[@treehousegardenKimberly]

Thank you Derrick; these are soo fun to watch! I appreciate the name upgrade from Squeaky Kimberly to Sweet Kimberly. I love it! I was sad to see Daniela go, but as you pointed out, she is a beautiful person who shines as an example of resilience and perseverance. Rock on! 🤩

Derrick, your assessment of Gordon’s cooking skills is spot on. You say he’s an alien 👽 I say he is a 🥷 ninja in the kitchen. I’ve never seen such a perfect cook in my life all the way down to how he wipes his knife! It’s like watching a stunning ballet! He is Remarkably talented and hands down the best Chef I’ve ever known! I have so much respect for him it’s crazy. Now I have to agree with you, he’s an alien 👾 😮 love your Recaps.

Love your recaps. Sometimes you point out things that I missed or something that must go on behind the scenes. Great. General questions: I always wonder about the delays between cooking and tasting. So much of the food must be cold by then. When do they do the glamour shots? Clearly TV magic happens where things get moved on or off set or cleaned up etc. That must be additional delay.

MasterChef US season 6 episode 15. 19/August/2015. Coffee mystery box challenge. The cooking time is 60 minutes and the contestants must cook dessert. There is Cristina Tosi (a great pastry chef. A great huge source of inspiration and knowledge). MasterChef Australia season 14 episode 21. Monday, 16 May 2022. Coffee mystery box challenge. The contestants cooking in a semi-indoor garden. The cooking time is 75 minutes. MasterChef Canada season 5 episode 2. 10/April/2018. Coffee mystery box challenge. The cooking time is 60 minutes. MasterChef Australia season 16 episode 33. Sunday, 16/June/2024. Coffee elimination challenge. The contestants cooking in the MasterChef Australia kitchen with Adriano Zumbo as a guest judge and guest mentor. . The cooking time is 75 minutes. Darrsh, Gillian, and Josh P performances are much better because of the presence of Adriano Zumbo and gained more knowledge. Adriano Zumbo is a great pastry chef and a dessert master season 1 contestants (dessert master MasterChef Australia season 1 / 2023) MasterChef US season 14 episode 13. Wednesday, 28/August/2024. Coffee cooking challenge. The cooking time is 45 minutes. Massive reduction of the MasterChef US quality of the show. The food quality is also reduced because the cooking time is 45 minutes. I feel bad for the 3 people who were assigned coffee. It is really hard cooking a coffee dessert in 45 minutes. I believe the dessert master season contestants from MasterChef Australia will have a lot of problems too, if they were assigned with a similar situation. Well at least we saw Gordon Ramsay's demo before the challenge to inspire the contestants. But for me coffee is too familiar for the contestants. But what is ridiculous is the cooking demo is for the main course (not a dessert). A good dessert dish is something really hard to produce in 45 minutes. Gordon Ramsay should have given the dessert cooking demo in 35 minutes. 35 minutes because he is a professional chef and already knows "the challenge is about cooking a coffee dish" before the cooking demo. The contestants have no idea when they entered the kitchen that today's challenge is "cooking a coffee dish in 45 minutes" It is more appropriate if Gordon Ramsay gives the cooking demo for the inspiration in the "cooking with beer challenge" because beer is not as famous as coffee. And at least the MasterChef US season 14 staff and crew production team set the challenge which follow the recent trending food which is coffee. (Adam, Becca, and Rebbecaa. Adam and Rebecca landed in the bottom 3. Luckily they are not going home. Adam and Rebecca are reaching the final 6 restaurant take over challenge based on the spoiler in episode 1). It is crazy since the beer challenge the cooking regular cooking time is 45 minutes (not 60 minutes) I was agreed with Derrick as in my previous comments. In the previous seasons the contestants in the desert day challenge. The cake / the dessert dishes that the contestants have to make / the replicate are much more difficult that this season 14. The season 14 challenge is only "baked us (the judges) a regular birthday cake". The next episode will be even more stupid because 2 people will be going home. Really stupid episode. Is this MasterChef US season 14 really serious of giving the contestants growth and learning experience in the MasterChef US kitchen!?!?!? 35:54. " It needed 10 more minutes". In my heart I said something like this. " You are (the judges), the one who cut off the cooking time for 15 minutes. That is resulting in Adam's bad dish".

Derrick - Becca is probably Morman, they don't consume coffee or alcohol.

[@Nick-uh3jx]

Do they get simple recipes for team challenges?

[@PhucTr_218]

45 minutes was too short, it is diabolical to force someone make a dessert in such time frame.

And they can't have tea either. There were a lot of Mormons at the beginning- 5 that I know of. Two made the top 40.
