Plate of Origin was an Australian competitive cooking game show broadcast on the Seven Network. Celebrity chef Manu Feildel hosts the series alongside former MasterChef Australia judges chef Gary Mehigan and food critic Matt Preston.[1] The series is described as "The World Cup of Cooking" or "Country of Origin on a Plate"', with teams competing by cooking international food cuisines.[2][3]

The series was originally conceived and marketed as a spin-off edition of successful cooking game show My Kitchen Rules but was later developed as a separate program.[4] It was originally scheduled to air following the 2020 Summer Olympics, but was slightly delayed due to the postponement of the Olympic Games because of the COVID-19 pandemic.[5] The pandemic also impacted production, resulting in a lower than expected number of episodes being completed.[6]

The series aired over four weeks, which began on Sunday, 30 August 2020 at 7:00pm.[7] The series finale aired on Tuesday, 22 September 2020.[8] Despite elevated expectations and the high profile of the judges, the series was a ratings disappointment.[9][10][8] Seven axed the show after one season.[11][12]
