In this issue, we celebrate the innovators, visionary chefs, and rising stars who are redefining what it means to cook, create, and lead in this dynamic region. We spotlight the often unseen innovations that power the industry, such as Tetra Pak’s vital work in advancing food security. A reminder that transformation frequently takes place behind the scenes, within the systems and structures that support restaurants and hospitality organisations.
Our journey leads us to Qatar, where a quiet revolution in haute pâtisserie is taking shape. Nicolas Rouzaud explores this movement in depth. We also sit down with Panchali Mahendra, CEO of Atelier House Hospitality, whose thoughtful and intentional approach to building brands offers fresh inspiration for the future of hospitality.
