Baker & Spice Bakery at Dukkan al Manzil last week played host to students and lecturers from Emirates Academy of Hospitality Management to introduce them to the art of bread making.

Kitts explained, “Here at The Emirates Academy, it has always been our teaching philosophy to bring the real world into the classroom and this field trip is one classic example of how we fulfil this promise to our students.

Its graduates are the future of our industry and the type of individuals we want to meet, encourage, share our passion, and join us, either as interns, or full-time employment in the future.”
