MasterChef Australia is a television cooking competition that is typically broadcast for three months each year since 2009. There are generally 24 contestants each year.
A number of those contestants, who were untrained home cooks at the time of their appearance, have gone on to host their own television cooking series. [1] [2] [3] [4]
