Recipes for Success: Chef Surath Perera on flavor, discipline and his signature steak
DUBAI: Surath Perera discovered his talent for cooking while working in restaurants during his time studying for a business degree in Singapore. He eventually left the corporate path behind to pursue a career in food.
“My earliest memory of food is cooking with my family. I remember being around the kitchen, watching the preparation, smelling all the spices and ingredients, and seeing how a simple meal could bring everyone together. I think that connection between food, family and memories is what first made me appreciate cooking,” Perera tells Arab News.
“I always enjoyed cooking, but what really attracted me to becoming a professional chef was the creativity and the challenge. I like taking good ingredients and turning them into something that gives people a memorable experience,” he added.
Perera leads menu development across the brand, introducing seasonal dishes while mentoring kitchen teams across multiple outlets. (Supplied)
