Laura Sharrad knows what it’s like to come close—but not close enough.
Twice a MasterChef Australia runner-up, she’s returning with more experience, more determination, and a serious hunger to finally take the title.
Since her last shot at victory, Laura has been busy making a name for herself in the industry, co-owning two acclaimed South Australian restaurants.
Now, she’s stepping back into the pressure cooker—will this be the season she finally wins?
From 10:
Nobody knows the sting of missing out on the top spot quite like Laura Sharrad.
After coming in as runner-up in season six of MasterChef Australia, Laura returned for another shot at the culinary crown during Season 12 and made it all the way to the grand finale. Once again, she narrowly missed out on the trophy and finished in second place.
Since she last set foot in the MasterChef Australia kitchen, Laura has been honing her skills and hard at work in professional kitchens as the co-owner of South Australian hot spots, Fugazzi Bar & Dining and pasta bar Nido.
With years of expertise under her apron, Laura is hungrier than ever for the title and is quite literally, back to win. Will third time be the charm?
