Odds
On Scotland
The odds
are on Scotland to win the 15th International Indian Chef of the Year
run by entrepreneur, restaurateur and hotelier Tommy Miah.
The event was
launched recently at the House of Commons where Alex Salmond M.P.
welcomed press and interested parties. He praised Tommy Miah's
efforts of the continuing success of the event which has "raised
the status of Indian cuisine". Whilst guests enjoyed food from
little tiffin boxes provided by past winner Shamim Syed of Durbar, Mr
Salmond announced the 6 finalists which include one Japanese competitor.
Five of the
finalists come from Scotland and one from Northampton so the odds are
on Scotland's side when Chairman of Judges Lord Fraser of Carmyllie
QC presides over the final on March 12th in Edinburgh.
Tommy had a
dual purpose for being in London, as he was completing meetings about
the opening of his new Raj Hotel in Kensington in the hope of
emulating the success he has enjoyed in Edinburgh.
