How did you get your big break? I’ve been lucky enough to have a few, actually. My first big break was getting the call-up to be on
MasterChef season 12. I was working as a tradie on a work site just outside of Newcastle in Australia, it was raining and the place was a mud pit. I got a phone call offering for me to come and audition for
MasterChef after filling out the online application.

MasterChef judge Andy Allen is a big fan of Led Zeppelin. My next big break was that I was lucky enough to win the competition. After all that, about eight months after winning it, I was seriously contemplating going back to being an electrician, thinking that I wouldn’t make it in food.
