Gabriel Toumazis is a home cook, personal trainer, and a contestant on MasterChef UK 2025. The Londoner was introduced to cooking at a young age by his father. He told the BBC: “My passion comes from my dad, who’s the ultimate host. We would always spend Saturday morning watching cooking programmes and learning all of the techniques. We’ve even attended a couple of cookery classes together.”
Describing his style of cooking, Gabriel said: “I really enjoy cooking food that people actually want to eat, nothing too fussy, just delicious and comforting. When I’m hosting friends, I usually lean into Mexican. It’s vibrant, fun and perfect for sharing.
“I also love pulling inspiration from places I’ve travelled recently, like Italy, where the simplicity and bold flavours really stuck with me. I try to cook as many different cuisines as possible. Italian and pasta dishes are my speciality, but I also cook a lot of Asian dishes too as they can be tasty and fairly healthy.”
MasterChef’s Gabriel Toumazis was born in 1995 in London, England.
MasterChef Contestant Gabriel Toumazis lives in London with his wife Holly Toumazis. The couple married on 25 May 2024 and honeymooned in the Maldives.
Chef Gabriel Toumazis is a contestant on Series 21 of MasterChef UK, presented by John Torode and Gregg Wallace on BBC One and BBC iPlayer. He will battle it out in the MasterChef kitchen in the second week of heats alongside Emily Haworth, Fay Souissi, Peter Andrew, Mickaël, and Nick.
Gabriel entered the competition to “challenge myself and advance my cookery skills.” He said: “MasterChef has been a show that I’ve grown up watching – every series. I believe now is the right time for me. I’ve really homed in on my skills in recent years since meeting my wife and having someone else to cook for and impress on a regular basis. Not only would I love to challenge myself and advance my cookery skills, but I also believe I have the ability to win the show. I would love to use MasterChef to launch a career in food.”
He is of Greek descent.
