The first in a series of cooking classes over the Academic year. These classes are for chefs who are interested in different food trends who would like to spend time with chefs at their restaurant kitchens and learn authentic recipes (that can be scaled for larger catering).

Overview

Who is this for? 

Chefs, amateur cooks, menu planners / creators and anyone interested in increasing their recipe bank!

Why should I take part?

You will spend time with like minded colleagues from the industry, using authentic recipes under the guidance of chefs who have authentic knowledge of the ingredients and menu items. After cooking your menu, you will consume the food you have created and take away the recipes from the day to take back to your institution.

 

Dipna Anand at the Brilliant restaurantDipna

"Welcome to my vibrant culinary world, where tradition meets innovation. My passion for cooking was kindled in the bustling kitchens of my family's acclaimed Indian restaurant (The Brilliant in Southall), where age-old recipes have been passed down through generations. This is our flag-ship eatery where my father Gulu leads at the forefront and my brother Shanks and I continue the family tradition and strive to take the 'Brilliant' name even further. As a chef, author, and culinary instructor, I extend a warm invitation to food enthusiasts to explore my diverse array of recipes, cooking classes, and gastronomic insights. Explore the site to discover mouth-watering recipes, engaging cooking tutorials, my latest projects and collaborations, an insight into my cookery school and also my very own e-shop. Welcome to a world where every dish tells a story.

The Brilliant isn't just a restaurant; it's an institution that has flourished into a cornerstone of the community. Renowned for its rich blend of traditional Punjabi cuisine with unique Kenyan specialities, The Brilliant has carved out a niche that transcends ordinary dining experiences. The flavours here are as much about heritage as they are about spice, crafted from recipes that have travelled continents and been lovingly passed down through generations."
