Food Tastes Better with Family - CUD’s First Cook-off Challenge!

October 15, 2017 – Dubai, United Arab Emirates: Culinary Boutique Restaurant owned by our own CUD Alumni hosted a cooking competition on campus to advocate healthy eating as part of a long list of activities the University has undertaken during its Wellness Month campaign. Six teams per round competed to create nutritious, low-cost meals to enjoy.

Judges chose one team from each round for a total of four rounds to compete in the final round. All participants were given the same ingredients and were asked to create their own dish with presentation and taste being the winning criteria.

As the 12 participants got down to business, the scent of delicious cooking took over the entirety of Hall-C.

The finalists were brought together to watch Chef Julius Mutaba create an elevated dish that the participants were given the opportunity to re-create. The winners were given 2 tickets to The Color Run UAE, and a free breakfast cooking class.

Congratulations to the winners, Basil Ahmed & Zemri Samy who won by showcasing their cooking talent as a pair.
