Helen - Owner, Re’em Hotel

What I did - Bringing life to an idea

Helen from Helen and Joey Estate entrusted me with the exciting task of bringing their Re’em Hotel concept to life. Their vision was clear: a menu that pays homage to their culinary heritage while offering a unique and approachable dining experience for their patrons. To achieve this, I crafted a range of dish ideas and organized them into a well-rounded menu. Helen and I worked closely together, conducting tastings until each dish met her approval. I also played a key role in outfitting the kitchen with the necessary equipment to meet the hotel's requirements and actively contributed to the recruitment and training of the kitchen team.
