Bribie Island local Stephen Dennis ramped up his cooking skills on season 16 of MasterChef Australia.
While he was eliminated from the show, the 62-year-old was the oldest contestant in this year’s competition and floored the judges every step of the way.
“My wife and her belief in me would probably be my biggest inspiration (to apply for MasterChef),” Stephen says.
Stephen’s love of cooking came from travelling around the world.
“Apart from getting an Australian Woman’s Weekly cookbook, my travel and the different foods I had the opportunity to try (drew me to my love of cooking),” he says.

Cooking at home blossomed into a genuine love for it; contributing to his fruitful journey on MasterChef, to which there were many highlights.
