Profile
Shelina grew up in Southampton with her Mauritian parents and siblings. 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, written her debut cookbook Sunshine on a Plate and now plans to open her own restaurant serving Mauritian food in her home town of Southampton.
