With great culinary challenges, incredible showcases, a trip to Walt Disney Studios and visits from Mar\u00eda Pombo and Isabel Aai\u00fan.<\/p>\n
It’s time for the youngest members of the household to show on MasterChef Junior 11<\/em> that age is not an obstacle to mastering the kitchen. Sophie, Marcos, Nikole, Candela, Leo, Luc\u00eda, Nacho, Daniela, Nico, Valentina, Marce, Martina, Paco, Constancia, Fernando, and Ana will experience the greatest adventure of their lives as contestants on the culinary talent show, produced by RTVE in collaboration with Shine Iberia, which returns with plenty of laughter, excitement, and cooking.<\/p>\n Among the participants in this edition, there will be a Cuban eager to open his own restaurant, a young girl from Toledo who is so comfortable in the kitchen that she considers herself an “outstanding cook,” a Valencian aspiring to be a property registrar, a nine-year-old cook who has participated in several musicals, a fan of Ana Mena from M\u00e1laga, and a 10-year-old boy who traveled to France to meet his favorite pastry chef, C\u00e9dric Grolet.<\/p>\n Teamwork, effort, and passion for cooking will be essential. The jury, composed of Pepe Rodr\u00edguez, Samantha Vallejo-N\u00e1gera, and Jordi Cruz, will evaluate the contestants, who will accumulate points. At the end of each episode, the ones with the lowest scores will be eliminated. The winner will receive the show’s trophy, 12,000 euros for training, a four-day cooking course at the Basque Culinary Center, and, thanks to the program’s sponsor, a BBVA training scholarship.<\/p>\n This Tuesday, the Torrespa\u00f1a building hosted the press conference for the eleventh edition of MasterChef Junior<\/em>. Mar\u00eda Eizaguirre, RTVE’s Director of Communication and Participation, presented the event: \u201cIt already smells like Christmas. This press conference is the starting shot. The magic and excitement of MasterChef<\/em> always bring back great memories.\u201d<\/p>\n Ana Mar\u00eda Bordas, RTVE’s Director of Originals, explained, \u201cThe goal is to help them develop culinary skills through games, allowing them to grow both in the kitchen and in life. It\u2019s a fun environment, where the judges play an important role as mentors.\u201d She also emphasized the “protective” environment around the kids: \u201cThey have a psychologist who assists them to ensure they feel in a very safe space. It\u2019s a fun show where they compete, but the most important thing is to have fun.\u201d<\/p>\n Macarena Rey, CEO of Shine Iberia, thanked RTVE for \u201ccontinuing to trust in the three editions of the talent show, which are all so different.\u201d \u201cThis one with children is like an extended summer camp. This year\u2019s casting is very special, spectacular; they are all so different.\u201d She also announced a new feature: \u201cThis year, they will receive, in addition to the usual prizes, a training scholarship thanks to one of our sponsors.\u201d<\/p>\n Pepe Rodr\u00edguez stated, \u201cAfter so many years, I enjoy every edition. In the kids\u2019 version, I have fun; we are parents, teachers…\u201d Samantha Vallejo-N\u00e1gera emphasized that they are still children, and \u201cit\u2019s amazing what they say and do.\u201d Jordi Cruz described the 16 contestants as \u201csmart boys and girls who are a delight.\u201d \u201cWe have a lot of fun and convey great information to the young ones,\u201d he concluded.<\/p>\n Some of the young chefs, like Valentina, who described her experience as \u201cunforgettable,\u201d attended the presentation. For Marce, \u201cIt\u2019s a very good experience to watch, especially for those who come from other countries and want to learn to cook.\u201d Sophie insisted, \u201cYou have to watch MasterChef<\/em> because it\u2019s super fun and there are really cool challenges.\u201d<\/p>\n The contestants will cook for influencer Mar\u00eda Pombo and attend a private concert by Isabel Aai\u00fan, the breakthrough artist with her song Potra Salvaje<\/em>. They will meet winners and participants from MasterChef<\/em>, MasterChef Junior<\/em>, and MasterChef Celebrity<\/em>, such as \u00c1ngela Gimeno, Loreto Riera, In\u00e9s Hernand, Marina Rivers, Tamara Falc\u00f3, Mario Vaquerizo, Lorena Castell, and Carmina Barrios. They will also receive advice from chefs like Dabiz Mu\u00f1oz, Pedro Subijana, Nandu Jubany, Dani Garc\u00eda, Roberto Ruiz, Carlos Maldonado, and \u00c1ngel Le\u00f3n.<\/p>\n The judges will challenge the contestants with all kinds of tasks. They will learn the secrets of rice, pay tribute to foods that came from the Americas, recreate chocolate toys, and work with uncommon ingredients like mangosteen, okra, and puffed lotus seeds. In one challenge, Lorena Castell will drive a train full of food through the kitchens, while the MasterChef Junior 10<\/em> contestants will distribute the ingredients as if they were part of the Three Kings Parade.<\/p>\n In outdoor challenges, they will cook at the Lasarte restaurant with Mart\u00edn Berasategui and his chef Paolo Casagrande, pay tribute to the medical team and patients at the Ni\u00f1o Jes\u00fas University Hospital, and discover the Avengers Campus at Walt Disney Studios.<\/p>\n Through games, the jury will try to raise awareness about the responsible consumption of seasonal foods and the importance of nutrition, sports, and healthy eating. They will participate in traditional games like hide and seek<\/em> or memorize color sequences. The studio\u2019s display will turn into fun and surprising scenarios: they will travel to the world of the Wizard of Oz, sail on a boat to fish for seafood, enter a spectacular maze, and be amazed at the Museum of Oddities.<\/p>\n MasterChef Celebrity<\/em> concluded its ninth season with 36.8 million impressions on Instagram and more than 12 million views on TikTok. Additionally, the hashtag #MCCelebrity reached the top position on X, generating over 16,000 comments per night.
