Thuy Diem Pham

British-Vietnamese restaurateur and author Thuy Diem Pham is the chef owner of The Little Viet Kitchen in Islington (thelittlevietkitchen.com). She has also published a cookbook, The Little Viet Kitchen Cookbook. Born in a small village in the south of Vietnam, Thuy grew up surrounded by livestock and fresh produce, with morning markets, freshly picked vegetables and the smells of traditional street food. It is these memories that inspire her recipes. You can follow Thuy on Instagram at @chef_thuy_pham and on X at @thuydiempham.
