• Television What happens to Jordi Roca in the voice: the explanation of his whispers in MasterChef 10

As you take?

"I'm still assimilating it, I can't believe it" confesses

, winner of MasterChef 10.

This Monday was one of the closest and most surprising finals in the history of the program.

A competition between two great women -María Lo and Verónica- who gave everything to take first place, but only one managed it.

We already know who she was.

With her victory, María Lo wins three great prizes: her own

, training at the

, which is the prize she likes the most because "she continues to train", and

.

- What do you plan to do with so much money, Maria?

-Buy a Ferrari (laughs).

It's a joke.

I will invest it in myself.

I will create my

in Barcelona with which I will bring dishes that identify me.

I'm going to prepare an

my girlfriend , and obviously María Lo's future is to

, but that's more in the long term.

Where?

I don't know, but the main thing is traditional cuisine, good products, kilometer zero and putting out dishes that get people excited.

María will start her training in October and then that roller coaster of projects will come.

"I am also

. I am very excited to be working in a place with so many Michelin stars (three) and to complete my training with a great like Jordi", she assures.

A great MasterChef final

The woman from Cádiz chose a

made up of three dishes that reflected her identity and were pure María Lo style.

With its roots and its passage through life.

That first course with the

, her hometown.

A second with the

as the main axis with which she made reference to

, and the icing on the cake: the

, with which she wanted to convey her pride in her Asian origin, to which she gave the name "

". ".

And it was that menu with which he conquered the three MasterChef judges,

, founder of elBulli (three Repsol soles) and special guest at the last gala.

"For me, cooking is a way of telling who you are, of giving your essence and creating an experience, and that was what I was clear about. That's why

in Cádiz, on my mother's side, and on my part Asian, on the father's side; in addition to the Galician part. Something that was super involved and was very clear was that I wanted to tell who I am, and

, "explains María Lo.

And it was precisely his

, who passed away on May 7 at the age of 83, his main source of inspiration: "All his love has passed me through the kitchen, because it's not like he gave me many hugs, like a good Asian who it was".

The great experience as training and as a sense of life of this 32-year-old chef has been, without a doubt,

: "It has helped me to take that complicated step and launch myself into it. Being able to focus my life is what has fascinated me of the program".

Not just for that.

Also as

"I have experienced all the emotions there have been and have had, I assure you. Insecurities of not knowing if I was going to achieve it, self-sabotage, and getting out of it. I had no other option but to leave those negative thoughts behind. Knowing how to make mistakes and learn from my own mistakes and keep going. It has given me tools to love myself more and not to beat myself up so much".

That has been MasterChef for her.

Inside he has realized one thing: that he loves the rhythm of the kitchen, but that not everyone is good at it.

Whoever wants to dedicate himself to this, according to María, has to understand what cooking is: "

", she stresses.

"And I have that very integrated."

And it is that cooking drives her "crazy", since she considers herself a "very active aunt" and somewhere "she has to let off

".

Never better said, Maria.
