Monica Galetti

What is it about Monica Galetti? Well there’s no doubt she’s a talented and articulate professional but she also has a very intimidating aura of menace and mystery about her. I believe the fear she instils on the contestants of MasterChef: The Professionals is a positive one and it would be better if the young chefs didn’t fear her. In fact they should fear the lack of her presence instead. Which is also another way of saying one can learn an awful lot from this lady.

But then again not all iconic figureheads are perfect. This post illustrates some of Monica’s quirky moments from the 13th episode of MasterChef: The Professionals 2011.

Her annoying trademark of pop-eyes.
This usually happens whenever she’s startled by a contestant’s incompetence or stroke of genius.

She can be blatantly contradictory but thankfully not all the time (more to follow)-

Josh’s dessert.

Our Monica was disgusted.

Nevertheless she had to tuck in.

Oh, oh…

Eating food off a knife, slap on wrist girl!

A dejected looking Josh.

Oh hello it’s Monica’s boss, Mr Twinkly Eyes, he who absolutely hates the green left on strawberries!

And look what he’s concocted as well, a strawberry something or the other with the detestable ‘green’ attached.

Dear Monica, Josh deserves, at the very least, an apology.
