“I am not very serene” : a complicated week for Steven (Top Chef 2025)
This week, Steven, of the brigade of Hélène Darroze, encounters a lot of difficulties during the tests. The first, proposed by Heston Bluelyhal, asks them to make a dish as surprisingly visually as tastefully. For Steven, this is quite complicated because “The spectacular is not my kitchen“. Stress therefore seized him when he was preparing his dish “Fire with buttocks”. “”I’m not very serene“ he confides. It is Claudio who was winning this first test with his plate “The cycle of life in 3 minutes chrono”. But for Steven, the tasting did not go very well. The Bluelyhal chief reproached his dish for having too much salt and acidity. And he saw the relationship between staging and recipe.
More The second test can allow him to catch up. The theme is around chocolate. candidates must cook for Sébastien Vauxion a “Unpublished chocolate dish”. But again, the test is not made for Steven, who explains to his head: “I don’t like pastry”. Faced with candidates, Noémie. The young woman has no brigade and will not be tasted by the chief. His plate will be put in competition with the one that the latter has not selected. The chef Vauxion will therefore taste the plates of the four remaining candidates. The three selected are Quentin, with “Aubergine chocolate”Sean for his “chocolate square”, and Esteban with his “Hot, hot, chocolate”. So it’s Steven’s dish, “Make white cabbage” who finds himself in competition with that of Noémie. Faced with this last chance, it is the cook of Hélène Darroze who wins and who remains in the adventure Top chef.
“I didn’t want to come back at all” : a complicated return for Noémie in Hidden brigades of Top chef
While the young woman had just been eliminated from the competition Top chefproduction called him to tell him about the parallel competition Hidden brigades. By learning this news, she was perplexed: “When I was told that there was Hidden brigadesI didn’t want to come back at all. Because the experience was very complicated, I couldn’t at all manage the tests, the pressure, the chiefs, etc..”. But despite that, she still joined the adventure. This week, the three candidates compete around the “salty charteruse”. A dish that requires a lot of techniques. For Kilian, from the Eric Fréchon brigade, this is a false departure. The young man wishes to offer François-Régis Gaudry a ballotine. Which is out of theme for his chief. Kilian is caught. For Ilane, this is the same problem. He has the aesthetic side, but there are too many elements in his dish for Fabien Ferré, his brigade chief. The two candidates therefore find themselves having to rethink their recipe. For Noémie, it’s not easy either. The shape is good, but everything may fall asleep. During the tasting, all the dishes were reworked. The Kilian plate is not very beautiful, but it is very balanced in taste. Ilane, meanwhile, still has too many flavors, which disrupts the chiefs and the culinary critic. And for Noémie, the Kumquat is too present, and its Jerusalem artichoke, not cooked enough. After a complex deliberation, it is Noémie who permanently leaves the kitchens of Top Chef 2025.
