One Chef/One Producer: Debi Prasad Rath and Mohamed Al Shamsi

Take a look at the complicity between a producer and a chef of the first-ever MICHELIN-starred Emirati restaurant the heart of Abu Dhabi.

Located in Abu Dhabi's Qasr al Hosn and meaning "legacy" in Arabic, Erth became the first-ever Emirati restaurant to receive a MICHELIN star. Chef Debi Prasad Rath innovately introduces diners to local dishes through modern interpretation.

The chef uses locally-sourced ingredients to embody the beloved flavours of Emirati cuisine, particularly with the date. This ingredient, which holds significance in the country's gastronomic culture, is creatively incorporated across some of Erth's savoury and sweet dishes, from the lamb meatballs with saloona gravy to their date sphere bateetha.

In this video, we get a glimpse into the relationship between the chef and producer, Mohamed Al Shamsi of Mazaraa Farms, a lush oasis boasting a wide selection of fruits, vegetables, herbs and more in the midst of Abu Dhabi's desert landscape.
