59 years old (Born on July 23, 1965)

Happy Birthday, John! May your celebrations be seasoned just right—just like the dishes you charmingly critique on MasterChef. Your culinary wizardry and cheerful Australian wit have turned every kitchen mishap into entertainment gold; even a soufflé collapse seems delightful under your watchful gaze.

From sizzling pans on ITV’s This Morning to steering taste buds bravely through daring BBC MasterChef challenges, you've thrillingly guided us all in the art of tasty adventures. Here’s wishing another spectacular year full of memorable one-liners, perfectly cooked steaks—and hopefully fewer suspicious puddings!

Cheers, John Torode—to good food, laughter-filled kitchens and timeless television moments!
