Overview
- On Day 3 in Hamburg, Elli, 45, hosted with a themed menu of Salato Tonnato, beef-filled ravioli, and a Franzbrötchen-based tiramisu.
- Preparation and service brought setbacks as tortellini tore during cutting and a crystal glass shattered at the table.
- Guests praised the ravioli, the al dente pasta dough, and a richly flavored jus, though some wanted more filling and stronger punch.
- The dessert drew the sharpest criticism, with Stefan calling the Franzbrötchen tiramisu “not schlotzig enough” and missing the expected moist, sticky center.
- Elli stayed upbeat throughout and earned 32 points for the evening, with coverage noting her role on the German Cookbook Prize jury.
