Ipswich college students were given a masterclass in cooking Indian and Bangladeshi food from a chef who has served English football legends.
Minnar Miah, who owns The Mogul in Manningtree, headed to Suffolk New College to teach a new generation of chefs skills of the trade.
Mr Miah has cooked for English and Arsenal football greats David Seaman and Ian Wright in the past, and was keen to share his knowledge with the future culinary experts.
He said: “The facilities are beautiful. My one piece of advice to the students is that it is hard work, learn and enjoy it.
“I came in to work with the students who were cooking for 35 guests at the college. I taught them how to cook five dishes."
The lucky patrons got to try out the different cuisines once they had been served with Alan Pease, principal and CEO of Suffolk New College, among those in attendance.
“We get a number of top chefs – including some who have gained Michelin stars - who come in to teach our students and it really helps elevate their knowledge," said Mr Pease.
"This county and region really is the food basket of the country and has some amazing places to eat – and The Mogul falls into that category.
“Thanks to Minnar and his team for giving up their time to come and work with our students."
Porsche Clarke, 17, from Felixstowe said: “We learnt new things about cooking chicken and rice.
"We get masterclasses throughout the year so experiences like this are an added bonus (to our course). A big thanks to everyone at The Mogul as it gives me a greater variety of dishes to cook (in the future).”
