Patience has finally paid off for all of the My Kitchen Rules fans who’ve been waiting for the better part of the year for MKR 2024.
There’s just a handful of days to go until My Kitchen Rules (MKR) begins to tour around the country once again in 2024 to find the most impressive pair of home cooks in Australia.
The formidable duo Colin Fassnidge and Manu Feildel are back as the judges for MKR season 14.
Here’s everything we know about MKR 2024.
When does MKR 2024 air?
MKR 2024 kicks off on September 9 at 7:30pm on 7Plus and Channel 7.
Is there a MKR 2024 trailer?
There is! Watch it below.
There are also promo videos featuring five of the teams. You can watch those below.
The 2024 MKR cast
The first Instant Kitchen round will see six teams of everyday Aussies tour around Australia and cook in their own kitchens. You can find out more about each team of MKR 2024 contestants here, and watch their promo videos below.
Rob and Liam
Rob and Liam might be brothers, but that doesn’t mean they’re not going to be cutthroat with each other.
“We are the most competitive brothers in Australia,” Rob said in a promo video.
The siblings – who are only 18 months apart in age – learnt to cook from their mother, who they called “an absolute weapon in the kitchen” in a press release.
Mike and Pete
West Australian friends Mike and Pete can dish out the criticism, but can they take it?
In the MKR promo video, the pals repeatedly chirp on about how easy their co-stars’ dishes are to make but appear to face some trouble when it’s their turn to hit the kitchen.
According to their Channel 7 bio, the pair will add spice to the conversation and ruffle feathers at the table.
“There’s no controlling Mike’s mouth,” Pete said in an MKR press release.
Hannah and Lawrence
WA couple Hannah and Lawrence have been dubbed the “sweethearts” of the season. According to his Channel 7 bio, Lawrence will propose to Hannah if they win the season… Which has us concerned about what will happen if they don’t win.
“If we win MKR I’m dropping on one knee, that’s non-negotiable,” he said.
In the couple’s promo video, Hannah declares that she and Lawrence have “never argued”, right before they appear to kick off a fight.
Good luck to them!
Danny and Sonia
If you thought Jac and Shaz from MKR Season 6 were true blue Aussies, wait until you meet MKR 2024‘s Danny and Sonia.
The brother-and-sister team from far North Queensland put the Aussie in Aussie cuisine. According to their Channel 7 bio, the siblings were raised to hunt, fish and cook.
”We didn’t have a lot growing up, but we did have love and we did have food,” Sonia said in her bio.
Danny added that he’s ready to “show some of my cooking skills to Australia, meet new people and just have a good time.”
Simone and Viviana
Could the first announced team, Simone and Viviana, be the most impressive pair of cooks this season? The Italian-born friends plan on showing Australia their “style, class and modern Italian with a twist,” according to an MKR trailer.
The Italian besties may be Queensland-based but they’ll be bringing their home country’s flair to MKR 2024.
Simone is a self-proclaimed adventurous cook who innovates classic recipes and dishes.
Viviana recalls the first dish she ever prepared was gnocchi alla romana which she made with her grandma.
In a sweet moment in the MKR 2024 trailer, Simone gets emotional when she tearfully serves up what she thinks is a sub-par dish to judges Colin and Manu.
However, the infamous tough judge Colin eases her doubts when he shows her his plate that has been licked all but clean.
“This says it all,” he told the pair.
“Seeing your plate so clean is just an honour, so thank you,” she replied.
Ash and Cassie
Ash and Cassie are young mums and dieticians who want to share their cooking skills with Australia.
“I believe I have what it takes to win with Ash by my side while utilising healthier alternatives. I want to show Australia that tasty meals can also be healthy,” Cassie said in an MKR press release.
Who are the MKR 2024 judges?
Colin and Manu are returning as the judges of the Instant Kitchen rounds. Woohoo!
The two celebrity chefs were judges on MKR 2023‘s Instant Kitchen rounds and were joined by judge Nigella Lawson afterwards at Kitchen HQ. Whether Nigella will be returning for 2024? We’ll just have to wait and see!
My Kitchen Rules 2024 premieres on September 9 at 7:30pm on Channel 7 and 7Plus.
