    FREE COPY THE CHEF’S MAGIC DOHA’S TOP CHEFS SHARE THEIR FAVOURITE CHRISTMAS RECIPES SPOTLIGHT December 2014 A HELPING HAND TO NEW EXPATS IN QATAR EATING YOUR WAY TO GLOWING SKIN RAISING NUTRITION-- SMART KIDS THE CITY OF PISA Malabar Gold MGDF AD Socity Magazine FP.ai 1 11/26/14 1:11 PM C M Y CM MY CY CMY K RAISING NUTRITION- SMART KIDS. P.46 Editor’s Note The explosive growth of Qatar’s expatriate population and high rate of urbanisation have adversely affected the consumption of many traditional foods in recent decades. The number of foreigners working in the country has influenced modern Qatari eating habits, incorporating many foods from around the world. As a result, the streets of Doha are lined with many high-end restaurants that serve ethnic foods, including Chinese, Indian, Filipino, Italian, and American. These foods are growing in popularity partially due to the fact that people from the above mentioned countries live and work in Qatar and also because locals relish consuming these foreign delicacies occasionally. On the flip side, as varied lifestyle and cuisine thrive, people’s tastes undergo drastic changes with traditional foods receiving scant attention in nutrition programmes. This is mainly due to lack of information about the nutritional value of traditional foods. Many people tend to be almost oblivious about the worth of traditional foods which are, as our ancestors knew, extremely nourishing, unprocessed, naturally raised, largely raw and distinctly unrefined. Traditional foods constitute an essential aspect of people’s cultural heritage and historical background so it’s important for people to know how to preserve traditional food in their areas and improve them for more sustainable food security.
