An initiative to ease the shortage of curry chefs

You and Yours

Available for over a year

Five centres of excellence have been opened around the UK to help recruit more people to work in the UK's curry industry - we find out how this will help ease a shortage of chefs. Why a legal ruling in Europe could pave the way for VAT to be removed from hot takeaway food and drink, and recent sales figures show small stores are out-performing their larger counterparts. Why is this good for the wider economy? Presented by Julian Worricker. Produced by Alex Lewis.
