The four desserts included:
- Suji Halwa – Semolina pudding
- Gajar Ka Halwa – Carrot and milk pudding
- Seveyan – Vermicelli milk pudding
- Gulub Jamun Cheesecake
Dipna talked about the many famous guests she has hosted in her restaurant. She shared the tale that King Charles III “loved the carrot pudding when he visited.”
The ten apprentices who attended were Omar Daley-Brown, Morgan Richards, Juliet Duvor, Daniel Lucas, Agnieszka Jones, Daniel Brace, Tom Ives, Roselle Wu, Craig Allen and Daniel Connelly.
One of the apprentices said: “What a great session today. It was great to learn from a pro in her field and also to witness the great relationship between her and her father. Really informative and great fun at the same time. We’ve been cooking and eating desserts all day.”
