Lachlan Whittle MasterChef Australia
Lachlan Whittle is a contestant on the 16th season of MasterChef Australia on Channel 10 and 10 Play. He revealed the news on Instagram: “Never did I think that loving, cooking, travel and eating food would bring me here! I am so excited to announce that I will be on the new season of #MasterChefAU.”
Lachlan is motivated to make his mark on the competition for his young daughter and to leave a legacy that makes her proud. Thinking constantly about food, Lachlan wants his life to revolve around it, with an intent to soak up knowledge, and learn from the judges and guest chefs to take his cooking to the highest level.
Having learnt to cook over fire on holidays by the beach growing up, Lochy’s Dad Gary is a great home cook who taught him and fostered his love of cooking. Lochy knows his strength in the competition will be his ability to balance sweet, sour, fat and acid.
Inspired by his travels, including trips to Europe, Vietnam and Mexico and his time spent living in London, Charleston and Detroit, Lochy loves recreating big flavours at home, street tacos are a fave, like a flavour bomb going off in your mouth!
Motivated by cooking shows and YouTube, Lochy also has a collection of around 40 cookbooks, and looks up to an eclectic mix of chefs including Anthony Bourdain, Matty Matheson, Charlie Carrington and Lennox Hastie.
His dream is to open a restaurant that speaks to his love of botany, with a kitchen garden in an indoor/outdoor jungle and a constantly rotating menu.
