Only in the Middle East. April 12, 2014. By Middle East Moments. I headed off with anticipation. Would they be there, would this drive deliver the outcome that I wanted, would I see what I was looking for, had my memory from last year grown bigger than the reality? 10 minutes down the road I turned off and headed along a back track towards my destination. I craned my eyes, I couldn’t see any of them and then as I came over the crest of the hill and my breath caught in my throat. April 12, 2014 at 9:37 pm.

The Dubai Guzzler: February 2010

http://duguzzle.blogspot.com/2010_02_01_archive.html

The city's unofficial food and restaurant digest. Saturday, 27 February 2010. Black cod, bluefin and Greenpeace: Nobu speaks (part II). The Nobu interview continues. We've chewed the fat about black cod and Nobu's many imitators, so now it's time to get down to the nitty gritty. JB: Do you worry this type of ‘contemporary Japanese’ restaurant might go out of fashion? NM: Well, people are still coming to Nobu-style restaurants. Why? And you don’t think people will get bored of it? It’s your fault! You kno...

The Dubai Guzzler: The Lost Interviews, No.2: Ainsley Harriott

http://duguzzle.blogspot.com/2012/06/lost-interviews-no2-ainsley-harriott.html

The city's unofficial food and restaurant digest. Friday, 1 June 2012. The Lost Interviews, No.2: Ainsley Harriott. Another 'forgotten interview' from 2008. Tell us about your involvement with the festival of Taste. Do you see yourself more as a performer or as a chef? I think both. I’ve just done the programme Who Do You Think You Are. You uncovered some uncomfortable truths about your family history. How did that experience affect your life? That’s very positive, but there was also the negative s...

The Dubai Guzzler: April 2010

http://duguzzle.blogspot.com/2010_04_01_archive.html

The city's unofficial food and restaurant digest. Tuesday, 20 April 2010. Justified ancients of momo. Almost everyone in Dubai has access to the food that reminds them of home. One thing that always surprises me, however, is the shocking lack of Nepalese food. It’s like: Where are you from, sir? Oh, the Galapagos Islands? Darwin burgers this way. And you, sir? Forget it mate, the airport’s over there. To meet up with the other volunteers in my group. The restaurant was in a stately building, once the...

The Dubai Guzzler: January 2010

http://duguzzle.blogspot.com/2010_01_01_archive.html

The city's unofficial food and restaurant digest. Saturday, 30 January 2010. This place is full of Chinese people. That’s a good sign. Both of the above statements are true of China Sea. This legendary restaurant opposite the clock tower roundabout on Deira’s Maktoum Street attracts a steady stream of Chinese customers, who are no doubt grateful for its authenticity, not to mention its faithfully rendered Chinese food. It reads exactly as follows:. Buffet has more than hundred ingredients, the changes in...

Recipes to please…. November 3, 2013. I would like to wish everyone a very Happy Diwali! They can be a bit tricky to make but practice makes perfect and this is a solid, tried and tested recipe with excellent results. You also need special apparatus for this called a chakli press which gives it the unique shape. Firstly Urad dal or split black gram is to be slightly roasted and powdered. Knead into a stiff dough adding very little water at a time. Set aside for few minutes. 2 tblsp Butter – melted. Now p...

The Dubai Guzzler: The Lost Interviews, No. 3: Michel Roux

http://duguzzle.blogspot.com/2012/06/lost-interviews-no-3-michel-roux.html

The city's unofficial food and restaurant digest. Wednesday, 27 June 2012. The Lost Interviews, No. 3: Michel Roux. Another lost interview from 2008. You became the first restaurant owner in Britain to gain three Michelin stars, how important is Michelin to chefs? Certainly not, but amongst the best. Do you think Michelin will come to Dubai? How does it compare to London or Paris at the moment? Dubai is safe, you could always move there and start another food revolution. Tell me about the Roux Scholarship.

The Dubai Guzzler: May 2010

http://duguzzle.blogspot.com/2010_05_01_archive.html

The city's unofficial food and restaurant digest. Wednesday, 19 May 2010. Al Rawabi milk's gotta lotta bottle. To say that it’s unconventional is like suggesting Gary Glitter might make a poor Godparent. It stands out from anything on the milk shelves like some kind of cubist sculpture, the sort of thing Picasso might have had knocking around his fridge. Such is its post-modern strangeness, it wouldn't look at all out of place on a roundabout in Fujairah. Sunday, 9 May 2010. Simple and no fuss. Yes, it&#...

The Dubai Guzzler: February 2012

http://duguzzle.blogspot.com/2012_02_01_archive.html

The city's unofficial food and restaurant digest. Monday, 6 February 2012. The Lost Interviews, No. 1: Jean-Christophe Novelli. In a short series of 'forgotten interviews' that never saw the light of day, here's one from 2008. Tell me about the Novelli Academy. How did you get into such severe financial trouble in the late 1990s? How badly will the global economic crisis affect restaurants? What did you learn from working with Keith Floyd in the ‘80s? To be criticised is one thing, but it has to be const...
