Sardinian chef Corrado Pani has become executive chef at Grand Millennium Dubai, joining the hotel from Ritz-Carlton Dubai.
Pani graduated with a culinary diploma from Hotel Management School in Algherto, Italy, before starting his career as a commis chef at Sheraton Porto Cervo.
He went on to work across South America, Scandinavia, the Caribbean, North America and the Mediterranean onboard cruise lines, working for Celebrity, Royal Princess and Costa.
A move to London was next, when Pani worked at the Forte Village Resort and the Grosvenor House prior to opening his own restaurant, Deco, in Sardinia.
In 2002 he relocated to the Middle East as head chef at the Beach Rotana Hotel and Towers in Abu Dhabi.
Hermann Feigl, director of F&B at the Grand Millenium Dubai, said: “Having won many awards for his work and with a fine appreciation of the requirement for the very best ingredients, we can expect cookery at the highest levels, and a few surprises.
“With signature dishes in the past including octopus panzanella, burrata and watermelon and miso codfish martini, Corrado will be ringing the changes on the menu at the Grand Millennium Dubai.”
