My Kitchen Rules 2025 is back to show us homegrown cooks can do it just as good as professional chefs, and one team ready to compete for the $100,000 prize money is mother-daughter duo Anne and Maree.
The Greek goddesses are bringing a splash of Europe to the MKR dining experience, ready to embrace all of Australia into their big Greek family.
Everything we know about My Kitchen Rules’ Anne and Maree
To Anne and Maree, cooking is more than just a tradition: it’s “love, legacy and a tribute” to their family.
Expect high energy and entertainment from the mother and daughter, with their dynamic described as “non-stop singing, dancing, and laughing”.
Anne is a former beautician who won’t settle for anything less than perfect. Maree, is a mum of three and an accomplished singer, who describes her mum and her Yia-yia as her “biggest role models”.
Their secret weapon is a handwritten cookbook passed down from Anne’s late mother, with the team ready to pay tribute to Yia-yia’s legacy. And if Colin Fassnidge’s words are anything to go by in the promo, we have high hopes for the pair. “This is seasoned with love… I thought I was in Greece,” Colin is seen saying.
The dynamic duo dream of turning Yia-yia’s traditional Greek recipes into a cookbook to share with the world one day.
What happened during Anne and Maree’s cook on MKR?
Anne and Maree picked up the first 10 of the competition, with Colin praising their entrée of Chargrilled Octopus with Spanakorizo as a “perfect” dish.
After a strong start, unfortunately for the duo their main dish of Chicken and Lamb Souvlakia with Pita and Tzatziki, didn’t hit the same mark, with the judges both thinking there were too many elements. And Anne’s dessert, handed down from her mother, scored a six from both judges.
The Orange Semolina Cake with Chocolate and Candied Orange held deep sentimental value, and while the judges appreciated the simplicity and lightness of the dish, they questioned whether it was a competitive enough dessert.
Anne and Maree ended up scoring 44/60 from Colin and Manu, and 34/50 from the other MKR participants, bringing their total to 78/110, falling one point short of Justin and Will’s debut cook.
