A WOKINGHAM man swapped his putter for a pan when he joined an award-winning chef for a lesson in cooking the perfect curry at a town centre restaurant.

Paul Sullivan, who won the prize during a charity event at Sand Martins Golf Club in Finchampstead, and his wife Elaine, joined Awanish Roy, executive chef at the Sultan in Market Place for a one-on-one masterclass on Indian cuisine.

Mr Roy said he enjoyed welcomed the couple into his kitchen.

“I always enjoy passing on some of the knowledge of Indian cooking I’ve acquired over many years,” he said.

“They were excellent pupils and showed a real flair for cooking at a professional level. Hopefully they’ll be serving up the perfect curry to their dinner party guests.”

Mr Sullivan is the current captain of Sand Martins, which is planning to hold another charity event in September.

It also offers an extensive list of cocktails and mocktails.
