A chef who works on superyachts for a living said he felt "wounded" after failing to make it through to the quarter finals of MasterChef: The Professionals. Mathew Griffiths, from Wrexham, was among four chefs hoping to impress judges Marcus Wareing, Gregg Wallace and new judge Anna Haugh. But, despite showing his skills, some issues with his dessert led to one of the judges calling it a "no-no".
The latest season is in full swing, with the fifteenth season having kicked off on November 2. Over the course of six weeks, 32 chefs from across the UK will battle it out to be named MasterChef: The Professionals 2022 Champion. This year, Matthew Griffiths is one of two Welsh hopefuls appearing on the show.
The 32-year-old has worked in restaurants in Spain for 14 years and relocated to north Wales where he worked as a private chef aboard superyachts. Speaking about his love of cooking, Matthew said: “I’m passionate about cooking and working as a chef because of the environment. I absolutely love it and cannot get enough of cooking at a very high level and making my customers and guests happy.”
