Ingie was born in the south of France, having lived for some years in Paris before moving to Dubai.

Music is what summarises her life! According to Ingie, her father had passed on this passion to her, being a musician himself!

Sharing and enjoying the moment with people is what’s most important for Ingie!

She studied at the L’Académie Internationale de Musique in France, and did several TV shows too. Ingie has gone on several ventures in France when she was younger before being signed to Universal Music France three years ago.

Ingie arrived in Dubai a year ago to take on new challenges.

Djoe is from France, and music and singing is his passion!

Djoe studied music in a music conservatory in France for 4 years. Having performed for a few years and venturing into performing with bands and recording at studios, Djoe found this becoming his work.

In 2017, Djoe had an appearance at his first TV singing show in France. It was a revelation. After that, he had many opportunities to sing with bands in piano bars, for private events, and festive restaurants in France, and now in Dubai.

Throughout, Djoe has slowly discovered himself through music, sharing his emotions from his heart through music. For Djoe, that is most important—feeling and sharing his best.

It’s any chef’s secret ingredient. Made in olive oil, unlike other chilli oils known. By welcoming Bhalla Spices chilli oil into your home, you are adding a tasty kitchen staple that will enhance every meal.

Zeit Bladi

Zeit Bladi sources Extra Virgin Palestinian Olive Oil annually as a grassroots initiative to support local farmers.

Made from carefully handpicked olives that are moved to pressing within 24 to 72 hours. With no exposure to heat or chemicals, the results are a high-quality, organic, cold-pressed rich olive oil. Full of antioxidants, vitamins, and nutrients.

The 2023 October harvest is fresh and light and can be enjoyed by all. And although this year’s supply is low due to the terrible conditions of life in the West Bank, our farmers were able to bring the true taste of resilience to the table.

Our journey begins with Marcia and Sarah, a mother-daughter duo from Brazil. Both sharing a deep love for their native cuisine, they dreamt of bringing the warmth and authenticity of Brazilian flavours to Dubai. They decided to embark on a venture that would celebrate their heritage.

The spark that ignited M.S. Cafe came from the love that their friends in Dubai developed for the iconic Lesuk Cake (Bolo de Rolo). This Brazilian roll cake, with its delicate layers and flavours, became a sensation among their friends. The positive feedback and the desire to share more of Brazil’s culinary treasures led Marcia and Sarah to envision something beyond just sharing Lesuk Cake.

M.S. Cafe is not just a café—it’s a celebration of Brazilian culture and a testament to the love Marcia and Sarah have for their roots. Every dish on the menu is crafted with care, using authentic recipes and high-quality ingredients. From the chocolate truffles of Brigadeiros to the gooey goodness of Palha Italiana and the freshly baked Brazilian cheese breads, each bite tells a story of Brazil’s culinary heritage.

Camp’s Kitchen is a family-run, Dubai-based producer of handmade, all-natural, fermented hot sauces. With a line of 6 fermented sauces, plus limited edition seasonal sauces, we have something for every palate and spice tolerance. Find us in the Artisan Market for a hot sauce tasting and spice up your life!

Our love of sauce making began during the pandemic when founder and Chief Flavour Officer, Michael Camp, began to experiment with various fermented foods over the lockdown periods. What started off as a hobby grew organically until it burst out of the home kitchen and into the Dubai market. Michael, along with his wife and Chief Cheerleader, Viktoria, have a mission to bring flavour and complexity (and yes, a bit of heat!) to any and everyone’s taste buds, and so Camp’s Kitchen offers a range of spice levels and multiple flavours to accommodate all palates.

Let’s be honest—we all love a good deal. We all strive to find ways to save ourselves money on every day activities—or even those once a month treats! That’s why The Discounter set out on a mission to supply you with discounts at all the best spots and hidden gems across the city, so that you—or your friends and family—can enjoy them!

We realised that to truly provide the ULTIMATE discounting experience, we needed to look into what you Discounters really want and need.

None of the discount apps currently available on the market are perfect. Some have tricky fine print that prevent you from cashing in right away; some are confusing and awkward to navigate. And then others ask for those pesky upfront fees that make you question whether you are even saving at all!

We’ve worked tirelessly with our vendors to bring you diverse options, the biggest discounts and deals, PLUS a smooth and easy method to redeem. Putting you, the consumer, at the forefront when developing our app has always been our key focus and goal.

Here at The Discounter, we intend on becoming your go-to app for all your shopping needs, your dinner date discounts, your weekends full of family fun, and most importantly, the reason you look at your remaining balance and smile!

The future is bright; the future is The Discounter.

Preet and Diva’s love story started with food, but it was their passion for creating something special that brought them together in business. Their expertise in their respective fields made them a dynamic duo that was bound for success. With Preet’s background in hospitality and experience in food and fintech startups, he knew how to make a product stand out and how to increase its reach. Meanwhile, Diva’s 10 years of hands-on baking experience and culinary genius made her the perfect partner to create innovative and delicious confections.

Their brand, Varak, started out as a small operation run from home in February 2020. But with the couple’s dedication and commitment, the brand grew organically through word of mouth. They provided a fresh taste of clean confectionery to the city and offered a range of desserts beyond just cake that were perfect for any celebration or appreciation.

As their business grew, so did their team. They have now grown into a team of 20 amazing people, and their products are available across the UAE with a 14-hour prior notice. Every product is made to order, ensuring that it is of the highest quality and made with care.

Their hard work paid off when they opened their first boutique in November 2021. This was a major milestone for the couple-owned brand, and it was a testament to their determination and commitment to creating something special together. Preet and Diva’s story is an inspiration for anyone looking to start a business with their significant other. With the right combination of skills, passion, and dedication, anything is possible.

Founded by Riwa at the age of 24, Majama is a Dubai-based, all-natural dessert brand. Always in search of the next tasty treat, Riwa was surprised by how hard it was to find a delicious dessert made from pure, clean ingredients.

It all started when she was studying in London and realised how consuming processed foods, gluten, and dairy were harming her health. When she cut those ingredients out of her diet, her dessert cravings soared.

So she began experimenting, creating recipe after recipe in her kitchen. She shared her creations with family and friends, and much to their surprise, they loved it! They were convinced that natural foods could taste just as good, if not better, and Majama was born.

It was that element of surprise that Majama aims to recreate time and time again. Once you try it, you’ll never look back.

Burnt-Carbon is a small-batch artisan manufacturer of kamado barbecues based in the United Arab Emirates. We design and produce stunning, precision-made kamados for home or commercial use using the finest materials to the highest standards. We also offer customised kamados, uniquely designed by local artists and handcrafted to be the showpiece to any outdoor kitchen.

Kamado History

Originally invented by the Chinese over 3,000 years ago during the Qin Dynasty and refined by the Japanese, the earliest kamados were clay devices used to cook rice. This was improved upon over thousands of years to become the modern-day Burnt-Carbon kamado that uses state of the art, high-temperature ceramics to offer better durability, thermal shock resistance, and insulation.

Our kamados provide an incredibly versatile barbecue that can slowly cook tough but tasty meats to perfection over hours, or reach the screamingly high temperatures for the best wood-fired pizzas. Or if you prefer, just open up the lid and use it to sear steaks like a normal barbecue. Burnt-Carbon kamados offer a cooking experience that no other barbecue can provide.

How does it work? Kamados are exceptionally efficient in how they cook food—it does this by fully enclosing the barbecue in ceramic and restricting the airflow to control the internal temperature. This provides the perfect moisture and smoke-rich environment with a stable temperature for cooking unbelievably tasty food—no wonder they are celebrated by pit-masters everywhere.

At Burnt-Carbon, our kamados go through a 2-phase firing process that subjects the ceramics to 1200°C for 18 hours each time that makes the ceramics incredibly tough— so tough that you can get the kamado hot enough to forge iron and still be able to throw buckets of cold water over it without it affecting the ceramics.

We are so proud of our kamados that we offer a limited lifetime warranty so that you can be sure that you are getting the very best of the best.

Burnt-Carbon kamados are the ultimate barbecue.

Raised between Lebanon and the UK, Lama has been passionate about cooking since the age of 4. By shadowing her mother from a young age, she acquired knowledge of all of the classic Arabic dishes. Her speciality is family food—large, beautiful, mouthwatering dishes with a strong Mediterranean influence to be shared amongst friends and family.

That was shortly followed by cooking classes for mums and children, schools, couples, corporations, and even husbands who also wanted to learn how to create delicious, all-natural food for their families.

There’s nothing in her lineage to explain why Ritu Dalmia is the brilliant chef and restaurateur that she is. And yet, there she stands, in her 40s, as one of India’s most celebrated chefs, co-owner of six restaurants in India; three in Milan, Italy; one in Dubai, UAE; and a catering vertical that serves worldwide destinations. The story might well have gone some other way. Born in then-Calcutta to a business family, Ritu joined the family stone business when she was just 16. Her work kept taking her to Italy, where she developed a liking for the local cuisine and learnt how to cook it proficiently.

Originally from a beautiful, rural village near Cáceres, Extremadura, José has lived in London for almost 25 years, and is often described as The Godfather of Spanish cuisine in the UK.

In his early career, he trained in the top restaurants in Spain, before becoming head chef at a Michelin star restaurant.

José Pizarro began his career at Gaudi, moving to Eyre Brothers in Shoreditch before becoming the Executive Chef at Brindisa. In 2011, he opened his first restaurant José on Bermondsey Street, offering simple and traditional tapas. His restaurants now include José Pizarro at the Royal Academy, José Pizarro Broadgate, Pizarro, and José Pizarro The Swan Inn, while he has also published a line of regional Spanish cookbooks and is a regular face on our TV screens. Earlier this year, José opened his first restaurant outside the UK: José by Pizarro, at the Conrad Hilton in Abu Dhabi.

José believes in fresh, seasonal, quality ingredients and keeping dishes simple. He promotes the idea that great tapas is for all, and that home cooks shouldn’t be afraid of cooking several smaller dishes—it’s all in the prep & keeping it simple. The mantra of quality and simplicity along with José’s charm, enthusiasm, and passion for Spanish food has led to José appearing on many of our favourite foodie TV programmes. A regular guest chef on BBC One’s Saturday Kitchen, ITVs This Morning, Channel 4’s Sunday Brunch, Weekend Kitchen with Waitrose, Rick Stein’s Christmas, Food Network’s The Big Eat, and the popular ITV show, James Martin’s Saturday Morning.

José’s talents don’t end there—his five books launched to great critical acclaim: Seasonal Spanish Food (Kyle Books, 2009), Spanish Flavours (Kyle Books, 2012), Basque (Hardie Grant, 2016), Catalonia (Hardie Grant, 2017) and Andalusia (Hardie Grant, 2019 – reprint 2023).

His sixth and latest cookbook—”The Spanish Home Kitchen”—launched in 2022. It is a collection of over 80 best-loved recipes from the heart of chef José Pizarro’s Spanish family home.
