Emily Ludolf (born 1990 in Lyne, Surrey, England) is a multi-sensory artist who creates participatory artworks. She fist came to public attention as the youngest-ever finalist at 18 years of age when she appeared in the 2008 series of BBC TV show MasterChef, a reality tv show for amateur cook. In the finals Ludolf competed against Jonny Stevenson and James Nathan, the latter eventually winning the competition. Ludolf drew media attention after the show was broadcast after having confounded the judges, Gregg Wallace and John Torode, with her own strange culinary inventions, which have later been published in various newspaper and magazine articles.
