Masterchef viewers were puzzled by contestant Vanessa D’Souza's eclectic meal after the show returned to our TV screens. The challenge during Tuesday's (April 11) episode saw the competing chefs create dishes inspired by their favourite TV cooks, with the anti-piracy manager presenting the judges with a very unique chocolate, mushroom and blueberry pasta combination.
Inspired by fusion chef Ixta Belfrage, the unlikely mix of ingredients received varied feedback from the panel, but viewers criticised it as a "step too far", as reported by the Mail Online. Greg Wallace told the budding chef she had been "very daring with your ingredients" while John Torode described the dish as "really clever".
Viewers were put off by the unorthodox food, sharing their confusion on social media. "Blueberry and chocolate and mushrooms in pasta?" one viewer posted to Twitter.
