Australia’s greatest home cooking competition is back, and bigger than ever. A brand-new season of My Kitchen Rules returns to Seven later this month.
From bustling cities to regional towns, MKR travels across the country to uncover a diverse group of passionate home cooks from all walks of life.
Best friends, siblings, parents and children, partners and unlikely teammates all come together with one shared dream: to prove their food is the best in Australia.
Culinary icons Manu Feildel and Colin Fassnidge return as co-hosts and judges, bringing their trademark camaraderie, expertise and passion for discovering the country’s best home cooks.
Manu describes the new season as “exciting, fiery and spicy,” with the teams serving up menus inspired by Australians’ appetite for comforting food and value for money.
His advice for teams hoping to take out the title? Stop watching the clock.
“I know it’s easier said than done, but try not to focus on the clock,” Manu says. “The clock is your enemy. The more you watch it, the more stressed you become – and the slower you work.”
For Colin, preparation is the secret to success.
“The biggest skill a team can have is a plan B and a plan C,” he says. “Expect things to go wrong and have something in your back pocket to fix them.”
Expect plenty of big personalities, bold flavours and unforgettable moments.
From treasured family recipes to innovative modern creations, there will be extraordinary dishes and
some of the most impressive cooking ever seen on MKR.
But great food is only part of the recipe.
This year, tensions simmer as traditional cooks go head-to-head with culinary risk-takers. Different cooking philosophies and personalities collide, rivalries emerge and every score carries enormous weight.
This season also delivers major surprises, high-stakes kitchen moments, and bombshell revelations at the table.
Only the best will make it to Kitchen HQ, where one team will rise above the rest to claim $100,000 and the title of My Kitchen Rules champions.
MKR is produced by ITV Studios Australia for the Seven Network.
My Kitchen Rules Premieres 7.30pm, Monday 28 September on Seven and 7plus
