When stepping out of the cosy, and safe space of your home is not an option anymore, dreams of exploring the world brew up within you. Add in a drizzle of virtual travel and a splattering of gourmet food, and you’ve got what we call #TnlTasteOfTheWorld. Throughout the series, we’ll be getting in touch with chefs from around the world to recreate their signature dishes for you to try at home. After all, who said one needs to leave the house to embark on a culinary trail? Recipe by Chef Ivan Musoni
Grand Hyatt Doha’s executive chef Ivan Musoni is all about bringing global flavours to the table, and effortlessly so! The various dining options available in the hotel’s premises are proof of Chef Musoni’s incredible culinary repertoire. While Isaan serves authentic Thai cuisine, Majlis is a contemporary Middle-Eastern style restaurant. At Rocca, you can dig into flavours from his homeland — Italy.
Taking a page out of this Italian menu and falling back upon his heritage, for this episode of #TnlTasteOfTheWorld, Chef Musoni teaches how to make a classic risotto.
