Really Interesting Women

The Podcast

Episode 144 

Sarah Todd

Sarah Todd is a celebrity chef, model, restaurateur and cookbook author. There’s a lot to her story.

Hailing from Mackay in Qld, she entered a competition to win a trip to Sydney, which led to her being discovered as a model. During her travels as a model, she discovered a love for food culture – and that changed the course of her career. 

But it seemed to be the birth of her son that was the catalyst for that transition to working in the culinary arts. And that transition got an enormous boost when she appeared on the 6th season of the TV show, MasterChef. 

While that sort of opportunity can open doors, it needs a very special person to walk through those doors and make a rewarding and fulfilling career (literally) with their own bare hands. And Sarah has done just that. 

Consider this...India has a population of over 1.4 billion people. And, I’m going to suggest, there are probably several (!!) restaurants already there. But Sarah took her love for Indian cuisine to India and built and opened a restaurant that, through countless hours, days, months, years of hard work, became an incredible success. And then a tragic event that changed everything. 

But...being the person she is, Sarah persevered. It’s quite a remarkable story really. 

That perseverance in the face of, at times, overwhelming obstacles...and those opportunities taken, led to an extraordinary career culminating recently with acknowledgement from an Instagram influencer with 92.4 million followers...who also happens to be the Prime Minister of India. 

Sarah Todd has navigated her way from Mackay to Modi.
