Hi, my name is Brendan Pang.

I competed on MasterChef Australia in 2018 and 2020 and it helped me realise the reality of being able to share my love and excitement for cooking with the rest of the world.

I’m known for Chinese Mauritian flavours. They are recipes that I grew up eating and I take pride in cooking for friends and family - ready to pass them onto the next generation of home cooks.

I approach cooking with a healthy and wholesome perspective and believe everyone should understand what they are eating, without compromising on nutrition and flavour. I respect traditional recipes and like to add a little “Brendan magic” to make sure they are easy, fun, tasty, and approachable.

Whether on my travels around the world, at my pop-up cooking school, through my cookbooks, or online, I aim to create a curious and open-minded community connected through a common love of authentic food, cultural exploration and self-discovery.
