From MasterChef to The Great Australian Bake Off and Snackmasters, there's no shortage of cooking shows on Aussie TV. Of course, the genre wouldn't be complete without one of the longest-running fan favourites there is, My Kitchen Rules, and fans can officially celebrate because it returns in 2023.
Here's everything we know so far about My Kitchen Rules 2023.

Who Are The Judges?
The My Kitchen Rules judging lineup has had a shakeup in recent years, but original judge Manu Feildel will return to MKR in 2023. He will be joined by Colin Fassnidge and Nigella Lawson.
Feildel and Pete Evans had been the judges of My Kitchen Rules since season 1 in 2010, but in 2022, Feildel was joined by British cooking royalty, Lawson. After appearing for the first half of the season, Lawson returned to the UK and former MasterChef Australia judge Matt Preston took over as a judge.
Fassnidge, who has been a guest judge on MKR over the years, returned to do just that, while Curtis Stone also appeared as a guest judge.
Who Is In The Cast?
The cast of My Kitchen Rules consists of six teams of two from different states/territories across Australia who will compete to be named Australia's best home cooks. The cast and judges will visit each team's home to taste their customised menus.
Tammy, 30 and Rach, 30 — Just Friends (WA)
Sonia, 53 and Marcus, 23 — Mother & Son (SA)
Radha, 26 and Prabha, 26 — Identical Twins (NSW)
Coco, 31 and Pearls, 36 — Feisty Friends (NSW)
Nick, 36 and Christian, 34 — Food Maestros (VIC)

What Is The Air Date?
My Kitchen Rules will premiere on Monday, September 4 at 7:30pm on Channel 7 and 7plus. It's just one of the many shows in an exciting reality TV lineup for Channel 7 that includes Australian Idol, Big Brother: House Of Love and The Voice Australia.

Where Is It Filmed?
My Kitchen Rules is filmed all across Australia, as it takes viewers inside the kitchens of everyday Australians. The cast and crew travel to each team's actual home to taste their menus, giving it a much more personalised feel compared to the studio kitchen we see on cooking shows such as MasterChef.
What Is The Prize?
There is a $100,000 cash prize up for grabs for the winners of MKR. Couple Janelle and Monzir nabbed the large sum when they won the 2022 season.
