Justin Narayan's Fijian-Indian heritage has shaped his passion for creating beautiful food and community around the table. While he grew up watching cooking shows on TV and admires Gaggan Anand and Gordon Ramsay, really it's his mum, Sunita, who is hands down the best cook he knows. He learned from her and his grandparents from age 13, and mealtimes with his family are among his favourite memories. Justin won Australian MasterChef 2021, a journey which helped hone his skills and knowledge along with his love of marrying Indian flavours to modern cooking methods. He is now making his food his career including cooking classes, takeaway tacos and upcoming restaurant ventures.
