[ad#banner] I like to eat with my fingers. I know, I know...I am a chef and I shouldn't do such things...but I do. Maybe that is why I love Thai food so much, and the foods of South East Asia for that matter. It is as rustic as it gets, and if you want to Comment - Like

Have you ever created something when you really were not planning on it? For those of us in the food industry, and for those who make a lot of coffee (cappuccino in this case) it seems that creating something, even when you are not trying to comes with some ease. As a chef, I get Comment - Like

It’s a slow summer day here in Dubai. Summers here are hot and with Ramadan upon us the days are long as no food or drink can be consumed during daylight hours. Idle hands and time makes a chefs mind wander and today it is about the term organic. Back in 1997 when I was Comment - Like
