There’s nothing like a starter to whet the appetite, and the MasterChef Australia first look promo has us hungrier than ever.

You’ve never seen MasterChef Australia like this: never seen creations like this, never seen places like this, and never seen surprises like this.

In a feast for the eyes, the first glimpse reveals a litany of lush locations, from Melbourne’s Queen Victoria Market to regional gems Bendigo and Ballarat, all the way to the rooftops of Hong Kong.

When it comes to guest chefs, Jamie Oliver isn’t the only one heating up the kitchen. Expect fan favourites Adriano Zumbo and Anna Polyviou to set challenges fiercer than ever, while social sensations Vincent Yeow Lim (AKA DimSimLim) and Mikiko Terasaki cross the MasterChef Australia Kitchen threshold for the first time.

There’s never been a season like this.
