Speaking about the inspirational day, Annette Coggins, Head of Foodservice, Tilda UK said:<\/p>\n

\u201cZest Quest Asia is bigger than ever, and we want to ensure that our talented young chefs are supported not only for the competition but can reap the benefits in the future when cooking this exciting and vibrant cuisine. Rice can play an important part on menus, from vegan and gluten-free to global cuisine, it can carry any flavour and be in any course, making it a star ingredient in the kitchen. We hope our finalists are feeling inspired and we can\u2019t wait to see what they cook up in the grand finale!\u201d<\/p>\n

For the seventh round of the Asian cookery competition, the Tilda \u2018Best Use of Rice\u2019 winning college will join the rice people on the Tilda Italia Tour, spending time in the stunning Po Valley in Northern Italy and the cosmopolitan city of Milan. The two night trip will give budding chefs the opportunity to learn the story behind Tilda\u2019s world famous Arborio rice, explore the paddy fields and have an exclusive tour of the rice mill. Discover the hidden gastro gems with a food safari in Milan, as well as enjoy some of the best and most exciting Asian inspired restaurants the city has to offer.<\/p>\n
