Snezana Calic is a passionate home cook, two-time MasterChef Australia contestant (2025 & 2024), and proud mum of two, known for her flavour-packed comfort food inspired by her Balkan heritage and Mediterranean influences.

Born in Croatia, raised in Serbia, and now based in Melbourne, Snezana’s recipes are rooted in childhood memories of slow-cooked meals, fresh produce, and homemade traditional dishes passed down through generations. Her cooking philosophy is simple: fresh, seasonal, minimally processed ingredients - and a whole lot of heart.

Drawing on her background in finance and former career as a Relationship Manager, Snezana brings a practical lens to the kitchen—creating healthy, budget-friendly meals that are as accessible as they are delicious. Her style resonates with busy Australian families who want to enjoy wholesome food without the fuss.

Her content, reaching over 2.3 million people in the past month, features easy-to-follow recipes, clever kitchen hacks, and nostalgic dishes that bring people together.

Currently working on her debut cookbook celebrating Mediterranean and Serbian-style recipes, Snez is a warm, charismatic presence on screen, on stage, and beyond. She’s available for brand collaborations, recipe development, media opportunities, cooking demos, hosting, and television work.

Whether she’s plating up tradition or creating comfort food from scratch, Snez is proudly bringing the flavours of her heritage to a new generation of Australian food lovers.
