Career

Todd trained at Le Cordon Bleu, London. She competed on the sixth season of ''MasterChef Australia'' in 2014. After cooking aloo gobi on the show, she gained over 50,000 social media followers from India.

In 2015, Todd opened her first restaurant, Antares in Goa, India, which she co-owns and operates. The building and opening of Antares was documented in the SBS Australia series ''My Restaurant in India'', which aired in Australia in 2016. The series has been aired in 150 countries.

Todd's first cookbook ''My Healthy Model Cookbook'' was published by Penguin Australia in 2016.

In 2017, Todd joined fellow judges, Riyaaz Amlani and Vishal Dadlani, in the reality TV Show 'Grilled' on Fox Life India.

In 2018, Todd hosted the documentary ''Awesome Assam With Sarah Todd'', which aired on Fox Life India, National Geographic Channel and Foxtel.

In 2020, Todd was invited to compete on ''Masterchef Australias twelfth season, which exclusively featured high-performing past contestants who had failed to win their respective seasons. However, she refused the offer due to being busy with her career commitments at the time.

She accepted the offer, going on to improve upon her original placing by 7 spots and finishing runner-up, with Billie McKay winning the title for the second time.
