Zest Quest Asia announces support scheme
The competition exposes many student chefs to the myriad cuisines of Asia.
Zest Quest Asia, the competition founded by Cyrus and Pervin Todiwala which exposes many student chefs to the myriad cuisines of Asia, has announced details of its financial support scheme for teams entering the 2025 edition. Grants of £1,000 will be available on application for up to six colleges fulfilling the criteria, to help with the costs associated with entering. Up to £500 of this will come from the Worshipful Company of Cooks of London to assist with travel and subsistence.
'We are extremely grateful'
Cyrus Todiwala said: “It is a sad fact that many of our hospitality colleges are closing and those that are still doing great work with student chefs to prepare them for a career in our industry sometimes struggle financially when it comes to extra-curricular training, like participation in competitions such as ours. We are extremely grateful to The Savoy Educational Trust, The Antonio Carluccio Foundation and the Worshipful Company of Cooks of London, who have each approved applications from us to support college teams entering Zest Quest Asia in 2025.”
The aim is to expand the number of smaller colleges that are able to enter, especially those that are be based further away, to ensure the contest is as inclusive as possible. For more information, contact Cora Strachan at [email protected].
