A conversation with Callum Hann (MasterChef finalist 2010)

5/2/2014

 
Picture
In 2010, Callum Hann nabbed second place in series two of MasterChef Australia and despite being just 20 years old, he wowed the judges — and viewers at home, myself and Peter included — with his exceptional cooking skills as well as his genuinely delightful personality! Callum is the founder of Sprout Cooking School in Adelaide and is now travelling around Australia sharing his love of food and cooking with young people all over the country. His second cookbook, I'd Eat That!, has just been released and I greatly enjoyed my conversation with Callum about his book, and food and cooking in general. Read our conversation here.

I don't know much about him so this was informative.I was away for a lot of season 2 onwards so that's perhaps why.

Thanks Lorraine, Callum was a favourite at our place... we only watched the first two or three series.

I enjoyed watching Callum on Masterchef and was disappointed when he was eliminated. So pleased he has gone on to do food and teaching. I will have to have a look at the book :)

What a great interview Liz. Love his Sprouts cooking school - awesome idea. Not enough cooking going on with the younger generations. Thank you for sharing

Thanks MFF... I agree with you, the young ones do need to learn about food and cooking! : )

So young and so talented. As I live in the UK I have not watched masterchef Australia. It is interesting to see young people being interested in food and be so good at cooking too.
Very nice post and great site too!

Lizzy

Absolutely, Alida. Thank you so much for stopping by!

Great interview! All too often I, also, open the refrigerator and see what there before I decide what I'll be making for dinner!

Lizzy

John, thank you.... shaking the fridge is a good thing!

Great interview, Lizzy. I remember Callum so well from Master Chef. He was just the most lovely contestant and so talented in the kitchen at such a young age. I love Jamie Oliver for the same reasons and I also always have tinned tomatoes in the pantry! xx

Lizzy
5/2/2014 02:21:03 pm

Thanks so much, I agree that Callum was a lovely contestant... and he is so talented! I always have lots of tinned tomatoes too xo

He always comes across as such a nice young guy Lizzy, I'm glad to learn a bit more about him- thanks!

Lizzy
5/2/2014 04:41:44 pm

Bec, from talking with him, I can say YES Callum is a lovely guy! We had a great chat!

Oh Liz, Callum sounds like a lovely young man who definitely knows where he's going and is pedaling as fast as he can to get there. Well done for him.

I'm going to borrow shaking the fridge too. :)

Lizzy
5/2/2014 04:41:07 pm

I agree, Maureen... BRAVO Callum!

Lovely interview with a fabulous fresh food ambassador. I love that you had to leave out lots of general conversation that you had in between the interview questions.

Lizzy
5/2/2014 04:52:41 pm

Kyrstie, thank you... Callum was lovely to talk with... and it's so good that he is teaching the young people of Australia about food and cooking!

Great to see him doing what he is passionate about and passing on the knowledge :D

Lizzy

It is good to see Callum is doing what he loves!

Great interview, Lizzy, insightful questions and thank you for introducing us to Callum. I adore is easy, affable smile, it would appear to give a peek into his personality.

Lizzy

Thank you Judy, my pleasure!

Hi Liz! Callum truly is a great ambassador for healthy yet tasty cooking! I would love my 'office' to be Adelaide's Central Market!

Lizzy
12/2/2014 07:06:48 am

Marian, I agree… And Central Market would be the BEST office… I can say this having worked on site at a fresh produce market for nearly a decade!

Great interview! Watched only Masterchef AU 2 since All Stars is still not shown here and Callum seems like such a nice young man! Wish I can get his books here in the Philippines, though...

Lizzy
12/2/2014 07:07:14 am

Thank you very much, Callum is a delightful man...

Liz, what a fabulous, warm and friendly interview with Callum, I love your writing style. He was a firm favourite in our house as well and I love the sound of his cooking school at the Adelaide Central Market. Wishing him every success with all his ventures, he's to be admired.

Lizzy
12/2/2014 07:07:40 am

Catherine, thank you so very much. He is indeed!
