Family Dynamics in the Kitchen
Tilly Ramsay, at the young age of 22, is no stranger to the world of television cooking shows.

Transitioning from competitor to judge, Tilly faces new challenges in her role on MasterChef Junior. Understanding the pressures of competition, especially from her stint on ‘Strictly Come Dancing’ and ‘Celebrity MasterChef Australia,’ she empathizes deeply with the young contestants. Tilly finds it tough to send participants home, remembering her own early days in the kitchen. However, the overall experience is enriching, as she learns from the contestants and her fellow judges, Aarón Sánchez and Daphne Oz. Their collective expertise and encouragement aim to inspire the next generation of chefs.
