Former MasterChef contestant Sarah Todd is set to take over from Andy Allen as host of Farm to Fork 

She appeared on the 2014 season of MasterChef, and now Sarah Todd is making a welcome return to TV.

The 33-year-old chef is set to take over from current MasterChef judge Andy Allen as a host on Channel 10’s cooking show, Farm to Fork, as reported by the Gold Coast Bulletin on Friday.

Sarah will appear alongside fellow hosts Michael Weldon and Courtney Roulston, who also found fame with their stints on MasterChef.

After dividing her time between India and Australia for the past five years, the current coronavirus pandemic meant Sarah was based in Melbourne.

Conveniently, it worked out well for her new hosting gig, enabling her the time needed to commit to the role.

‘We’re well into the depth of filming. It’s 90 episodes, so it’s a lot of cooking,’ she told the Gold Coast Bulletin. 

‘I’ve never shot a show in this format, cooking in the kitchen, [my other series’] were a lot more travel based.’ 

While filming began before Melbourne’s stage four lockdown was put into place, the show’s production secured an exemption to continue.

Although the show usually sees the hosts visiting local farms and producers, these visits have been put on hold because of the pandemic.

But Sarah said she’s hopeful things will return to normal once restrictions are eased in Victoria.

‘We’re hoping to do farm visits when restrictions ease up. Then we’ll do a lot of Victoria and the Riviera,’ she added. 

‘I’m looking forward to exploring a bit more of Australia. It’s so weird, I’ve done so much of India now but we’ve got this beautiful country. I just want to get out and explore.’
