It's
'Curry Chef' Time Again |
Eight cooks
-- seven male professional chefs and a woman college lecturer -- will
battle again for the prestigious title of International Indian Chef
of the Year in the Training Kitchen of Edinburgh's Telford College on
Friday, March 10.
A panel of
judges, headed by Lord Fraser of Carmyllie QC, will scrutinise their
efforts as they struggle to produce their ideal four-dish Indian meal
and present it to table within the two and a half hour time limit.
The judges then taste all the dishes before retiring to decide which
meal was best at meeting the competition's "innovation and
quality" criteria.
The title and
£l,000 prize, together with the £250 Lady Fraser Prize for
the best Vegetarian Dish, is presented at the annual Curry Ball in
Prestonfield Hotel on Friday evening.
A list of
finalists is attached, along with background information on the
long-running contest.
