Steph de Sousa
Passionate about bringing people together with food
Steph de Sousa graced our screens on ‘MasterChef’ Series 11 in 2019. Her warm, affectionate motherly personality was infectious.
Steph’s cooking is all about food that brings people together. She very quickly became known for her ability to think under pressure, Matt Preston fondly referred to her as ‘MacGyver’. She impressed the judges immensely throughout the competition, one of their favourites was her beef vindaloo, which they claimed was the best they had ever had.
Inspired by Maggie Beer, Rick Stein and Sri Lankan Peter Kuruvita, Steph also holds a special place for Stephanie Alexander.
For mother of four Steph De Sousa, there is nothing like cooking beautiful, wholesome and flavoursome food for those she loves. And it’s this passion she hopes to turn into her food dream, creating a place just like “going to Mum’s for dinner” while also hosting cooking classes and demonstrations.
