Qatari delicacies showcased

Australian ambassador to Qatar Dr Axel Wabenhorst recently participated, along with well-known Qatari chef Aisha al-Tamimi, in a live cooking event at The Curve Hotel.
During the event, Qatar’s well-known dish Al Machboos was prepared as a means to introduce the audience to the Qatari cuisine legacy, habits and culture.
Held on the open roof terrace by the pool at the hotel, the event was attended by a number of ambassadors, media professionals, journalists and food bloggers.
Dr Wabenhorst said, “I am grateful for the opportunity to learn about Qatari food from one of Qatar’s best chefs, Aisha al-Tamimi. The ability to cook Qatari food will remain with me during my time in Qatar and afterwards, creating a lasting memory of my posting.”
On the sidelines, Ezdan Hotels Group acting general manager Wael El Telbany said: “The Curve Hotel spares no effort to highlight the authenticity of the Qatari society and its original characteristics and cuisine, which reflect the society’s diversity and openness to the world.”
The Curve Hotel, which is managed by Ezdan Hotels, opened at the end of last year in a strategic location overlooking the Arabian Gulf.
