While we toured the best pastry shops, worked alongside top chefs and enjoyed Michelin star meals, the highlight of my trip with @thecreamlab.me was getting to know the French way of food production. Understanding how special care is put into making fresh French milk, cream and yogurts is mind blowing. Many start with family owned businesses, rules and regulations set for the welfare of the animals, sustainability, local and artisanal production. French are very big on maintaining traditions and passing on the knowledge while improving it for the well-being of the planet and their communities. I can’t wait to share with you…

Continue ReadingWe came here 14 years ago and since then felt at home. Beautiful UAE has taught us that culture and traditions are as important as adapting and evolving. 50 years of unity, of being welcoming to so many of us with opportunities, love and tolerance. 50 years of vision. For someone like me who loves (but is broken hearted by) my own home country, all I can say is: God bless UAE and thank you for being my family’s, my friends’ and my own home.Recipe in previous post for these super easy and delicious cookies made with pure French butter…

Continue ReadingLebanese. These talented people are my friends from Lebanon. André @andre_arysta moved here with his family a year ago. Nadine @thekitchenbabe and Nicole @eatlikenicole are now between Dubai and Beirut. So much talent in this photo. So much love. So much heartache. I believe our strength lies in our connections, in the social aspect of us Lebanese. We love to be amongst friends, we love to share a meal, and have a good laugh. And for that moment, we are home. We are in Leban(ese/on).

Continue ReadingI learnt from my friend Stasha, that you can be a multiple awards winning business owner, a sharp restauranteur yet be as kind and as gentle as the delicious bread they serve at @21grams.dubai. Few places in Dubai have staff members who remember their patrons’ names, who survived multiple crisies including a pandemic and come out of it stronger, better and bigger. So proud of you Stasha, love you my friend. PS: did you know that 21grams is believed to be the weight of the soul?
