| Young people
not aware of chef apprenticeship places on
offer |
 According
to new YouGov research, commissioned by the
Hospitality Guild, almost one in every three
(30%) 16-24 year olds and 30 per cent of unemployed
people would consider working in a top Asian
or Oriental restaurant, yet a new apprenticeship
scheme to train chefs in Asian and Oriental
cuisine is not fully subscribed despite government
funding available for training apprentices
(100% of training is covered for 16-18 year
olds, 50% for 19+ year olds).

| London
Top Ten Best Curry Chefs |
 It
is almost a crime to describe this group of
London's top ten curry experts as "curry
chefs"! Pioneers of Indian cuisine, they
are leaders in innovation, authentic textures
and flavours, artistic presentation, culinary
performance and are all round masters of the
art of cooking. I had considered calling them
Britain's Top Ten Best Curry Chefs, but the
eagle-eyed among you will have noticed that
they are all based in London, the global capital
for Indian cuisine.
