Culinary Director of Atlantis Dubai, Chef Mathew Goodlet explains that, “Rouxbe transforms all this information about the fundamentals and the core of the culinary world into easily digestible sections. We selected Rouxbe as our culinary partner not only because it brings out exceptional technique from our colleagues, but this is easily one of the best tools to see our team grow and build on their skills as we continue to expand our culinary offering.”

Over 300 learners and 30 administrators at Atlantis Dubai will have access to the program in 2022.
