For Emirati chef Al Hassan Al Falasi, dessert isn't just the sweet end to a meal, or something to nibble on with coffee, it's a form of storytelling shaped by memory, emotion and the flavours he grew up with.

Dessert, for him, is where creativity comes alive in unexpected ways. “They let you push boundaries without rules — it’s pure creativity,” he tells GN Focus.

Innerchild, his baking and dessert concept in Dubai's Al Khawaneej area, was born from that same idea.
