On a short visit to Marrakesh in 2015, Khalid Dahbi had a culinary Eureka moment. Walking through the busy local markets and past the colourful spice and herb stalls, his cheffy imagination was tickled and with it a seed was planted for a gastronomic Moorish home journey, Babouch was then born!
Addicted to Marrakesh, he kept going back for more inspiration and started to document his food adventures as he travelled across the country to learn more about the heritage of dishes and customs associated with them. No stranger to moroccan food, Khalid was born and brought up in Rabat where his love affair with good food began, he often strolled the local markets with his parents who thought him the essence of eating fresh & seasonal.
