Although she commutes daily from Brighton to Westminster Kingsway College to study for her Professional Chef Diploma, Beth had never travelled to India and was cooking in an unfamiliar environment.

Lecturer Chris Basten helped Beth to prepare for the challenge. He said: “I’m immensely proud of Beth for all her hard work and dedication, as well as her skill as a chef.”

One of just ten competitors to reach the finals, Beth’s skills were closely watched by a panel of expert judges including Professor David Foskett MBE, Anton Edelmann, who was maître chef de cuisines at The Savoy for over 20 years, and top UK chefs Brian Turner and Chris Galvin.
