Cooking Show

The heat in the "MasterChef" kitchen reached the judges' table this time as Eyal Shani and Yuval Ben Neria argued over the dishes served to them. Shani did not connect with the twist in the dish served by contestant Haim Cohen - and Ben Neria did not like it: "Eyal arrived with an opinion because he had already commented to you."

There are eliminations, and then there are eliminations. We haven't seen one like the one in the last episode of "MasterChef" in a long time, as the judge struggled to accept the elimination of Nissim Zlayet, once again before the decisive stages. "When you are in reserve duty and working shifts all day, you lose the fire in your eyes. Thank you for bringing it back to me," Zlayet said in...

Tair Mordoch finished her second round on "MasterChef" in the exact same place as her first. Despite her impressive growth, she shared that she felt she had much more to show and reflected on what she would have done differently.

With six contestants remaining in the cooking competition, every dish becomes critical. Following a challenging task involving canned goods, Tair Murdoch has left the kitchen: "I finished in sixth place in the previous season as well. Apparently, there is a curse on me with this number."

The battle for a spot in the next stage of "MasterChef" has stepped up, and the contestants were required to draw inspiration from the Ansky family's famous herring sandwich. The competition was close, and this is who was eliminated at its conclusion: "I need a spa day after all this."

The pairing of Jackie Azulay and Eliav Sasson in the latest task on "MasterChef" ignited a fire in the kitchen even before they chose what to cook. The two struggled to reach joint decisions throughout the task, which caused a dispute. Later, after the episode aired, Sasson set things straight and calmed the situation: "It worked less well, but it doesn't mean anything."

The judges and contestants were stunned when two of the season's frontrunners stood side by side in a particularly difficult elimination round. Following a challenging Ethiopian-themed task, Jackie Azulay was eliminated from the competition. "I remembered you said that you are gentle, and tears came to my eyes," Eyal Shani said in farewell.

The moment of saying goodbye to contestants in a cooking competition is never easy, but this time judge Michal Ansky found it particularly difficult. Following a challenge featuring outstanding dishes, Bar Levi was eliminated, though he received a promising offer from chef Yuval Ben Neria.

The pressure in the "MasterChef" kitchen takes its toll - and after a task that paid tribute to Ruthie Broudo, the third contestant to be eliminated from the competition was determined. "I didn't want to be eliminated first. Third is fine," she laughed just before saying goodbye.

"Dream Team" brought back some of the most beloved contestants who have ever stepped into the "MasterChef" kitchen, and it seems they have quickly gotten back into the swing of things. At the end of a tense elimination challenge where they were asked to cook inspired by Eyal Shani's fish pasta, this is who ended their journey in the competition.

Aviva Pivko, a veteran contestant from the first season of MasterChef, returns to the kitchen for the new "Dream Team" season. With her signature competitiveness and confidence, she aims to win while showing viewers that she is not as intimidating as she appears.

The cooking show returned to the screen about a week ago, and alongside wonderful cooks and appetizing dishes, the dramatic elimination moments also returned. At the end of an elimination task where contestants were asked to cook the dish they absolutely had to have the judges taste before they left, we got the first contestant to leave the competition.

None of the former contestants who arrived at "MasterChef: Dream Team" want to be the first to go home, so the first elimination challenge of the season is the most stressful of all. Tonight, while Eliav Sasson works on the dish he hopes will keep him in the competition, he takes the opportunity to throw a jab at judges Avi Biton and Yuval Ben Neria.

13 years after becoming one of the most identified contestants with "MasterChef", Jackie Azulay returns to the kitchen to complete what she didn't succeed at then. In an interview with +12, she talks about the fear of criticism after years of hearing only compliments, explains why she has nothing to lose, and clarifies that no contestant scares her: "If my 'life' in the competition depends on...

The "Dream Team" season of "MasterChef" on Keshet 12 is underway, featuring the most prominent and beloved contestants from all previous seasons. They are returning to compete for the title.
