My Kitchen Rules is returning with a brand-new season coming soon to Channel 7 and 7plus.
Nigella Lawson and Manu Feildel are Australia’s best home cooks and are on a mission to uncover treasured family recipes and find real people cooking real food.
In the first look released by Seven, Nigella touches down in Australia to meet Manu, in hopes of finding Australia’s next best cooks.
Nigella said, “When you think about the food you love, it’s nearly always home cooking. I’m a home cook and it’s the food that I want to eat. I’ve come 17,000 kilometres to find Australia’s best home cooks.”
Nigella will travel around Australia with returning host and judge Manu as they critique a new batch of passionate home cooks.
“As MKR judges, we make the perfect team with our years of experience in professional and home kitchens respectively,” said Manu.
“As lovers of delicious food and a fabulous dinner party, I can promise you we’re also going to have a lot of fun!”
The first look at the new series shows the contestants from each state and territory cooking up a storm.
Also joining MKR this season is award-winning food journalist and TV personality Matt Preston, while celebrity chefs Colin Fassnidge and Curtis Stone return as guest judges.
Earlier this year, Nigella said, “Going to restaurants can be a treat, but for me, the true story of food is told through the cooking we do at home. So, to have the chance to champion home cooks and be given the intimate privilege of being invited into people’s homes to eat their food fills me with gratitude and excitement in equal measure.
“I’m so looking forward to working with Manu too. Although he’s a chef and I’m a home cook, the fact is we both just want to eat good food. I feel I’ve got a lot to learn from him, but just know we’ll have a lot of fun in the process. I can’t wait.”
My Kitchen Rules is produced by ITV Studios Australia for the Seven Network.
