Poh Ling Yeow
State: South Australia
Poh was catapulted into the centre of the Australian food scene in the first season of MasterChef Australia, when the popular South Australian narrowly missed out on taking home the top prize. Weeks after the finale, she was offered her own cooking show, Poh's Kitchen, which ran for three seasons.
In 2015 Poh continued her television career with her series Poh & Co, which ran for two seasons, a fly-on-the-wall look into her chaotic life as a cook, artist and small business owner.
In 2010 she fulfilled a lifelong dream of publishing her first cookbook, Poh’s Kitchen - My Cooking Adventures. Four years on Poh’s second cookbook, Same Same But Different was released, and her third cookbook Poh Bakes A Hundred Greats, hit the shelves in 2017.
Poh has also run Jamface at the Adelaide Showgrounds Farmers Market for five years and is about to open a flagship store at the Adelaide Airport.
Watch Poh create her most favoured dish, Rabbit Ragout with Shiitake Mushrooms and Pasta Sheets, in Season 1, Episode 70.
