While the chef has been busy in the restaurant, the steward has been demonstrating, photographing and writing all about food. Yes we are the quintessential culinary couple and we have an awesome announcement to make. It’s been in the pipelines for a while and we kept our mouths shut for as long as we could. But now… we have to let it out!
As of Friday April 1, Kari will be writing a weekly food column in Khaleej Times, the oldest English language newspaper in the United Arab Emirates with a heavy circulation in the Gulf. That’s right!!!! The column will appear in the wknd magazine of every friday issue of the Khaleej Times. The name of the column is “When Hunger Strikes.”
We are nervous and happy and fidgety and humbled all at the same time in anticipation of her first Middle Eastern print story. We look forward to your continued support and would love for you to tell us what you think.
When we make an announcement like this, it is not about us gloating but about us being genuinely happy and thankful not only for whatever success we are sharing, but the journey it came with. Life doesn’t always turn out exactly the way you planned it but if you are open, it could be even better. Our story is one of hard work, really long hours, resilience, faith and a few good people in our corner channelling love and prayers to see us through. This is a celebration of tenacity, of commitment and the fact that we step out in faith and are justified by the same.
We thank you sincerely for every visit, thought and good wish.
