In 2009 he was appointed honorary Officer of the Order of the British Empire (OBE) for "services to culinary arts". Early lifeHom was born in Tucson, Arizona, to Taishanese parents.[1] He was raised in Chicago, Illinois, by his widowed mother, after his father died when Hom was eight months old.[2] Hom first learned cooking at the age of eleven when he worked in his uncle's Chinese restaurant.[3] He went to California to study History of Art at the University of California, Berkeley. During this time he taught Italian cooking lessons at weekends to supplement his college fees. This led him on to teach Chinese cookery classes. In 1977 he was invited to join San Francisco's new California Culinary Academy as an instructor. TV careerIn 1982, after a 2-year global search, the BBC auditioned him for a Chinese cookery series. The resulting TV series Ken Hom's Chinese Cookery was a huge success and the companion book became one of the best-selling cookery books ever published by BBC Books, selling more than 1.5 million copies. Today after numerous printings it still remains in print. He has since appeared in a number of prime time BBC TV series that have sold throughout the world. His series for KBS, a five-hour documentary on the history of the noodle, sold in 23 countries and won the prestigious Peabody award in 2010. In 2012 he co-presented the BBC series A Culinary Adventure with Ching He Huang. CharitySince 2008, Hom has been an ambassador for Action Against Hunger, a humanitarian charity which works in over 40 countries helping families to feed their children and build a sustainable life. In 2010, he was diagnosed with prostate cancer and had proton radiation therapy in Japan. The cancer was successfully treated and he is now an ambassador for Prostate Cancer UK (formerly known as The Prostate Cancer Charity), building awareness for the early detection and treatment of cancers.
