‘It was healthy though – feeling comfortable and content is overrated,’ she told the paper, adding that she was ‘bossy’ and took over the cooking.
‘I feel like you don’t learn much when you are not challenged. That’s one of the reasons I went on there – it’s really healthy to be challenged on many levels all the time, so I kind of welcomed that,’ she added.
Elsewhere in the interview, Poh discussed her split from husband Jonathan Bennett, revealing that the pair are still best friends.

‘It’s been the most untraumatic break-up possible and I’m single again after 12 years,’ she said.
‘I’m enjoying negotiating life on my own, enjoying the feeling of being a lone ranger – I’ve been in serious relationships for 24 of my 47 years.’
Poh split from Jonathan, who was her second husband, in February.
In a unique situation, Poh, Jonathan and her first husband Matt Phipps ran the Jamface Cafe at Adelaide Central Market, alongside Matt’s new wife Sarah Rich – who also happens to be Poh’s best friend of 20 years.

However, while Jonothan is no longer part of the company, Matt remains a co-owner.
The chef and cookbook author continues to have a warm relationship with her first husband Matt.
Speaking of working with Matt in 2017, Poh told Mamamia: ‘He’s my ex-husband. She’s my best friend. And when we broke up, they got together and it’s all dandy.’
Poh became a household name after appearing on MasterChef season one in 2009.
