About guest chef Bella Jakubiak:
Bella Jakubiak first graced the screens with her sister Sammy on the second season on My Kitchen Rules in 2011. Inspired by generations of women who pass their tradition of love through food, the duo wanted to share their cultural heritage with the Australian audience, and went on to win the second series.
Since then, Bella has worked as resident chef on The Morning Show, and has kept busy as the home cooking expert for Lifestyle Food, and produced and hosted her own TV show Kitchen Rescue which aired on Channel 10 and on Netflix Internationally.
But it’s not media that drives this passionate foodie. Bella states: “I love to eat, but more important than that, I love to feed!”
