Sarah Todd ‘I CAME BACK TO WIN FOR MY SON!’

Heading back into the MasterChef Australia kitchen for the second time, Sarah Todd says the feeling is a lot like being inside a pressure cooker.

“I had forgotten what an intense situation it is,” she confesses to Woman’s Day. “I really went through a lot of scenarios about coming back because in my restaurants, I’ve got all my dishes set and everything is going well, and now I think, ‘Oh, my God, am I really going to go back and get judged again?!’”

Since appearing on season six in 2014, Sarah, 34, has become a celebrity chef in her own right – penning two best-selling cookbooks, starring in several reality shows and opening three restaurants in India.

Despite her success and her impressive list of achievements, Sarah has still found herself returning to that mindset that she initially felt when she first entered the MasterChef kitchen as an amateur chef.
