Truffle lovers in the UAE are in for a gastronomic treat in November as ‘chef for hire’ Andy Campbell hosts a series of truffle-related events across the UAE alongside famed Italian truffle expert Massimo Vidoni.
From a cookery demonstration at the Miele Gallery at the Dubai World Trade Centre to exclusive Supper Club dinners, gourmands in the UAE will have the chance to learn more about the mysteries of one of the world’s most expensive foods.
Andy Campbell, who has worked as head chef at a number of London’s finest fine dining restaurants including Marco Pierre White’s Café Royale, Anthony Worrell Thompson’s Ménage a Trois and the French House in London’s Soho, will be cooking truffle inspired menus at a variety of locations throughout the month.
