A Jewish chef from Manchester has been knocked out of the BBC’s MasterChef: The Professionals contest at the quarter-final stage.
Alex Dome failed to impress with his lemon and thyme marinated poussin with ravioli.
One of the judges, the Michelin star-winning chef Marcus Wareing, described his effort as “like a light English roast dinner meets Italian raviolis with spinach. It doesn’t work together.”
Mr Dome, son of Rabbi Colin Dome of Manchester, admitted: “I had loads of ideas running through my head but maybe it didn’t work as a whole,” adding: I should have tasted it all together when I was plating.”
