Written by: Admin
Dev Biswal, patron-chef of Margate's Ambrette Restaurant, is leading a team of students in serving a six course meal at Thanet College's Bay View Restaurant in Broadstairs next week (Tuesday 18th October).
Biswal and his chef Anil Kumar will be teaching college student spicing techniques and basic skills associated with Indian cuisine. The students' team leaders will be briefed by The Ambrette chefs about the work plan, who will in turn, brief their sub-teams. The six course menu will cost £18 and will include dishes such as gently spiced potato dumplings, delicate fillet of sea bass, aromatic soup of lentil with mustard and coriander and breast of British chicken. Biswal said: "The Bay View Restaurant used for training the college's catering students, offers great value meals, as has helped produce two of the countries leading celebratory chefs, Gary Rhodes and Richard Phillips. "It's a myth that only Indian-born chefs can prepare authentic dishes from the sub-continent - we should be nurturing our home- grown talent to help tackle the shortage of chefs facing the industry." In addition, Biswal will be giving cookery classes at Ramsgate's Chatham & Clarendon Grammar School Federation's new purpose-built food technology room.
