Who is MasterChef finalist Radha Ru?

THINGS are heating up in the MasterChef kitchen.

The show has reached its final round, and one of those lucky enough to still be in the competition is Radha Ru.

Who is MasterChef semi-finalist Radha Ru?

Radha Ru is a 23-year-old law graduate from Bradford.

Speaking about her food inspiration, she told the BBC: "Drawing on my dual Indian-British heritage, my style combines Indian cuisine with Western adaptations.

"I also love pairing my food with cocktails! I love to recreate classic British desserts as they remind me of the puddings I ate at boarding school.

"I’ve been a vegetarian for the majority of my life, so this inspires me to cook with plant-based products, elevating a humble vegetable and giving it a spicy twist by pairing it with flavours of my Indian heritage."

Speaking about why she wanted to enter MasterChef, she said: "Although I’ve just finished a law degree, my heart lies in food.

"I only started cooking during lockdown as a means to alleviate some of the stress from my final exams at university.

"MasterChef is my programme of choice as it brings back fond memories each year when I look forward to watching the latest series on TV.

"So being on MasterChef was a dream come true."
