Najat Kaanache

This episode, we are joined by Najat Kaanache, who was told from an early age that she was destined to be a girl who would become nothing. Born in San Sebastian to Moroccan parents, Najat defied those words, and has enjoyed successful careers as both a leading television actress and an award-winning chef across three countries. She was the first — and only — Moroccan chef to work at Ferran Adrià’s El Bulli restaurant in Spain. Her restaurant, Nur located in Fez, has been named the World’s Best Moroccan Restaurant since its 2017 opening. A tireless advocate for women’s rights, Najat strives to inspire women of all ages to persevere and achieve their dreams.
