first to finish; “The key is that the cheese is runny, that it’s heated and melted,” he noted.

The chefs were pleased with Alexandra’s preparation and immediately declared her the winner and she agreed to an advantage for the elimination challenge: get help from one of the judges.

In the second phase of this chapter, the cooks had to use different types of salt to prepare their dishes. Sea salt, smoked, black, flakes and salt crystals were the basisthough they didn’t have to use them all at once, they had to be part of the dishes, not just to flavor them.

They were given 45 minutes and the pantry was open for this challenge. While Alexandra chose Chef Carolina Sánchez to help her for five minutes.

The dishes they prepared were:

After deliberating the jury, Sonnia, Johanna and Jamil went forward, although the latter also later went to the balcony, where they were already Victoria, Raúl and Alexandra, as well as Henry.

“Your dish did not highlight the ingredient to be marked, which was salt. And that’s a pity, because I’ve seen a very big change in you, Sonnia,” Chef Carolina told her. “You should be very proud, because you made the top 7 of mastervhex, now you can become a master chef” she added.

“My dear Sonnia, one thing is clear to me, and that is that you are going to be one of the most famous teachers in Ecuador, and that is very fulfilling, but also a great responsibility. Take advantage of that fame in the right way, it can help change many people’s worldJudge Jorge Rausch told him.

While Judge Irene González noted, “I do believe you’re going to be a child gastronomy teacher. I’m going to see it there, on the networks. I wish you good luck, Sonnia; follow the path your heart tells you”.

Sonnia was very emotional and thanked the judges, while Johanna, Jamil, Raúl and Henry came down from the balcony to say goodbye to her. While Alexandra and Victoria watched her alone from their posts.

“I’ve had the best experience of my life. chef, thank you for opening the doors for me, thank you for all the knowledge taught to me, i learned so much. And to my colleagues, thank you for this beautiful friendship, I will always remember you, “said the now former participant in the gastronomic program.
