Nestlé Professional assistant brand manager Mary-Ann Gardner said that the company had been enthusiastic about the event form the start.
“We believe in the importance of inspiring chefs to get creative,” she explained.
“The Seasonal Challenge is designed to deliver just that: chefs were challenged to innovate and utilise seasonal ingredients, with only a very basic kitchen set-up to help them create inspiring dishes.

“The outcome was spectacular! It gives us great pleasure to ensure the chefs share knowledge and stimulate ideas.”
Gardner added that it had been gratifying to see chefs from different properties and outlets working together so successfully.
“It is always inspiring to see the camaraderie between chefs in the industry, and the teamwork and innovation displayed at this event between chefs that had never met each other before was the icing on the cake for us.
“We salute all the chefs that participated and I think perhaps we will be seeing more seasonal cuisine in menus around Dubai,” she predicted.
