A rainy day in Dubai and a whirlwind in my little kitchen...

I love Dubai when it rains; it just makes the city more
real than the constant sunshine. Plus, it's the perfect day to stay in your
pjs and spend quality lazing around time with loved ones :)
And I must admit I have some catching up to do, especially with Phares. I
have not spent enough time with my little munchkin to say the least. Even though
I'm home constantly these days because I'm writing my cookbook, I don't do much
with Phares as I'm either cooking up a storm in the kitchen, shooting or
running to the markets rushing to get missing ingredients. And btw, I'm sure
the staffs at the supermarkets think I'm a complete nutcase! I’m the first one
there when they open at 8am and then back again just before they close at
night.
It has been an incredibly exciting journey to be
shooting this book, I can hardly sleep I’m so excited... It also has been an
incredibly tiring and isolating experience as I'm literally running around,
getting little sleep, and cut off from my friends and the world
around me. Add to that the fact that the publisher had to push up the
deadline one month earlier than expected and you have a beautiful and delicious
whirlwind of things happening in D's Kitchen :)
So no recipe today, but I will leave you with a sneak peak of this
beautiful Beef Tenderloin taken by the loveliest Sukaina. We shot this yesterday, and that will be lunch today for the family. I love my tenderloin
medium rare just like the French men, so this is my idea of a little bite of
heaven!
Off to spend some time with my two men, little Ph
and big Ph before they don't recognize me anymore...
Much love,
D xx
