Comfort Food Twists and Dubai's Culinary Majesty with Tarek Sultani

Send us a text Embark on a sensory escapade with me and the masterful Chef Jeffrey Schlissel, as we reveal the gastronomic wonders from Ibis Images Studios. Feast your ears on the art of creating the ultimate comfort food with a twist—think Kan Kan pork paired with nutritious turnip greens and a 24-hour fermented homemade pizza that promises a symphony of flavors with its caramelized balsamic onion jam and pickled jalapeños. But the surprise doesn't end there; we'll also unfold the story behind a Southern-style chicken dish, cleverly infused with a kimchi kick that will redefine your chicken wing cravings. Finally, we speak with Tarek Sultani from Cucina Del Sul - think being under the expansive desert sky of Dubai, we gather around the flickering flames to witness a feast for the ages, reminiscent of Francis Mallmann's legendary fire-cooked banquets. As we explore the allure of Dubai's food scene, we'll touch on the delicate dance between imported ingredients for authenticity and the embrace of local sustainability. Our discussion will also shine a light on the city's emergence as a culinary destination, marked by the Michelin guide's recent arrival in Abu Dhabi, solidifying the region's gastronomic glory.
