A Plate to Call Home show

Summary: Artist, chef and actress Poh Ling Yeow was a contestant on the very first Masterchef exactly ten years ago, but what a lot of people don’t know is that Poh grew up as a member of the Mormon religion. After years of questioning her faith, she decided to leave the church and explore the world. Poh shares with Gary Mehigan the cultural guilt she experienced leaving the Mormon church, how cooking simple food with her aunt changed her relationship with food and the rollercoaster the first series of Masterchef took on.
