Not only is Kwoklyn Wan a TV chef, presenter, best-selling cookbook author and all-round Chinese food expert, his love for cooking in the great outdoors is a passion he is always keen to share with everyone.
Raised in his family’s Cantonese restaurants in Leicester, he has been around Chinese food all his life and developed a deep enjoyment for cooking. He poured his unwavering love of food into perfecting classic Chinese and East Asian recipes which are showcased in a series of best-selling cookery books. His debut, Chinese Takeaway Book, was released in 2019, and has gone on to be sold worldwide in multiple languages. Another six books have since joined the series.
Regular TV appearances include ITV This Morning, Channel 4 Packed Lunch and his own Chinese Takeaway Kitchen show on Amazon.
In his new show for 2026, ‘Camp Wok’, the campsite becomes the kitchen and the wild provides the backdrop for dishes bursting with flavour!
Come rain or shine, warm or cold, wrapping up on crisp winter mornings, shading under the awning on hot summer days, or cooking through a light drizzle with steam and smoke rising, Kwoklyn shares his joy of preparing mouth-watering meals whilst relaxing in nature.
Expect hearty noodle bowls, fragrant stir-fries, tender braises, and creative snacks — each cooked with the same skill and soul you’d expect, but with the relaxed, joyful pace of life outdoors.
Outdoor cooking is all about slowing down, making memories and proving that you don’t need a big kitchen range to create extraordinary food.
