About Elizabeth Chong
Elizabeth Chong is regarded as Australia's leading teacher of Chinese cuisine and is one of the most loved and enduring personalities of the Australian Food Industry scene.
Elizabeth is admired by her peers, restauranteurs and food writers alike. In Melbourne's Chinatown, she is respectfully and affectionately known as "The Empress of Chinatown."
With boundless energy, Elizabeth embraces the many aspects of food both in Australia and overseas. Her numerous books, publications and articles can be found in thousands of homes everywhere. In 1994, her book, The Heritage of Chinese Cooking was awarded the prestigious Prix La Mazille as International Cookbook of the Year.
Elizabeth is a Celebrity Chef in Channel 10's Good Morning Australia cooking segment with host, Bert Newton. She appears nationally in that capacity every week and has a strong following. It is not uncommon to hear Elizabeth on radio where she often appears as special guest.
Despite her busy schedule, her business interests include regular tours of the Chinatown precinct in Little Bourke Street, Melbourne, as well as running a highly successful Cooking School. Since 1961, Elizabeth has taught over 35,000 Australian students the art of preparing Chinese cuisine.
Many awards have been bestowed upon Elizabeth. They include the designation "Special Legend" citation by the Melbourne Food and Wine Festival, a Best Television Segment award from the organisers of Tasting Australia, nominated Australian Ambassador for Hong Kong and most recently a Jaguar Award recipient for Excellence from Gourmet Traveller.
