For us 90s kids, and anyone else who watched telly, MasterChef Australia was synonymous with gastronomic adventures. With contestants from different parts of the world it was a gateway to global cuisine. And what made MasterChef Australia a core childhood memory were the three judges, Matt Preston, Gary Mehigan, and George Calombaris. From mystery box challenges, to engaging in light-hearted banter with contestants, the trio has long left the reality show and are charting their own path.
Preston, Mehigan, and Calombaris were in India last week for their three-city tour with Conosh, a Bengaluru-based platform that became a sensation for their online culinary classes featuring celebrity chefs. After conducting ticketed pop-up dinners and masterclasses in New Delhi and Mumbai, they were in Bengaluru, their final destination. Mehigan and Preston sat down with us for a hearty conversation about food and their unique culinary experiences in India.
