The Blue Elephant empire began in 1980 when Chef Nooror, residing in Brussels with her antique dealer husband, captivated friends and clients with her authentic Thai creations.
Co-founder and MasterChef of this gastronomic haven, Chef Nooror graciously welcomed Trends Host David Barrett for a delectable Christmas episode that unfolded her culinary journey.
