Semi-finals are expected Hedvig Henrekson, Josephine Freij and Tess Medina in Sweden’s Master Chef 2024. It is important to perform in top class to be able to squeeze one of the two final places.
The first competition involves the participants cooking a dish where it is important that red wine really comes through. The second and last competition before it’s final day consists of bringing out umami in just the right balance.

As usual, there will be stress added to the end.
Josephine forgets to put everything on the plate and has no idea what the sauce tastes like, Tess is unsure if she will be able to get the first final place and Hedvig forgot to follow the task.
– I have missed tasting the wine together with the dish, I realize now, it was very stupid because that was the whole task, so I hope my intuition is right, says Hedvig.
Viewers rave about Sweden’s master chef
Hedvig has prepared a parsnip puree as a component of her main course. But it has Tom Sjöstedt strong opinions about.
– There are good things on this plate, the onions and tomatoes. Potato and parsnip puree, it’s good, but I would have liked to have more parsnip in it. Because when there is so little parsnip in it, it feels like mashed potatoes that are a little bad. It smells a bit like farts, notes Tom.

After the first part of the competition, it is Josephine who becomes the first person to go directly to the final. Then there remains a fight between Hedvig and Tess, to clinch the last final place.
– It’s so sick, so sick, says a happy Josephine.
The final competition is about cooking a main dish with umami in focus.
But first they meet in a duel where they have to identify 16 herbs in the “herb pyramid”. The winner gets a big advantage in the elimination competition. The one who takes the advantage is Tess and gets to choose the basket first, with ingredients for the dish they are going to cook.
TV4’s shock announcement about Sweden’s master chef: “Taking away”
Hedvig cooks a tonkatsu, which is a Japanese schnitzel, and Tess cooks a raw steak. According to the jury, they have both performed incredibly well, but one of them has performed a little better – and that is Tess.
Tess advances to the finals together with Josephine, and Hedvig unfortunately has to leave after making an incredible journey in the cooking show.
Congratulations and good luck in the final, we say to Tess and Josephine!
