In 2015, Sarah opened her first restaurant, Antares, in Goa, India. She co-owns and runs this restaurant. The story of building and opening Antares was shown in an SBS Australia TV series called My Restaurant in India in 2016. This show was aired in 150 countries around the world!
While she was in Goa, Sarah also filmed a TV show called Serve It Like Sarah. This show was about adventure, travel, and food. It had 10 episodes and aired on Fox Life India, Choice TV in New Zealand, and Foxtel starting in 2016.
In 2019, another TV show called My Second Restaurant In India was released. This show followed Sarah as she built and opened her second restaurant, The Wine Rack, in Mumbai. It aired on SBS Australia, W Channel in the UK, Choice TV New Zealand, and Fox Life India.
Sadly, on January 8, 2019, a fire started next to her Antares restaurant in Goa. Embers flew onto her property and caused a big fire. But Sarah didn't give up! Three months later, the restaurant was rebuilt and open for business again.

Back on MasterChef
In 2020, Sarah was asked to compete on MasterChef Australia's twelfth season. This season only featured past contestants who had done very well but hadn't won. However, she was too busy with her work at the time and couldn't accept the offer.
In 2022, Sarah was invited back to MasterChef Australia for its fourteenth season. This time, the show had a mix of returning contestants and new ones. Sarah accepted the offer and did even better than before! She finished as the runner-up, with Billie McKay winning the title for the second time.
