Clarissa Feildel is a proud home cook and preparing traditional meals has always been close to her heart. But being married to My Kitchen Rules judge Manu Feildel has meant learning how to share the kitchen at home with a professionally trained chef, which hasn’t always been easy. “It was not very good at the beginning when we first met,” Clarissa told 7NEWS.com.au. But after years of cooking together, the culinary pair have learnt to complement each other in the kitchen. She previously worked in marketing and PR but cooking has always been with her — even before she met Manu.
