Don't worry, we won't be doing this every week now; one A heavily tattooed Swiss reality show called “The Bachelor” would be more than enough, but of course I gave myself a head start and you wonder how shocking and effortless the Swiss cooking master's cooking skills can be.
Hundreds of amateur chefs from all over Switzerland had applied, said host Nik Hartmann, who looked extremely serious, as if he wanted to say to the remaining 16 chefs: Guys, don't let me down. You are not cooking for my dog here! People wanted to see the large numbers of people leaving but failed. Maybe with fried eggs, aromatic crunch and peanut butter foam?

The 16 selected contestants were given 40 minutes to taste their “signature dishes.” Therefore, what they are best at eating is sleeping, with their hands tied behind their backs, stirring wooden spoons only with their mouths, and playing piano sonatas with their feet.
That's why we had spaghetti carbonara twice. One time it was mashed potatoes with a vegan mince sauce. This dish is like a car accident where two carrots crashed into each other. “It actually looks like we're in jail, it looks like we're in jail,” said juror Nenad Mlinarevic.

What are the strange bright blue spots adorning another candidate's smoked carrots? Pure Smurf? Mlinarevich said that if he eats with his eyes closed, it doesn't matter, the candidate will go further. He raved about the “porous structure of carrots,” and perhaps that was only a very slight assumption, coming from a more privileged background. He loves star-rated cuisine and even liked to go to star-rated restaurants with his family “when he was a teenager”.

Mlinarevich's co-juror Elif Oskan told one candidate not to be so upset because she was a woman after all: “Hello, I will give birth to my baby safely and soon.” ! ” So, let’s get started with the daunting challenge of making carbonara!
Bonus question: What happens if you try to grate Parmesan cheese on the smooth interior of a high-tech grater? Exactly: nothing! Anyway, one candidate tried this and ended up complaining about a broken grater. Another prize question: How can I make the water in the pot boil faster? Covered or uncovered? It's hard to answer. How can you cook pasta for only as long as it takes? “The timer is off!” (Mlinarevich) Or not?
To be fair, we have to say that this recipe from Winterthur Landscape Gardeners tastes fantastic: Asian-style stir-fried cauliflower. Has the winner been announced here yet?Picture: CH Media
A young artistic director brings a not unattractive and unmistakably delicious variety to her plate. “I think I'm more of a country chuchi type,” she says, “sloppy bush kitchen with a colonial history.” What do we mean by “landchuchi” today. Something with something and a “colonial past.” Where is PCness when the time comes? Just “random,” the candidate said, and that's all. But: She has talent.

Men who work in high society do what they always do on work and cooking shows: perform. He cooks “scallops, coffee vanilla salt, marinated crust, smoked paprika mayonnaise, yuzu pearls and passion fruit air.” The jury could only taste the beetroot pickle water. But: a lot of work was accomplished in such a short time.
The tattoo artist's extensive tattoos are also reflected on his skin, and he also looks like Swiss Paul Mescal, but that doesn't help, after all this is about the innermost values, about one's insides and back. Once again he had to leave. Swiss Paul Mescal had to go because firstly, his pasta was overcooked (“Timer schtelle!”) and secondly, his sauce (bolognese) was nothing.

However, my favorite was the amazing service expert from Basel, she instantly made you want to sit at the lunch table, even though she used so many aromatics, she didn't even notice because she had to be so engrossed in her work . bacon. “Everything is better with Schpägg” is their motto, and even Nik Hartmann's dog can't argue with that. Sparger said.
Masterchef Switzerland airs every Tuesday at 8:15pm on 3+.

The first thing you have to do is get this Eggs and Pecorino (or Parmesan) from the refrigerator. No one wants hot pasta chilled to lukewarm blandness with ice-cold eggs and cheese.
Meanwhile: Bring a large pot of pasta water to a boil. (Obviously, you have to add salt.)

Switzerland will receive new banknotes in a few years. The Swiss National Bank (SNB) is launching a competition to design a new series of banknotes themed around “Switzerland and its high altitudes.” There should be no changes in the color and common denominations of banknotes.
“We don't think new banknotes will be issued until the early 2030s at the earliest,” Martin Schlegel, the new president of the Swiss National Bank, told the media on Wednesday. Even in the age of payment apps and bank cards, the use of cash still plays an important role in Switzerland. Schlegel said he is also looking forward to the new results.
