Celebrity chef Andy Allen, the winner of âMasterChef Australia 4', who serves as a judge on the cooking-based reality show, has spoken about his love for India.
Andy Allen, who won the âMasterChef Australia' trophy in 2012, has had an inspirational journey on the show from a passionate contestant to a judge.
While revisiting his travels in India, Andy shared: "I think for me, India was always a place that I've wanted to visit. And it's so crazy that even when I was a contestant in 2012, I was introduced to how big the show was in India, the amount of support that I received during and after the show, being a contestant was crazy."
He shared that nothing really lined up until late last year when he came over for the first time. He continued: "I love India, I love the hustle and bustle. I love how beautiful and chaotic it can be all at the same time. And I love the people and the food."

"So crazy that I didn't go over there for 12 years! Now I've been over there three times in the space of six months. So I hope that this continues on and just snowballs. Because every time I go back, I just fall in love with it, even more and more," he added.
