Sarah has authored one cookbook, and is now working on a second on healthy Indian dishes with a spin-off
A fan of Suits and Succession on Netflix, Sarah adds, “Divorce or separation can have a toll on children, so it is important to evaluate the situation. As parents we play an important role in helping children to form respectful and trusting relationships of their own. How can we do that when we are not demonstrating those qualities as parents?” From 2016 to 2018, Sarah starred in her own six-part television series My Restaurant in India, which broadcast her life’s journey to 156 countries around the world. She also starred in Serve It Like Sarah (2016 – 2018), a 10-episode adventure, travel and food series shot in Goa; Grilled (2017), in which she was the host and judge of a new
restaurant-startup series; and the one-hour documentary, Awesome Assam with Sarah Todd (2018). A fan of Japanese cuisine – “they have spent centuries perfecting every technique” – Sarah’s favourite dish to cook and eat is “hands down keema”. She is busy writing her next cookbook with healthy Indian recipes, and is going to be one of four female chefs on the Australian Open Chef Series in 2020. Her food will take guests on a journey of flavours from across India while incorporating native ingredients from Australia. “I feel like I have a huge responsibility to showcase to tennis fans that this event has way more to offer than what meets the eye,” she says, smiling.
