Anna Moroni, now spits the truth about the chef’s ordeal: “When Antonella left…”

When we think of the Chef’s Essay, we can only think of the most famous pairing of all time, namely Clerici – Moroni. When everything was turned upside down by the Rai editorial staff, we saw these two pillars go. It is only today that the truth is known about the reason for Anna Moroni’s farewell.

Antonella Clerici and Anna Moroni are practically the two mainstays that gave way to the program we all know and loved, namely the Chef’s Test. For years thanks to their sympathy we laughed at their gags and we learned many tasty and original recipes. Then something changed, overnight we no longer saw either “Antonellina” nor “Annina”, as their fans affectionately called them, leading the program, but new faces and new rules revolutionized the program. Now we finally have the real story.

Honestly, from the upper floors of the Rai house, we really did not expect the behavior they reserved for Anna Moroni. It is true that we are all useful, but no one is indispensable.

The Beginnings of the Chief’s Trial

La Prova del Cuoco was an Italian cooking show that aired on Rai Uno from 2000 to 2020, when it closed down for good. The historic presenter of the program has always been Antonella Clerici, who, together with Anna Moroni and other regulars, including cooks, entertained Italian lunchtimes with exciting recipes and competitions. Between 2008 and 2010, Clerici was replaced by Elisa Isoardi, during her pregnancy period. Then Antonella came back and continued to lead the program until 2018, when she was replaced due to a generation change decided by Rai, definitively by Isoardi.

Anna Moroni’s Pain

Anna Moroni and Antonella Clerici were fired from their program without too much preamble. In the past, it was always thought that Moroni left out of respect and union with her friend Clerici, but today the truth that is being discovered is another. Anna Moroni confessed that she was never even called back by the program organizers to attend the new season. Here are Anna’s still resentful words:

“When Antonella left the producer, Rai wanted to change everything and they absolutely did not look for me. In October 2018 Elio Bonsignore offered me the program on Rete 4 and I accepted. The following year for La Prova del cuoco was a disaster… at that time they looked for me, even Elisa called me one day, but I reiterated that I was not going to Prova del cuoco. hurt Elio. I was born honest and I want to die honest”.

Here, then, is the real reason for Moroni’s change of course. To date, she and Antonella have taken different paths, but their friendship is still the same.
