Winning Authentic Kerala recipe to be featured in the hotel's Restaurant menu.
- (1888PressRelease) August 18, 2011 - In what seems to be the ultimate taste test, Holiday Inn Cochin, the fresh destination for everyday people, today announced their very own recipe competition. Calling for aspiring chefs and budding food connoisseurs across the country to send in recipes of original dishes from Kerala, the competitors stand to win prizes and a chance to have their dish featured in the menu of 'Masala', the hotels' all day dining restaurant.
Commenting on the rules of the contest, Mr. Sanjay Isaac Thomas, Executive Chef at Holiday Inn Cochin said, "We will be judging the recipes across 4 major criteria; accuracy of instructions, taste, appearance and creativity. Original recipes that truly reflect the flavours of the region would be preferred. While Cochin city sees a vast number of tourists and visitors from the world over, we constantly strive to provide our guests with an authentic culinary experience and the winning entry would be added to our list of local dishes served at the restaurant."
Launched last month, Holiday Inn Cochin is both a holiday destination and a preferred accommodation option for business travelers. With its close proximity to the airport and the city centre, the hotel brings a more contemporary feel of the international brand to the city.
Sharing his views on the competition, Mr. Sandit Shah, Director of Sales and Marketing at Holiday Inn Cochin said, "While our F&B offerings do include dishes from Kerala, we look forward to featuring the winning entry on our restaurant menu. Cuisine in Kerala is a celebration of flavours and the competition will help to showcase some of the dishes that originate from this coastal state."
