A chef is celebrating after winning \u00a3500 cash thanks to Tilda! As part of the rice people\u2019s 50th<\/sup> anniversary celebrations, Tilda\u2019s Basmati Bonanza is giving foodservice chefs the chance to win big cash prizes by finding a highly sought-after Golden Ticket in 5Kg and 10Kg bags of Tilda Easy Cook Basmati.<\/p>\n

Sous Chef, Phil Samuel from Bagshot Park, one of CHD Living\u2019s Rehabilitation Centres won one of the top prizes during his service at the facility.<\/p>\n

Speaking of the win, Phil Samuel, who has been a dedicated cost sector chef for 35 years said;<\/p>\n

\u201cFinding the Golden Ticket was a pleasant surprise to say the least! I\u2019d noticed the promotion on the bag but hadn\u2019t thought too much of it, I\u2019d thought \u2013 \u2018what are the chances I\u2019d win!\u2019 I was throwing the bag into the bin when I noticed that something had fallen out. Picking it up I realised what the ticket was – it was a real Charlie and the Chocolate Factory moment!\u201d<\/p>\n

Bagshot Park offers specialised facilities for people with neurological disorders and injuries. The aim of this centre is to get patients to a stage where they can live their lives independently and as their needs vary, so too does the catering. The highly skilled team cater to a wide range of diets to suit patients\u2019 needs, ensuring each option is tasty and nutritious.<\/p>\n

Samuel adds;<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s incredibly rewarding to work here as we can see the positive impact that food has on a patient\u2019s life. We\u2019re able to give them something enjoyable to eat and help improve their diets. It\u2019s great to see people progress on their journey, for example when they move from puree diets to solids, and we can assist their recovery.\u201d<\/p>\n

Tilda\u2019s Easy Cook Basmati is the rice of choice at both centres as it\u2019s easy to work with and is popular for its anti-stick and holding abilities. As a superb accompaniment, it is especially popular in dishes that are highly spiced like their Middle Eastern curries. The Bagshot Centre champions comfort food with the focus on \u2018good home cooking\u2019 for its patients, with each dish being served with a choice of sides including Tilda Basmati rice.<\/p>\n

Speaking of the prize, Annette Coggins, Head of Foodservice, Tilda UK says:<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Basmati Bonanza is about chefs like Phil \u2013 it\u2019s about saying thank you to the chefs that work so hard in the industry that we all hold so dearly. It\u2019s extremely humbling to hear about Phil. His dedication to what he does each day in such a selfless role is very inspiring. Congratulations chef, we hope you enjoy this well-deserved prize!\u201d<\/p>\n

With a remaining \u00a3500 still up for grabs and the \u00a31000 jackpot yet to be found, chefs are being encouraged to check their Tilda Easy Cook Basmati bags now and enter the Basmati Bonanza by 31st<\/sup> March 2022.
