Hi there - I'm a journalist, podcaster, editor and MC
Lee Tran Lam has written for The Guardian, Good Food, ABC, Gourmet Traveller, Eater, Rolling Stone, Art Guide Australia, BBC, Sydney Morning Herald, The Big Issue, Australian Financial Review, Good Weekend, Gastro Obscura and even Turkish Vogue (which is funny if you've seen the state of her closet)!
Her first podcast, The Unbearable Lightness of Being Hungry, was launched in 2012. It was followed by the Culinary Archive podcast for Sydney's Powerhouse Museum and Should You Really Eat That? – an award-winning SBS show that's attracted over 400,000 downloads.
Time Out Sydney called her a Future Shaper and she is the editor of the New Voices on Food books for Diversity In Food Media.
Lee Tran has been described as "one of Australia's leading food journalists" by Broadsheet and one of the “50 greatest changemakers in food in Australia” by SBS.
She's also worn many other hats (MC, consultant, radio host, guest speaker, researcher, sub-editor, zine-maker) and yes, a Sydney cafe once named a sandwich after her!

magazines and eventually became Inside Out magazine's managing editor.
She currently works as a freelancer and is based in Sydney (Gadigal), Australia.
My interests
Lee Tran has written about food, music, travel, film, interiors, visual arts and books – covering everything from Tokyo's emergence as the world's pizza capital to the messy art of making fake blood.
She is passionate about the local dining scene and her reviews for Good Food have highlighted uniquely Sydney venues such as an Afro-Indian chai bar, a Persian restaurant specialising in tahdig sandwiches and an Indigenous bakery making incredible wattleseed bread.
