Good to see Cyrus Todiwala continuing to help British students build their Asian cookery skills. This really is the only route to a sustainable supply of great talent on the UK.

Do the hard work now and we can have ready supply of talent coming out of catering colleges ready to continue to build a great industry in the UK.

Asia is the continent to watch. As the world evolves, countries such as China, India, Vietnam, Indonesia, Malaysia, Sri Lanka, Thailand and the Philippines are striding forth, spreading their wealth and culture around the globe.
And their cuisine — Asian cuisine — is sophisticated and very often spectacular. In Britain today, we can’t get enough of it.
