Bader Najeeb Al Awadhi is a 20-year-old self-taught Emirati cook. His love for baking started when he was about 14 or 15 years old. He entered the kitchen to mess around while his mother baked, but the foolishness backfired and turned into a lifetime hobby!
Al Awadhi learnt his culinary skills from watching YouTube videos and reading cookbooks. He finds himself leaning towards desserts more than main courses and appetizers, but is trying to change his interests.
He has hosted two of his own cooking TV shows and also hosts, films, directs and edits his own videos for his Youtube Channel, ‘WithChefB’.
Najeeb was recently awarded the Up and Comer Award at the Esquire Awards.
