Pots, Pans and Boards by Tom Aikens opens in Dubai in September

Tom Aikens, the youngest chef in Britain to achieve two Michelin stars, will open his unique restaurant concept Pots, Pans and Boards at Dubai’s The Beach in September.

Aikens’s debut UAE eatery will offer English, Mediterranean and French dishes – from black squid tempura and lamb meatballs with harissa to treacle-marinated salmon and red fruit and apple crumble – all cooked and presented in a pot or pan, or on a board.

“We absolutely cannot wait to bring Pots, Pans and Boards to the people of Dubai and are keen to offer up something completely different to what currently exists on the Dubai food scene,” says Aikens, 44.

The celebrity chef’s eponymous restaurant was launched in 2003, got its first Michelin star in 2004, and a rising second star in 2008. He launched his brasserie-style farm-to-table concept, Tom’s Kitchen, in 2006 in Chelsea, which was rolled out in Somerset House, Canary Wharf, St Katherine’s dock and Istanbul.

Generational responses to the pandemic

Devesh Mamtani from Century Financial believes the cash-hoarding tendency of each generation is influenced by what stage of the employment cycle they are in. He offers the following insights:

Baby boomers (those born before 1964): Owing to market uncertainty and the need to survive amid competition, many in this generation are looking for options to hoard more cash and increase their overall savings/investments towards risk-free assets.

Generation X (born between 1965 and 1980): Gen X is currently in its prime working years. With their personal and family finances taking a hit, Generation X is looking at multiple options, including taking out short-term loan facilities with competitive interest rates instead of dipping into their savings account.

Millennials (born between 1981 and 1996): This market situation is giving them a valuable lesson about investing early. Many millennials who had previously not saved or invested are looking to start doing so now.
