Season 3[]
Hayden Quinn is a Sydney-born professional lifeguard who has an old-school passion for food, travel and surfing. His food dream drove him to apply for MasterChef Australia season 3 where he refined his cooking skills and food knowledge.
“I’m a professional lifeguard. Being a lifeguard involves a lot of time on the beach, mainly looking after people's safety. On the beach, we get quite a few days where it's slow and on those days it’s a lot about food."
"Cooking for me started off at a pretty young age with mum, she's really been my inspiration for cooking and shes taught me everything I know. Seeing someone enjoy what I've created and cooked for them is the best feeling in the world.”[1]
Season 12[]
One of our most prolific past contestants, Hayden threw himself into the world of food following his first appearance on screens back in 2012. A Bachelor of Science in Marine Biology graduate, Hayden entered the kitchen as a surfie and professional lifeguard and left with a burgeoning culinary career on the horizon.
He has hosted Hayden Quinn South Africa and Surfing the Menu Next Generation on the ABC, but his self-described baby is Taste Of Australia which first aired on Network 10 in February.
The author of cookbooks Dish it Up and Surfing the Menu, Hayden credits his mum Jo-Anne, a home economist, with teaching him the early basics, together enjoying home style cooking competitions against each other in their Northern Beaches home.[2]
