About

makes traditional Moroccan bread, cookies, and treats like lemon cheesecake, stuffed dates, Fekkas, and Ghraybeh (Moroccan-style cookies similar to shortbread) 🇲🇦

Chaima is no stranger to the food & beverage industry. When she first moved to Canada in 2021, she worked as a private chef at UBC and as a production chef at a catering company. Her mother is a chef in Morocco, so the kitchen became her form of therapy whenever she felt alone in this new country 👩🏻‍🍳

Last year, Chaima went on maternity leave and decided to switch gears, joining @flavoursofhope’s Dream Cuisines program. She started @darnamoroccanflavours in hopes of sharing her Moroccan heritage with the rest of Vancouver.

Owner Chaima’s ultimate goal is to grow her business through online orders and catering so that she can eventually run the business with a hands-off approach and spend more time with her 1-year-old son 👩‍👦
