The “Master Chef” competition is a stressful event in itself, but when a seasoned chef like Israel Aharoni tells you that maybe your dish is too simple – it’s another level of stress. When Miri Ezra told the judge what she was preparing, he gave her advice that left her lost: “It stresses me out. I panicked”

The audition phase is over, the five-fight has begun and without a doubt the stress level of the contestants in “Master Chef” (new episode tonight, after the news, Keshet 12) is increasing. While working on their dishes for the all-in-one-pot task, the judges circulated among the contestants to hear what they were up to. Chef Israel Aharoni who was arrested at Miri Ezra’s, told her a sentence that managed to stress her to the point of panic.
In accordance with the task instructions, Ezra told Aharoni about her dish when he came over: “I’m making pasta rosa in one pot. I wanted to make the pastas stuffed, I was looking for a thick pasta to fill it and then put it in the sauce, so that it cooks together and softens.”
Aharoni, who testifies to himself more than once that he is looking for a high level and originality in cooking, did not spare the contestant his opinion. “The task here is not only to make a dish in one pot, but to make a bomb dish that will get you into the team. You have a competition here, there are 30 people and we choose 15. Don’t stress from what I tell you, on the contrary. Take a breath, you have another hour, it’s full Time. You’re a great cook, with a lot of tradition – shoot me,” the judge suggested to her, and Ezra replied in response: “It stresses me out. I panicked.”
