Mohammad Zeeshan, Executive Chef at Trèsind Dubai, has been named Pro Chef of the Year at the highly anticipated Good Food Middle East Awards 2024
The Pro Chef of the Year 2024 title was decided in a high-stakes mystery box cook-off, sponsored by Spinneys, at the International Centre for Culinary Arts (ICCA) Dubai. The six finalists, representing some of the region’s top kitchens, had just three hours to create a three-course menu from a selection of unknown ingredients, testing their creativity, technique, and ability to think on their feet.
The finalists included Alejandro Maestro (TATEL Dubai), Lorenzo Buccarini (Zenon), Mario Martínez (Leña Dubai), Guoyu Chen (Demon Duck by Alvin Leung), Sufyan Alkebata (Ninive Beach), and Mohammad Zeeshan (Trèsind Dubai). Each chef brought their A-game, but Zeeshan’s innovative approach and expert execution stood out, earning him the top spot.
