The December 17 the talent show of the kitchen returns to its tenth edition with the usual mission: to find thethe best amateur chef in Italy who will win 100 thousand euros in gold tokens and will be able to publish his own first recipe book.
The three judges confirmed

The selections between white apron and gray apron
In a first phase the judges evaluated the competitors through Zoom, then calling the best to show up for the Live Cooking. In this phase a novelty will be represented by one large pantry in which competitors will get lost looking for the ingredients necessary for the creation of their dishes.
For the first time who will be able to convince the judges unanimously will get the white apron with their own name and can directly access the Masterclass without having to pass further tests. Who, on the other hand, will earn two out of three approvals will conquer the gray apron which will give access to the challenges to play for the place in the class. In addition, Barbieri, Cannavacciuolo and Locatelli will have the opportunity, again this year, to bet on one candidate each signing a gray apron, allowing the competitor access to subsequent challenges.
