Thuy Hoang came to the UK from Vietnam at the age of nine and is hugely passionate about the cuisine of her cultural heritage. Indochina’s rich food influences, from India, China and, for Vietnam, nearly 100 years of its French colonial past, have created varied dishes unique in Asia. Since appearing on BBC1’s MasterChef reaching the 2023 Quarter Finals, Thuy has been promoting Vietnamese food: as a chef for supper clubs and corporate dining; by teaching at leading cookery schools, including at the award-winning School of Wok in Covent Garden, London; by writing recipes, articles and restaurant reviews for food magazines; and by doing on-stage cooking demos at food festivals across the UK, including at House and Garden magazine's Spirit of Christmas fair at Olympia London this year. Thuy also has a YouTube channel where there are films of her demonstrating Vietnamese recipes. She is a judge for the three most prestigious national food industry awards in the UK (the Great Taste Awards, UK Quality Food Awards, and the Great British Food Awards).
