In the final episode (Thursday, December 17) the winner of MasterChef: The Professionals 2020 was crowned.

In the final, only the best three chefs remained. Each one of them had something unique and special, and they had one last challenge in which to show it. They had three hours and 15 minutes to cook a starter, a main and a dessert that embody everything they are as a chef.

They had to put everything out there for the judges, demonstrating how much they have learnt and why they stand out above the rest.

Mistakes were not an option – under intense pressure, they had to remain cool, calm and collected to deliver three flawless plates of food. Only one of them could be crowned MasterChef: The Professionals champion 2020.
