Eliav Sasson

In the last episode of "MasterChef," the contestants prepared dishes inspired by something everyone has at home: leftovers. And yet, the judges couldn't believe the surprising ingredient Gal Kaspers used - and the Moroccan fish dumpling dish that threw Eliav Sasson back into memories. All recipes here.

Today, Eliav Sasson is a sought-after and successful wedding dress designer, as well as a talented cook who impresses the judges of "MasterChef" with every dish. But as a child, he had to deal with long periods where money was scarce and the economic situation was challenging. Tonight, he shares how the hardships of his childhood taught him to appreciate food and what drove him forward: "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.

In the 'MasterChef' kitchen there is always an atmosphere of competition, but between the pots and pans, surprisingly special friendships are also discovered. Azulay revealed a connection going back years with Eliav Sasson, a contestant this season and a successful dress designer. "He reached out to me, an amazing dress came out, and we became friends," she said.

Even in his second round on the cooking reality show, Eliav Sasson manages to stand out and receive many compliments from the judges. While preparing the next dish for them, the cook shared his desire to become a father and the challenging journey he is going through alongside his partner on the way to parenthood: "I need the prayers of the entire nation of Israel."

The contestants on "MasterChef: Dream Team" received a surprising challenge, and were asked to get into the head of Chef Eyal Shani and prepare a dish inspired by him. Eliav shone with an elegant execution, Bar prepared a dish that, according to the judges, was on the verge of perfection – and Eden brought a twist with a comforting soup. These are the recipes.

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.
