Australian
ambassador to Qatar Dr Axel Wabenhorst recently participated, along
with well-known Qatari chef Aisha al-Tamimi, in a live cooking event at
The Curve Hotel.
During the event, Qatar’s well-known dish Al
Machboos was prepared as a means to introduce the audience to the Qatari
cuisine legacy, habits and culture.
Held on the open roof terrace
by the pool at the hotel, the event was attended by a number of
ambassadors, media professionals, journalists and food bloggers.
Dr
Wabenhorst said, “I am grateful for the opportunity to learn about
Qatari food from one of Qatar’s best chefs, Aisha al-Tamimi. The ability
to cook Qatari food will remain with me during my time in Qatar and
afterwards, creating a lasting memory of my posting.”
On the
sidelines, Ezdan Hotels Group acting general manager Wael El Telbany
said: “The Curve Hotel spares no effort to highlight the authenticity of
the Qatari society and its original characteristics and cuisine, which
reflect the society’s diversity and openness to the world.”
The
Curve Hotel, which is managed by Ezdan Hotels, opened at the end of last
year in a strategic location overlooking the Arabian Gulf.
