Born in Brussels, Nargisse Benkabbou was introduced to a love of food and cooking from a very young age by her Moroccan parents. Drawing on the Moroccan cuisine of her upbringing and international influences through her own travels, Nargisse creates eclectic recipes that are a blend of old and new. She combines the traditional cooking methods and spices from Morocco with modern techniques and ingredients from around the world.

After the birth of her baby, Nargisse strives to make sure her daughter’s taste buds become as adventurous as her own by weaving together a range of ingredients, flavours and techniques from both the East and West.
