Youngest Emirati chef to showcase talent in the Maldives for Eid Al Adha


Aysha Al Obeidli, 13, who has been dubbed as UAE’s youngest Emirati chef, will be welcomed by JW Marriott Maldives Resort & Spa for a unique collaboration with the resort’s Maldivian chef, Aminath Abdul Rasheed. They will present a culinary fare with an ensemble of Arabian and Maldivian flavours on July 1, 2022.

Both chefs will collaborate to craft an Arabian-Maldivian fusion menu that will be available for guests to savour at Aailaa, the resort’s vibrant international cuisine all-day dining venue, between July 2 and July 12, in celebration of Eid Al Adha.

“We are extremely excited to team up with Chef Aysha to present a unique menu in conjunction to the Eid Al Adha celebration on the island, and to combine her expertise with our skilled Maldivian Chef for a local touch,” said Bir Yadav, Executive Chef. “It is a great way to showcase both cultures through a culinary journey to our guests from the region and beyond.”

Younger guests will also have the opportunity to learn from Chef Aysha first-hand during a cooking class with the talented young chef. Children staying at the property on July 1 can register for the one-time class during which Chef Aysha will prepare one of her favourite recipes for participants to recreate.
