Hello, my name is Thuy Hoang.

I am a British Vietnamese cook and baker. I was absolutely delighted to reach the Quarter Finals of BBC1’s MasterChef in 2023. I bake and cook many styles of food but have a particular focus on Vietnamese cuisine with a modern twist. The ingredients of Southeast Asia never cease to inspire me from the very wide variety of fresh herbs to tangy nuoc mam (fish sauce), to fiery chillies. I am very passionate about my cultural heritage and its strong connection with food. I want to be an ambassador for it, bringing it greater prominence in the UK and beyond.
