Hilton's Culinary Adventure with CEO Chris Nassetta
The renowned hotel chain Hilton has announced the launch of an exciting new video series titled "Cooking with Chris." This engaging series features Hilton's President and CEO, Chris Nassetta, who embarks on a culinary adventure across various travel destinations, collaborating with local chefs to prepare traditional dishes. The inaugural episode of the series takes place in Rabat, Morocco, showcasing the rich culinary heritage of this vibrant region.
The first episode was filmed at the Conrad Rabat Arzana, where Chris Nassetta teams up with Executive Sous Chef Adil Limi to create a classic Moroccan dish known as Chicken Tagine. This dish is not only a staple in Moroccan cuisine but also a unique cooking method that has been practiced for over 2,000 years. By utilizing a traditional clay pot, ingredients are slowly cooked, allowing the flavors to develop beautifully through their own juices, resulting in a rich and aromatic meal.
According to Hilton, this video series accompanies Chris Nassetta on a “global culinary journey.” Each episode features him meeting chefs from different hotels within the Hilton portfolio, where they prepare regional specialties together. The series emphasizes the exchange of personal stories, cooking techniques, and culinary traditions, providing viewers with insights into local cuisines and their cultural contexts.
In the premiere episode, Nassetta and Chef Adil Limi prepare a Chicken Tagine with preserved lemons and saffron from Taliouine, showcasing typical ingredients such as olive oil, spices, fresh herbs, and preserved lemons. The preparation involves several steps, including marinating the meat and slow-cooking it for approximately an hour. The dish is then served directly in the traditional cooking vessel, preserving its authenticity.
As Hilton indicates, this featured dish will be available at the La Brise restaurant within the Conrad Rabat Arzana, allowing hotel guests to enjoy the Chicken Tagine as part of their culinary offerings. Chef Adil Limi is known for his focus on local ingredients and traditional cooking methods, which further enhances the dining experience at the hotel.
The "Cooking with Chris" series is expected to include additional episodes set in various locations worldwide. Future installments will see Chris Nassetta visiting more hotels and collaborating with chefs to introduce further regional specialties. While specific filming locations and release dates for upcoming episodes have not been disclosed, the anticipation surrounding this culinary journey continues to grow.
