Grand Millennium Dubai Welcomes New Executive Chef

dubai (I-Newswire) January 19, 2012 - Italian born Corrado Pani has become Executive Chef at the Grand Millennium Dubai, joining the hotel from the Ritz Carlton Dubai.

Originally from Sardinia, Corrado graduated with a culinary diploma from the Hotel Management School in Alghero in Italy, following which he began his career as a commis chef at the Sheraton Porto Cervo.

Taking to the waters, he spent several years at sea aboard cruise lines, working for Celebrity, Royal Princess and Costa in areas as diverse as South America, Scandinavia, the Caribbean, North America and the Mediterranean.

On land, he gained further experience at the Forte Village Resort and the Grosvenor House in London, later opening his own Deco restaurant in Sardinia prior to moving to the Middle East to take up the post of head chef at the Beach Rotana Hotel & Towers in Abu Dhabi in 2002.

His move to Dubai came with the opportunity to become executive head chef at Le Meridien Mina Seyahi, where he supervised the opening of Bussola, later relaunching the restaurant when it came under the auspices of the new Westin hotel.

A multi-linguist with knowledge of four languages, Corrado is a keen athlete in his spare time and claims a passion both for food and for interior design, marrying Italian flair with international influences.

According to Hermann Feigl, Director of Food & Beverage at the Grand Millennium Dubai, the arrival of Corrado will launch a new chapter in the cuisine available at the Sheikh Zayed Road property.

“Having won many awards for his work and with a fine appreciation of the requirement for the very best ingredients, we can expect cookery at the highest levels, and a few surprises,” he said.

“With signature dishes in the past including octopus panzanella, burrata and watermelon and miso codfish martini, Corrado will be ringing the changes on the menu at the Grand Millennium Dubai.”
