Chef Interview #2: Chef Hasan – Specialist in South Asian Cuisine
Q: Chef Hasan, what are the core principles of Halal food in your kitchen?
Chef Hasan:
In my kitchen, the core principles of Halal food revolve around ensuring everything we serve is not only ethically sourced but also crafted with the highest quality standards. This means selecting meats from Halal-certified suppliers, ensuring our food doesn’t contain any non-Halal ingredients like alcohol or pork, and respecting the Halal slaughtering methods. But beyond that, it’s also about creating meals that reflect the cultural heritage of Halal cuisine. Biryani, kebabs, and curries hold deep cultural significance in our community, and I strive to preserve that while making the dishes exciting and modern for today’s food enthusiasts.
Conclusion:
The world of Halal food is rich, diverse, and continuously evolving. Through interviews with chefs and influencers, we gain a unique insight into how Halal food is not only a cultural and religious practice but also an exciting and inclusive movement that’s shaping the future of global cuisine. Whether it’s through traditional dishes, Halal fusion, or social media, Halal food is making its mark on the mainstream culinary scene, connecting cultures and communities through the universal language of food.
