Earlier in the day, teams from semi-finalist colleges would have competed in a cook-off, helping to fulfil the aims of a competition &#8212; founded by restaurateurs Cyrus and Pervin Todiwala with the involvement of the Master Chefs of Great Britain \u2013 designed to recognise student chefs\u2019 skills and knowledge of Asian cookery. The finalist colleges will be revealed in mid-March.<\/p>\n<p class=\"yiv4049554122MsoNormal\">The Zest Quest Asia Gala Dinner and Awards Night will kick off with a drinks reception featuring Asian-inspired canapes prepared by students of the London Geller College of Hospitality and Tourism of the University of West London, past winners of Zest Quest Asia. It will be followed by a tantalising 4-course dinner created by Cyrus Todiwala, assisted by chef friends and highlighting local British produce.<\/p>\n<p class=\"yiv4049554122MsoNormal\">Cyrus Todiwala said, \u201cThis is going to be a very special event. After two years, during which time we did everything we could to keep up the momentum of the competition by going on-line, it\u2019s great to be able to celebrate the students\u2019 talent and achievements in a room full of cheering supporters.\u00a0 I\u2019d like to see as many people as possible \u2013 parents, colleges, suppliers and members of our amazing hospitality family, including the media, come together on the night to support our young chefs.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"yiv4049554122MsoNormal\">Zest Quest Asia 2022 enjoys significant support from industry. Sponsors include Panasonic, Tilda, Bidfood, Cobra Beer, Don Papa Rum, Gonzales Byass, Ian MacLeod Distillers, McCormick, Meiko and Chefi.<\/p>\n<p class=\"yiv4049554122MsoNormal\"><b>Tickets are now on sale for the Zest Quest Asia 2022 Gala Dinner and Awards Night at Hilton London Heathrow Airport Terminal Five, Poyle Road, Colnbrook, Slough SL3 0FF.
