:dateline:Glasgow Gurdwara welcomed British Bake Off star, James Morton and father, Tom Morton to the Glasgow Gurdwara to kick-off National Langar Week. Langar enables people from all backgrounds to come together, eat and share food and by simply doing so, promotes a oneness and equality amongst all people.�
Guru Nanak set out to uphold the principles of equality, justice and humanity between all people regardless of religion, caste, colour, creed, age, gender or social status.�
Charandeep Singh, General Secretary, the Glasgow Gurdwara said:
�Langar is a revolutionary concept and lets people from all backgrounds eat, learn and share together and promotes equality between all. Here at the Glasgow Gurdwara we serve up to 3,000 meals a week all cooked by local volunteers using local ingredients, acting as an opportunity to carry out Seva, Selfess Service in the community. We were delighted to welcome Tom & James to the Gurdwara and hope more people will join us for food in the future.�
James Morton, Great British Bake Off Finalist said,�
�Having visited the Glasgow Gurdwara today I have left with a new found passion for how different communities use food. Langar is very much a core part of what every Gurdwara offers and I was lucky enough to work with local volunteers in the kitchen and even managed to add my own twist to the Chapatti by adding in sweet beetroot!�
Tom Morton, food blogger and radio presenter said,�
�The Glasgow Gurdwara is an impressive building but inside it is even more so. I enjoyed such a warm welcome from everyone in the Gurdwara and I was fascinated to see how food is used by the Scottish Sikh community. The Langar was exceptionally tasty!��
