MasterChef 11 Tonight: Innovation Meets Tradition Across International Cuisines

Tonight at 22:05 on La 1 TVE presents a tense new episode of Masterchef 11. The episode puts contestants under pressure from the very first moment as they step out of their comfort zones. In the opening challenge, three mysterious boxes hold a mix of ingredients drawn from traditional Spanish, Italian, and Chinese cuisines. To illustrate that avant-garde cooking often rests on unexpected uses of familiar foods, three culinary authorities Dani Garcia, Andrea Tumbarello, and Jose Maria Kao are invited as guest mentors. The task is to craft a surprising dish using ingredients from one of the boxes in an innovative way. The avant-garde dishes are judged by the panel, and four contenders from the tenth edition — David, Adrian, Patricia, and Teresa — must demonstrate mastery. Those who fail to meet the challenge with strong performance face the qualifying round. The episode concludes with the black aprons replicating a dessert created by Samantha Vallejo-Nagera. In addition, the singer Ruth Lorenzo stops by the studio kitchens for a guest appearance.
