No, its not another man made island that is home to the likes of David Beckham.  It’s the name of one of the top restaurants in Dubai and the focus of one of the regions hottest cooking shows called Ma Osama Atyab.  The team behind Spice Island (of Renaissance Dubai Hotel fame) was recently invited to appear on the cooking show due to the popularity of the restaurant.  Spice Island is a new buffet concept in Dubai that features six international cooking stations and for the show the culinary team demonstrated one dish from each station ranging from sushi to quesadilla to pesto, arrabiata, and cream-based pasta — not your typical middle-eastern fare.
