The once great home-cooking show is going back to its roots, hoping Australia will fall in love with home-cooking again.
Nigella Lawson has travelled the world and dined in Michelin-starred restaurants, but My Kitchen Rules’ queen of the kitchen reveals home cooking is her one true love.
Nigella shares:
“For me, the story of food is the story of home cooking. Home cooking is where the heart is. That’s the food that makes us feel safe, that’s the food that makes up happy.”
She adds that the only rule in her kitchen is that it must taste good!
The celebrated author and home cook also has a special place in her heart for Australian home cooking:
“I’m in Australia because Australian cooking is like the Australian character; full of life, unpretentious, fresh and direct, and I love that!”
Nigella was announced to be joining the series back in April, and she will travel around Australia with returning host and judge Manu Feildel to dine in the homes of passionate home cooks competing for the title of My Kitchen Rules Champion.
Also joining My Kitchen Rules this season is award-winning food journalist and TV personality Matt Preston (of MasterChef fame), while celebrity chefs Colin Fassnidge and Curtis Stone return as guest judges.
Nigella replaces former co-host and judge Pete Evans, who parted ways with the network in 2020 following a wave of controversy and legal trouble.
Manu and Matt Preston previously co-hosted the short-lived cooking series Plate Of Origin, which also starred former MasterChef co-host Gary Mehigan.
Australia’s once favourite cooking show, My Kitchen Rules, returns soon to Channel 7 and 7plus.
Which team will be crowned Australia’s best home cooks?
My Kitchen Rules is produced by ITV Studios Australia for the Seven Network.
