Brin was crowned the champion of MasterChef UK 2024 following a competition full of his ‘dangerously clever’ cooking. Throughout the competition, Brin was known for pushing the limits of flavour and technique ensuring he left no stone unturned on his road to victory. For Brin, the competition was an opportunity to change his life and create a career out of a deep-rooted passion. That’s exactly what he’s done and now spends his days filling our screen, bookshelves and plates with his delicious recipes.
Having grown up in a Tamil Sri Lankan household, Brin was surrounded by a plethora of spices, ingredients and flavours. His parents would fill their family table with vibrant vegetables, deep and rich meats and small sambals that’d come together in harmony. This upbringing was the starting point for his love of food and the development of his palate. Brin’s love for cooking truly started as a university student with a small budget. He learnt his skills by experimenting with low cost ingredients and elevating them into exciting food from all over the world.
Since winning, Brin has captivated audiences with his vibrant, flavour-driven dishes on screen, across social media and in print where his culinary creativity has built a fast-growing and engaged following. Brin’s debut cookbook Elevate was published in April 2026 and focuses on creating delicious, vibrant recipes from everyday ingredients. The book champions Brin’s passion for making exciting cooking accessible, with warmth, humour and heart. Brin’s hit the ground running in the culinary world and he’s just getting started!
