To the unknown Chef…It’s Sustainable World Gastronomy Day 2020

One of the things that has fascinated me whenever I have traveled is the different cuisines of the countries I have visited, especially the way the food is served and which makes the food very appealing. The caterers understand what it means to garnish your food. Diverse cultures, diverse foods, you would say.

The UN General Assembly on December 21, 2016 adopted its resolution A/RES/71/246 and designated June 18 as an international observance, Sustainable Gastronomy Day. The decision acknowledges gastronomy (food) as a cultural expression related to the natural and cultural diversity of the world.

Well an opportunity presented itself to sample cuisines from other countries during a visit to Dubai in February, 2020, courtesy the Emirates Airline. However, it is an Iranian meal that has been etched on my mind because of the rare experience of having a chef prepare some dessert for us after our main dinner.

Enjoy some exclusive pictures from that experience and other meals during a Bateaux ride on the Dubai Creek, Arabian Tea House as well as food prepared by Emirates' Flight Catering Department and also served aboard our aircraft as captured by #Edmages.
