“Masterchef 2020” – This is what you will spend the money on

Wednesday night was the scene of the final of “Masterchef”. It’s been ten weeks since Sandefjord’s delicate chef Truls Torp Karlsen (29) and Jevnaker’s flavor queen Silje Sandberg (31) first donned the apron.

There was great excitement for tonight’s final as both contestants have been very impressive during this year’s season. On assignment, they were tasked with making a three-course menu, which was given a total of two and a half hours to complete.

I grew up “under a rock”

For all three dishes, they were rewarded with points from the judges on a scale of one to ten.

Throughout the final, there was an even battle between Torp Karlsen and Sandberg, but in the end it was the former who could rejoice to be named ‘Masterchef 2020 of Norway’. However, it was only four points that separated him from Sandberg.

Moved to tears

It was a clearly excited Torp Karlsen who was finally able to come up and get his “Masterchef” trophy.

– It’s totally, completely crazy, he exclaimed on the television show after the victory.

Torp Karlsen won with his 84 points after serving fried scallops with apple, fennel and dill tapioca to start. Turbot with celery root and celery sprigs as a main dish and lemon curd with white chocolate, pumpkin, yogurt sorbet and meringue for dessert.

With the first place in “Masterchef” comes, however, not only with honor and glory, but also a cash prize of a total of 250,000 crowns, home appliances from Siemens to 100,000 and a full year of food consumption from Coop Mega.

Reveal the secrets of “MasterChef”

When Dagbladet strikes the Sandefjord thread, he doesn’t hide the fact that victory means an incredible deal.

– I think it can open many doors for me, it is also a confirmation that this is something I can. It feels good because this is something I want to develop, he says.

I made a plan for the prize money

It can also reveal that he didn’t have great nerves when he cocked in the final.

– That’s a little weird. Because since Silje and I were in the final, the nerves weren’t really there. I loved her victory and she loved me. Anyway, it was a victory, he continues.

This is how they spent the money

– What have you learned about yourself by participating in “Masterchef”?

– I feel like I have learned that it is important to be yourself from the beginning. Don’t be afraid to be who you are, but be honest with yourself. That is perhaps the most important thing that I take away from participation, he responds.

Then there’s this cash prize, and there are probably more who wonder what Torp Karlsen will spend the money on. You can reveal that you have already made a plan for that.

Receive a courtship letter after TV hit

– I said during the production that if I won I would buy a bunad. It will be a gift for me. Then I will use the money to eat good food, get a lot of inspiration and develop my dream, he adds.

However, you are not sure what you specifically want to do in the future, but you are honest that if you have the opportunity to work with food it would be a privilege.

– has extended a hand

Torp Karlsen, who often works as a civil engineer, launched the Instagram profile Finessekokken as a hobby and explains that he was eventually hired as a private chef for friends and acquaintances as a kind of weekend activity.

Now you want to develop your Instagram profile.

– I enjoy serving food to people, but the dream will be to combine it with making recipes and teaching, he tells Dagbladet.

Being on television often comes with viewers’ attention, and Torp Karlsen can reveal that he has felt it.

– It has appeared in messages here and there, and it has been nice. There are definitely some who have reached out, he responds with a laugh when Dagbladet asks if he has received any proposal letters after participation.
