MasterChef Australia Season 9 Contestants

MasterChef Australia season 9 has some very young hopefuls. There’s 18-year-old Callan Smith, who swayed the judges with the fabulous flavors of his dish. Gary Mehigan is so impressed that he has predicted Smith’s popularity even before the show has begun!

Then, comes 19-year-old Michelle who piqued the judges’ curiosity with her mysterious “golden ball” dish. The judges are in awe when they discover what’s inside the golden ball. Each one of the 24 contestants has successfully impressed the judges in the MasterChef Australia auditions with their brilliance.

Also joining the budding chefs are Melbourne’s Jess Butler, 29 and Pia Gava, 49.

But was she successful in impressing the judges?

On the other hand, contracts officer, Pia Gava, decided to play to her strength by making a simple Italian dish called gnocchi. But has Gava’s classic dish stand a chance and make an impression? To know all of these, stay tuned to Channel 10, where MasterChef Australia season 9 will air on May 1st. MasterChef Australia Season 9 Episode 1 will be about auditions.
