15 Times Gordon Ramsay Actually LIKED THE FOOD! (Part 2)

What is not a common interest in many children's lives is cooking, let alone being

part

of a cooking competition and being criticized by Gordon Ramsay himself! The chef has a reputation for being a harsh critic. But anyway, some kids on Masterchef simply have a knack for the culinary arts: they pull out and cook dishes that many adults wouldn't dare make! That's why we've rounded up a bunch of moments where these little chefs really impressed Gordon Ramsay with their culinary skills. Quani Cupcake For the Mystery Box Challenge, the Masterchef Junior children had a difficult task. They had to make a delicious dish with canned goods!

So, in addition to the difficulty of cooking a large dish, they had to prepare a meal from scratch, with the ingredients they found in those cans. Quani decided to make a vanilla cupcake, with pineapple filling and peach-cherry frosting. Quite a task to accomplish in just under an hour, especially with a big advantage on the line. But Quani's boldness paid off and he was the first to step forward and have the judges evaluate his dish. Quani was very happy about that. We'll have to agree on this, as always. They looked incredible. The frosting looked great. Quani used cherries, peaches and juices for a little more flavor.

Gordon took a bite and loved it! Chef Ramsay was impressed by the level of finesse displayed by Quani. To finish, Quani even gave Gordon a high five! But before we continue, show us your gratitude!

Evan's Pumpkin and Sweet Potato Ravioli During the same canned goods challenge, Evan wanted to cook something close to his heritage, since he was

Italian, and also redeem himself. During the last challenge, he lost his ravioli. Now it was time for some redemption.

When the judges called him, Evan was ecstatic. This was the first time he was in the top 3. It sure looked appetizing. First, Evan received criticism from Joe. He said the ravioli looked authentic – a huge compliment coming from him! Overall, it was a fairly complex dish. After some rave reviews from Joe, it was time for the big leagues. Gordon was next. First, Chef Ramsay wanted to know about the pasta-making process. Then, he took a bite. Since Evan didn't have the best track record during the competition so far, Gordon was really impressed. Filet Mignon spread with Beni cocoa For this challenge, the Masterchef Junior competitors had to work with chocolate.

And they had a lot of chocolate to work with. A lot of chocolate. There was a lot at stake, considering that the winner would have a guaranteed ticket to the semifinals. The little chef opted for a tasty meal. Beni certainly didn't mince words. He said that he wanted to do something that would please the adults, meaning the judges. When time ran out, Beni seemed confident. She was also called first, which was a good sign. The little chef was happy with the look of the dish. Beni handed the plate to Gordon. It looked better than most of those fancy meals you can find on Instagram!

Beni wanted the steak to be medium rare. Even Joe came in and took a closer look. When he tried it he also provoked a strong reaction in Gordon. Olivia's Cocoa-Dipped Steak For the same chocolate challenge, Olivia decided to take a chance. She went the salty route. She was going to make a New York strip spread with brown sugar and chocolate. Not bad for a 10 year old! While she was preparing the dish, things were not going well for Olivia. In fact, she was struggling quite a bit. Unfortunately, that seemed to put the boy on a downward spiral.

It was somewhat heartbreaking to see the young, petite chef struggling to cook the meat with such little time. Olivia was racing against the clock to get everything done. Even Olivia herself admitted that she was starting to break down. Who could blame her? With so much at stake... and without a fillet. Christina went to guide Olivia, who seemed to be on the verge of tears. The moment of truth came when she was summoned by the judges. Olivia said she wasn't sure if the steak would be cooked properly. It looked beautiful. Quani Quani's Flourless Cake was pretty sure about the chocolate challenge.

And the challenge gave him the opportunity to cook with chocolate. Is there anything better than chocolate? With that, she fully believed that she could impress the judges once again. After all, the golden apron was at stake. When she presented the dish to Gordon, the chef

liked

the look of it. Basically, the little chef wanted to flex a little. Shows off his skills, you know? As it should, since the cake was quite delicious. Everything seemed perfect! Quani also nailed the garnish, and the mix of white chocolate and dark chocolate was excellent. Sammy's Skillet Steak For the mystery box challenge, kids had 45 minutes to create a dish inspired by their family.

A difficult task for such a short time. Sammy was preparing a seared steak with parmesan polenta, fried brussels sprouts, and a compound butter. Maybe that's why Sammy was so successful with this dish: having to cater to two wildly different tastes at home. Sammy was in the top three. Sammy was delighted to be the first to be called. She was also happy that her family was also proud of her dish. She really did it - it was exquisitely served and everything looked absolutely delicious! The sprouts were fried, which is a great way to make something more delicious.

Sammy expertly used the polenta to bring it all together. Gordon said that if Sammy could keep up this pace, she would become a serious threat in the competition. Should be a good confidence boost. And no wonder he left Sammy quite happy. Remy and Anthony's Dish Remy and Anthony were both part of a team, chosen by Sammy. This could be complicated, since Remy was a self-proclaimed bossy person. And Anthony didn't seem to want to be bossed around much. The challenge? There was a lot going on and it was quite complex, as Gordon explained. Just as he said he would, Remy shouted many orders towards Anthony.

They were constantly at odds, especially about the egg rolls. Gordon noticed that the team was going a little slow. The worst part is that Chef Ramsay criticized the egg rolls! Fortunately, after some suggestions from Gordon, the team seemed to fit better. Anthony managed to find his voice and work well together with Remy, much to Joe's surprise. When it came time for criticism, they were called first. They were quite nervous because of their rough start. Fortunately, they succeeded. He loved the colors! The duck was beautifully glazed. Antonio was anxious about the potstickers, because he thought they would burn.

While the egg rolls remained a point of contention, this duo did a great job overall. Remy's Donuts As always, the kids had a tough challenge ahead of them. For this mystery box, the kids had to make desserts without using processed sugar. Remy decided to make two different types of donuts. To give the dish an even healthier touch, he baked the donuts himself, he didn't even fry them! It was so impressive that he made the top 3! She was excited and really wanted to win. She made some donuts with matcha glaze and toasted coconut chocolate ganache. As well as with baked donuts.

Remy said she wanted to make donuts that were almost like cakes. After a bit of suspense... Then, it was time for Gordon's critique. Chef Ramsay said they looked impressive. Gordon really loved it, he even called it innovative! Ramsay said many bakers, including Cristina, would probably be inspired by Remy's recipe. What more could he want her? That's a pretty big accomplishment for people of any age group. Being only 12 years old is much more impressive for Remy. That's why Remy even won the challenge! María's Puff Pastry For the same challenge, María decided to make a puff pastry.

She decided to use coconut as an alternative to processed sugar. With this she placed in the top three, despite being one of the youngest chefs in the competition. Maria made a puff pastry plum tart with coconut drink! All in all, she really looked great. Maria said she was an avid reader of cookbooks, including Gordon's own books! Gordon was impressed that, in addition to the cakes, Maria even managed to have a drink. She had coconut juice, a little plum and a little cinnamon stick at the bottom. Gordon was also impressed with the seasoning! María added a little melted salt, pepper and a little bit of spice.

It was truly impressive – such a bold combination of flavours. Overall, it was a great job, especially for someone who was only 8 years old. She was cooking like a young pastry chef! Tilly Ramsay's Burger Cooking is a great activity that can bring families together. For many people, the meals their families cooked as children are among the best they have ever eaten. Imagine how lucky Gordon's family must be, with the famous chef cooking just for them. And the apple doesn't fall that far from the tree. After all, one of Gordon's sons seems to be following in his footsteps.

It's Tilly Ramsay. At just 15 years old, she already has her own cooking show and cookbook. Gordon criticizing his

food

since she was very little was probably a double-edged sword. She was learning from the best, but Gordon probably wasn't any easier just because she was his daughter. Now, Tilly seems to be aiming for the throne. During an episode of Masterchef Junior, Ramsay's young daughter appeared with her famous burger recipe. There's no denying that she looked quite delicious. Tilly also showed the little chefs how to recreate the full burger, which would also be her challenge of the night.

Her process was quite meticulous, accompanied by perfectly made fries. With some pesto aioli, mushrooms and a mozzarella cheeseburger, Tilly's burger left everyone quite hungry. Gordon, of course, had to take a closer look. He cut the burger in half... You can hear how proud Gordon was of his daughter. Mikey's Burger After Tilly's impressive demonstration, the little chefs had to recreate the dish in just under 45 minutes. During the process, Mikey already seemed to be doing a good job. After all, Mikey had plenty of experience cooking burgers at home. Maybe that's why Mikey was the first to be called.

Not that there's anything wrong with a regular cheeseburger! But Mikey was sure he had replicated the burger perfectly. From the outside, he looked really beautiful, just like Gordon said. In fact, he said it a couple of

times

. When he cut a slice, the burger was perfectly pink in the middle and the cheese was oozing out as well. Both Gordon and Tilly were really impressed. Which must be a great feeling: impressing not just one Ramsay, but two Ramsays at the same time! Mikey's fries were also very well done. Mikey, of course, seemed very happy with the result.

Evan's Burger Mikey wasn't the only one who did a great job recreating Tilly's burger. Evan felt pretty confident that he was doing very well, as he said during the preparation of the burger. Since he was from San Diego, Evan was used to eating a big burger, both at home and in restaurants. So things were not easy. When they called him in for criticism, Evan seemed to be in a good place. Both Gordon and Tilly noted that the burger was juicy – ​​a great first sign! The moment of truth arrived: time to see how the burger was made.

Evan was worried and wondered if things would work out. You could see how happy Evan was to receive that compliment. The bun was also toasted very well and the mushrooms were also cooked beautifully. Gordon took a bite. Quite a big mouthful, we might add. The seasoning was on point, the pesto with the mayonnaise too. The French fries? Evan listened to the criticism and removed it to make it more uniform! The only problem? When the only problem with your plate was that there wasn't any more, that's a big problem to have. Ayla and Jimmy's Sushi Boat Ayla and Jimmy had to create an entire sushi boat in just under 60 minutes.

It is not an easy task at all. But they were pretty sure they had made it. Joe called them to give his critique. From the appearance perspective, the sushi boat looked amazing. He complimented them both, saying it looked like it came straight from a restaurant, not made by an 11- and 12-year-old. When Gordon went to give the critique of him, he wanted to know one thing... It seemed true, given that the two seemed to work together. Jimmy seemed to be holding back his enthusiasm. After all, who wouldn't be excited? Beni's Steak For the first mystery box challenge of season 6, the chefs had 26 ingredients to work with: a to z.

A for asiago, b for bacon, c for chocolate, etc. The judges wanted to see the chefs on a plate and they had one hour to do it. The competition was great and it was not going to be easy to stand out. But Beni felt great. This was close to home for Beni, as he was inspired by his grandfather, who always cooked steak for big family events. During the criticism, Beni was the second to becalled. From the beginning, she received a great series of praises. Beni really wanted to be called and she fulfilled her wish! Beni was smiling from ear to ear.

She was very happy to be in the top 3, and that Beni showed that she really knew how to cook a steak properly. During her review…she praised the searing of the steak. It was shiny, pink and incredibly juicy. Gordon said the meat was amazing! A great compliment from Chef Ramsay! Avery's Unique Burger Tasting From the beginning, Avery looked like she was going to get a big review from Gordon. After all, the chef asked him to describe "that delicious burger." For the burger she used pork and venison. Avery explained that venison was a lean meat that would pair well with the fatty nature of pork.

Gordon even called the little boy smart for creating such a cool combination. Chef Ramsay asked where Avery was going with meat. Avery wanted the meat to be red in the middle. Avery even let out a big sigh of relief. Then Gordon took a bite. Chef Ramsay also loved the coleslaw and fries. All in all, everything seemed to work very well together. He also looked great, as you can see in the camera lovingly showing the plate. Would you like to prepare any of these dishes yourself? Let us know in the comments!
