Delight the family with an immersive 3D dining experience at Le Petit Chef
Le Petit Chef at La Coco, Andaz Dubai The Palm, brings in a tiny chef to serve your dinner. Yes, really.
Tucked inside a breezy beachside venue, complete with cosy interiors and sweeping views of the Arabian Gulf, this 90-minute experience uses clever 3D projection mapping to introduce you to the world's smallest chef.
He's animated, a bit cheeky and known to cook right on your plate, though not before taking you through a whirlwind of sound and visual treats.
The result is something between a theatre show and a five-course dinner, and while you won't find any magic tricks, there's a fair bit of table-side wizardry going on.
The menu, curated by head chef Mauricio Zambrano, gives you a choice between three routes: the indulgent Le Grand, the crowd-pleasing Classic, or the flavour-packed Vegetarian.
You could be enjoying pan-seared scallops, slow-cooked beef short ribs and a velvety chocolate crémeux.
There's also a kids' menu if you're bringing along little foodies, and yes, this will definitely be a core memory kind of moment for them.
Shows run every Wednesday to Sunday, with two evening seatings at 6pm and 8.30pm on Wednesdays, and three shows daily – 2pm, 6pm and 8.30pm – from Friday to Sunday.
Prices start at Dhs495 per person.
This is a dining experience that you're going to remember long after your last bite, so book your dinner now.
Book now: 04 581 1281, lepetitchef.com
From Dhs495. Wed 6pm and 8.30pm, Fri-Sun 2pm, 6pm and 8.30pm. Andaz Dubai The Palm, lepetitchef.com (04 581 1281).

My unexpected Pride icon: The Green Roasting Tin, a cookbook no lesbian vegetarian can be without
Walk into a queer woman's kitchen and the chances are that the lime-green spine of Rukmini Iyer's The Green Roasting Tin will be poking out from a surface or a shelf – if it is not already on the counter and splattered with food. You are likely to find it in the homes of allies, too – this is the holy grail of what-to-feed-my-queer–vegetarian-offspring cookbooks. Not only does The Green Roasting Tin play into stereotypes about gay and bisexual women – all vegetarian recipes, half vegan and supremely practical (the USP of The Roasting Tin series is that all the recipes are oven-cooked in one dish) – but it is also full of indulgence. The tarts, gratins, salads and bakes are dotted with pomegranate seeds or fresh herbs and drizzled with truffle oil or honey. One recipe even has an entire camembert plonked in a tray of potatoes. And that's what makes it the perfect unofficial lesbian text: its unapologetic goal is pleasure. 'This book is for anyone who wants to eat easy veg-based meals that fit around their busy lives,' reads The Green Roasting Tin's blurb. The joy of this book is that its simplest offerings, such as the all-in-one roasted tomato and bay orzo bake or the crispy kale and bulgur wheat salad, take half an hour, most of which is baking time, when you can be doing something else. And the booked and busy lesbians have got to eat! The recipes from this book that I have made the most frequently are the two that feature crispy roasted gnocchi (a revelation!), especially the completely vegan combination of gnocchi, mushrooms, butternut squash and a herby, garlicky, nutty dressing. It was the first recipe I cooked from the book, which is also perhaps why I associate this book so strongly with queerness: I made it with my girlfriend, now wife, when I had just moved into a flatshare, for lunch with my housemates and their girlfriends. Some of us were meeting that day for the first time, but by the end of the afternoon we were all slouched around contentedly, picking off the last bits of gnocchi from the trays. Big trays of food almost invite you to spend lots of time enjoying them, going back for a second helping or fishing out the last charred mushroom or cube of halloumi. I suppose you could say that this kind of food is a 'queering' of the meat-and-two-veg sit-down dinners associated with the traditional heterosexual British family unit. Which is maybe a bit of a stretch – and probably not what Iyer set out to do. But she did put together 75 really easy vegetarian recipes that are all completely delicious. And that, among other things, is exactly what a lot of lesbians want.

Pot Noodle launching brand-new flavour in Asda this week after demand from shoppers
POT Noodle is launching a brand new flavour in Asda stores nationwide following demands from shoppers. A Flame Grilled Steak version of the popular instant noodles is set to hit shelves this week, available exclusively in Asda for £1.20 per pot. Pot Noodle says the new flavour, which it describes as a combination of classic noodles and a smokey, grilled steak flavour sauce, has been highly requested by fans. The new flavour, which is also suitable for vegetarians and vegans, has already been spotted in some Asda stores across the UK, and is quickly becoming a must-have for shoppers with many declaring, 'I need it!'. A post in the Facebook group NewfoodsUK first revealed the find, with the caption: 'New Flame Grilled Steak Pot Noodle spotted at Asda.' Responding to the Facebook post, one fan who had tried the new flavour compared it to McCoy's Flame Grilled Steak crisps. Another wrote: 'Brazilian BBQ steak used to be my favourite no longer seen – hopefully this one is banging.' Another offered a tip on how best to enjoy the new flavour, writing: 'Don't add the soy sauce, instead add some squirty mustard in it. Thank me later.' However, it's not a hit with all fans of the snack, with one writing: 'It's getting a bit silly now, these new flavours. "I'm still in the 80s with Beef & Tomato lol.' It's the latest addition to a long list of Pot Noodle flavours including Beef and Tomato, Chicken and Mushroom, Original Curry and Sticky Rib. Madeleine Boulton, Senior Brand Manager at Pot Noodle said: 'Pot Noodle Flame Grilled Steak has long been a top requested flavour from our fans, so we're thrilled to launch the product just in time for summer. Four simple ways to save money at Asda 'Rather than manning a BBQ for hours, in just four minutes you've got yourself a winner - no flames, faff or sunshine required!' The brand said more than one Pot Noodle was sold per second at Asda within the last year. Pot Noodle often experiments with new flavours in response to fan requests, with the brand launching chicken fajita, pulled pork, korma and even Christmas Dinner flavours in recent years. The news comes as Tesco recently added Pot Noodle as a snack to its £3.60 meal deal range, allowing customers to purchase one alongside a sandwich, soup, salad, pasta pot and a drink of choice. OTHER NEW FOOD FLAVOURS It's not just Pot Noodle that's enticing fans with some new flavours. Cadbury recently announced the launch of a White Dipped Twirl - a new take on the Twirl bar coated in white chocolate. The bars hit shelves on June 2 but will only be available for a limited time. McVities this month unveiled a new Jaffa Cake flavour - hot honey - which has fans of the classic biscuits divided. Last week it was revealed that Nutella is launching a brand new peanut flavour, although it's yet to be confirmed if it will be available in the UK. Pringles also recently revealed its new Spicy Pickle crisps - after the flavour saw an unlikely surge in popularity among Gen Z on TikTok. .
