This dinner prepared by renowned Indian chef and author Atul Kochhar at Gee’s Restaurant will be a celebration of the Jeremy Mogford Prize for Food and Drink Writing and of Oxford Gastronomica’s association with the festival.  Guests will be joined by leading figures from the culinary scene.  Kochhar is one of the first two Indian chefs to be awarded a Michelin star, and he is renowned for the vibrancy of his food and his subtle use of spices. He created the world-renowned Benares Restaurant, where he gained a second Michelin star, and features in the BBC’s Great British Menu series and is a regular on the BBC’s Saturday Kitchen. He talks about his latest book, Atul’s Curries of the World, at a separate festival event at the Old Bank Hotel.

Oxford Gastronomica is a specialist centre for the study of food and drink based within the Oxford School of Hospitality Management at Oxford Brookes University. The dinner will also see the inaugural award of the £7,500 Jeremy Mogford Prize for Food and Drink Writing.
