28-year-old Tracy Eboigbodin has emerged winner of the 11th Series of MasterChef Italia held in Rome on March 3, 2020.
The competition is an international culinary talent hunt show, which takes place in the UK, USA, Australia and other countries.
Tracy won the competition with a menu entitled L’abbraccio – the embrace, beating off stiff competition from two young male chefs, 18-year-old Carmine Gorrasi and Christian Passeri, a 20-year-old with Asperger syndrome.
The waiter speaking on her victory, said that her menu, L’abbraccio symbolises the union between loved ones.
In the words of Tracy Eboigbodin:
“The embrace is the fundamental symbol of the union between two different elements, distance ones, sometimes remote.
During my path at MasterChef I have learned to open up to what is unknown and accept what surrounds me without fear or prejudice and make it part of my cuisine in a positive way.
I wanted to translate how much this means to me in the four courses of this menu.”
The Nigerian-Italian received a the price of 100,000 euros in gold tokens and the right to publish a book of recipes.
