You're cooking for approx. 60 million people, ok? What's your ambition as a Chef? Creating flavours within the Pan Asian cuisine category, made available for the entire nation? Imagine your creations on the shelves of all the leading supermarkets, for millions to enjoy every week If your food education has been within Asian food, then this opportunity could be you all over. It's a chance to join one of the most respected and popular food brands in the UK as their Pan Asian Development Chef.
