Today I felt the faintest hint of a chill in the air in Doha. Which means it was 27 degrees instead of 35.
Still, winter is coming and this is the most active time in Doha for foodie events and happenings.
So for my Qatar-based readers, here are three foodie events you should try and make happen in the coming days and weeks.
My love of dumplings is well documented and I have even traveled to China and Hong Kong on dumpling expeditions. W Doha’s Spice Market is running a Dim Sum promotion with renowned Chinese chef Allan Huang.

For QR250 you get a soup, two starters and six baskets of dumplings plus desserts. There is a special cocktail and mocktail menu for an additional charge. The promotion runs until 19 November. Tweet @wdoha for bookings. *Special note on this, the dumplings are now available a la carte and not in the special menu
It’s white truffle season and Doha is not immune to the fervor that greets these earthy delights. Ritz Carlton Doha has a special promotion at its lovely Porcini restaurant have a special a la carte menu designed around these “diamonds”

For reservations or more information, call +974 4484 8000 or go to http://www.ritzcarlton.com/doha.
Finally, it would be remiss of me not to mention a cheese event. Every last Tuesday evening of the month, Four Seasons Doha hosts a Cheese and Jazz night at it’s Italian restaurant, Il Teatro.
Prices are QR295 per person including special beverages or QR 195 per person for buffet only. Available every last Tuesday of the month from 8pm to 11pm. For more information, please call +(974) 4494 8600.
I will be there this month so if you are keen to join, drop me a line @rachelannmorris
I will try and make this a semi-regular post for us Doha foodies in search of a good feed.
