My Kitchen Rules judges Feildel and Fassnidge return for new season

My Kitchen Rules is back with Manu Feildel and Colin Fassnidge returning as co-hosts and judges. The new season is described as exciting, fiery and spicy, with teams cooking menus inspired by Australian comfort food and value.

Feildel's top tip for contestants: stop watching the clock. The more you focus on time pressure, the more stressed and slow you become.

Fassnidge says preparation wins: have a plan B and plan C ready before you start. Teams have already revealed their signature dishes.

One pair is bringing chilli crab shio pan that combines baking, seafood and Indonesian flavours. Another team's standout is Hainanese chicken rice with heritage appeal.

Young mums on the show are cooking dishes like sticky date pudding and birria tacos, bringing their real-life stories of providing for their families to the competition.
