The Kitchen Became an Arena Many have long awaited this moment: World star Jamie Oliver against the German TV favorite Tim Mälzer. This is not just a cooking duel, but a true duel of giants! Anyone who thought it would be easy was mistaken. The tasks were so tricky that even these professionals broke a sweat.

London Called: Beef Wellington!

Jamie Oliver had something very special in mind for Tim Mälzer. In London, the kitchen bulldog had to tackle a British classic: Beef Wellington. It might sound like a delicious appetizer, but for Jamie, this dish is pure childhood—and he has high standards. Only the head chef Calum Franklin could prepare it in a way that matched his home memories. A real challenge that Mälzer had to master with flying colors.

Mälzer's Culinary Counterattack

But Tim Mälzer wouldn't be Tim Mälzer if he didn't send Jamie Oliver into completely unknown territory as well. While the Hamburger struggled with the Beef Wellington, the British star chef faced the Burmese dish "Mohinga" in a foreign kitchen. A culinary adventure that could push even a world star like Oliver to his limits. Who would have thought that a noodle soup could hold so many secrets?

The Most Emotional Finale of All Time

The absolute highlight of the episode came at the very end and made the fans' hearts race. Both kitchen luminaries met again in a shared kitchen. There awaited a task they had to solve in front of their mutual culinary mentor: the Italian cooking legend Gennaro Contaldo. In his former restaurant "Passione," the preparation of Sardinian Culurgiones was on the agenda—a pasta that packs a punch.

A Journey into the Past

"This challenge was really tough," Jamie Oliver himself admitted. "Gennaro knew exactly that Culurgiones is one of the most difficult pastas to prepare. It is extremely demanding. And he has seen over the years how I have repeatedly failed at it." For Contaldo and his famous protégés, this challenge became an emotional journey into their shared past. The tension was palpable!

"Kitchen Impossible": A Success Story

Tim Mälzer has cooked his way into the hearts of fans with his unique style and nerve-wracking challenges.
