The finalists, trained in the art of classical dining, struggled to work on his frequency. Which is entertainingly cartoonish, obviously – if he doesn't get his own show out of this, I'll be distraught – but it served an important role. At one point, during their two-day masterclass, he looked one of the finalists dead in the eye and said: "I want to eat your emotions." For pudding, he'll deliberately smash up a lemon tart and dump it in front of you.
There is a cod dish inspired by Thelonious Monk. One of his dishes is called Memory of a Sandwich. He was warm and expansive, almost to the point of being completely abstract. They're usually nasty little Napoleon types, aggressive, defensive and determined to convince you that cooking someone's tea is up there with bare-knuckle boxing in terms of brazen machismo.

That's when Adam, Steven and Scott travelled to Modena to work under Massimo Bottura, a man who is simultaneously the head chef at the world's third-best restaurant and an extended impression of Roberto Benigni's 1998 Oscars acceptance speech.īottura was the precise opposite of the professional chefs who usually frequent MasterChef. On Monday, the finalists were forced to create magic from a plate of leftovers – a nice touch, given their propensity to rely on gels and foams – but Tuesday's episode was something else entirely. Perhaps this is because it has been a genuinely exceptional week. Their differences were slight – Steven was ever so slightly unsure of himself and Tom, who left the show on Monday, had a weird sense of entitlement – and have only really revealed themselves this week. The final four were all white, dark-haired men in their mid-twenties. So who is going to win this year? Personally I'm finding it quite hard to pick, not least because this year's finalists have been almost completely homogenous.

Last night, the three remaining contestants – Adam, Steven and Scott – had to cook a full service on a swelteringly hot day for the 30 chefs most willing to appear on television alongside Gregg Wallace. In truth, MasterChef: The Professionals has already climaxed. If we're lucky, and this is by no means a given, someone might actually cook something. We'll listen to so much inspirational piano music that we'll think we've been put on hold by an insurance company. We'll look at old photos of them as children. Tonight we'll see where the contestants live. True, the series still has one episode to go, but that is just a victory lap. I f you're a regular viewer, you'll know that the final of MasterChef: The Professionals took place last night.
