Delicious food cooked live on stage in fundraising event at Theatre Royal

A food-themed fundraiser featuring the talents of celebrity chefs Lilian Hiw and Saira Hamilton is taking place at the Theatre Royal Bury St Edmunds in the summer.

The pair will be demonstrating their culinary abilities live on stage on Thursday, June 27.

Lilian is a cookery teacher, food stylist, cake designer and baker from Singapore and is classically trained and her travels all over Asia inspired her style of cooking.

She combines a deep-rooted passion for food with a wealth of experience in hospitality and catering.

Lilian is also known for her flavour combinations, presentation and her ability to demystify Asian cookery, offering cuisines from Singapore, Thailand, Vietnam, Hong Kong, Malaysia, Indonesia, China and Japan.

Saira is a food writer and cookery teacher, whose Bangladeshi-inspired food took her to the final four of BBC 1’s MasterChef where she won high praise for her delicious food and deft spicing.

Presenter Gregg Wallace said; “This lady understands ingredients, she knows food. She can do delicious”.

Michelin-starred chef Atul Kochhar said: “Saira has a gift for spicing.”

Together the pair will demonstrate some of their favourite dishes live on stage.

The audience will learn how to make Vietnamese Prawn Summer Rolls, Hoisin Peanut Sauce, Chinese Jiaozi, Qurma Murgha and Lachi Paratha, all in a show where there will be the opportunity to ask questions and maybe even have a go yourself.
