SHOWING OFF NZ LAMB IN QATAR!

It seems the richest country in the world per capita enjoy eating lamb, and most of it is sourced from Ozzie!  It was therefore a fantastic proud moment for me and an opportunity to showcase some of our finest New Zealand lamb, when I was invited to cook for approximately 30 of the top chefs in Doha, Qatar. 
With not so much as a blade of grass in sight, I was very pleased to hear the "oohs and ahhhs" as the chefs tasted grass fed and various herb finished lamb samples I served up. 
From what little I saw of Doha (stunning architecture) and the conversations I had with the chefs, it is certainly an interesting and fascinating country with a diverse culture. 
Food wise, the highlight was without doubt a Persian dinner experience of 13 antipasto style dishes which was so amazingly pure in taste and perfectly executed......we couldn’t even consider main courses..   
​Qatar certainly was not a country I had ever thought of going to - but I look forward to exploring (if only for the cuisine!!) again.
