DEAN Banks is riding high after making it to the final of MasterChef The Professionals.
We take a look at his story so far…
Who is Dean Banks?
Educated at Dundee University, 29-year-old Dean is a private chef from Scotland.
His signature dish is cured sea trout topped with nori seaweed, served with a crispy trout skin, a trio of cucumber, sea trout roe, wasabi mayonnaise and a matcha powder.
Dean has worked in swanky establishments like the Balmoral Hotel in Edinburgh and the Tides Lodge in Tanzania.
Dean has cooked in Michelin starred restaurants, chalets and top private estates across Europe.
He describes himself as a “well driven individual that has a creative mind with the ability to work for long hours whilst staying on top of my game.”
What has happened to Dean so far on MasterChef The Professionals?
The chef wowed judges Marcus Wareing and Monica Galetti with his signature dish in the first stages of the contest.
Since then TV audiences have been impressed at his calmness under pressure.
His Korean glazed duck with pistachio Thai salad didn’t quite blow the judges away in the semi-final, with Gregg Wallace saying there wasn’t enough of the Korean flavours on the plate, while Marcus said the chef had “sat and overthought this dish too much”.
His black sesame cheesecake topped with chili salt and sugared raw green mango also “lacked the texture that we long for in a cheesecake”.
Still, it was enough to see the Scottish chef – who has been incredibly strong in the contest – through to the finals.

To achieve her kick-ass figure, Hayden – who plays cheerleader Claire Bennet in Heroes – follows the ‘quartering’ rule. She eats only a quarter of the food on her plate, then waits 20 minutes before deciding whether she needs to eat again.
Hayden says: “I don’t have a model’s body, but I’m not one of those crazy girls who thinks that they’re fat. I’m OK with what I have.”
Nicollette says: “I don’t like diets – I see it, I eat it! I believe in eating healthily with lots of protein, vegetables and carbs to give you energy.”

SATC star Kim swears by gym sessions with Russian kettle bells (traditional cast-iron weights) and the South Beach Diet to give her the body she wants. To avoid overeating, Kim has a radical diet trick – squirting lemon juice on her leftovers – so she won’t carry on picking.
Kim says: “I am no super-thin Hollywood actress. I am built for men who like women to look like women.”
