Chef, Food Writer & Stylist

With a background in brand + product development, Omar’s passion lies in creating and innovating.

In 2023 Omar brought this passion to MasterChef, where he finished runner-up. During the competition Omar was recognised for his daring flavour combinations, creative plating style, and always pushing the limits of food, especially using his Pakistani heritage to bring dishes to life.

Now a successful food writer, stylist and development chef, he is known for his sensory culinary experiences where anything goes, working with brands such as Spotify, ITV and Blank Street on high concept activations. He is currently working on his first book, a food memoir exploring multiracial cooking.
