For True Foodie Heaven, Check Out the ‘MasterChef 2021’ Contestants On Instagram

April 20, 2021

If you are as excited as we are that MasterChef Australia is back for another season then chances are you are a foodie who either loves to follow innovative chefs on Instagram or perhaps you have your own feed full of tantalising treats.

Having premiered its latest season on Monday, April 19, the beloved cooking reality show has already introduced us to a beautifully diverse cast of home cooks who are hoping to take home the $250,000 grand prize.

In an interview with The Latch, judge Andy Allen revealed how impressed he was with the competitors this season saying: “The stories of these guys and their attitude and their willingness to give up their amazing careers and then take the plunge and really, give everything that they have in each and every challenge, it’s amazing to see.”

Addressing this impressive new batch of contestants during the season’s debut, fellow judge Melissa Leong gave a passionate speech about the challenges of 2020.

“Last year, our world turned upside down,” she said.

“And although it was tough, it forced us all to reassess what is most important in our lives. Last year may have been a time of change, but this year is a time of opportunity.”

It’s no secret that one of the heroes of 2020 was food, with so many people trying their hand at cooking everything from banana bread to sourdough to focaccia gardens as they were confined to their homes to stop the spread of COVID-19.

Not to mention the countless TikTok recipes that have gone viral from baked feta to “nature’s cereal”.

Yep, it is very safe to say that food and social media go together like tacos and margaritas, oysters and champagne, steak with a full-bodied glass of red and, well, you get it.

If you are keen to get to know the MasterChef contestants a little better and get a daily dose of inspiration from their culinary magic, then look no further because we have found them all on Instagram so you can drool away to your heart’s content.

Bon appétit!
