We know that you are as mad about cooking as we are, which is why we are super excited to announce our partnership with MasterChef's Kelsey Murphy! US Season 11 winner Kelsey will be sharing home-cook adaptations of her winning MasterChef recipes as well as some new creations with us here!

Born and raised Chicago girl Kelsey currently lives in Indianapolis with her husband and three kids. She specialises in Modern American Cuisine inspired by her background growing up in an Italian and Polish family where food was always a focus and large Sunday dinners were a tradition never to be missed. Through the years she has continued to teach herself new techniques and experiment with flavours for her family.

A frontrunner throughout the series, she created no less than 20 dishes in challenges presented by some of the biggest names in the culinary world. Kelsey's winning creations in the final were steak tartare canape, lobster/crab ravioli appetizer, crispy-skinned duck entrée and a blueberry lavender panna cotta dessert. She focuses on respecting ingredients for what they are, letting each shine on the plate, and bringing together flavors from many American cultures.

The ultimate party food for those who love to entertain that are strapped for time. Season 11 Winner Kelsey Murphy’s Pulled Chicken Tacos draw upon convenience based appliances to create a texture-rich small plates for all to enjoy. As many home cook’s know, the desire for flavour-intensive food is often outweighed by other life obligations.
