The Ten Network is keen for us all to forget about it horrible start to 2014 and to start focusing on it's returning favourites for after Easter and a key part of the strategy is Masterchef Australia.

Australia’s best home cooks will be showcased on this season of MasterChef Australia and two of the hopefuls competing for the illustrious title are Queenslander Emily Loo and West Australia’s Amy Shields.

Emily hits the competition all guns blazing, using spice and all things nice to perfect her dish. But will it be enough to impress George, Gary and Matt? View a sneak peak of Emily here.

Amy has years of cooking experience but seems far from under control when it comes to the crunch. If there is one thing she must not do in the MasterChef Australia kitchen, it is give up. Meet Amy by clicking here.

Tune in to see if Emily or Amy make it past the audition round and through to the Top 24 of MasterChef Australia in 2014.

MasterChef Australia. Returning Soon to TEN.
