MasterChef Australia 2025 is upon us, bringing back some of the biggest fan-favourite contestants for MasterChef: Back to Win, including the brilliant Audra Morrice.
Guiding the chefs through what is sure to be one of the most nostalgia-packed seasons yet are returning Masterchef Australia judges Andy Allen, the always-charming Poh Ling Yeow, multi-Michelin-starred chef Jean-Christophe Novelli, and food critic Sofia Levin.
You might remember Audra from all the way back in MasterChef Australia Season 4 in 2012 (yes, we’re feeling old too). Her elegant, culturally rich dishes earned her a spot in the top three. And ever since, she’s been hard at work building a global food empire.
Here’s everything you need to know about MasterChef Australia 2025’s Audra.
Who is Masterchef 2025’s Audra Morrice?
If you tuned into MasterChef Australia back in 2012, you’ll likely remember Audra for her warm personality and vibrant fusion dishes that landed her a well-deserved spot in the top three.
Her cooking style is shaped by her Singaporean Chinese-Indian heritage, and she’s known for bold, flavour-packed creations that reflect her multicultural roots.
Since her original season, Audra’s become a staple of the global food scene and the MasterChef franchise.
She’s hosted Tasty Conversations on SBS Food, judged MasterChef Asia and currently fronts MasterChef Singapore as both host and judge.
She also runs a Sydney-based catering business, teaches cooking classes in both Australia and Singapore, and consults for major food and hospitality events, including the Laguna Phuket Food and Music Festival, which drew major props from the Thai tourism board, and even the Governor of Phuket.
Her entrepreneurial side is just as impressive
Audra penned her cookbook My Kitchen, Your Table in 2015 as a celebration of culture and connection through food. In 2018, she followed it up with Cook & Feast.
She’s developed an all-natural, gluten-free product range of goodies like relishes, jams, and mayo, which is stocked online.
She’s also teamed up with Accor Plus to offer guided food tours of Singapore, taking guests far off the tourist trail to explore the local flavours she grew up with.
What was Audra doing before Masterchef Australia?
Before her life-changing stint on MasterChef Austraia, Audra was an account manager at telecommunications company AAPT, with a degree in Economics and Japanese.
At 41, she took the leap, traded in the corporate life, and followed her heart into the kitchen.
N she’s built a global food career, become a household name, and carved out her place in the culinary world. But her return to MasterChef Australia 2025 proves there’s always room for one more dream.
Now, she’s a culinary queen in her own right. But her return to MasterChef Australia 2025 proves there’s always room for one more dream.
Could this finally be her time to take the crown?
