Double Tree by Hilton today was home to Divas in Ahmedabad.. amidst the culinary creations by few women, walks in a Tall, fair lady, with a perfect figure, wearing Stilletoes designer dress which is a knee length skirt with a front slit.
Ficci Y Flo, today had organised a session by celebrity chef Sarah Todd under the title 'Food for Thought'. Where Sarah shared her journey for the young aspiring ladies to inspire and guide them.
The recipe of her success is;
1. In Sydney she turned to a model by virtue of her vitals at the age of 18, then there was no looking back but loads of hard work for ramps, endorsements and shoots. Sleepless nights and still looking fresh. Maximum changes she has done in a day is 60. All this made her travel the world..
2. After a decade of toil, her culinary creative skills suddenly started knocking down the corner. She remembered her childhood when her mother used to make cookies and sell them for survival. Later she became a mother to son Phoenix at the age of 24. In order to feed him interesting stuff, Sarah started experimenting with food, and her son was her biggest critic.
3. Entered into a mystery box challenge: this was like a marination before preparing any delicacy so that all flavors are completely absorbed into the ingredients..
2014 was a turning point when she went for a Master Chef show, where she was under complete hibernation mode which brought in metamorphosis. The participants were cut off from the outside world for 4.5 months, only television they had access to.. no mobile no internet. Getting onto top 10 was her lifetime achievement.
4. Sarah had plans to open up a restaurant in Australia but destiny pulled her to India where she opened Antares Restaurant and Beach club on Small Vagator in Goa.
5. Earlier this year in January, her restaurant was engulfed in flames.. Grief overpowered her watching her dream place turn into ashes.. but her strength again overpowered and her restaurant is ready soon to be inaugurated in a new Avtaar.
Talking about her current occupation Sarah comments, "Chefs in big hotels spend more than 14 hours in the kitchen, trying to serve the best to their guests. They don't even have the time to peept out any see the sky..so next time please think twice when you have complaints.."
And today amidst the culinary skills YFLO women demonstrated, Sarah selected a Mango Coconut Chia Pudding prepared by Aarohi Nagecha, a home Baker. In the savoury she selected Khakhra served with Hummus.
After writing 2 books, doing travel shows.. all she says is, "Live in the moment and have confidence in yourself."
