Winter Ramadan changes everything.

The sun disappears early. The air bites. Your guests arrive at iftar hungry from fasting and cold to the bone. They need warmth and nourishment working together.

This season gives chefs a special opportunity. You get to create iftar experiences that truly restore people. Dates and water break the fast, then your food takes over. What you serve next can transform how people feel.

The end of the year should bring you celebrations, closures, and most importantly, clarity. It's the moment when food service professionals across the region pause to reflect: What worked? What didn't? And more importantly, what's possible in the year ahead?

December is here, and you know what that means! Packed dining rooms, endless holiday bookings, and guests expecting something special. It's the most wonderful  time of the year, but it can also mean its the most seriously pressuring time in the kitchen.

Baklava Day, the day we celebrate one of the world's most beloved desserts. And this year, we're helping you make it unforgettable. Baklava has graced tables from Istanbul to Athens for centuries. Those delicate layers, the perfect balance of nuts and sweetness, it's a masterpiece of pastry engineering that's stood the test of time. Every family, every region has their cherished recipe. And that's the beauty of it.

It's not just knife skills or secret spice blends that separate the chefs who just survive service from those who absolutely crush it. It's knowing the real story behind every single ingredient in your arsenal.

The Middle East is a melting pot of flavors, where ancient spice routes meet modern culinary innovation. If you haven’t indulged in our latest Menu of Masters series yet, pick a spoon, you’re in for a flavorful ride!

We’re constantly sharing strategies for celebrating your diners. When was the last time you celebrated the hands behind the plates? This month, let’s shift focus from delighting diners to celebrating the culinary talent that makes it all possible. The strategies you’re about to see deliver remarkable retention results. How? By recognizing what truly motivates culinary professionals. 

In today's fast-paced professional kitchen, agility and unwavering quality are paramount. Chefs need ingredients that not only deliver exceptional flavor but also streamline operations and inspire culinary innovation. At Nestlé Professional, we understand this demand.

Here's what your competitors don't understand: Middle Eastern diners crave authenticity year-round, not just during celebrations. As fall arrives and soup orders surge, it's the perfect time to remember that traditional flavors know no bounds. MAGGI® Professional Khaleeji Seasoning brings the same depth to seasonal soups as it does to celebratory mandi and kabsa.

National celebrations are approaching across the Gulf, and with them, the surge in demand for authentic khaleeji cuisine. Whether it's Saudi's National Day or any festive occasion throughout MENA, MAGGI® Professional Khaleeji Seasoning ensures your menu delivers the time-honored flavors that define Gulf hospitality.

If we were to pick one month everyone can universally agree on, it's July, the month when summer doesn't just arrive, it absolutely reigns supreme. The sun hits differently and everything feels wonderfully, unapologetically indulgent. 

Every season brings its own set of culinary opportunities, but summer, particularly July, stands alone. It's a time when the diner’s 'treat yourself' mentality reaches its peak.  With World Chocolate Day and World Ice Cream Day both falling within July, the consumer appetite for extraordinary desserts is amplified.
