After leaving Malaysia and immigrating to Australia, Sarah's mum soon found herself having to raise and feed two kids who had an appetite for foods she had never heard of.

Inspired by her family's multiculturalism, Sarah grew up trying and perfecting Asian dishes that aren't afraid to borrow flavours and techniques from her home country of Australia - and beyond.

She now brings years of familial knowledge to the table, showing you how to create modern and unique pairings like buttery scallops with ponzu, charred cabbage with cashew cream, and pork belly with passion fruit.
