Do you remember Chloe from the 2018 season of MasterChef Australia?

Many will remember Chloe taking on one of the show's toughest pressure tests, recreating the famous Sherried Marron dish by Dinner by Heston's Ashley Palmer-Watts. With an incredible 90 steps and just 4 hours and 45 minutes to complete it, it was a challenge that tested even the most skilled home cooks!

Today, Chloe is still sharing her passion for food and nutrition, working as a Nutritionist with OzHarvest's NEST (Nutrition Education Skills Training) program.

NEST is a free, fun and friendly six-week program that helps adults learn about healthy eating, meal planning, and easy, affordable cooking skills that can be used every day.

We're excited to welcome Chloe and learn from her wealth of knowledge and experience.
