Moroccan home cook crowned ‘Top Chef Middle East’
Issam Jaafari
Jeddah - Arab Today
It was Moroccan chef Issam Jaafari who had the perfect recipe of success as he was crowned the winner of Top Chef in the first Arabic edition of the cooking show.
In the ‘Top Chef Middle East’ finale, the winner competed against two talented Syrian and Egyptian chefs for the title. Issam made the cut, beating 15 contestants from the MENA region in the gruelling 13-week long competition.
Chef Issam left the Top Chef kitchen with a $100,000 check, a Cadillac XT5 car, a full spread in Hospitality News magazine, as well as the opportunity to participate in a renowned hospitality industry fair, reported Al-Bawaba.
Issam’s winning dishes were judged by three of the most famous culinary experts in the Arab world: Egyptian-Chinese chef Bobby Chinn, Saudi chef Mona Mosli and Lebanese chef Maroun Chedid.
The show, originally an American series that first aired on Bravo TV in 2006, ended on last Thursday. It first aired in its Arabic version in 2012 on ABC, before moving on to Rotana TV and then this year to MBC.

Paris - Emiratesvoice
Two months after legendary designer Azzedine Alaia's sudden death plunged the fashion world into mourning, an exhibition in homage to the "King of Cling" opens Monday in his studios in Paris.

Now some of his most iconic dresses are going on display in the glass-roofed gallery next to his studio and home in the Marais district where he used to show his creations.
