Indian Celebrity Chef

Reza Mahammad (www.rezamahammad.co.uk)

Reza's first workshop with ourselves was a fabulous success. Born in England but having spent some time in India and travelling all over the world this chef is passionately a perfectionist.

Clients must be given all of the correct information and guided gently. He will sit after the workshop and go through the whole day advising that there are alternatives that can be used which you are more than likely to have in your pantry. Reza is not only proficient in Indian Cuisine but also Afghani Cuisine. Always very popular
