Tommy Pham Biography – Tommy Pham Wiki
Tommy Pham is a food nutrition ambassador and kindergarten teacher from New South Wales. He was previously a contestant in series 13 of MasterChef Australia where he finished 7th. He also appeared in MasterChef Australia season 14 dubbed Fans & Favourites which featured 12 new contestants and 12 former contestants. The season premiered on Monday, April 18, 2022. For him, the hardest part of joining MasterChef Australia has been focusing on the competition and not what his baby boy Miles is doing back home since he is a new dad. Having welcomed his son Miles into the world with his partner in April 2020, the nutrition ambassador is sacrificing a lot to work towards achieving his food dream. He was eliminated from the show on June 19, 2022.
He was brought up by his Vietnamese mum and says home-cooked meals from his childhood are what has most inspired his cooking and that his mum is the best cook in the world. Growing up in Sydney, he admits to falling in with the wrong crowd in his teens, but he eventually graduated from university and went on to work in IT before moving abroad to Japan. A two-year stint living and working in Tokyo steered Tommy towards teaching and he is now a kindergarten teacher. Admitting he caused more than a few teachers’ headaches in his time, he is thankful for his evolution and for becoming the man and teacher he is today.
Always a lover of exotic foods, he is largely self-taught, though his mum shared many recipes for Vietnamese basics. While living and working in Japan, he fell deeper in love with cooking and when he missed home, he would turn to his mum’s classic dishes. For Tommy, food offers an indelible connection to his family and heritage. He gets a kick out of seeing faces light up after eating something he has created and enjoys introducing people to out-of-the-ordinary dishes. He believes food is a fascinating pathway to exploring different cultures and cites Adam Liaw, Luke Nguyen, and Anthony Bourdain among his key influences.
With strengths in balancing unique flavors and knowledge of unusual ingredients, he hopes to combine his two passions of traveling and cooking to one day follow in the footsteps of his food heroes. He dreams of traveling abroad, documenting different food cultures, and sharing them with the world.
