WHO WILL BE HOSTING YOUR EVENT:

Your host this evening will be Food Ambassador, Media Personality and Season 11 MasterChef Australia Contestant Dhayanie (Dee) Williams. Born in Sri Lanka, Dee decided to move to Australia in 2007 to complete her Bachelor’s Degree in Hotel Management, graduating in 2011. When Dee moved to Melbourne, Australia in 2007, it opened a whole new world of cuisines that she previously did not know about. Whilst living in Australia she was inspired by the variety of cuisines and cooking cultures on offer and found her strength in the kitchen cooking Asian and Sri Lankan cuisine.
Whilst watching MasterChef Australia over the years she had a desire to experience what all the contestants were experiencing in the competition. Despite several unsuccessful attempts, Dee did not let this dissuade her, and so she persisted on until she was selected to be part of MasterChef Australia Season 11, 2019 as a top 24 contestant. Dee was the first Sri Lankan female to be selected for MasterChef Australia. Dee aims to showcase the authentic flavours of Sri Lankan cuisine by showing viewers on various social media platforms how to create dishes and explaining the different and complex flavours. Dee recently featured as a judge and mentor for Sri Lankan cooking show Supreme Chef. Along with continuing to be a Food Ambassador, Dee is also planning on releasing a signature range of spice mixes in future.
