THE 17-DAY CULINARY celebration, the Dubai Food Festival, has announced the first instalment of celebrity chefs who will be headlining the launch celebrations. Representing Arabian, Greek, French and Australian cuisines, these famous names are set to entice and excite the tens of thousands of residents and visitors expected at the Middle East's only citywide food festival.
Serving up a mouth-watering epicurean showcase for Dubai Food Festival will be Australian legends and stars of the critically acclaimed Australian MasterChef series, George Calombaris (pictured) and Gary Mehigan. Also joining them is the French-born star of My Kitchen Rules Manu Feildel; television favourite and restauranteur Matt Moran and the hugely popular restauranteur and author, Shannon Bennett. Adding to this star studded international line-up is the 'Queen of the Arabian Kitchen', Chef Manal Al Alem, a highly celebrated figure in Middle Eastern cooking.
Visitors to the festival, running February 25 to March 12, will have multiple opportunities to get up close to the stars, whether at the highly-popular and exclusive Dining with the Stars events, the family-friendly Beach Canteen on Kite Beach or at the interactive chef MasterClasses at distinguished cookery school Scafa in JLT.
