Date published: 04 September 2015


BBC Fusion Chef Aazam Ahmad got the 2015 Feel Good Festival under way with a little help from catering students at Hopwood Hall College.

Students Tom Basford, Adam Duxbury and Damien Thompson took to the celebrity food stage with Aazam. They cooked a number of dishes, including ravioli and a strawberry dessert.

Speaking about their time on stage, Adam said: “It was a good experience and something I have never done before.”

Tom said: “It was a really good experience and it was good to get involved.”

Damien added: “I’m glad we did it.”

Chef James Holden gave a helping hand, accompanying them on stage during their cookery slot.

The Celebrity Food Kitchen continues on Saturday with appearances from Rachel Allen and Kevin Woodford.
