Thuy Diem Pham


Vietnamese-British restaurateur and author Thuy Diem Pham is Head Chef and owner of the multi-award winning London restaurant, The Little Viet Kitchen. It was here that she created her signature dining experience by blending the best of restaurant precision and flair, with the comforts of the home kitchen.

Having moved to the UK aged seven, Thuy has a distinctive approach to Vietnamese cooking in the West, combining an authentic core knowledge of Vietnamese culture with a deft understanding of the London food scene. 

In recent years she has performed demos at the UK’s largest food festivals, made numerous TV appearances and taken up several residencies in 5-star hotels and resorts, helping her to be widely regarded as the UK’s most prominent voice on Vietnamese cuisine.

Her debut book, THE LITTLE VIET KITCHEN, was published by Absolute Press in 2018 and Thuy’s new book VIETNAMESE MADE EASY is a collection of modern recipes for busy home cooks. It was published by Quadrille in Autumn 2023.

Thuy lives in St. Albans with her husband and young son.
