MasterChef sisters in final three

Two sisters from Maketu, Karena, left, and Kasey Bird, are bringing plenty of Bay flavour to MasterChef.

Maketu sisters Kasey and Karena Bird have made it to the final three of TVNZ's MasterChef competition.

The sisters wowed celebrity judges in last night's episode of the television reality cooking show, scoring 19 out of 20 for a main meal and dessert challenge.

The score was the highest out of the three teams but competion is hot, with no one eliminated last night.

The sisters are up against mother and daughter team Nicola and Jordan Shearer from Lower Hutt and friends Jaimie Stodler and Bec Stanley from Queenstown.
