Farm to table dining

Afternoons with Helen Farmer

Friday, 8 August 2025 - 1 hour 32 minutes

Sustainability and locality has amplified hugely here in Dubai in recent years but despite that, true farm to table dining remains very rare here in the UAE. We speak to one restaurant that does chef-farmer collaborations and seasonally-curated menus.

We also look at 21Grams team’s newest opening in Alserkal focusing on pies.

Food writer extraordinaire Courtney Brandt fills us with the weird and wonderful headlines from the world of food.

William Mullally gives us updates on the biggest events to look forward to in the UAE and of course, about his recent interview with the one and only Lindsay Lohan.

And we meet the drums teacher taking Dubai's kids viral.
