“MasterChef Australia” 2023: Rhiannon Anderson
Rhiannon Anderson is a 46-year-old Administration worker from Queensland who is ready to take on the challenge of “MasterChef Australia”. With her children and stepchildren now grown, Rhiannon sees this as an opportunity to show them that anything is possible, no matter what age you are.
Rhiannon’s biggest inspiration in life has always been her mum, who unfortunately lost her battle with ovarian cancer in 2021. Her mum was a chef and started teaching Rhiannon how to cook when she was just 11 years old. Rhiannon cherishes the memories of time spent in the kitchen with her mum and has continued to refine her skills ever since. Her mum always encouraged her to follow her dreams and even told her to apply for “MasterChef”.
With her passion for food and drive to succeed, Rhiannon is ready to take on any challenge. She hopes to not only impress the judges with her culinary creations but to also inspire others to pursue their dreams and never give up on their goals.
“MasterChef Australia: Secrets & Surprises” will premiere soon on 10 and 10 Play.
