It’s all the details. Flavour to savour. “This dish is insane!” wrote Billie.
When the piece de resistance was unveiled and Billie was announced MasterChef winner 2015? Billie chose these images to sum it up. “WHAT! This is EPIC!” she wrote. “Heston! Hes-ton! The look on my face says it all! Safe to say I’m dying on the inside.”
It was a hot competition with super talented foodies battling it out. Before the show, @georgiabarnesau posted this: “Here we go girls – it’s here! MasterChef Australia 2015 Grand Final begins 7.30pm tonight on Ten.”
