for cooking talent – so much so that the judges put four chefs through to the semi-final as they couldn’t decide on who to get rid of. The week kicked off with another belter of a skills test from Monica Galetti.
Finally, one of this week’s stand out chefs was Danny from Newcastle. The 24-year-old stated from the off that he can win Masterchef and his signature dish of poached and blow torched quail wowed the judges, so much so it was mentioned again and again. However this Geordie was not happy in the invention test – he’s used to the best ingredients and he openly admitted he hated that round.
