Masterchef: The fresh Batch!

Masterchef: The fresh Batch!

Lucy Chesterton serves up the inside info on the top 24. Who will take the heat and stay in the kitchen?

ADELE

Just like Australia’s first MasterChef Julie Goodwin, Adele is a home-grown mum, who’s very close to her sons, Matthew and Michael, and deeply in love with her husband, Vince. Her big heart means she is a favourite among contestants, her excellent gnocchi is revered by the three judges, while audiences love her humility.

JONATHAN

He looks like the perfect ladies’ man, but Jonathan is newly wed, to Mandy. And luckily for Mandy, her new husband can handle a range of cuisines, from Moroccan to French, and is dedicated to desserts. With his charm and his killer kitchen skills, Jonathan is sure to get the judges fired up for all the right reasons.

SARAH

Leaving behind her young sons, Harry, 3, and six-month-old Sam, means Sarah has sacrificed a lot for her shot at the second MasterChef title. With so much at stake, and the support of her loving hubby, Nick, we predict we’ll see Sarah dishing up her hearty lamb shanks and roasts well into the last rounds of the competition.

MATTHEW

What he lacks in professional experience, Matt makes up for with a determination worthy of a top cook. While he’s not afraid to make fun of himself, joking, “I’m the only accountant here, which means I have no sense of humour and I’m boring,” Matt is far more interesting than he admits, and will likely go far in the competition.

MasterChef airs Sunday to Friday at 7.30pm on Network Ten.
