Many amazing things have occurred in the past six months since the launch of ARABIAN DREAMS the book.
I had given up on the idea of a return to writing cookbooks. But at 40 it became a reality and a very great source of pride when a little concept and discussion with my Executive Chef gave rise to the book that has since gone on to become The BEST ARABIC TITLE IN THE WORLD..
One other thing I had given up on at 42 was a return to Television and publicity in general. ARABIAN DREAMS has, however brought me out of hiding for a further 15 minutes of fame, or infamy.

The above link should take you to DUBAI ONE television episode 102. If it does, be patient and let it download and watch. My stint on the programme is between 15:56 to 24:56!!!! FYI.. If it does not automatically download then please cut and past into your address URL and click on it there.The show is great and the hosts Tom and Saba Wahid are absolutely amazing people. We will hopefully meet one day again soon. For all you others, see for yourself, and be kind on your words...please !!
PR and television became necessary for one reason only, ARABIAN DREAMS has made an impact, book sales are higher than we had imagined and the positive feedback by those already cooking from the book has been nothing but positive.
A return to Dubai is imminent, if not know, then definately as we spiral toward completion of the next book. (photography is finished by the way!!!)
Adeiu !! Bon Voyage and of course Bon Appetite !! x

ReplyDeleteI thought the bit on smoking would never end.
Its heartening to know that Arabian Dreams is so popular.
Great work!! I loved the answer you gave about why you are and want to be a pastry chef and nothing else.
