Colin Fassnidge and Manu Feildel team up for new show

<p>With the 2024 season of <em>My Kitchen Rules</em> coming to a close, Colin Fassnidge and Manu Feildel have teamed up for a brand new show. </p> <p>At their annual Upfronts event, Channel Seven announced that the pair will host a show called <em>Off The Grid</em> in 2025.</p> <p>Speaking exclusively to <a href="https://au.lifestyle.yahoo.com/mkrs-colin-fassnidge-announces-new-series-with-manu-feildel-in-2025-044819605.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><em>Yahoo Lifestyle</em></a>, Colin reveals that the series is an “off-the-beaten-path food adventure” where he and Manu travel around New Zealand for a month in a caravan.</p> <p>“We did the North Island and the South Island, and it was sort of like a chef’s dream scenario where you get to shoot, fish and hunt,” he details. “We did a lot of cooking with the Māori people, Manu and I got tattoos which wasn’t planned, I managed to split my head open - you’ll have to watch the series for that one.”</p> <p>The Irish chef explains that <em>Off The Grid</em> was a long time in the making, and was filmed “a few months ago” in between production for <em>MKR Australia</em> and <em>MKR New Zealand</em>.</p> <p>“We’ve been talking to Seven about it for years, just getting on the road,” he shares. “Manu had an idea to do a thing called ‘A Big Lap Around Australia’ and no one wanted to do it, but when we were in New Zealand I said, ‘We should do it in a caravan’. It was Manu’s idea, but I made it better."</p> <p>“We saw this little caravan in the garden one day when we were shooting <em>MKR</em> over there and we said, ‘Wouldn't it be great to do it in a 1960s caravan?’. We sent it to the producer of Screentime in New Zealand, who works very closely with Channel Seven, and he said, ‘Let’s make it happen’, and then Seven jumped on board.”</p> <p><em>Off The Grid</em> is set to air early next year on Channel Seven before the fifteenth season of <em>MKR</em> premieres, with Colin saying, “I’ve just seen the teaser for it and it looks amazing.”</p> <p><em>Image credits: Instagram</em></p>

"This guy hates my guts and I hate his": Manu Feildel spills on his feud with Colin Fassnidge

<p>Manu Feildel and Colin Fassnidge have opened up about their long-running feud that began when the pair started working together on <em>My Kitchen Rules</em>.</p> <p>On Wednesday night's episode of the popular cooking show, Manu revealed to the contestants how the judges "hated" each other's "guts" when they started filming the show together in 2014. </p> <p>Their feud began when Colin accused Manu of "selling out" by joining the TV show. </p> <p>Manu opened up about their previous dislike for one another, after contestants Amber and Mel explained that the name of their restaurant, Salty Secrets, was meant to encourage their fellow <em>MKR</em> contestants to share little-known facts about themselves.</p> <p>“Do you want to hear about salty secrets from us?” Manu asked the table.</p> <blockquote class="instagram-media" style="background: #FFF; border: 0; border-radius: 3px; box-shadow: 0 0 1px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.5),0 1px 10px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.15); margin: 1px; max-width: 540px; min-width: 326px; padding: 0; width: calc(100% - 2px);" data-instgrm-permalink="https://www.instagram.com/reel/CxaP02IBB8q/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;utm_campaign=loading" data-instgrm-version="14"> <div style="padding: 16px;"> <div style="display: flex; flex-direction: row; align-items: center;"> <div style="background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 50%; flex-grow: 0; height: 40px; margin-right: 14px; width: 40px;"> </div> <div style="display: flex; flex-direction: column; flex-grow: 1; justify-content: center;"> <div style="background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 4px; flex-grow: 0; height: 14px; margin-bottom: 6px; width: 100px;"> </div> <div style="background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 4px; flex-grow: 0; height: 14px; width: 60px;"> </div> </div> </div> <div style="padding: 19% 0;"> </div> <div style="display: block; height: 50px; margin: 0 auto 12px; width: 50px;"> </div> <div style="padding-top: 8px;"> <div style="color: #3897f0; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-style: normal; font-weight: 550; line-height: 18px;">View this post on Instagram</div> </div> <div style="padding: 12.5% 0;"> </div> <div style="display: flex; flex-direction: row; margin-bottom: 14px; align-items: center;"> <div> <div style="background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 50%; height: 12.5px; width: 12.5px; transform: translateX(0px) translateY(7px);"> </div> <div style="background-color: #f4f4f4; height: 12.5px; transform: rotate(-45deg) translateX(3px) translateY(1px); width: 12.5px; flex-grow: 0; margin-right: 14px; margin-left: 2px;"> </div> <div style="background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 50%; height: 12.5px; width: 12.5px; transform: translateX(9px) translateY(-18px);"> </div> </div> <div style="margin-left: 8px;"> <div style="background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 50%; flex-grow: 0; height: 20px; width: 20px;"> </div> <div style="width: 0; height: 0; border-top: 2px solid transparent; border-left: 6px solid #f4f4f4; border-bottom: 2px solid transparent; transform: translateX(16px) translateY(-4px) rotate(30deg);"> </div> </div> <div style="margin-left: auto;"> <div style="width: 0px; border-top: 8px solid #F4F4F4; border-right: 8px solid transparent; transform: translateY(16px);"> </div> <div style="background-color: #f4f4f4; flex-grow: 0; height: 12px; width: 16px; transform: translateY(-4px);"> </div> <div style="width: 0; height: 0; border-top: 8px solid #F4F4F4; border-left: 8px solid transparent; transform: translateY(-4px) translateX(8px);"> </div> </div> </div> <div style="display: flex; flex-direction: column; flex-grow: 1; justify-content: center; margin-bottom: 24px;"> <div style="background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 4px; flex-grow: 0; height: 14px; margin-bottom: 6px; width: 224px;"> </div> <div style="background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 4px; flex-grow: 0; height: 14px; width: 144px;"> </div> </div> <p style="color: #c9c8cd; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 17px; margin-bottom: 0; margin-top: 8px; overflow: hidden; padding: 8px 0 7px; text-align: center; text-overflow: ellipsis; white-space: nowrap;"><a style="color: #c9c8cd; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: 17px; text-decoration: none;" href="https://www.instagram.com/reel/CxaP02IBB8q/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;utm_campaign=loading" target="_blank" rel="noopener">A post shared by MKR (@mykitchenrules)</a></p> </div> </blockquote> <p>“The salty secret is Colin and I started on the wrong foot.

Manu Feildel and Kyle Sandilands pop off in tense exchange

<p dir="ltr">Kyle Sandilands and Manu Feildel went head-to-head in a tense exchange about new <em>My Kitchen Rules </em>judge, Nigella Lawson.</p> <p dir="ltr">The shock jock questioned Manu as to why Nigella wouldn’t agree to doing an interview with him and help promote the show.</p> <p dir="ltr">“What’s her problem? Apparently I hear, correct me if I’m wrong producers, the network is upset because Nigella’s said ‘no way, you’re not going on that filthy show’. Our show. How does that happen?” Kyle asked. </p> <p dir="ltr">A confused Manu was shocked to hear the claims and told Kyle he was not sure as to why Nigella would not agree to an interview, explaining this is the first time he’s heard of it. </p> <p dir="ltr">“I have no idea, that’s news to me buddy. I will make sure she talks to you next time,” he responded.</p> <p dir="ltr">But that was not a good enough excuse for Kyle who continued his rampage against the wrong person.</p> <p dir="ltr">“How am I meant to support you when the woman besides you loathes the thought of me?” he asked.</p> <p dir="ltr">“I think she’s amazing, she’s the queen but when you find out someone doesn’t like you, you can’t  help but not like someone back.”</p> <p dir="ltr">Manu’s voice changed and he made it clear that he was uncomfortable about the subject, requesting that they speak about <em>My Kitchen Rules</em>. </p> <p dir="ltr">“I think you’re just being upset for no reason. Let’s not get upset guys.”</p> <p dir="ltr">“I think he’s embarrassed that his co-worker let him down,” Kyle told Jackie O. </p> <p dir="ltr">Jackie O did not want anything to do with the conversation and said “maybe he [Manu] was sick of talking about it [Nigella]”. </p> <p dir="ltr">“Who gives a s**t what he's sick and tired of talking about!” Kyle shot back. </p> <p dir="ltr">“I like Manu, I like the show, he can come on but I am very shocked about the Nigella thing. That’s a real slap to the face.”</p> <p dir="ltr">Kyle then asked Manu to “sort out” Nigella’s management before the conversation slowly ended. </p> <p dir="ltr"><em>My Kitchen Rules airs on Channel 7 on Sunday August 7 at 7pm. </em></p> <p dir="ltr"><em>Images: Instagram</em></p>

Colin Fassnidge addresses his feud with Manu Feildel

<p>Colin Fassnidge has spilled on his past feuds with fellow celebrity chefs Manu Feildel and Miguel Maestre.</p> <p>On I'm A Celebrity … Get Me Out Of Here!, Fassnidge said he used to "fight everybody" as he tried to make a name for himself as a chef.</p> <p>“Me and Miguel didn’t get on, me and Manu didn’t get on,” he told camp mate Grant Denyer.</p> <p>“I don’t know. We just never stopped fighting.”</p> <p>Fassnidge revealed his feud with Feildel came to a head when he joined My Kitchen Rules in 2015.</p> <p>“When I did<span> </span><em>MKR</em>, they knew me and Manu didn’t get on because we’d had Twitter wars and all this sh*t,” he explained. “First day on set I was like, ‘oh f**k,’ it’s his baby, he’s the Daddy of the show.’ I walk on and they’re like, ‘This is the new guy,’ and he’s like, ‘f**k this.’”</p> <p>Fassnidge claimed Feildel immediately pulled an "alpha" move and said to him: “Well buddy, welcome to my home. If there’s anything you need, I’ll tell you how to do it.”</p> <p>But as the end of the season approached, Fassnidge decided to end the feud once and for all.</p> <p>“I just went into his dressing room and said, ‘Mate, I apologise for whatever.’ And he’s like, that’s it, buried it,” Fassnidge said. “Same with Miguel.”</p> <p>The three chefs have since become good friends.</p> <p>“All the wives hang out, the kids hang out … we’re like, ‘Why did we waste so long getting to know each other?’” Fassnidge said.</p>

Australia's Got Talent backlash: Manu Feildel hits back at online trolls about his new role

<p>Manu Feildel has been chosen as one of the judges for the reality TV show <em>Australia’s Got Talent</em>, but it has not come without criticism, with many Aussies disagreeing the chef has any qualifications to judge a talent show. </p> <p><span>The criticism got under Manu’s skin so much, he spoke to </span><a rel="noopener" href="https://tvtonight.com.au/2019/07/manu-puzzled-by-reaction-to-australias-got-talent-judging.html" target="_blank">TV Tonight</a><span> about the matter, and it’s clear that he thinks his three years of experience in the circus and 15 years of presenting on TV is enough.</span></p> <p>“A lot of people have asked me that question ['Why you?']  … and I say why not?” he told TV Tonight.</p> <p>“I was really chuffed Channel Seven would consider me for the role.</p> <p>“It doesn’t bother me, but I don’t understand why they’re asking the question. I get both ‘Oh my god, that’s amazing’ or ‘Why you?’ But my reply is, 'Why not?'</p> <p>“I’m a chef by trade, which I’ve done for 30 years but I’ve also done TV for 15.</p> <p>“I thought it would be a great chance for me and fun to do. It’s worked out well.”</p> <p><span>“A food critic has no experience in running a restaurant, cooked or carried a plate in a restaurant. What’s their background? How can they judge restaurants? A lot of actors in America write cookbooks and I find that funny,” he suggests.</span></p> <p>“I think we’re allowed to do what we want to be doing.

We didn’t see each other for another three months, then had some lunch. The rest is history.”</p> <p>But what sealed the deal was Clarissa’s knowledge in the kitchen. The chef is known to love sauce accompanying meals and after tasting one of her creations, he knew he had found the one.</p> <p>“Clarissa ticked all the boxes – and that was the biggest box. I was like, thank God! She loves eating and she loves cooking – she’s perfect!” He told the<span> </span><em>Australian Women’s Weekly</em>.</p> <p>Madly in love, the<span> </span><em>Australia’s Got Talent</em><span> </span>judge asked Clarissa to marry him in 2013, and the couple then welcomed their daughter Charlee in 2015.</p> <p>Before Clarissa, Manu was in a 12-year relationship with Ronnie Moreshead whom he shares a son Jonti with.</p> <p>After being engaged for four long years, the couple tied the knot in 2018 in what Manu describes as a “beautiful intimate ceremony”.</p> <p>He took to Instagram to share the happy news.</p> <blockquote style="background: #FFF; border: 0; border-radius: 3px; box-shadow: 0 0 1px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.5),0 1px 10px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.15); margin: 1px; max-width: 540px; min-width: 326px; padding: 0; width: calc(100% - 2px);" class="instagram-media" data-instgrm-captioned="" data-instgrm-permalink="https://www.instagram.com/p/BehblRUF_Xc/" data-instgrm-version="12"> <div style="padding: 16px;"> <div style="display: flex; flex-direction: row; align-items: center;"> <div style="background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 50%; flex-grow: 0; height: 40px; margin-right: 14px; width: 40px;"></div> <div style="display: flex; flex-direction: column; flex-grow: 1; justify-content: center;"> <div style="background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 4px; flex-grow: 0; height: 14px; margin-bottom: 6px; width: 100px;"></div> <div style="background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 4px; flex-grow: 0; height: 14px; width: 60px;"></div> </div> </div> <div style="padding: 19% 0;"></div> <div style="display: block; height: 50px; margin: 0 auto 12px; width: 50px;"></div> <div style="padding-top: 8px;"> <div style="color: #3897f0; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-style: normal; font-weight: 550; line-height: 18px;">View this post on Instagram</div> </div> <p style="margin: 8px 0 0 0; padding: 0 4px;"><a style="color: #000; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: 17px; text-decoration: none; word-wrap: break-word;" rel="noopener" href="https://www.instagram.com/p/BehblRUF_Xc/" target="_blank">I’ve often said don’t believe what you read in the press but now you hear it from the horses mouth, yes it’s true I am married!

Manu Feildel reveals his expert tips on cooking the perfect eggs

<p>Whether they’re poached, boiled, fried, baked or scrambled, eggs can be one of the most delicious meals of choice. Eggs are jam packed full of nutrients, versatile and full of flavour. There are some common mistakes people make, that are easy to fix. Australian Eggs ambassador and celebrity chef, Manu Feildel shares his expert tips on cooking the perfect eggs at home – boiled, poached or baked!</p> <p><strong>Common mistakes when cooking poached eggs</strong></p> <ul> <li>Using old eggs – When poaching eggs freshest is always best. Older eggs will have whites that are quite runny, which means they won’t hold together as well in the water. Test an egg for freshness by gently placing into a bowl of water. If it lies on its side it is quite fresh; if it stands on end it is less fresh; and if it floats, it is stale or most likely bad.</li> <li>Cracking the egg straight into the water – Always crack your egg into a small bowl before tipping it gently into the water, as this will help it keep its shape in the water.</li> <li>Poaching them in saltwater – Add a little vinegar to your poaching water, this will help the white to firm up and hold together in a nice round shape. Never add salt to your poaching water; the salt breaks down the protein.</li> <li>Having the water too cold or too hot – If the water is too hot and bubbly it will cause even the freshest egg to tear apart. The trick is to have the water at a gentle simmer around 90˚C, to gently cook through with light bubbles that massage the white to surround the yolk.</li> </ul> <p><strong>Common mistakes when cooking boiled eggs</strong></p> <ul> <li>Dropping the eggs into the water – The delicate shell needs to be treated with soft hands. The best way is to add your eggs is one at a time, using a pasta spoon or slotted spoon.</li> <li>Cooking the eggs with an off-centre yolk – If your eggs aren’t super fresh and you want to have your yolks in the centre when cooked, gently swirl them in the pot of water for a minute or two.</li> <li>Over-crowding the pot – It is best to add just enough eggs for one layer.</li> <li>Adding the eggs to rapidly boiling water – If the water is too bubbly the eggs will bounce around causing the shell to crack and white to escape. Gently add your eggs to warm water, place over a medium heat to bring to a simmer and then reduce heat to maintain a gentle simmer until they are cooked.</li> <li>Leaving your eggs in hot water after they have come off the heat – To prevent that dark grey ring on the yolk of your boiled eggs, remove the eggs from the boiling water once cooked, plunge immediately into very cold water and lightly crack each shell a little on one side.</li> <li>Peeling your eggs too soon – To ensure your shell comes off cleanly, cool your eggs in cold water, this will cause the whites to slightly contract and pull away from the white skin between the egg white and the shell.</li> </ul> <p><strong>More eggscellent tips from Manu Feildel</strong></p> <ul> <li>Always cook on low to medium heat – One of the keys to getting the perfect eggs every time is cooking them at the right temperature. Eggs are delicate and require a gentle heat regardless of how you’re cooking them.</li> <li>Use room temperature eggs when baking – Room temperature eggs will always give better results with baked goods. A quick hack is to pop the eggs into a bowl of warm water (not hot) and allow them to stand for a few minutes.</li> <li>Old eggs vs. fresh eggs for meringues – Older egg whites at room temperature are easier to whip and give a little more volume, but they also have larger bubbles and the foam needs to be used straight way. This makes them great when making macaroons and meringues! Fresh cold egg whites need a little more whipping but have smaller bubbles with a more uniform texture, which is great for pavlova.</li> </ul> <p><em>For more inspiration for cooking with eggs, please visit the Australian Eggs website at </em><a href="https://www.australianeggs.org.au/facts-and-tips/how-to-videos/"><em>this link</em></a><em>.</em></p>

Manu Feildel’s secret to creating perfect scrambled eggs

<p><span>Scrambled eggs have been described as one of the easiest recipes to learn – however, some finesse is still required to cook up this breakfast staple. A few fail-safe tricks will help you get the light, fluffy eggs you’re looking for.</span></p> <p><em><span>My Kitchen Rules</span></em><span> star and celebrity chef Manu Feildel has shared his professional recipe and tips on getting the perfect scrambled eggs.</span></p> <p><span>Below is the guide to making scrambled eggs, Manu-style.</span></p> <p><strong><span>Ingredients:</span></strong></p> <ul> <li><span>2-3 large eggs</span></li> <li><span>Butter</span></li> <li><span>Sea salt</span></li> <li><span>Pepper</span></li> <li><span>Toasts and herbs (optional)</span></li> </ul> <p><strong><span>Directions:</span></strong></p> <ol> <li><span> Whisk 2-3 whole eggs with 20-30mls milk and a good pinch of sea salt and pepper.</span></li> <li><span> Heat a medium frying pan over a low heat, add a knob of butter and when foaming, pour in the eggs and leave for 60-90 seconds to begin to set.</span></li> <li><span> Gently pull the egg from the edges, into the centre of the pan. Turn and tilt the pan so the runny egg takes up the available space and runs off the set egg – this gentle pulling will make egg “ribbons”.</span></li> <li><span> Remove the pan from the heat before the egg is completely set. Leave to sit for a minute or two, this will let the egg gently finish cooking in its own heat. </span></li> <li><span> To serve, place on top of 1-2 pieces of well buttered toast and finish with a sprinkle of fresh herbs if desired.</span></li> </ol> <p><strong><span>Avoid common egg-cooking mistakes with these tips:</span></strong></p> <ul> <li>Don’t let your pan get too hot. If the pan is too hot, the eggs will cook too quickly, burn and have a rubbery texture rather than be lovely and light.</li> <li>Don’t be rough and move the eggs too much – light, gentle movement will help the eggs stay light and not break up.</li> <li>Don’t overcook the eggs – this will also make them tough and rubbery. Remove them from the heat when still a little wet in places. The residual heat from the pan and the eggs will finish cooking them through.</li> </ul> <p><strong>Want to take your eggs to the next level? Here are some of Manu’s ideas:</strong></p> <ul> <li><span> For more decadent eggs, you can keep six or so eggs in a glass jar with a piece of truffle. This will infuse the eggs with the truffle flavour, then, finely grate some of the truffle over the eggs just before serving</span></li> <li><span> For cheesy eggs, pour the egg mix into the pan and leave to cook for 60-90 seconds then scatter with your favourite grated cheese and continue the cooking process. Serve with hot buttered toast and sliced ham or crispy speck</span></li> <li><span> For Asian style eggs, add 20ml of water and 10ml of light soy sauce instead of milk to the eggs and finish with Japanese mayonnaise, crispy shallots and a squeeze of sriracha or a drizzle of chilli oil.</span></li> </ul> <p><span>Will you try out these tips? Let us know in the comments below.</span></p> <p><em>Recipe courtesy of <a href="https://www.australianeggs.org.au/facts-and-tips/how-to-videos/">Australian Eggs</a>.</em></p>

“So disappointed right now”: Manu Feildel blasts MKR villains after epic cooking fail

<p><em>My Kitchen Rules</em> judge Manu Feildel lashed out on this season’s controversial contestants after they failed to cook up a dish worth serving on Sunday night’s episode.</p> <p>Josh and Austin, titled as “NSW Home Schooled Brothers” have proved to be this season’s villains after their less-than-favourable comments towards other contestants.</p> <p>After mocking their rivals over their appearance and cooking, people expected the two to whip up a dish worth a Michelin star.</p> <p>The menu included clam chowder with homemade bread for entrée, chicken lollipops with garlic mash for main and lemon curd domes for dessert.</p> <p>“I think we’re definitely a massive threat to a lot of people,” said Austin at the beginning of the episode. That claim was proven wrong.</p> <p>The entrée was not what anyone expected, with Pete Evans saying, “I’m really struggling to find anything that I like about this dish”.</p> <p>The main was supposed to be the redeeming dish for the brothers, but after making their guests wait for four hours due to trouble in the kitchen, Manu decided to unleash on the pair.</p> <p>“I’m so disappointed right now,” Manu said. “You’ve been sitting around this table treating people … telling them their food’s terrible and you’re not even capable of coming back with the goods.”</p> <blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-lang="en-gb"> <p dir="ltr">Manu.

This is ridiculous,” said Manu. “I’ve never expressed myself like this in 10 years!”</p> <p>After the feud, Pete sent the boys back into the kitchen, warning them to deliver a perfect dessert.</p> <p>“And not in two hours otherwise I’m going home,” threatened Manu.</p> <p>Thankfully, Josh and Austin’s lemon curd dome was the redeeming factor of the night.</p> <p>“Best dish of the night, but not perfect either,” said Manu.</p> <p>Unsurprisingly, the NSW brothers were pushed right down to the bottom of the leader board after receiving a mere 31 points out of a possible 130.</p> <p>They will now verse Karito and Ian to save their spot in the show. </p> <p><span>Have you been watching <em>MKR</em>? Who is your favourite team? Tell us in the comments below. </span></p>
