Nikita Pathakji, the chef, is a MasterChef, The Professionals Champion winner. After six weeks of sweat-inducing tests, she defeated the finals Charlie Jeffreys, Sagar Massey, and 29 other experienced chefs.
The winner of MasterChef: The Professionals credits their achievement to her family.
Nikita of Derby was crowned champion on Sunday after impressing judges over the course of six weeks of grueling culinary tasks. The 25-year-old described winning the tournament as “wonderful.” She also attributed her culinary interest to her family.
Ms Pathakji stunned the judges in the final, including Michelin-starred chef Marcus Wareing, acclaimed chef Anna Haugh, and TV personality Gregg Wallace, with a three-course dish inspired by her travels. Her winning cuisine included cured sea bass in a citrus sauce, smoked aubergine puree, and aubergine crackers.
Following that came a variation on her favorite Thai cuisine, Khao Soi, with a cardamom and custard pie coupled with a honey and lemon sorbet for dessert.
“Nikita opened up the larder of the world and brought us dish after stunning dish after stunning dish.”

“My mum has been cooking since I was a kid, creating dishes, and I’ve been cooking with her in the kitchen,” And then my dad really sparked my love of travelling, so all of them together are the reason I cook the food I do. ” Before I became a chef at first, she [her mother] would let me do canapés and desserts – but now she will actually give me a course, which is very exciting.
“We’re always a household that host parties and cooks all the food for everyone. People come to our house with Tupperware because they know there’ll be so much they can take home.” Ms Pathakji said she hoped her success on the show would act as a springboard for exciting projects in the future.
“It’s very exciting because it’s the first time in my career where there are people who really want to eat my food – and I want to do that for them,” she said. “I want to do pop-ups and collaborations and work with the fabulous chefs I competed alongside. ” It’s still a work in progress but there’ll definitely be things in the new year I think.”
