RIYADH: As Saudi cuisine develops popularity both at home and abroad, chefs are increasingly experimenting with combining native dishes and ingredients with global techniques. The trend was a hot topic at La Liste’s roundtable and awards presentation during the Saudi Feast Food Festival in Riyadh.
While fusion food has been a popular trend in the Kingdom for a few years, from Japan to Peru to South Africa, the spotlight is now on Saudi cuisine and how chefs throughout the world have put their own spin on these native and treasured delicacies.
Watching Saudi Arabia become a “trendy” issue, he claimed, inspired him to try local cuisine. “If you are a chef, you have to be curious,” he told me.
So I wanted to explore the country and its cuisine. I wanted to try new goods, cooking methods, and flavors. “And I did,” Rouquet stated.
His latest book, “1 date, 1 coffee,” contains 60 sweet and savory date-based dishes inspired from “Mesopotamia to the Mediterranean.” He remarked that encountering fresh Saudi dates transformed his perspective on the fruit. “(Dates) are awful in France, truly horrible the taste here is so beautiful,” he told me.
