Known affectionately as MasterChef Australia's 'nice guy', Callum Hann brings a refreshing enthusiasm to his roles as a chef, television presenter, cookbook author, and entrepreneur.
Callum Hann, a renowned figure in Australian culinary circles, is driven by his passion for food and education. He actively promotes sustainable and ethical food practices, supports local farmers, champions seasonal ingredients, and advocates for reducing food waste.
In 2010, Callum first captured hearts as a university student from South Australia on MasterChef Australia. With his genuine charm and impressive culinary skills, he quickly became a fan favourite, narrowly missing out on the winner's title but securing runner-up. Callum returned to the MasterChef kitchen twice more, winning the charity fundraising MasterChef All-Stars in 2012 and competing again in 2020's Back to Win, where he achieved fourth place.
Beyond television, Callum is a successful entrepreneur, co-founding multiple businesses in South Australia.

His ventures have expanded into hospitality with establishments like Lou's Place in the Barossa Valley, Eleven Bar and Restaurant, and Olive Restaurant in Adelaide.
A prolific author, Callum has penned several cookbooks, including 'The Starter Kitchen' (2012), 'I'd Eat That!' (2014), and co-authored 'Quick. Easy. Health.' (2016), showcasing his creativity and culinary expertise.
Passionate about promoting South Australia's rich produce, Callum serves on the board of Brand South Australia. This organisation supports local businesses and promotes the state's offerings to a broader audience.
