A YOUNG Southall woman who combines the roles of businesswoman, chef, lecturer and student has been nominated for a prestigious national award.

Dipna Anand, 23, who combines working full time at her father's Indian restaurant and studying for a masters degree, has been shortlisted for the coveted Southern Jewel Awards.

The former Heston School student said: "Just to get a nomination is quite amazing and really unexpected, I'm very honoured by it.

"I developed a low fat menu for my father's restaurant as part of my food technology A-level and I'm currently also writing a cookery book."

Dipna is currently studying for a masters degree in hospitality at Thames Valley University, where she also teaches cookery to B-TEC students.

The awards take place on Wednesday, September 15, and you can find out the results at www.ealingtimes.co.uk
