MKR is hosted by Pete Evans and Manu Feildel, who are also the show`s lead judges, and stars Guy Grossi, Karen Martini, Liz Egan and Colin Fassnidge as guest judges. Seven did not renew the series during their annual upfronts in October 2020,[8] but suggested that the series could return in the future. [9] During Seven`s annual upfronts, it was confirmed that the series would return for a twelfth season in 2022. [10] [11] In December 2021, a return of Feildel as a judge was announced. In April 2022, it was announced that Nigella Lawson and Matt Preston would join Feildel as judges, while Colin Fassnidge, Gary Mehigan and Curtis Stone would appear as guest judges.[12] [13] [14] [15] In October 2022, the series was renewed for a 13th season, which will air in 2023. [16] My Kitchen Rules stars burst into tears after judges` evaluations: “Speechless” My Kitchen Rules is back with judges Nigella Lawson and Manu Feildel in a new season that will begin Sunday, August 7 at 7 p.m. on Channel Seven and 7plus. • MKR welcomes Nigella Lawson to the jury After the instant restaurants, the remaining teams compete in various challenges, either off-site or in the kitchen headquarters. The teams that cook the best food or get the most votes/money can win the public`s choice or the judge`s choice and gain benefits or security through eliminations.
Teams that don`t impress and get bad reviews from judges end up in the elimination of sudden death. Award-winning food journalist and TV personality Matt Preston also joins MKR this season, while celebrity chefs Colin Fassnidge and Curtis Stone return as guest judges. The duo wowed the jury with their four-course meal and received 27/30 points, only two points ahead of their competitors Kate and Mary. Each episode focuses on a team`s cooking day, setting up their instant restaurant, and serving a three-course meal – starter, main course, and dessert – for the judges and their opposing teams. The teams were only able to start cooking three hours before the other teams and judges arrived at their homes. Once the team has served the three meals to the judges and their opponent, each opposing team must evaluate the total meal of ten, and then each lead judge must evaluate each of the three dishes separately from the ten. The team with the lowest score is then at risk of being eliminated. The series promised to return to its roots and focus on cooking rather than drama, and also saw the introduction of new judges Nigella Lawson and Matt Preston. “It`s state vs.
state as the beloved contest returns to its original recipe – real people cooking real food at home and serving love on a plate to judges and their peers,” Channel 7 said in a statement. The final rounds use a format similar to the sudden death fight, but with an additional level of difficulty for the Grand Final – where instead of a three-course meal for 6 judges, teams must cook 20 five-course meal plates for the judges, and the eliminated teams, or 100 plates per team. The champion wins a prize of $100,000 (increased to $250,000 starting in season 3). The final round consists of three rounds: two semi-finals and one grand final. All follow a sudden death cooking format, where teams produce a three-course meal for the lead judges and for the four guest judges. Team meals are evaluated by the referees of ten and the team with the lowest score is eliminated. My Kitchen Rules (often abbreviated as MKR) is an Australian cooking game show that has aired on Seven Network since 2010. [1] The show is currently hosted and judged by chef Manu Feildel, who has appeared in every season of the show.
His kitchen colleague Pete Evans co-hosted until his departure after season 11, after a controversy over his personal opinions and social media posts. [2] Other celebrity chefs and food critics often appear as guest judges or mentors in the kitchen. The series was originally produced by the team that created the reality show My Restaurant Rules and was put into production based on the success of Network 10`s MasterChef Australia. [3] Inspired by MasterChef Australia, the series follows a group of two-person teams, each representing the different states of Australia as they compete in cooking games.
