Loading ...'Masterchef' 2015 Top 20 features Dearborn native Amanda Saab
“Masterchef” 2015 returns tonight (8 p.m., Fox), and the Top 20 will get their first “mystery box” challenge.
Keep an eye out for Amanda Saab, a 25-year-old social worker from Seattle who is originally from Dearborn.
She survived last week’s Top 40, Season 6 debut to win an apron and move on tonight’s episode.
On her personal blog she wrote:
“I prepared a lamb kefta with jalapeno dusted potato and sumac aioli. In the 4 way battle, I was up against some great competitors! We only had 30 minutes to complete the whole dish and boy did it feel like only 5 minutes.
“And guess what?
“I WON AN APRON!”
The top-rated “Masterchef” is a competitive cooking reality TV show featuring chefs Gordon Ramsay, Graham Elliot and newcomer Christina Tosi. The winner will take home $250,000, a cookbook and trophy.
In an interview with ArabAmericanNew.com, Saab said she is excited to be sharing some of her recipes on national television.
“The type of food that I like to make is Mediterranean modern cuisine,” Saab said. “I take the traditional flavors I grew up with in my family and incorporate modern techniques. A fusion and blend of Arabic food and American food is definitely something I love to demonstrate.
