Larcé Raymann, one of the most creative and confident contestants on The Taste Master SA, has bid a heartfelt farewell to the competition. Despite showcasing her culinary skills and creativity, Larcé was eliminated in the latest episode, which featured a honey-themed challenge.

The honey challenge:

The challenge required contestants to prepare a three-course menu with honey as the star ingredient. Larcé's menu included a starter of ricotta, honey-glazed beetroot, and prosciutto ham crackling with rocket, followed by a main course of honey-marinated pork with mash and honey-glazed carrots. For dessert, she presented honey and nut puff pastry buns with diplomat cream.

Throughout the competition, Larcé impressed judges with her calm confidence, vivid plating, and soulful storytelling through food. Her father's influence on her cooking was evident, and she often channelled his boldness and simplicity in her dishes.

Larcé's time on The Taste Master SA was marked by significant personal and culinary growth. She learned to take risks, try new flavour combinations, and trust herself more. Masterclasses with chefs like Zandi and Zola provided valuable insights and techniques that she will carry forward in her culinary journey.

Now that her Taste Master journey has ended, Larcé is planning to study part-time at a culinary school and launch her bed and breakfast. She has also been asked to set a price list for private chef services, indicating a promising future in the culinary industry.

New episodes of The Taste Master SA air every Tuesday at 7.30pm on SABC 2, with repeats on Wednesdays at 1pm and Sundays at 4pm.
