A Gluten Free Podcast
Episode 23
Today, I’m excited to welcome Melanie Persson, a MasterChef Australia contestant and passionate gluten-free cook. Melanie shares how her coeliac diagnosis six years ago shifted her relationship with food and sparked a new culinary journey.
We’ll talk about her experience on MasterChef Australia, the challenges and triumphs of adapting to gluten-free cooking, and the incredible community she’s connected with along the way. Melanie’s mission is to prove that gluten-free food can be just as bold, delicious, and creative as any other cuisine — and she’s determined to inspire others by sharing her skills and recipes.
A proud Western Australian, Melanie is already dreaming big about publishing cookbooks that showcase beautiful, flavour-packed gluten-free dishes — ones that never compromise on taste or complexity.
