I have always been a creative, enjoying writing, crocheting, playing guitar and of course cooking. Cooking has been my passion since I was 6 years old, and my father used to be a chef, so I enjoyed learning from him. I always cooked for housemates and friends, all of whom really appreciated my food and went as far as telling me that I should sell it at festivals. The idea to start my own catering business first came to me in summer 2025, when my sister-in-law asked me if I could make a huge batch of hummus and my signature tahini, kale and sweet potato salad for her wedding. People I had never met before went out of their way to find me during the reception and tell me how delicious the salad and hummus were, which made me realise that people didn’t just say they liked my food because we are friends or to flatter me; they really did mean it. I felt a surge of hope and inspiration and became set on starting a North African catering business with a focus on vegetarian food. This made so much sense suddenly. I always wanted my own restaurant, to cook the foods I had grown up eating for other people, and to work for myself. I started making a list of North African (or Maghrebi) recipes I wanted to make, made my friends try them, and they all loved it, so I felt that my idea had been validated and I should go ahead and establish Maghrebi properly.
