Food and drink broadcaster Nigel Barden will host the evening that will see the winners of the Zest Quest Asia competition crowned. Earlier in the day, teams from semi-finalist colleges would have competed in a cook-off to determine the winners.
The Zest Quest Asia Gala Dinner and Awards Night will kick off with a drinks reception featuring Asian-inspired canapes prepared by students and previous winners of Zest Quest Asia. It will be followed by a 4-course dinner created by Cyrus Todiwala, assisted by chef friends and highlighting local British produce.
Cyrus Todiwala said: “This is going to be a very special event. After two years, during which time we did everything we could to keep up the momentum of the competition by going online, it’s great to be able to celebrate the students’ talent and achievements in a room full of cheering supporters.
“I’d like to see as many people as possible – parents, colleges, suppliers and members of our amazing hospitality family, including the media, come together on the night to support our young chefs.”
