Tom Hitchcock

Support my CookOff to feed people in need.

Tom Hitchcock is an award-winning Australian chef and Head Chef of Spirit House on the Sunshine Coast. Renowned for his modern interpretation of Southeast Asian cuisine, his cooking is driven by fire, fermentation and a deep respect for traditional techniques, local produce and sustainability.

 

Tom began his career as a dishwasher in Weipa at the age of 14 before completing his apprenticeship in Gladstone and refining his craft at some of Queensland's leading restaurants, including Ricky's, The Long Apron and Noosa Beach House. His passion for fermentation, preservation and minimising waste has become a defining part of his culinary style.

 

In 2022, Tom was crowned Queensland Chef of the Year before making history in 2023 as the first Queensland chef to win Australian Professional Chef of the Year. Today, he is recognised not only for his innovative cooking but also for his leadership, mentorship and commitment to building positive kitchen culture.
