Alfred Patrick Prasad - Head Chef, The Tamerind Restaurant Notting Hill London
The Tamerind restaurant is a beautiful Indian restaurant located in Queen Street in Mayfair and run by Head Chef Alfred.
Indian food is hugely popular all over the world and is a multi million pound industry in the UK.
This Michelin starred restaurant is most definitely a great ambassador for Indian food and Indian cooking.
When we arrived early in the morning it was quiet and the restaurant had an almost spiritual feel to it and it is certainly a place I will come back to eat in as soon as I can.
Alfred Patrick Prasad is originally from India and after 5 years of training in Hotel school and working for two years in Delhi arrived in the UK in 1999.
Alfred spent some time working in "Veeraswany" in London the very first Indian restaurant outside of India. Alfred is among the elite of his fellow Indian chefs because he has been awarded a Michelin star-"what an honour".
Alfred is a chef with a definite goal, he is very calm, very disciplined and focussed.
In fact in conversation with Alfred I would guess had he not dedicated himself to cooking he would make a great Yoga teacher as he has a very special personality.
Alfred's next goal is to be among first few Indian chefs to be honoured with two Michelin stars and I have no doubt we will be reading about him doing just that in the future.
