Favourites

We last saw Aldo in season 10 ofMasterChef Australia(with the most impressive Fabio locks), and since then, he's kept up his appearances on television while also opening pop-up restaurants in Sydney.

Growing up in Italy, we can expect some delicious European meals from this chef.

Yes. Season 2 favourite, Alvin Quah is back, funky glasses and all.

Born in Kuala Lumpur with a Chinese-Malaysian heritage, Alvin is passionate about sharing his culture's food (and we can't get enough of it).

He's an all-rounder in the kitchen with a great love for desserts too. We adore a versatile cook! Hopefully more iconic specs coming from Alvin too this season.

Since Billie McKay's season win, the dairy-farm-raised chef has been all over the world sharing her delicious passion.
