Thuy Hoang │ MasterChef UK 2023

Thuy Hoang was born in Saigon, Vietnam (Ho Chi Minh City). She was a Quarter Finalist on BBC1's MasterChef UK in 2023. Thuy is a cook, baker, and advocate for amazing food and food producers. 

"Growing up in Saigon, food was a cornerstone of my life, deeply embedded in family traditions and cultural heritage. Vietnamese cuisine beautifully captures the essence of balance and healthy eating, with a focus on fresh ingredients, bold spices, abundant vegetables, and signature broths. It’s naturally gluten-free, low in fat and sugar, and for the most part, dairy-free.
In Vietnam, food is like an open history book, telling the rich story of our roots. The influence of French, Chinese, Cambodian, and Laotian cuisines has shaped our dishes, highlighting a legacy of innovation and adaptation. This culinary tradition, honed over centuries, remains modern, vibrant, healthy, and above all, delicious—a refreshing alternative to today’s ultra-processed foods."
