The recent reports that Dubai banned the use of alcohol in cooking have been retracted with authorities claiming the notice was misinterpreted by restaurant owners.
In March 2010, Dubai reportedly banned Restaurants from cooking with alcohol and so an end to traditional European deserts, western & Japanese cooking techniques. Restaurants in violation of the total ban, will be fined up to Dh 20,000 in reflection of the muslim country that they operate in. However, since the international news reported on this disappointing news for restaurants, CNN reports that the authorities have retracted their intention to remove alcohol from menus. The new guidelines are back on the discussion agenda and we will report the findings here shortly.
