Tony Singh is returning to Taste North
Tony Singh MBE, one of the UK's best-loved celebrity chefs, who last attended Taste North in 2018 said,
“I can’t wait to be back at Taste North again this year! Caithness, you lot really know how to put on a show – the food, the drink, the craic, it’s fantastic! I’m looking forward to getting stuck into all the amazing local produce, meeting some of the incredible people behind it, and of course, cooking up a storm at the cookery theatre. It’s going to be a brilliant day out, so make sure you come along, have a nibble, and say hello. See you there on Sunday 3rd of November!”
A second-generation Scottish Sikh, Tony was born and raised in Leith, Edinburgh, and learned at his mother’s knee the cookery skills which would see him create the unique fusion of Scottish and Asian flavours for which he is so well known.
Known for his quick-fire wit and cheeky personality, Tony is a firm favourite on British television, starring in BBC2 programmes, A Cook Abroad: Tony Singh’s India, and The Incredible Spice Men, with Cyrus Todiwala.
Alongside this, Tony makes regular appearances on cookery shows including The Great British Menu, Saturday Kitchen and Ready Steady Cook, as well as guest spots on Pointless, Celebrity Eggheads, Celebrity Mastermind and many others.
