It’s 10.57pm, Im sitting in the car writing this and then I remembered I have washing in the machine that needs to be hung out. Or has it started to smell whilst I’ve been out, do I re wash it, or just hang it??? Heels off, Back to reality.

Tonight, something truly special happened and I didn’t quite grasp it until I pulled up in my driveway.
For the second time, I won the South Australian Advertiser Woman of the Year Hospitality Hero award.

And I’m thinking, how did I actually end up here again …
When Florence was 3 months old, I received a phone call, one that I wasn’t fully aware of its ability to change my life forever. A call to come back and compete on Masterchef for the third time. I was in port Douglas, mum was eavesdropping on the phone call, Max was dealing with Florence and most likely a nappy, and I couldn’t comprehend what was happening. Mums in the background going “say yes say yes” and all that ran through my mind was; “how, with a baby, how, how selfish, how could I do this, how can I even contemplate saying yes”
The course of that phone call changed my life forever.
In that moment, I chose it all. I chose Florence, I chose my dream. I chose what I truly wanted; to achieve a dream I never thought I could, all whilst doing it with a 7 month old baby girl for 6 months. I breastfed her right up until finale; I pumped 4 times a day on set, she visited up to 3 times a day to be breast fed with our nanny, i cooked her all her meals every morning at 5am before going to set so she was well fed,I slept with one eye open hoping Florence wouldn’t roll off the bed, i never ate enough to look after me, i cried a lot, i read every horrible comments when I shouldn’t have about my maternal choices and what a selfish mother i was. I questioned everything, but I gave myself no choice to fail.. It was just mum instinct kicking in and having to do it all.
I had an opportunity to inspire new mums out there that your identity is not lost, your dreams do not have to die, your flame still burns stronger than ever.
Max sent me a video of Florence saying “woohooo go mummy” tonight, that’s when I realised; that being Florence’s Mum is having it all.
I never thought I’d ever be writing this … a winning speech.
When I was 13 years old, I told my mum that one day I would be on MasterChef australia. 17 years later; I stand here, achieving my life long goal, and finally writing the last chapter to my fairytale ending.
My heart is full of love, joy and pride.

To my dear friend thank you for your friendship, your support and for playing the most calculated game.
To our wonderful judges; -To be guided and supported over this season has been a privilege. Thank you for allowing me to share my food, my soul and my passion. A special extra mention to Andy; thank you for allowing me to bring you food that has been inspired by our late friend Jock. To share this with you has been so truly special.
To every crew member; you make this show and you made this dream a reality. I cannot thank these incredible humans enough for being part of something so special, multiple times over. You know who you are.
To - you are a true powerhouse
To everyone that has ever believed in me; I will forever be grateful.
To my family; I love you. I have no words to truly describe my love for you all. Your sacrifices made to allow me to chase my dream will never go unnoticed.
Here’s to never giving up on your dreams. Tonight, my apron is hung, high, retired from this kitchen. thank you for the best times of my life ❤️
Our little girl, Florence Rosa Sharrad 🤍

Giving us the most incredible surprise on Tuesday morning 23rd April at 9.24am. We never knew this much love could exist

We couldn’t haven’t done this without our incredible Obstetrician Dr Sarah Cash at, the midwives at the Women’s & Children’s and our families.
