Hello!

Today, we speak with cook, author, painter and MasterChef judge Poh Ling Yeow.

Poh has lived an incredibly rich and colourful life - this conversation illustrates exactly that. In it, Poh speaks about moving to Australia when she was 9, her beloved Aunty Kim’s role in her upbringing, and the heaviness of being away from home when her mum passed away. 

Poh shares how she and her then-partner Matt broke away from Mormonism around the time they decided to get married, and then, her divorce from Matt after their 10-year relationship, and how his subsequent marriage to Poh’s best friend affected her.

Poh has also been nominated for her first-ever Gold Logie, so if you’d like to support Poh, head here to vote.
