ICYMI: Masterchef Junior Recap for Where’s Walnuts

The first challenge is (WAL)NUTS! I am curious to see how they all incorporate this into their meals.
I never thought to use walnuts for thickening sauces or meat alternatives.
These kids are geniuses when it comes to coming up with walnut dish ideas….rack or lamb, Romasco, fried rice with a pineapple shrimp bowl…they all sound delicious.
My heart breaks for A’Dan because his dish fell apart completely.
So many of the dishes fell apart tonight. It makes me so sad. I just want to hug them all.
Liya’s pineapple/walnut shrimp and rice bowl looks incredible. It looks like it is restaurant quality.
Cruz’s walnut crumble may not have worked out as he wanted, but the judges love it!
Ciara’s walnut cake is gorgeous. I love the flower design.
Ciara wins the challenge and is automatically in the top ten.
Elimination challenge time! Season seven winner Che is on hand to help them and offer advice on how to flambe!
Each remaining contestant must flambe a dish.
I never heard of flambe-d shrimp scampi, but I would give it a try.
I almost died when Chef Gordon Ramsay told Liya Che was single. Her reaction was priceless.
Was A’Dan eating his food instead of plating?
Poor Liya crying about not finishing her dish made me so sad.
Starla’s honesty about why she didn’t make a starch was refreshing to see.
As an aside, I HATE when the judges call the kids young man or young lady. It just IRKS me for some reason.
My heart breaks for the bottom three. They seemed to miss the mark, but seeing them so sad makes me very sad too.
Andrew is eliminated. Chef Gordon Ramsay saying he will he first in line when he opens his bakery was such a sweet moment.
More next week, stay tuned.
