MasterChef Winner of 2019

Larissa Takchi

Larissa Takchi has been crowned MasterChef’s winner for 2019, being the youngest ever winner of the show.

“It’s been ridiculously hard, I’ve got a huge family, my family it is so big and everyone is just hassling me (asking), ‘who won, who won,’” Larissa said.

“I had to sort of make up a story that we don’t know, or they recorded many endings and we’re going to view the ending that wins on the night of the grand finale. It’s been really tough to keep that in.”

Finalists Larissa, Simon Toohey and Tessa Boersma faced off in one of the show’s toughest final tests during the final episode.

The 22-year-old praised the “amazing” judges as excellent mentors hours before they walked out. She managed to wow the judges with her unique combination of ingredients throughout the season and took home the $250,000 in grand finale prize money.

The restaurant manager plans to put the prize money to good use by starting a paddock to plate farm and restaurant in Sydney’s northwest.
