Our Award-Winning Chef Sits on Other Side of Judging Table at True Taste Awards! | June 24, 2009
Chef Anand George – Mint & Mustard’s award-winning maestro – has been sampling some of Wales’ best culinary delights as an expert judge at the heats of the True Taste Awards!
The awards – which celebrate the development of inspiring food and drink in Wales – took place in Horeb, North Wales on 18th June, with categories ranging from meat and poultry to confectionary.
Each item was judged on extensive criteria, taking into account the combination of ingredients, quality of production and overall appeal of the product as well as its relevance to its target market and customer base.
Chef George said: “It was a new and exciting experience sampling food as a judge rather than as a competitor at these awards. The judging panel sampled a total of 80 desserts over the course of one day – which was a big, but enjoyable undertaking!
“Acting as a judge is not just about an acute knowledge of ingredients and taste, but also about understanding the consumer – their preferences, trends and budget – something that is of prime importance during this difficult economic time.”
He added, “The breadth and quality of food on offer in Wales is outstanding, and this is something that the True Taste awards endeavour to showcase. At our Mint and Mustard restaurant, we use locally sourced ingredients to create innovative Indian dishes – a fusion of cultures that we are proud of.”
The True Taste Awards final – which boasts a total of 7 categories – will take place on 8th July in Cardiff, with an official awards ceremony to congratulate the winners in November.
