For MasterChef Australia Season 13 finalist Depinder Chhibber food has always been therapeutic so much so that even when she was at work, Chhibber used to be thinking about what she is going to cook for dinner or what she is going to make this weekend, or so-and-so`s birthday is coming up this week, what cake is she going to make for them and used to be busy drawing it when her manager would come and say, “It’s pretty”. This was much before she entered the competition in 2021 and that has probably set the tone for the future.
When Chhibber visited Mumbai last month, she was coming to the city after almost six months for yet another collaboration but this time she was more excited than last. It is simply because Chhibber has been able to actively cultivate and propel her food goals ever since she made an appearance on Season 13 of MasterChef Australia, a year after the Covid-19 pandemic took over the world.
