Zest Quest Asia tickets now on sale

Jan 6, 2023

Tickets are now on sale for the 2023 Zest Quest Asia Gala Dinner and Awards Night on Friday 17th February 2023 at Radisson Red Hotel London Heathrow. The event will celebrate the efforts and achievements of the college students and tutors vying for the title of 2023 Zest Quest Asia Champions.

Earlier in the day, finalists would have competed in a live cook-off, helping to fulfil the aims of the competition founded by restaurateurs Cyrus and Pervin Todiwala with the involvement of the Master Chefs of Great Britain. This is to raise student chefs’ skills and knowledge of Asian cookery.

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 Sheffield College, current title holders. Cyrus Todiwala, assisted by chef friends, will prepare a four-course menu with chef friends highlighting different trends in Asian cuisine.

He said: “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.”

The event, which is celebrating its tenth year, enjoys significant support from industry. This year’s Gold sponsors include Meiko, Panasonic and Schwartz by McCormick Flavour Solutions.

Tickets are now on sale for the Zest Quest Asia 2023 Gala Dinner and Awards Night at Radisson Red Hotel London Heathrow, Bath Road, West Drayton, Heathrow UB7 0DU. Prices are £90pp and £850 for a table of 10. Supporting Partner/Student Admission prices are £75pp.
