Formerly the director of the show “Informe Semanal” for eight years, Alicia Gómez Montano will be moderating a dialogue with the best-known chef of Moroccan origin in the world, Najat Kaanache, an inspiring entrepreneur and defender of women’s rights who has made her dreams come true, focusing on the idea that every challenge in changing the world can be overcome by using six main ingredients. She has created a charitable initiative to protect the origin of products.
Najat Kaanache. A chef, humanitarian, educator and entrepreneur born in San Sebastián to a Moroccan family, after studying film and theater in London, Kaanache decided to pursue an education in cooking and has worked at some of the finest restaurants in the world (Noma, El Bulli, etc.). A researcher and creator of gourmet foods, she came up with the project Sixingredients based on the idea that just six ingredients are needed to change the world: our five senses and our own awareness. It is a transformative project for ecology and gourmet cuisine that uses the “Community Guardians” concept which she runs out of her restaurant, Nur, in Fez, Morocco.
