Janelle and Monzir were pretty confident going into the competition.  “Our first dish in the competition after we got that ten” explained Janelle, that’s “when we thought we had a chance.”  The NSW couple brought a unique mix of Sudanese and Turkish cuisines to the competition, blowing the judges and guests away with their delicious meals.

And it was the process of sharing and cooking traditional family recipes that made their relationships stronger. The couple made the surprising admission at the beginning of the season that their families didn't know they were dating, but, after their relatives joined the grand final Monzir thinks Janelle has “become my mum's favourite,” explaining that they connected through shared recipes.

Once the cameras stopped rolling for the finale the family introductions didn't stop! Janelle reveal that she introduced Monzir to her grandparents, “that was a huge moment” she explained.  “I've never introduced anyone to my grandparents and they all got along so well.”
