CreativeMornings Dubai with Priyal Mehta and Design

This is the podcast version of our October 2021 breakfast lecture by Priyal Mehta on the theme DESIGN.

Priyal Mehta is the chef and owner of Dulce de Mirchi. With a

background in design and the culinary arts, she curates

multi-sensory dining experiences where the diners can explore

her playful mélange of flavours and dishes inspired by her third

culture existence.

Priyal studied Strategic Design and Management from Parsons

The New School for Design in New York. She later started her

culinary journey with an intensive and enriching Chef’s training

program at the Natural Gourmet Institute for health & culinary

arts in Manhattan. During her time in the U.S.A., she had the

opportunity to receive training from Jean George’s ABC

Restaurants to learn about Japanese Shojin cuisine at Kajitsu.

As a chef, she wants to design food experiences that introduce

people to plant-based food through carefully crafted menus —

her contemporary creations inspired by her childhood in Asia,

memories from her travels and design explorations.
