Comments Off on “Masterchef” Contestants Get Vegetarian Lessons From Yotam Ottolenghi
The contestants on BBC’s television cooking show Masterchef got a lesson in meatless cooking when famed chef Yotam Ottolenghi stepped into the kitchens on the set during an episode where all meat products were banned.
Ottolenghi studied Philosophy before going on to learn cooking at London’s Cordon Bleu, then became a pastry chef for several London restaurants. For four years his weekly food column in The Guardian‘s weekend Saturday magazine was called “The New Vegetarian.”
During a previous episode of the New Zealand version of Masterchef, the show’s lone vegetarian chef was sent packing. So having an all-vegetarian challenge on the UK series was the perfect revenge for perhaps what may have be a veg-unfriendly environment on Masterchef.
Was it a good Meatless Monday? Or Meatless Madness?
