WEDAD FADEL

The spark that ignited Wedad Fadel’s passion for cooking was her mother, but she became even more interested in it while studying in Australia. Trying new dishes motivated her to learn more, and she found herself recreating them. When she came back home and started preparing dishes for her family, especially for breakfast, she knew she wanted to pursue cooking as a career. It also inspired her to come up with a breakfast recipe that combines crowd favorites Masoub and banana bread. Wedad is currently a chef at Crumbs Restaurant in Dammam, and strives to become an elite chef with her own restaurant one day. Instagram:  chef.de
