Time of semifinals in Messintavola. RTP’s show cooking comes alive, after the repechage episode of last week who saw the success of the journalist Floriana Riso. With his tomato pasta he beat the competition and conquered the possibility of continuing his path in the cuisine of the Court of the Mari, where the program takes place.
Now, as mentioned the first of the three semifinals that will be broadcast on Tuesday evening at 9 pm on RTP (replies on the same day at 11.10 pm, on Wednesday at 11 and 16 and Saturday at 9 pm) under the careful directives of Chef Paolo Romeo.
The dish protagonist of the episode will be the squid, an ingredient that has many possibilities but also many risks. Three semifinalists. Elvira Sofia has always had a passion for cooking, home and with a great desire to amaze. He won with Pesserpada on his debut, now the second exam. Those of exams won is meant is Salvatore Laganà, 52 years old. At the first he placed the record dish: 100 and … praise for him, the highest score ever recorded in Messintavola. He presents himself with the favors of the prediction, who knows if he manages to confirm them. To close the circle Liliana Tomasello: her victory with the egg has arrived on the wool thread and not with an excellent test, but has a lot of character and prepares for the “battle” in the kitchen.
To taste and comment on the proposals, as always, the technical jury, composed of Salvatore De Maria, in the double role of judge and conductor alongside Valeria Zingale; Alberto Palella, president of Confesercenti and creator of Messina Street Food Fest; Will be Gugliotta, president of Associbo. To them will be added Professor Nico Cicero of Unime (Biomorf Department), Antonella Ruggeri owner of the “Court of the Mari”, Dino Cardile della Cardileforni and Alessandra Strazzeri chef & patron “Quattro Calici” in Messina.
“We entered the decisive phase of the program – comments Salvatore De Maria – with the first of the three semifinals who will decide the finalists and then then the successor of Roberto Antonuccio, winner of the first edition. The squid can offer many ideas, but competitors must be very good because the risks are there. But it is also true that it is time to demonstrate that they deserve the passage of the round: whoever wants to win now must come out the talent and character because there will be no second calls ».
Also this year the winner will cook next to the chefs at Messina Street Food Fest, scheduled from 16 to 19 October.
