'MasterChef' winner Kate Bracks: 'I don't want to be a chef'

Kate Bracks has revealed that she doesn't want to be a chef.

The 36-year-old mother from Orange in New South Wales, who was recently crowned Australia's MasterChef 2011, said that all she wants to do is run a sleepy B&B in her hometown because the idea of writing a cookbook terrifies her.

Bracks told Woman's Day magazine: "I have an underlying dream of owning a bed-and-breakfast. I look at what [past winners] Adam Liaw and Julie Goodwin have done before me and I know plans change, so I'm open to whatever is coming, but still, deep down, is the desire to own a B&B. That's my gift, that's my skill and that's something I can make work with the family. The idea of a cookbook freaks me out."

She said that her dream would be to own a tiny hotel consisting of "small cottages set on land near Orange, amongst rolling hills".

Bracks added: "I'm much more interested in people than food. I want people to come and stay with me and feel nurtured and pampered. There would be options for food... of enjoying a meal at night around a communal table."

After the MasterChef final, Bracks said that she wanted to thank God in her acceptance speech but was scared that it would be too "corny".
