Diana Chan
from Conversation with a chef Hosted by Jo Rittey
I must admit to being slightly starstruck when talking to Diana Chan today. And when I say slightly, please read, enormously. Diana is the 2017 MasterChef Australia winner and beams a sunny and positive presence out through her socials. So, you can imagine my excitement when PR company, Harvey Taylor got in touch to see if I would like a chat. Of course I would! I asked Diana what her greatest successes have been over the last four years, since leaving a corporate job working for Deloitte to take part in MasterChef and then launch a career as a celebrity chef. Tough question actually; Diana has had so many successes. The one she shared is certainly a standout. The range of dumplings she put out with Golden Wok were the 2020 top selling product in the freezer section of Coles and Woolworths, with 21 million pieces sold and customers wanting more. Diana is (obviously) a firm believer in giving things a go and next on the agenda is her own range of homewares. As she was talking about these I was making frenzied notes to self to buy these when they come out. This was an incredibly uplifting chat on a lockdown day in Melbourne and I am grateful for Diana’s generosity of spirit in sharing so much with me.
