At Tilda Foodservice, we are proud to work alongside some of the country\u2019s most respected chefs, including Cyrus Todiwala \u2013 acclaimed chef, author and owner of the renowned Caf\u00e9 Spice Namaste.<\/strong><\/p>\n

With his expertise in balancing tradition with innovation, chef Cyrus is passionate that the right rice makes all the difference, especially when it comes to one of his signature Biryani dishes, where Tilda\u2019s Basmati plays a huge role. He says, \u201cfor our Biryani, we only use Tilda rice because we think it works best.\u201d With an appreciation for quality and consistency, Cyrus values Tilda\u2019s products for their reliable performance, fluffy and separated texture and the ability to absorb bold and diverse flavours.<\/p>\n

Beyond his kitchen, Cyrus is also founder of Zest Quest Asia \u2013 a culinary competition sponsored by Tilda and designed to demonstrate student competitors\u2019 expertise, culinary talent and appreciation of Asian cuisine. The prize each year boasts an all expenses, educational paid trip to an Asian destination.<\/p>\n
