Sunshine on a Plate by Shelina Permalloo
In 2012 over 6.5 million viewers watched the author triumph in the MasterChef final: with her instinctive spicing and intense flavours, she brought Mauritian food to TV for the first time, inspiring legions of home cooks to try out her recipes at home. This title showcases the food of this beautiful island in her home cooking.
She is already being dubbed the new domestic goddess by fans and it seems Shelina Permalloo is firmly on her way to rivalling Nigella * Daily Mail *
Shelina Permalloo was the star of this year’s MasterChef right from the startAnd not just for her Nigella-esque voluptuous figure, or her apple cheeks and burnished skin. Her food, inspired by her Mauritian heritage, was at once enticingly exotic and reassuringly familiar. -- Xanthe Clay * Daily Telegraph *
MasterChef normally favours erratic, eccentric mad scientist types, but Shelina was happy to stick with making the delicious Mauritian dishes that had John and Gregg raving […] the food she served was exceptionally vibrant and elegant. * The Guardian *

Shelina Permalloo grew up in Southampton with her Mauritian parents and siblings. Inspired to cook by her mother and aunt, preparing and cooking traditional Mauritian food made her feel close to her family and her heritage. It was only in 2011 that she decided to follow her heart and gave up a career in diversity and equality to enter the MasterChef competition. Since winning the title, she has cooked at the Good Food Shows and now plans to open her own restaurant serving Mauritian food. She lives in Southampton.
