“MasterChef Australia” 2023: Cath Collins

54-year-old Cath Collins is finally taking the leap and chasing her “MasterChef” dreams. After watching Julie Goodwin’s return to the competition in 2022, Collins felt inspired to apply.

When home, she constantly aspires to feed her two daughters yummy meals that nourished, engaged and excited them. Just like her mother did for her and her nine other siblings. The administration professional is a self taught cook that feels she has a good grip on both sweet and savoury. Simply put, she just loves all food.

After her travels and ventures in eating out, Collins became fascinated with European cuisines. This became especially handy during COVID lockdowns to keep her family’s tastebuds interested. She would often pull together themed dinners and creative desserts.

Beyond the MasterChef kitchen, she hopes to open a high tea café and create a series of cooking classes for school-aged children, teens and adults too.

Watch Cath embark on her “MasterChef Australia” journey when it premieres on 10 and 10 play.
