The event will celebrate the efforts and achievements of the college students who competed for the title of 2023 Zest Quest Asia champions.

The awards night will kick-off with guests enjoying Asian-inspired canapes prepared by students of The Sheffield College, the current title holders. Cyrus Todiwala, with the help of chef friends, will prepare a four-course menu highlighting the different trends in Asian cuisine.

Cyrus Todiwala said: “Asian cooking is a complex art and science. Our competitors will have grasped the challenge, drawing on the culinary traditions and influences of different Asian cultures. The winners will have the chance to physically and mentally immerse themselves in an Asian culture. 

“Once again, we’d love parents, colleges, suppliers and as many people as possible in our hospitality family to join us on the night. It will be a great celebration, and will show our next generation of chefs how much we value the effort they have put in. It’s the gift of encouragement.”

The Zest Quest Asia finalists include:

• Cheshire College – South & West
• North Hertfordshire College
• UHI North Highland
