From Cafes to Michelin Stars: Nadia, Our Culinary Mastermind
Our journey began with Nadia, a woman whose love for food has taken her on incredible adventures. After earning a business management degree, she opened a charming cafe in Stellenbosch, South Africa. Never one to settle, she then dove headfirst into professional cookery and patisserie studies in Cape Town. Her culinary journey continued with a prestigious position as a pastry chef at a top-10 fine dining restaurant. A thirst for exploration led her to a tropical island, and eventually to the vibrant Middle East. It was there that she met Fouad, the love of her life.
From Bakery Owner to Banking Whiz: Fouad, Our Business Backbone
Fouad, too, boasts an impressive background. Beginning his career as a successful entrepreneur with his own bakery, he later transitioned to the world of banking. When they started their own family, both Nadia and Fouad found themselves frustrated by the lack of healthy, clean-ingredient snacks available. This shared concern sparked a fire within them, and together they embarked on a mission to create a better option for families like theirs.
