With two Western Australia teams on this season of My Kitchen Rules, there’ll be double the screen time for our State when locals Hannah & Lawrence and Mike & Pete open their home kitchens. Dangling the carrot of a marriage proposal should they win it all, the outgoing Hannah reckons she’s a fine compliment to her jack-of-all-trades cooking partner. “I’m like a cooking tornado — high energy, good instincts, and absolutely zero chill.
Seriously, I don’t know how to sit still,” she said. “I’m either cooking, doing something, or talking about doing something. Sometimes all three at once! Engineer Lawrence believes he’s Hannah’s “calm in the storm”.
“We’ve got an incredible balance of energy and insight!” he said. No stranger to the cameras, Hannah was a contestant on 2020’s Big Brother and believes cooking should be a “piece of cake” after that whirlwind experience. Her beau has featured in several TV ads and is sprinkling the finishing touches on his feature film.
With Lawrence a recipe follower and Hannah a little less measured, it’s anyone’s guess how they’ll perform when the heat is turned up. After decades of friendship, WA’s second group of competitors in Mike and Pete feel “more like family than friends” as they prepare to carve up the kitchen. Describing himself as warm and generous, Mike’s personality is a lot like his go-to dish of creamy pasta pesto when entertaining guests at home.
On the road filming for three mont.
