Hi, I’m Amal — your Taste Magician.

“My passion for food is wrapped around my memories of growing up, and the influences of diverse flavours and tastes are tied to the different milestones in my life. My experiences across the globe have shaped my style and the way I view food — and my love for culture, and the people I’ve met along the way, always define the outcome.”

As culinary director of Gourmet Gurus, Amal brings Michelin-starred discipline to every brand in the House: from wedding menus and match-day boxes to new concepts developed for consultancy clients.
