Australian master chef Emma Dean has recently arrived in Dhaka and joined the Rupchanda-The Daily Star Super Chef 2015 competition as a guest judge.

“I really enjoy Bangla-deshi cuisine,” she said.

For Dean's reception, a five-course dinner by Chef Syed Tazammul Huq (Tareq) was arranged in the city's Watercress restaurant. A session titled “An Evening with Emma” was organised for Bangladeshis to get a chance to meet her.

Mahfuz Anam, editor and publisher of The Daily Star; Shoeb Md Asaduzzaman, head of sales and marketing at Bangladesh Edible Oil Limited; Inam Ahmed, General Manager, Bangladesh Edible Oil Limited; Sheikh Aftab Ahmed, managing director of Olive Tree Foods, and Ranjan Kumar Datta, head of sales and marketing of NTV, attended the gala dinner.
