Crispy Lentil Fritters by Chef Michael Smith July 13, 2015By Chef Michael SmithYou can see a lot from the top of the world’s tallest building, especially the incredible building boom that’s defined Dubai in recent years. Look closely from the Burj Khalifa observation deck and you’ll find a ski hill in the desert, a pair of man-made islands resembling palm trees, award winning architecture and maybe you’ll even spot lots of tiny little Ferraris and Lamborghinis racing around.
