Unilever’s Knorr competition contestants enter next round

Knorr’s quest for Nigeria’s best cook is becoming extremely keen as the number of contestants has been reduced to 12.  The 12 contestants went shopping at the Shoprite store in Ikeja where they picked up ingredients for their task.

The task for this episode was for the 12 to come up with a three course meal and re-invent the chocolate mousse as a desert in one hour. The judges;  Robert and Chef Fregz started with training the  contestants on exactly how to prepare a chocolate mousse using the ingredients they were given in their last task. The key ingredients for the starter were ugwu leaves and goat meat while for the main course was beef, pork and egusi.

At the end of the task, Balogun Samson and Onisarotu Olatunji proved themselves to be crème of the crop as they emerged winners of the day’s task. The judges and guest judge, Omobola Koya, who has several years of experience in the hospitality business, were particularly impressed with their tasty meals and presentation. They were rewarded with Ten thousand naira each by the Knorr brand.

The journey for Ugochi and Idahosa ended as their dishes and presentation was far below the quality required in a Master Class. The judges unanimously agreed that they get evicted from the competition.

The ‘Masterclass” is getting tougher and the next episode promises to be more challenging, educative, interesting ,  exhilarating and we may even see more contestants evicted. Knorr Taste Quest season 3 is proudly supported by Total gas, reputed for affordable and safe cooking gas as well  Shoprite, Nigeria’s leading  one stop shop for food and household items  at the lowest possible prices.
