Following the success of the Dusit International Eat Well, Feel Well in Asia in 2011, Daniel Green, healthy-eating expert and internationally-renowned television celebrity chef and author, will launch a healthy-eating campaign in Dubai at the Dusit Thani.

Green will visit the UAE for the first time from February 5-9, 2012 bringing with him a selection of healthy, low-calorie recipes from a wide range of cuisines from breakfast to appetisers, soups, main dishes and desserts. The dishes will help to balance an individual’s nutritious diet and introduce guests to great-tasting healthy dining-out options.

James Wilson, general manager Dusit Thani Dubai said: "We are delighted to welcome Daniel Green to Dubai to launch the Dusit International Eat Well, Feel Well healthy eating programme in the Middle East. With an extremely high incidence of early onset diabetes in the region, and a culture that encourages dining out, Dusit Thani Dubai is delighted to be introducing exciting new dishes in a restaurant setting that are as healthy as they are tasty.
