\u201cEddie is nothing short of a culinary powerhouse,\u201d said Torode. \u201cHis love of classic French food blended with the spices of India, has made us really stand up and take notice. He\u2019s daring, he\u2019s adventurous, he doesn\u2019t play it safe.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cI think we\u2019ve just seen the birth of a future great chef,\u201d Wallace added. \u201cEddie impressed from the moment he set foot in this kitchen. He\u2019s hardly put a foot wrong throughout the competition.\u201d<\/p>\n
Eddie came up against two very strong finalists in runners-up Pookie Tredell and Radha Kaushal-Bolland, after Sarah Rankin and Ioan Jones had left the competition earlier in the final week.<\/p>
The final week saw him go from strength to strength \u2013 travelling to Ballymaloe House and Cookery School in the South-West of Ireland, working with celebrated chef Gordon Ramsay, and finally cooking the \u201cbest three-course meal of his life\u201d.<\/p>\n
All three of the courses were greeted with rapturous enthusiasm from the judges, with Gregg saying of his starter, \u201cYou are cooking to a standard, here, that many professional chefs haven\u2019t reached.\u201d<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, John described his main course \u2013 a caraway and nigella seed pastry-topped chicken biryani \u2013 as \u201cextraordinary and addictive\u201d, while Gregg said of his dessert: \u201cIt\u2019s naughty but it\u2019s absolutely delicious.\u201d<\/p>\n
Speaking about his future after winning the competition, Eddie said: \u201cEverything in my life has been building up to doing something in food. It would be amazing to be able to cook in a top restaurant and with the most famous royal Awadhi chefs in Lucknow.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt would also be exciting to write about food or even do some more TV. What I\u2019d really love is to own my own restaurant \u2013 sharing my food memories and nostalgia. I always knew one day I wanted to pursue a career in food and now MasterChef has made me realise that this can be a reality.\u201d<\/p>\n
