Who is MasterChef’s Delia Asser?
Delia-Maria Asser is a 28-year-old police officer, originally from Basildon, Essex.
She now lives in Kent with her police officer hubby, Christopher.
Delia’s mother is Spanish and so she would travel to Spain every year to visit family. This has inspired lots of her dishes on Masterchef so far.

Delia has definitely had an enviable travel past!
She studied Arabic, Spanish, Catalan and French at Durham University and then used her language skills to travel the world.

These travel influences are clear in her cooking.
