MasterChef 2014 Recap: Week 10 – For Love and Truffles

Not that the home cooks on MasterChef 2014 aren’t under enough pressure, but they will face even more of it with Gordon Ramsay’s wife joining them in the kitchen tonight for a romantic dinner on Master Chef 2014! Couples will be filling up the restaurant, as the home cooks face another team challenge and even more drama that comes with it on MasterChef Season 5. Which home cooks will face the Pressure Test? Watch it with us during our MasterChef 2014 Recap and see who went home on MasterChef 2014 tonight!

Last week on MasterChef 2014 Season 5, the home cooks took on a Mystery Box Challenge that had them cooking salmon. We had a new winner, as Christian took home the victory and got to choose which judges’ basket of ingredients the other cooks would be using. He chose Joe Bastianich’s basket, which contained a lot of wine! He also gave Courtney a disadvantage of only having 30 minutes to cook, unlike the 60 minutes everyone else got. It backfired, as she made a good dish and was safe. However, we saw Elise and Cutter in the bottom two and Cutter survived elimination again, as Elise was sent home.

Here we go…

TEAM CHALLENGE: The home cooks meet the judges and tell them they won’t be going anywhere, but the guests will be coming to them. The them is “Love” and they’ll have 17 couples come in and cook for them an entree and dessert for the special occasion.

Blue Team: Elizabeth, Francis, Jaimee, Victoria, Courtney and Daniel

Red Team: Ahran, Willie, Christine, Christian, Leslie and Cutter

They have 60 minutes to prep their entree and then an hour after their entree goes out they will send out their dessert. The teams meet and discuss what they are making tonight on Master Chef 2014. The Red Team is making a lobster risotto and Ahran rocks at desserts, so I think they could do well. Blue Team is making a filet, so steak is always a good thing. The restaurant is open and the diners are heading in. The diners are all in place, but one more table needs to be filled: for Chef Ramsay and his wife!

The time is running out and Victoria checks the steak and they are almost rare and she is freaking out! The time runs out and the dishes are going out and Victoria is worried about the steaks being too rare. Chef Ramsay and his wife seem to enjoy the dishes, but the steak is a little too rare for her liking. The diners are eating and the home cooks are working on their desserts. The Red Team is struggling big time and Cutter is getting impatient and they are all freaking out. Time runs out and the desserts are heading out. They think that the Red Team’s dessert looks messy, but the chocolate is good and no raspberry taste. More flavor from the Blue Team, but too much cream. We have a proposal in the restaurant and she said yes, but duh! Now the diners get their ballots and will vote for their favorite dishes.

RESULTS: The diners have all voted and with 75% of the votes, the Blue Team has won and the Red Team faces the Pressure Test!

PRESSURE TEST: All of the home cooks will be competing in the Pressure Test tonight. The home cooks will make a box of nine, high-end chocolate truffles! They need to be visually appealing, as well as appealing to their palettes. Of course, we hear Cutter complain about not being a dessert guy! They must have three different kind of truffles in their box.

The judges are going around and they say Cutter is most likely to go home with this challenge, but he is trying to prove. Ahran has some nerves and the judges think she has lost her confidence. This is the fourth straight Pressure Test for Leslie! Christine has eight minutes and no truffles ready! Time runs out and truffles are in the boxes!

TASTING:

• Cutter – Graham said they are visually a 10! All the home cooks are surprised he made these! He said it is perfectly balanced and he could not have done it any better.Joe said great flavor and good job. Chef Ramsay jokes that they look clumsy! He said they have great texture and he made a box of chocolates at a professional level.
• Christian – Graham said it is a good flavor, but maybe done them a little differently.
• Willie – Chef Ramsay asks why so heavy handed with the sprinkles and he spoils the chocolate. Best flavor of the chocolate, but he dressed them too much.
• Ahran – Joe said it is very rich and not bad, but a little dense. It could be lighter.
• Leslie – Chef Ramsay opens the box and says wow, but I don’t think it is a good wow! He said they are supposed to be romantic, but they look like they were molded from his armpits! He likes the white chocolate, but the shell is too much and it is a box of chocolates you need to eat in the dark. Graham said good flavor on the inside, but they look really bad.
• Christine – Joe asked why she did not make them round and they are super bitter. Chef Ramsay said bitter and what a shame.

RESULTS: Joe admits that Cutter proved him wrong tonight and Chef Ramsay said it was the shock of the season and he is safe. Willie, Ahran and Christian were tripped up, but two people fell much harder than them tonight and they are safe. That means Christine and Leslie are in the bottom two tonight on MasterChef 2014. It is purely about adding drama to the season, as Christine has been quiet all season long and the judges send her home! Leslie is safe, yet again!
