Who or what inspires you to cook?

It was my mother who transmitted to me the love of cooking, with her recipes full of flavors and generosity. She is my greatest inspiration.

What's your all time favorite dish to make?

My all-time favorite dish to prepare is a chicken pastilla, expertly crafted with a delicate blend of spices and wrapped in a crisp, golden pastry.

What would you do with the $25,000?

With the 25,000 $, I want to invest in my culinary dream by developing my own fusion concept, combining Moroccan, French, and African flavors. This amount will allow me to expand my horizons by launching a professional project, enhancing my skills, and offering unforgettable gastronomic experiences to my clients. It’s an investment in my passion, my future, and my ambition.
