Background

I've been an avid gardener since I was a child. I grew up in Casablanca, Morocco, where I spent most of my time outdoors. I was always fascinated by the natural world and particularly by plants. I remember spending hours in the garden, planting seeds, and watching them grow. I also loved to watch my mother cook. I was always curious about the ingredients she used and how they came together to create such delicious meals. I loved to help her in the kitchen and I learned a lot from her.

After moving to the United States, I decided to pursue a career as a chef. I never lost my love for gardening, though, and I continued to grow my own food. I also started to offer gardening services to my friends and family. I realized that I could combine my love for gardening with my passion for cooking by starting my own business (Simply Moroccan Cuisine).

I recently moved to Virginia Beach, from New York. Looking for new clients and opportunities in the area.
