THE ART OF COOKING WITH KHALIDYA PALACE RAYHAAN BY ROTANA

Khalidiya Palace Rayhaan by Rotana held a live cooking demonstration of select recipes in Abu Dhabi centre for humanitarian care and special needs people.

Chef Abu Halab, Executive Chef at Kamoon Restaurant, engaged the children in an interactive cooking session, crafting classic delicacies. The session also witnessed an exchange of ideas for putting together wholesome meals, featuring different cuisines that can be savored in many occasions.

“The smiles on the children’s faces, and full bellies were our main goal. Chef Abu Halab did his best to make them feel special, and prepare for them a delicious meal that will be remembered for long. Helping and reaching out to these organizations is an amazingly rewarding experience.” said Eleni Tsolakou, General Manager at Khalidiya Palace by Rotana.

The happiness of the children was mesmerizing, they were interacting with everyone, and this day will surely be remembered by its good food making and joy.” said Chef Abu Halab, Executive Chef at Khalidiya Palace by Rotana.

The children were very happy to help making some of the traditional Arabic dishes, and the Chef was glad he had that much help. He was keen on providing the children with a set of guidelines on ways of preparing and serving a range of Arab dishes, which demonstrated his unmatched culinary skills in the preparation of the same. His colleagues were there making sure that the children are having fun, and that everything goes smoothly. It was a day full of laughter and fun.
