Elizabeth was the founding head chef at Pidgin in East London, where she guided the popular neighbourhood restaurant to a Michelin star barely a year after opening.

Her dishes have been described as bold and exciting, and she fuses her Singaporean-British heritage and fine dining cooking experience with a passion for wood-fire cooking. Elizabeth originally studied architecture, but after a stint on Masterchef in 2011 she realised that cooking was her true calling. Since the show, Elizabeth has gone onto have a very successful career as a professional chef, and in 2017 Elizabeth was awarded ‘Chef to Watch’ by the National Restaurant Awards. Elizabeth has had guest appearances on BBC’s Saturday Morning Kitchen, Masterchef UK (guest judge), selected as the Progress 1000 and voted as one of the most influential women in hospitality by CODE hospitality 2020.

In September 2019 she was selected by British VOGUE to feature in the ‘Forces for Change’ issue, which highlighted female trailblazers and was guest edited by The Duchess of Sussex, Meghan Markle.
