Chef Vivek Singh surprised his family when he announced his intentions to become a chef. After graduating from catering college, he joined the Oberoi Hotel group focusing on Indian cuisine. Chef Singh then moved to the Grand Hotel in Calcutta where he became the Indian chef of Oberoi’s flagship Rajvilas in Jaipur, at a young age of twenty-six.

Since the opening of The Cinnamon Club in 2001, as the executive chef and CEO of the restaurant, Chef Singh never stopped pushing boundaries and redefining the expectations of Indian cuisine. The Cinnamon Club has since picked up numerous awards for its ‘beyond authentic’ Indian cuisine such as the Best Curry in 2006 by UK Best Dishes Award and the Best in Britain Award every year since 2001. Chef Singh has written four books; one of which Cinnamon Club Seafood Book won a World Gourmet Awards in 2006 for the Best UK Seafood Book. Chef Singh is a familiar face on television with regular appearances on BBC’s Saturday Kitchen and UKTV Food’s Market Kitchen.

Masterchef Vivek Singh will be presenting an Epicurean Delights menu at Rang Mahal from 13 to 18 April 2010.
