“I started my career as a trainee cook. Actually it was my brother who introduced me to this field. I never planned to enter this field I would have done some kind of business instead.

 
Then I went to the Middle East where I worked as a pastry chef in Bahrain for ten years and on my return to Sri Lanka, started working at the Aitken Spence Hotel group as a Skills Development Chef.”

Dimuthu is presently preparing a team for the 2008 Culinary World Cup. “Yes I am already a teacher. I teach Skills Development with the objective of creating a team that will represent our country in the 2008 Olympics” Dimuthu stated.
