MAGNIFICENT SEVEN TO SERVE UP CHOCOHOLIC DREAM DINNER


A line-up of seven masterchefs and chefs – including Pierre Herme, the man dubbed by Vogue magazine as ‘The Picasso of Pastry’ will be serving up a unique feast paying tribute to the versatility of the cocoa bean in Gourmet Abu Dhabi’s Chocolate Dinner.

Hermé will be joined by fellow French compatriots Frederic Bai, Hugues Pouget and Vincent Bourdin as well as Spain’s Charles Mampel and Loretta Fanella – hailed as the rising star of the international pastry scene - who will work with Darren Andow, Executive Chef of the hosting Yas Island Rotana Hotel to present the culinary masterpiece.
Taking place at the Yas Island Rotana Hotel on February 16, as part of the Gourmet Abu Dhabi culinary festival, the evening is not just for the sweet-toothed.

"It will be something of an eulogy to the cocoa bean which will be used in a range of savoury dishes and sweet creations,” said Noura Al Dhaheri, Tourism Dining and Retail Section Head, Abu Dhabi Tourism Authority (ADTA), which is presenting Gourmet Abu Dhabi until February 19.

“One thing is for sure, it will be an evening like no other and one which should produce lasting memories.”
