Q. First thought about India?
Sarah Todd: Dosa for breakfast!
Renae Smith: Colour — the colour of the spices, of the clothing and the incredible brightness of the people that call India home.
Emelia Jackson: Food!

Q. The most difficult challenge you've faced as a professional post-MasterChef Australia?
Sarah: My main focus, as a professional, has been to grow and learn as much as I can from the cuisines around the world and to get to know my style of cooking.
Renae: After leaving MasterChef, the hardest thing is to return to normal life. We are locked up in a house for so long with no phone, no Internet and are not even allowed to leave the house. When you have to return to reality, it is a bit hard to adjust.
Emelia: Definitely, making wedding cakes. They are very time-consuming, and I usually crack it about six hours in and start crying!
