Sekuyiminyaka eyishumi sibona isivakashi esivule isizini yesishiyagalolunye ye-'Planeta Calleja' kumabonakude. Njalo ngeviki iqoqwa ezindlini ezingaphezu kwesigidi, labo abashuna ngokwethembeka kuhlelo lwe-'Masterchef' ngemva kwe-edishini. Unzima, uchwepheshe futhi ufuna, u-Jordi Cruz uthole idumela lokungakhathali ngokumelene nabafake izicelo. Kodwa kuloLwesithathu, ngoFebhuwari 8, umpheki ubonise ababukeli uhlangothi lwakhe oluhluke ngokuphelele.
UmCatalan wamukele ukwedelelwa kokuhamba no-Jesús Calleja ukuya eGreece yasenganekwaneni ekubonisweni kokuqala kwesitolimende esisha sohlelo lwe-Cuatro futhi wanika umethuli isimangaliso esijabulisayo ngokubonisa ubuntu obungahlangene nakancane nalokho bompheki wasemngceleni ovela ku-'Masterchef ' . “Bengikuthanda ukhuluphele,” kuvuma uCalleja lapho ethola uhlangothi lwesivakashi sakhe oluzwelayo, oluhlekisayo nolulwayo.
Umthandi omkhulu wamasiko asendulo, isiCatalan sahamba sibambene nama-globetrotters ePelion Peninsula, lapho ngokwezinganekwane ayehlala khona ama-centaurs. Badabula izintaba zalesi sifunda, badabula iGulf of Volos (lapho kwasuka khona uhambo oludumile lwezinganekwane lukaJason nama-Argonauts), futhi badoba ama-urchin olwandle u-Cruz ayewakhiqiza ngempahla eluhlaza ukuze alungise uqweqwe olumnandi emphemeni. Khona-ke behla emithambekeni esempumalanga yenhlonhlo, ephindaphinda kuze kufike kumamitha angu-35 ukuphakama; futhi uvakashele izigodlo ezimangalisayo ezimisiwe zaseMeteora.
Futhi phakathi kohambo olude kangaka, umpheki wagxila kokunye kokuhlangenwe nakho, ama-anecdotes nezinkumbulo zokuphila kwakhe kunanini ngaphambili. Njengokuthi unezingane zakubo eziyisithupha, amantombazane amane nabafana ababili. “Sihlukene, ngizwana nawo wonke umuntu. Izinhlobo zethu zezilwane."
Ubuhlobo noyise, uFederico, owashona eminyakeni embalwa edlule, abuzange bube lula. Wayenesimilo esibi, kodwa wayehlale elalela izinto zakhe ezimbi. "Ubephila izinto eziningi ezingamvumeli ukuthi ajabule." Abazange babonise uthando olukhulu, kodwa wakwazi ukumtshela ukuthi wayemthanda amahora amabili ngaphambi kokuba ashone. “Bengihlezi ngicabanga ukuthi ubaba ngeke ahambe engashongo ukuthi ngiyakuthanda. Wayene-Alzheimer's yesilwane, iqiniso lokuthi lokho kubukeka kwakungaqukethe lutho kwenza umsebenzi waba lula kimina”.
Mayelana nokuqala umndeni wakhe, utshele uCalleja ukuthi ufuna ukuba nezingane nozakwabo wamanje uRebecca Lima, asehlale naye iminyaka emine. Ngaphambi kwakhe, impilo yakhe yothando akuyona into abantu abacabanga ngayo, esho. “Ngibe nentombazane eneminyaka engu-14, eminye engu-8. Ukuthi uJordi uyigulf akunjalo, ungabi yigobongo”.

Olunye uhlangothi lwempumelelo
Ngaphezu kwalokho, umpheki waphumela obala ngezinkinga zempilo aye wabhekana nazo ngenxa yamazinga engcindezi 'yesilo esikhulu' aye wabhekana naso. "Ngangibambekile futhi ngisebenzisa imithi." Umethuli wezinhlelo ubefuna ukwazi ukuthi uma ngezimpelasonto ujwayele ukwenza izinhlelo ezithule zokuphumula, isivakashi siphendule kabi. “Uyazi ukuthi kwenzekani? Enye yezinto ezimbi ezidalwe yingcindezi ukuthi, uma ngiya ezimeni ezizolile, ingcindezi ingifikela”.
Mayelana nomsebenzi wakhe wobungcweti, ngaphandle kwempumelelo yakhe njengompheki onezinkanyezi eziyisithupha ze-Michelin, iminyaka eyishumi ephethe i-'Masterchef', lapho kuye kwadingeka afunde ukubhekana namahloni akhe, yavela obala.
Ukungena esikhumbeni somuntu ofunwa yijaji, udumo lwakhe olumandulele, waxazulula impicabadala ukuthi iyiphi ifomethi ayijabulela kakhulu. “Okungijabulisa kakhulu ‘usaziwayo’. Kunginika umqondo othile ukubona izibalo engizibone lapho impilo yami yonke futhi ngizibona zisengozini, zincane kakhulu, futhi ngikwazi ukuthi 'ipuleti lakho liyishiti', esho ehleka”. Uphinde wancoma ozakwabo. “U-Pepe muhle, ungumfowethu omdala. Futhi uSamantha kwesinye isikhathi angabonakala sengathi uhlukile, kodwa ungowesifazane olungile, ophanayo, ohlelekile, ucezu lukamama nomuntu onenhliziyo enkulu."
