Who won MasterChef Australia 2021?
Justin Narayan
27 year old Youth Pastor from Western Australia
Justin Narayan was crowned MasterChef Australia champion for 2021 on Tuesday the 13th of July 2021
Justin won the MasterChef finale, by only one point ahead of frontrunner Pete Campbell, the 36 year old Tattoo Artist from NSW. In 3rd place was Kishwar Chowdhury the 38 year old Printing Business Owner from Victoria.
1st place winner Justin Narayan takes home a grand prize of $250,000
Justin is the 1st person from Western Australia to ever win MasterChef.
Who is JUSTiN NARAYAN ?..
Justin gets his inspiration from his family of Fijian and Indian heritage, which he is the first generation to be born in Australia. His mum is among his biggest inspiration, and he says she is the best cook he knows. He is the eldest of 3 siblings, and very close to his Parti (grandmother) who recently passed, and Tata (grandfather), as they always watched cooking shows together, and he also loved cooking for them. Justin recently married his fiancée Esther.
Justin started cooking when he was 13 years old. In 2017 he travelled to India where he fell in love with the Indian culture, the history, people and the food, which he now has a strong understanding of the Indian flavours, which he gravitates towards savoury side over the sweet dishes.
Justin was a youth pastor, which he recently resigned from doing so he could chase his culinary dreams. He also put his Masters' study on hold when he tried out for MasterChef. Justin would one day love to have a food truck or restaurant featuring the Indian flavours he grew up eating, which the profits could go to helping feed and educate children living in the slums of India.

February 2020
Heston Blumenthal removed from MasterChef 2020 guest list
Heston Blumenthal, a regular guest on MasterChef, was scratched from 2020 season by Network 10, maybe due to an alleged multi-million dollar pay scandal, involving underpaid staff at a restaurant linked to him. The United Workers Union claimed that workers at Dinner by Heston at the Crown complex in Melbourne, were owed $4.5 million. Although the restaurant carries Heston's name, he is not a part-owner. Network 10 hasn't yet offered a reason to why they severed ties with Heston. This latest change is added to the shows already significant changes for 2020, with the departure of George Calombaris, Matt Preston, and Gary Mehigan (see more details down below).
Who are the new MasterChef judges for 2020?..
The 3 new judges for 2020 are Melissa Leong, Andy Allen and Jock Zonfrillo. They'll be replacing the former judges Matt Preston, Gary Mehigan and George Calombaris, who left the show in July 2019.

Larissa on social media : instagram.com/LarissaTakchi |
Larissa Takchi was born and raised in Sydney. She has always enjoyed weekends with her big Lebanese family, having big lunches and dinners, with everyone bringing plates of food, which created her fondest memories.
Larissa finished high school in 2014, and then went onto Macquarie University where she is now studying a Bachelor's degree in Business Administration. She works as a restaurant manager at her mother's restaurant in Sydney. Larissa is mostly a self-taught chef, but admits her chef mother has always been there along the way to help out. Larissa is a fan of the works of Karen Martini, Yotam Ottolenghi, David Chang, Darren Purchese, and Gill Meller. She loves both sweet and savoury cooking, but she's more experimental with sweet cooking, and more intuitive with savoury cooking.
Larissa is most practiced in cooking Lebanese inspired dishes, but considers herself an all-rounder in the kitchen, with also a flair for Asian, Italian, and French cuisine. She cites her favourite places to dine out as Sydney's Automata, Firedoor and Kensington Street Social. Larissa's family and partner Luke support her dreams of one day opening her own wine bar and restaurant, serving comforting yet sophisticated food with a seasonal menu.

2013 winner of series 5 ~ Emma Dean
35 year old town planner from Melbourne, Victoria
Emma Dean's passion for food began as a child in the paddocks and kitchen of her home in regional Victoria, on a farm in Epsom, Victoria. Her parents encouraged her love of growing and cooking farm-fresh produce in her early years, by teaching her to knead bread, grow vegies, and collect freshly-laid eggs. Emma's earliest memories were helping her Dad plant pumpkin seeds, to grow their own pumpkins.

2010 winner of series 2 ~ Adam Liaw
31 year old lawyer from Adelaide, South Australia
Adam Liaw was born in Penang, Malaysia. After his parents divorced, and his mother moved to New Zealand, he went to live with his paternal grandmother Kwei-Eng Chew, who was a huge influence on his cooking. At the age of 14, Adam completed Year 11 at Prince Alfred College, and at 16 he enrolled at the University of Adelaide, where he graduated with a double degree in Science and Law. After graduation he worked in technology, commercial & corporate law, business advisory and international trade, at Kelly & Co Lawyers in Adelaide. In 2004 he moved to Japan to work in media law for The Walt Disney Company. Adam's MasterChef victory was the most watched non-sporting television event in Australian history, when he defeated Callum Hann 89 – 82 for the title.
In 2012, Adam got his own travel & food TV show, Destination Flavour, on the SBS television network. In 2013, Destination Flavour: Japan was officially launched on SBS ONE with Adam as the sole host, followed by Destination Flavour: Down Under in 2014, Destination Flavour: Scandinavia in 2016 on SBS, plus Destination Flavour: Singapore in 2017. In 2017 Hidden Japan with Adam Liaw premiered on SBS Food Network.
Since Adam gave up his job as a highly paid lawyer in Tokyo to go on MasterChef, he's never looked back. He said he was lucky that his series for SBS, Destination Flavour, has been running for 6 seasons, and he's also written 6 cookbooks. Since winning the show, his wife Asami and him have had 2 children, Christopher and Anna.
Adam is also UNICEF Australia's National Ambassador for Nutrition, and he was named the Culinary Ambassador for ANA Australia by All Nippon Airways.

2009 winner of series 1 ~ Julie Goodwin
38 year old office manager from Central Coast, New South Wales
Julie Goodwin was born and raised in Sydney. She started a degree in education, but changed to a career in youth work, presenting workshops in schools around Australia. Julie moved to the Central Coast where she married Michael, her long time partner. She continued youth work where she held a position in a juvenile detention centre. Julie also performed as a singer at various functions around her area. Julie and Michael's first son Joe was born in 1995, followed soon by 2 more sons, Tom and Paddy, with a total of 3 boys under the age of three. In 2002 Julie and Michael started a successful I.T. consulting business, which grew from their lounge room to a team of employees in an office in North Gosford.
Julie's life was about to change again when she was selected from over 7,000 applicants for the first series of Masterchef Australia.
On the 19th July 2009, Julie was watched by over 4 million Australians, as she defeated Poh Ling Yeow in the final to take out the title as the 1st ever winner of MasterChef Australia. Julie's first cook book Our Family Table, was published by Random House in 2010, and became the number 1 top seller for over 10 weeks, with over 200,000 books sold, making it one of Australia's largest selling cook books. Julie was named Australia's biggest selling author of all categories in 2010.
Julie went on to become a regular columnist for the Australian's Women's Weekly, and resident cook on the Today Show on Channel 9, who also gave Julie her own cooking show, Home Cooked!, in 2010. The afternoon cooking series featured tips and tricks for creating meals at home, with featured celebrity guests such as radio and TV host Amanda Keller, singer Ricki-Lee Coulter, actor Gyton Grantley, and cricketer Steve Waugh. Julie was also involved on The 7pm Project, in a segment where families got to enter a contest to have her cook at their house live on television. Later that year Julie released a CD of Christmas songs and recipes.
A few years after winning MasterChef, Julie went on to write two more cookbooks: Heart of the Home (2012), and Gather (2013). She reappeared on television again in 2015, in the first season of I'm a Celebrity Get Me Out of Here!
These days Julie hosts a breakfast show with Rabbit on Star 104.5 FM, on the Central Coast of New South Wales, while also running her business, Julie's Place, running cooking classes, events and functions, in Gosford.
In 2020, Julie Goodwin opened up about her private mental health battle, which involved 5 weeks in a mental health facility due to depression and anxiety.
