The Vitality IT20 brings fast-paced, thrilling action to the cricket pitch and with one of the greatest competitive rivalries in cricket, the England v India IT20 match will be nothing short of exciting.
The 501 hospitality facility at Edgbaston will be welcoming guests into its doors for this gripping event. And to add to the excitement, renowned Chef Dan Lee will be in the 501* kitchens cooking up excellence for the England v India IT20.
Dan Lee grew up in Birmingham, surrounded by his aunt who was also a chef and a major influence to him along with many Asian chefs in the UK, contributing to his decision to pursue a culinary career. Before appearing on MasterChef: The Professionals, Dan had spent the best part of a decade traveling and working around the world, including at Michelin-starred restaurant, Table 65 in Singapore. The time he spent in Singapore, along with his Chinese heritage, he credits for its influence on his style of cooking.
Throughout his career, Dan has created a range of beautiful and carefully curated dishes. Dan loves to create well balanced fusion cuisine that combines Asian flavours with European techniques, and his passion for travelling and exploring new cultures has allowed his love for cooking to grow, discovering new techniques, approaches and ingredients from around the world.
Dan is now the proud owner of the MasterChef: The Professionals 2021 trophy and aims to share his food and cooking style to more people in the future.
Dan likes to take his own spin on classic dishes and going forward wants to cook more street food style cuisine, promoting Asian food and encouraging people to step outside of their comfort zones and try new things.
After growing up in Birmingham and working in the kitchens at Edgbaston Cricket Ground as a young chef, Dan will return to Edgbaston to cook up a storm for the IT20 England v India in the 501* hospitality facility.
501* is Edgbaston’s newest event space, named after the West Indies legend, Brian Lara’s record-breaking unbeaten 501 for Warwickshire in 1994.
